At first my new {#blank#}1{#/blank#} were difficult to tolerate. The air seemed thin, as though  its combination of gases had little oxygen left.  Hit by a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of fresh air, my head ached. Just as I tried to make the necessary {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to this new situation ,Wang ping handed a mask to me and I felt better in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} time. Soon I was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} on my feet again and following him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer. Wang Ping fastened my safety belt and showed me how to use it. Soon I could fly as fast as him. However, I lost {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of him when we reached what looked like a large market because of too many carriage flying in all directions.

    During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually {#blank#}7{#/blank#} those held in the Middle Ages. People began to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. … Rich people wanted to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their own paintings, so they could {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their superb palaces and great houses.

    I was always told that the three Ps, patience, positive thinking and perseverance, were a sure path{#blank#}1{#/blank#}success. But this piece of advice does not always work as planned. My high school math exam is one example. The exam， {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was originally to be held in our classroom, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(change) to the library at the last minute. This, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, didn't bother me because math had always been my strongest subject. I patiently walked to the library, took my seat and took a deep breath to help relax {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. But my mood quickly changed when I saw{#blank#}6{#/blank#}first question. I had no idea how to do it. I tried to stay positive and preserved{#blank#}7{#/blank#} I finally found the solution. With the problem{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (solve), I felt proud of my achievement. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fortunate), I then notice that I had just 10 minutes left {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (complete) the rest.

    I don't very often have a full day off work. Today I did. I had a leisurely morning, going to the gym, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (walk) the dog, feeding my friend's cat, and thought I would hurry into the office at Job number 2, to fill in my time sheet so I would {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pay) for the hours I have worked. I was thinking that I had worked less hours because the lady I share job with was working instead {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. I prayed then, that somehow we would have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much) money coming in this month and imagined money coming in to my bank account.

    I arrived at the office to see the main secretary looking very pale. She asked what my afternoon {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (plan) were, when I said I had the afternoon free she asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I could work for her, as she had really hurt her back. I was really looking forward to a day off, but she looked in such pain that I said yes straight away. She did a quick handover of what {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) urgent and needed to be done.

    I raced home and got {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (change) into work appropriate clothes and took over. Our boss phoned and thanked me for stepping in so that everything went {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (smooth). The unwell person went home, and I got four hours extra pay. It's amazing how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} universe works.

    In elementary school, George wasn't {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (exact) popular, but he always had a couple of really good friends. In middle school, he was really good at science and math. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} most kids were going to the movies on weekends, George preferred to design his own special projects. He dreamed of owning his own technology company someday. When George got to high school, some of the other students made {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of him for being into books and computers. This made George very upset, but he tried not to let anything keep his dream from {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (achieve). George got excellent grades and was admitted {#blank#}5{#/blank#} both Harvard and Yale, but he decided to go to Stanford {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there were many opportunities for people {#blank#}7{#/blank#} wanted to work in Silicon Valley. This was the first time George {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (feel) accepted by the people around him. He took many computer classes, and kept designing his own projects on weekends. During the summer months, he would take extra classes, and he ended up {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (graduate) a year early. He took a job {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a computer programmer at Apple. After five more years there, George left to start his own company, finally realizing his childhood dream.

    I have always enjoyed listening to music. It helps me calm down after {#blank#}1{#/blank#} busy day, and I am also one of those {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can listen and study at the same time. I am not fond of jazz music, but I like many other {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (type) of music. When I was a child, I used to listen to music on the radios. With the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (invent) of personal computers and cellphones, I prefer to listen on the phone, as new functions {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (add) to them in the past few years. The technology was developed in response {#blank#}6{#/blank#} customer demand. Some people {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (affect) by anxiety start to feel relaxed while listening to music on the phones. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} worry about not being able to use it well. However, I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#} dependent on the cellphones that I fail {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (live) without them.
