I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#}only child of my parents, so they are worried {#blank#}2{#/blank#}everything I do. For example, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I ride my bike, my parents won't let me {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ride) by myself. They are afraid I might fall off my bike and hurt {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. They are taking great trouble to support the bike, with my mother even {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(carry) a first-aid box. I'm not free to ride and I often say {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(angry), “why not let me ride alone?”

    Now, most families have one child. Parents want to do everything for their children. This does no good {#blank#}8{#/blank#}them. Too much love from parents may prevent children from {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) independent. In my opinion, parents should let their children do {#blank#}10{#/blank#}they should do alone.

    We high school students do have some growing pains，but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}，some of us are upset {#blank#}2{#/blank#} our body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all.We needn't care about it.It is one's inner beauty {#blank#}3{#/blank#} matters. Second，we sometimes seem to be misunderstood {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our teachers，parents and classmates.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (face) with this，we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them，trying to remove the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (understand)．Some of us have fewer friends.I think being open-minded and friendly will do us good. Third，we may fall behind others,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to work efficiently，full of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (determine)． At last，some of us don't have much pocket money，so we feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some，that's enough. And we can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to spend money.

    I was at the Indian grocery store with my cart totally full to check out. There was an African American man in his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sixty) behind me. I told him he could go before me{#blank#}2{#/blank#}he had just two items in his hand, and he was all smiles and added, as if{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) fun of me. “Thanks! Why don't you pay for my stuff too,” and laughed. I felt a little{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(embarrass)  and thought that the man had a wonderful sense of humor.

    I told the lady at the check out not{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(change) him. I said I would pay for him. He said, “No, no, no, I was just kidding.” And I{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(reply) with a smile, “Yes, yes your wish is heard. Please let me do it!”

    As we talked outside, he told me that the Indian herbs(草药){#blank#}7{#/blank#}he had bought{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) for his friend so I should take the money. I said to him, “It is good that it is not for you. Now you can pay it forward to somebody else.” He thanked me and promised he would.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (eventual), I went home{#blank#}10{#/blank#}my car full of groceries and my heart full of warmth and kindness.

    Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(destroy) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged{#blank#}2{#/blank#}their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or roofs. One person was killed, several were{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(serious) hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

    A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the morning and lasted for over an hour.

    "I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat) with my wife and children," he said," when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(climb) out but then I saw that one of my children was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(miss).I went back inside and found him, safe{#blank#}8{#/blank#}very frightened."

Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(feel) that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

    Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) food, clothes and shelter.

    When the construction of the new factory came to the end in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} European village, a pump was put in. Then, all the settlers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (defeat) by a severe disease {#blank#}3{#/blank#} characteristic was similar to cholera. An expert physician who was instructed to attend to the victims and handle this case showed great enthusiasm, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he didn't foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that it was the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (pollute) water that made the people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (suffer) from the disease. But without positive {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (evident), people suspected and rejected his view, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (say) the theory he put forward made no sense. Being much {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (strict) with himself than before, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analyzed the data carefully. Finally, he drew a scientific {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (conclude), linking the disease to the radium in the pump. He found out why people there got sick immediately.
