A dog entered a butcher's（肉贩）shop with a note in his mouth. The note read, “$10 of lamb chops (羊排），please.”

    The butcher was very{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(surprise). He took the money, put a bag of chops in the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(dog) mouth, and then he closed the shop{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(quick). He followed the dog and watched him wait for a green light. Then the dog crossed the road to a bus stop. He checked the timetable and sat on the bench. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and got{#blank#}4{#/blank#}it.

    As the bus traveled out into the countryside, the dog enjoyed the scenery. After{#blank#}5{#/blank#} while, he stood on his back paws (爪子）{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (push) the “stop” button. Then the butcher followed {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(he) off.

    The dog ran up to a house and dropped his bag on the ground. He went back down the path, took a big run, and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (throw) himself against the door. No answer. He repeated the action a few times. Then a big man opened the door {#blank#}9{#/blank#} started complaining(抱怨) about the dog and beating him.

    Seeing this, the butcher ran up and shouted at the man, “What are you doing? This dog is a genius!” The man replied, “Genius? No way! He has forgotten his key for the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(four) times this month!”

    Since a university education in the United States {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be)very expensive, most students work in addition to studying. Students {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(usual)work part-time, but some students take full-time jobs.

    A typical job for a students would be working {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a waiter or waitress. Other typical off-campus jobs would include being a clerk in a store or delivering pizza. Sometimes students also find jobs on campus such as cleaning, working in a cafeteria or library or answering {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(telephone). Most student jobs are entry-level and low paying, but have flexible schedule{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(allow) students to attend classes.

    Sometimes students also hold more responsible positions such as managers, or if they are lucky, positions in their area of study,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}they hope will help them find employment after they graduate.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}double responsibilities of working and studying result in a very busy,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (stress)life for some students.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, it is the only way for many people to finance their college educations. Some Americans believe that the work experience is good for the students {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they)since it gives them a taste of “the real world” outside the school.

    Are you a-teenager{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (absorb) in music? If so, I will give you a warning – the music you love could end up making you deaf. More {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(specific), the way you listen to the music you love could make you deaf.

    The problem is .headphones. In the past, we played music out into the air. Then earmuff-style（耳罩式）headphones {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (invent) and we were able to play music much closer to our eras. Now we have earbuds（耳塞）, which many doctors think are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (bad) than older headphones because they play music directly into the eras. Also, earbuds are not as good as blocking outside noise, so people{#blank#}5{#/blank#} use them nay turn the volume {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to dangerous levels.

    What's the dangerous level? Well, it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(depend) on how long you are going to listen to the noise. Very, very loud sounds can be dangerous to your hearing. But the scary {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(true) is that even seemingly “normal” noise can be dangerous {#blank#}9{#/blank#}you listen to it all the time.

    Think for a minute about how long you spend {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (listen) to loud noise with headphones every day. Then do some research. There are resources online telling you what volumes are safe, and for how long.

    As a kid I disliked most vegetables. My daily meal consisted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sugary cereal (谷类食物)in the mornings with whole milk, bread with butter for lunch along with chips, and a plate of white rice with chicken for dinner with either soda {#blank#}2{#/blank#} juice to drink. Whenever {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) out on weekends. I always chose fast food. An order of chicken nuggets with a side of fries was what I always wanted.

    Then the food that I loved {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (begin) to give me chest pains, heart burns, and stomachaches. I quickly realized that this couldn't end in anything good. So I decided {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (put) a stop to my unhealthy diet. I cut out fast food from my diet and instead searched for places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} offered me steamed vegetables, fruits, and foods higher in protein like beans which were things that I had been previously lacking in my diet.

    Making a change will never be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}easy task but sometimes it takes a hit of tugging to push us towards {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(we) goal. In my case it took an upset stomach and chest pains to learn that fast food wasn't the best choice for my health, but thanks to this now I feel {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(well) than ever. I am {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (constant) going to the gym, and I'm still eating what I love while supporting ray own body.

    I came to England last summer. I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) in England for eleven months. I am going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave {#blank#}2{#/blank#} China next month.

    At first it was very difficult for me {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(communicate)with other people in English, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}now I can speak English much {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(well), and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have helped me a lot.

    I have lots of English{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(friend) now. Some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they) have even invited me for dinner at their houses {#blank#}8{#/blank#}I have learned a lot about their custom. They are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (interest) to learn about China and Chinese people. Every time they ask me a lot of questions, I realize how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (few) I know about my own country.

    I will never forget the day when I went to a coming- of - age ceremony. Last month, an unforgettable adult ceremony {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) for all the senior 3 students in our school. It began at half past two in the afternoon. Decorated by colorful flowers and balloons, the stadium looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (amaze) beautiful. All of us students were dressed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}school uniforms with red ribbons on our wrists, showing the energy of youth. We walked into the stadium in high spirits, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (accompany) by our parents. Our principal delivered {#blank#}5{#/blank#} inspiring speech at first, and we received {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (congratulate) from our teachers. During the ceremony, we expressed our heart-felt gratitude to our parents by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bow) to them. I was moved to tears when I got a photo album from my parents, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} reminded me of my happy childhood. In the end, we raised {#blank#}9{#/blank#} right hands and made a serious promise to become reliable and honest citizens.

    As far as I 'm concerned, the ceremony indicates that we should take on more responsibilities to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (independence) and get away from the shelter of our family.
