    As two women walked into a New Jersey hospital, they laughed. It showed the love that had held them together1 forty years as best friends. Although they were laughing, one of these ladies would soon put her life in danger2her best friend.

    Patty Hurley and Eileen Riley met at high school and have been close friends ever since. But when Eileen,3nurse, became ill with kidney (肾) disease, she didn't go running to her friend—Patty came to help her, after4Eileen was sick. "My kidneys are failing," Eileen explained.

    "Can I give you one of mine?"5the immediate reply.

    The offer was so simple6Eileen thought she had heard wrong. But Patty repeated she was willing to help, and their journey to the operating table began.

    Eileen always knew that her friend would help. She said7, "When Patty makes a promise, she keeps8."

    The operation went ahead in May, and both women are now very healthy and9than ever.

    "There are no words to describe10amazing this woman is," Eileen said afterwards. "She gave me my life."

Every student knows the importance of taking notes in class. But the skill of note-taking isn't only used in school. Adults also need to take notes in meetings or training courses for work. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

At the beginning of a class or meeting, write down the date and topic in your notebook. It will help you keep your notes organized.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Trying to write down everything the speaker says will only make you angry. Instead, listen for the key ideas the speaker wants to communicate.

If the speaker uses a PowerPoint, you don't need to copy the slides ( 幻灯片) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}If so, you can just write the key words the speaker says. Or you can take pictures with your mobile phone. Sometimes, the PowerPoint is provided before the class or meeting {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Review your notes as soon as possible. In this way, you can add any information that you didn't t write down. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Note-taking is a useful skill, so you need to practice more to do it well.

A. Pay attention to the most important points. 

B. If so, print it out so that you can write notes on it.

C. You can also review the material while it' s still fresh on your mind.

D. Here are some ways to help you develop this important skill.

E. Ask if the PowerPoint will be provided later.

There are many happy and sad moments in our life. But they don't always 1 us. We forget things every day. What should we do? For me, 2 is a good way to help us deal with this problem. Now, I'm still learning more about it. I enjoy recording(记录) my daily life with my 3 . 

I started to learn about photography in seventh grade. One day, my 4 took me to see a photo show which was held by a famous photographer. When I saw the amazing photos, I felt quite 5 . They looked like oil paintings and were true to nature I fell in love with them at once. 

After I saw the photos, I 6 asked my father to buy me a camera on the way home. To my surprise. he agreed . But he said seriously, "Promise me that you will keep 7 photography. Never give it up. " After I got my new camera, I went out to 8 everything I saw. Flying birds, walking people, blooming(盛开的) flowers-anything I liked. 

It is like a close friend to me and it helps my 9 stay. My photos aren't always that great, but I still 10 photography. I feel good to record city life with my "good friend"-my camera. 

Last year, I did not like my English classes. The teacher spoke so {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (quick) that I did not understand her most of the time. But I was afraid to ask {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(question) because of my poor pronunciation. I just said nothing. 

Then one day I watched {#blank#}3{#/blank#} English movie called Toy Story. I was really interested in this exciting {#blank#}4{#/blank#} funny movie, so I began to watch other English movies too. At {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (one), I couldn't understand everything the characters (角色) said. Soon I found their body language and the expressions (表情) helped me {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get) the meanings. I also realized (意识到) I could get the meanings {#blank#}7{#/blank#} listening to the key words. I also learnt some useful (有用的){#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sentence). That's because I always looked {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) up in the dictionary. 

Now I really enjoy my English classes. I  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (learn) more new words and grammar in the future. In this way, I can have a better understanding of English movies.
