In the USA the high school graduation ceremony is of great {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(important). 12th grade students, or seniors, who are about 17 or 18 years old, look forward to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (attend) this event.

    The graduation ceremony itself takes place at the end of May or beginning of June, which usually {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (include) music awards, and a guest speaker. After the speech, students walk to the front of the room to receive their diplomas from the headmaster. Students start preparing for graduation a long time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it happens. They order rings designed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (special) for their class.

    Another tradition is to have their photographs{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(take). These photographs are used{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the class yearbook, which is a printed book about all the students in the school. Students have special cards called announcements printed to send to friends and relatives to tell them about their graduation. The cards often include{#blank#}8{#/blank#} invitation to the ceremony. If you receive it, you should send a present {#blank#}9{#/blank#}money to the graduate. A few weeks before the ceremony, the students are measured the cap that they will wear at the ceremony. After the ceremony,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (family) usually have graduation parties for friends and relatives. It's a day and a night that high school seniors remember for a long time.

    There is a woman {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（name）Daisy who has devoted all her life to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（attend）to the homeless children. It's generally recognized that what she has done for children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（deserve）to be respected by everyone. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（personal）speaking, her selfless behavior sets a good example to us.

    There was a time when I came across Daisy who {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（invite）to deliver a speech, during which she indicated, “{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（take）care of homeless children is just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ordinary job, but it doesn't mean that you can look down {#blank#}8{#/blank#}it. Every job is equal. We can't say which one is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（good ）.” She also said, “Once you set out to do something, you ought to carry on with it to the end, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will gain nothing in the end.”

    Chinese double amputee (截肢) climber Xia Boyu received the most votes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (global) to become the 2019 Laureus Sporting Moment of the Year winner on Monday.

    Xia came out from an initial list of 10 nominees before three finalists were made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (know) to the public earlier this month.

    Xia had lost both his legs in 1975 during his first attempt to reach {#blank#}3{#/blank#} world's highest peak of Qomolangma due to frostbite. He challenged the summit in 2014, 2015 and 2016 {#blank#}4{#/blank#} well, but his dreams {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (break) owing to avalanche, earthquake and bad weather respectively.

    Xia finally made {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in his fifth attempt on May 14, 2018, becoming the first Chinese double amputee climber {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (reach) the summit of Qomolangma.

    "Climbing to the summit of Qomolangma is always a dream and goal for me. I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fight) for it over the past decades. Despite bad knocks several times, I never gave up. I think the determination made my life so colorful and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (meaning)," Xia told Chinese media.

    Xia added that his next goal will be "7+2", namely the highest summits of seven {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (continent), plus the South Pole and North pole.

To Be Joyful, To Be Young

    What really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle? It's probably not what you think. In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. There's no point {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better, and quickly. When people eat more healthfully, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you exercise and eat right, your brain{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (receive) more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (grow) that it actually increased {#blank#}6{#/blank#} size of people's brains! Your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} attractive. In contrast, an {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (health) die and smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your blood vessel becoming narrower, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely.
