Theme Parks

    Parks provide people{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a place to amuse{#blank#}2{#/blank#} for a while. In recent decades, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, many parks have been designed to provide{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entertain). We call them theme parks. Then new parks are usually huge places and have a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of things to see and do. Theme Parks have a certain theme—that the whole parks are based {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (old) theme park in the world is Disneyland. It seemed like a magical world which can make your dream come true. But if you are interested in traditional culture and history, go to Dollywood, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you can have fun {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (learn) all about America's historical southeastern culture, then you can go to Camelot Park, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} world of fantasy about ancient England.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the beauty is on familiar terms with the humorous musician with a long beard.

    Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (wear) sun glasses. He walked in as if he had bought the school , And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City .  For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(please), because there were many empty seats in the room. But she quickly realized that it wasn't her, it was probably the fact that she sat in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}last row. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turned to look at him, they had to look at Mary, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} made her feel like a star. Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?” the teacher asked .The new boy shook his head.” Then I'd appreciate {#blank#}7{#/blank#} if you didn't wear them in class. I like tolook at your eyes when I'm speaking to you.” The new boy looked at the teacher{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a few seconds and all the other students wondered {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the boy woulddo . Then he took {#blank#}10{#/blank#}off, gave a big smile and said, “That's cool.”

    Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(recover) appeared to be a blood transfusion（输血）from her 5-year-old brother{#blank#}3{#/blank#} had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to fight the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ill).

    The doctor{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(explain) the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I'll do it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it can save Liz.”

    As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister{#blank#}7{#/blank#}smiled, as we all did{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(see) the color returning to her cheeks. Then{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(he) face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”

    Being young, the boy had{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(understand) the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.

    One evening years ago in New York, I sat on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (run) freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance away. The boy would fall to the grass,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(get) up, and without looking back {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

    When kids fall down, they don't think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider{#blank#}4{#/blank#}as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(touch) by the boy's strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(free) and to do it as {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(good) as he could. He was just being a child—just being himself—being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fall), he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life. He was not looking for others' smiles, or worrying about{#blank#}9{#/blank#}someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely.

    I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(part) of my life.

    In recent years many TV shows have become extremely popular among Chinese audience. Those programs, ranging from talent or dating shows to reality shows {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(receive) both commercial success and public attention.

    Their popularity is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(main) based on simple facts. First, they care {#blank#}3{#/blank#} social concerns. Second, without exception, they explore {#blank#}4{#/blank#} perfect balance between the international forms and Chinese expressions.

    Despite apparent highlights, much room {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave) for improvement. Above all, commercial interests often outweigh educational purposes, causing many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(complaint) about the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bearable) advertisements. In addition, some sharp remarks, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they are eye-catching, may have misleading effects on the youth.

    In my opinion, such shows should shoulder more responsibility instead of merely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(entertain) the public. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is expected, these programs should be positive in their forms as well as functions. Meanwhile, the media should also safeguard the values of our society.
