Since the one-baby policy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (carry) out in China, Chinese families have been shrinking from one with over 10 members to the other with only three including parents and one baby. Things are usually out of our expectation. Apart from the benefits {#blank#}2{#/blank#} have been mentioned enough, small families are now beginning to have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} own problems. Because parents are having fewer children, they increasingly feel the need {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (control) the lives of those children. As a result, many children are becoming less {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (depend), determined and ambitious than in the past.   

Parents today discourage their children from doing housework, extracurricular activities and socializing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they fear it will interrupt their education. For example, when I was younger I wanted to learn the guitar {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my parents wouldn't allow me because they believed it would distract me from my studies. They are happy as long as I perform {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wonder) in my exams but don't seem concerned about how I develop {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a person.

To some extent, I understand parents' concerns, but I think they should love their children for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} they are, not what they want them to be. We deserve the chance to chase our own dreams and learn on our own. Even if we fail, we can learn from those failures.

    I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) together with my grandparents since I was born. It was they who took care of me when I was young. Now I am {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（get) more and more {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (patient) with them. I didn't bother to repeat my words {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they didn't understand; sometimes I even snapped at(严厉说） them when they kept {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (complain).

    A few days ago, I read an article. It says “Aging is like a disease {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is inevitable(不可避免的）for everyone, though nobody wants it. Be patient with the old, because one day you will become one of them.” I become very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (guilt) when I read those words. Indeed, I wouldn't like to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (treat) in a bad way when I was old. What I need, as well as many {#blank#}9{#/blank#} young people, is to be a bit more patient to them. From now on, when I am with them, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (try) to recall what they have given me and show more patience with them.

    Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For{#blank#}1{#/blank#}it is a useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students{#blank#}2{#/blank#} many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this activity. Today the Internet is playing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}important role in our life. Therefore as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening and organizing micro blogs need various abilities such {#blank#}7{#/blank#} writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we improve ourselves while {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) our micro blogs.

    In fact, micro blog {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

    Kids would love to have more money in their pockets. With the money that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(make) by themselves they can buy the things they want. Actually, making money when you are a kid is much{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(easy) than you think. Here is a great method of making money for you, if you are a kid. It's dog walking.

    Don't try to do dog walking as a business if you are not{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(comfort) with dogs. However, if you love dogs, this can be a good {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(choose).

    Usually your customers are in the neighborhood. Ask dog owner {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tell) you as much as possible{#blank#}6{#/blank#} their dogs and their habits. It's very important that you keep friendly with the dogs{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bring) a treat to the dogs can help develop a friendship with them.

    You can charge 5 dollars {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a walk lasts 30 minutes. If a dog's owner wants you to walk{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(he) dog for an hour, you can charge 10 dollars or even 15 dollars.

    The only disadvantage of this method is that you have to deal with dog waste. Be sure to take{#blank#}10{#/blank#} bag and clean up after those dogs.

    Athens, the capital of Greece{#blank#}11{#/blank#}(know)as the birthplace of{#blank#}12{#/blank#}(west) civilization. Two thousand four hundred years ago, it was the world's most {#blank#}13{#/blank#}(power)city{#blank#}14{#/blank#} (build) such as the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill were built during this period. Greece's best writers lived in ancient Athens. Their work has influenced other writers ever {#blank#}15{#/blank#}

    In today's world many people seem to be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hunger) for money. Money does have its most useful effects on the poor. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} even if a person has already got plenty of money, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (happy) can't be bought by money.

    If money were beginning, all millionaires {#blank#}4{#/blank#} have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.

    Since {#blank#}5{#/blank#} beginning of time no three words have ever invited more {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pleased) than "I love you". But can love be bought? I'm afraid not Love {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mean) to give, not to take. To every person, health and a long life are bought with money? The answer is "No".

    Of all the longest {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (life) people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can't be bought, either in a world, where money is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (dream) too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (strange) to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
