The school wants to encourage excellent Chinese students to consider {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Oxford can offer for their academic and professional careers.

    “The students{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (come) well－prepared with specific questions and were serious about the chance,”said Sherwood,director of graduate admissions and funding at Oxford,who will make {#blank#}5{#/blank#} two stops for the fair in Wuhan and Shanghai.

    An earthquake is a shaking of the ground{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cause) by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earth's rocky outer shell. Earthquakes are among the most{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(power) events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. Rock movements during an earthquake can make rivers{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(change) their course. Earthquakes can cause great damage and loss of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(live). Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series{#blank#}5{#/blank#}huge and destructive waves called tsunamis{#blank#}6{#/blank#}flood coasts for many miles. Earthquakes almost never kill people{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(direct). Instead, many deaths and injuries in earthquakes result from {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fall) objects and the collapse（倒塌）of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Fire caused from broken gas or power lines is another major danger during{#blank#}9{#/blank#}quake. Spills（溢出）of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(harm) chemicals are also a concern during an earthquake.

    Longjing tea, also known as West Lake Dragon Well tea, is named  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} its production region—Longjing Village of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

    West Lake Dragon Well tea has topped list of  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ten most famous teas in China. The superior geographical environment and good quality water resources around West Lake have contributed much to the growth of Longjing tea.

    Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (visit) Lion Peak Moutain during his Hangzhou travels, and he saw several  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lady) picking the tea at the foot of the mountain. He was so interested in it that he decided to have a try himself.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} picking the tea, he received the news of his mother s illness, so he  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (careless) put the leaves in his right sleeve and left Hangzhou for Beijing. He visited his mother immediately upon his  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (arrive) in Beijing, and Empress Dowager smelt the fragrance of the leaves in his sleeve and wanted to have a taste. Emperor Qianlong ordered some tea for Empress Dowager, and she found  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she) completely refreshed after  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (drink) a cup of tea, and she even praised it as a treatment for all ills. From then on, Shi Feng Longjing tea  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (list) as the tribute tea (贡茶）especially for Empress Dowager.

    Shark attacks can be deadly, but they are not common. Each year, sharks usually kill fewer than 10 people worldwide, and about 100 people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (injure). You are more likely to be attacked in parts of the sea {#blank#}2{#/blank#} tourists throw in food to bring in sharks. However, people are dangerous to sharks, too. 60 million sharks are killed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} food and medicine every year. As a result, some kinds of sharks may die out completely. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (protect) these wonderful animals, some countries have made programs to help them survive.

    The other day my father drove me to school as usual. When we arrived it began to rain {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(heavy) but we only had one raincoat. My father insisted I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wear) it. Even though I would rather my father {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(put) it on, I didn't insist because I knew it would put him in a bad temper. Anyway, I did my best to use my raincoat to prevent him {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(get) wet. I was so moved by his sacrifice that I cried.

    The rain reminded me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} how much my father loved me. When I was in primary school, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(perform) poorly in tests but my father always encouraged me. Sometimes I want to join clubs or go on school trips. He always supports me since he thinks such activities are beneficial to me, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I can {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(broad) my horizons.

    Though I love my father, I am at {#blank#}9{#/blank#} loss how to show it. Many students have the same problem. We love and care for our parents, but we don't know {#blank#}10{#/blank#}we can do to help them.

    My computer was broken so I couldn't read your two {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (e-mail) until today. I'm so sorry {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hear) about your problem, but I'm glad you're feeling better and are recovering.

    You are right. We shouldn't be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you're a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (especial) for an actress. However, your mother {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (know) best: nothing is more important {#blank#}6{#/blank#} health.

    It's the same in China-many people, some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (take) weight-loss pills, which are often {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(danger). I hope they can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} your story.

Love
