    Slay calm as the earth begins to shake. Your chances of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (survive) in an earthquake go up if you can keep calm.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (stay) calm is not easy, but it can save your life.

    If you are inside when the earthquake starts, get under {#blank#}6{#/blank#} table or a bed. You need to have something {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (strength) around you to protect you from {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fall) objects. Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.

Remember to always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

    Lasa Bailey took her gloves off when {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（take）her dog for a long walk on a winter day and didn't notice anything until that evening. She was shocked when she realized her beautiful anniversary ring was missing. She {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（hurry）back to look for it but couldn't find anything. Her husband kept going on a website where people sell jewelry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} never found it.

    All that changed, however, thanks to a recent Facebook post {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（write）on their local police department's page. A woman police officer posted, “If anybody knows of anybody losing a diamond ring, please contact us. ”One of her friends read it and wrote on it “Lisa Bailey”.

    The police station happened to find some unidentified {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（jewel）in a local pawn shop（当铺）and took them away. When Bailey learned from her friend that her ring might {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（find）, she couldn't believe it.

    The police called Bailey and asked her to describe it. She sent a picture of it to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and then they asked if she could come to the police station. When the police officer in the station {#blank#}8{#/blank#} had written the Facebook post handed her the ring the next day, she was very thrilled and started to tear up. She could wear her anniversary ring home where it belongs {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（final）after three years'wait.

    Bailey's husband had offered to replace the ring after it went {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（miss）, but she refused because she thought it wouldn't be the same.

    Wang: What's G. P.A.?

    Smith: G. P.A. stands {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the grade quality point average. Quality points are used {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(determine) the students' rank in class, academic honors, and academic warning, and probation or suspension.

    Wang: How can I list my overall undergraduate G. P.A. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(use)3 digits?

    Smith: I think it's difficult to change your grade {#blank#}4{#/blank#} G. P.A., as our system of grading is different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in your country. I'd like to advise you to submit your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(office) transcripts(文字稿)of all previous undergraduate and graduate work.

    Wang: That's a good idea. I took TOEFL last year, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I haven't taken the GRE. What's to be done?

    Smith: The GRE may {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(require) by the particular graduate or professional program. You should go over the Table of Program carefully. What's your TOEFL{#blank#}9{#/blank#}?

    Wang: 630.

    Smith: Wonderful. In general, the graduate division requires a TOEFL score of at least 575. Those {#blank#}10{#/blank#}TOEFL scores are in the range 500­575 are admitted conditionally upon successful completion of further coursework in English as a second language.

    Newton made important contributions to every area of the scientific and mathematical concept to his generation. Born in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} rural English village on Christmas Day, 1642, he was so small that no one thought he would survive. During his childhood he spent much of his time inventing and building toys, and did not do particularly {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good) at school. So his mother, who was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (will) to pay for his education, brought him home to look after the sheep. However, he was always so busy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (build) small devices that the sheep would often escape. Eventually his uncle persuaded his mother {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (send) him to the University of Cambridge, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he became so absorbed in his studies that he often forgot to eat or sleep.

    When Cambridge was closed for two years due to the plague(鼠疫), Newton went home to work on his studies. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bury) himself in mathematics and began developing a mathematical theory that would later become calculus(微积分). It is a popular belief {#blank#}8{#/blank#} on one occasion he was sitting under an apple tree {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an apple fell on his head, which helped him to understand the laws of gravity. It is now thought that perhaps he invented this story in later field to explain how he drew his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (inspire) from everyday events.
