Ever since middle school,my sister and I have dreamed about{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) a great bike trip.After graduating{#blank#}2{#/blank#}college,we finally got the chance to cycle along the entire Mekong River,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}runs past many{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(country) and into the Pacific.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}my sister didn't know the best way of getting places,she insisted that the trip{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(organize) by her. And her{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(determine) look showed that she had made up her mind.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (Luck),the trip was great fun.It was so amazing{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we found{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we) satisfied with it.

    Our parakeet (长尾鹦鹉) Chip and Goldie, a stray tortoiseshell kitten we took in{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (grow) to be best friends, eating and playing together. I was a member{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a bird conservation organization at the time, so we often took care of injured {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bird). Goldie helped raise dozens of injured and orphaned native birds{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (act) as a watchful guardian. One day, it was Chip who needed Goldie's supervision. I had left a large bowl of pancake batter (面糊){#blank#}5{#/blank#} (cover) in the kitchen. But while I was out of the room, Chip climbed onto the bowl to have {#blank#}6{#/blank#} taste but soon fell in and sank{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (luck), Goldie was on hand and stuck her face in the bowl to fish Chip out. She cleaned his face and beak so he could breathe before running to alert me with a loud meow. I followed Goldie{#blank#}8{#/blank#} was also covered in batter, back into the kitchen {#blank#}9{#/blank#} found a battered budgie on the floor. After being washed, dried and warmed, Chip made a full {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (recover). Bowls were always covered in future and Goldie and Chip remained the best of friends.

    Ski touring is exactly that—touring on skis. It combines {#blank#}1{#/blank#} best bits of skiing and mountaineering and provides the perfect way {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (explore) the mountain in winter. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (advantage) of ski touring are that you can really escape the crowds, enjoy the peace of the mountains and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (reward) with breathtaking views and exciting descents.

    Ski touring involves both going up and down the mountain; both of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) present challenges and new skills are to be acquired. There is much to learn about getting up the mountain that improves efficiency and saves energy. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (similar) ，you want to be prepared to enjoy going down, which means learning to deal with the variety of snow conditions you will face. Because all ski touring is very demanding, you must be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} good physical condition. The fitter you are, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (much) fun you will have.

    Rapidly changing conditions and the human factors are the primary reasons for accidents. The human factors include stress, poor {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (communicate), over-confidence and tiredness. You should always ski within the limits of your ability, and make sure you know {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to navigate (导航) properly with map and compass.

    Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American leader of the civil rights movement in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1960s.King {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (remember) for his non-violent protests against the unequal treatment of African-Americans. His actions led to equal rights {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (law) for all people.

    In addition to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (become) an activist, King was a scholar and religious leader. One of the most famous events related {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him came in 1963.That year, more than 250,000 people assembled in Washington, D.C. for the “March on Washington". King delivered a historic address {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) as the" I Have a Dream speech, one of the most famous lines from the speech {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(read): I have a dream {#blank#}8{#/blank#}one day little black boys arid black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

    King's actions helped pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.The law ended the legal {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(separate)of people by race in public places. Although the Civil Rights Act was important, it did not address all kinds of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (race)discrimination.

    If you have ever taken a handwritten prescription from a doctor or looked at the notes from your visit, it seems like no amount of squinting(眯眼) could help the letters get clearer. Bad handwriting almost seems like a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(require) for graduating from medical school. But it's not the fact{#blank#}2{#/blank#}only people with bad handwriting{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(attract) to the medical field. If so, why does it happen to doctors?

“In the medical field, if it's not documented, it{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(actual) didn't happen," says Celine Thum, MD, medical director at ParaDoes Worldwide. Anything you talk about behind closed doors needs written evidence for your medical history. Doctors have to write more than any other employee, for {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they can hardly write letters clearly.

    Long days plus tons of writing leads{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a very tired hand. If doctors could spend an hour{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(deal) with every patient, they might be able to slow down and give their{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hand)a rest. But the truth is that most physicians are rushing around to the next patient. With so many patients to see in a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(limit) time, doctors are{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(concerned) about getting the information down than perfecting their handwriting.
