Some people live in the world for body while {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for dignity(尊严).

    I once took a walk along the street on a Saturday dusk, with a Pepsi can in my hand. An old woman in ragged clothes, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}was living on collecting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (use) cans, jars and tins, moved slowly towards me, with a bag on the back! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can. At that time, I hadn't finished my cola, so I gave {#blank#}5{#/blank#} several coins instead.

    She stared at me for a few seconds {#blank#}6{#/blank#} handed back the money. Quite confused, I asked: “Why not? Isn't that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you want?” “I am not a beggar,” she said {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (serious), word by word.

    Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended to help her, completely misunderstanding her. Thus I hurt her. What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her {#blank#}9{#/blank#} emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile {#blank#}10{#/blank#} satisfaction and gratitude in her eyes. The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man. I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson.

    In my opinion, we should try our best {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(realize) our goals even though {#blank#}2{#/blank#}is little hope. The efforts seem to be the lights in the darkness, leading the way to hope and success. I used to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}shy girl in my primary school. I was weak in English at that time, especially for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(speak) English. So I was afraid to answer the teacher's questions during English classes. After I entered my dream middle school. Something {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(change). I started to read many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interest) English stories and my English teacher was patient to help me a lot. I studied hard in class and practiced by watching English films and listening to English songs in my free time. Little {#blank#}7{#/blank#}little, I found {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more and more interesting to learn English. I could even talk with my classmates {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fluent) in English and I was not shy any more. At last, I got high grades in English and I had {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(confident) to do it better in the future.

    I enjoy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(climb) mountains whenever I can find the time to do so. Tom and Mike are my best friends and both of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}also like sports. Two years ago, the three of us {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(go) up to Mt. Lushan. Instead of taking a bus, which is{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(comfortable), we preferred to climb. We started from the foot of the mountain early in the morning, chatting all the way. After climbing for one and a half {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hour), we saw two mountain paths before us. We could not decide {#blank#}6{#/blank#}to choose. In the end, we took the right path, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(think) that might be a short cut. But we were wrong. We could not find our way out. Lost in the mountain, we had to use our hands and feet{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) our way. We began to cry for help {#blank#}9{#/blank#} nobody answered. It was not until darkness fell{#blank#}10{#/blank#} we found a right path leading up to a paved road.

    Confucius(孔子) is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#} setting the tone for much traditional Chinese music for thousands of years. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) to be a music teacher and a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talent) musician who was able to play several instruments expertly. Perhaps for other people around the world, music was meant mainly for amusement.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500 BC, music had an important role in making society stable.

    How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate) somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.

    Musical knowledge was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (subject) to study, ranking music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.

    Music was so important because the ideal society was to be governed by ritual (礼制) functions, but not by law. In a culture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people function according to ritual, music is used to help govern them. So music wasn't really {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain), but a means for musicians to accomplish political and social goals. Music is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eventual) a means for social happiness.

    A man was really worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(train) his child.

    The Buddhist monk said to the boy's father, "You should leave your son to me. I will make him a man of{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(brave) within three months. However, you can't come to see him during that period."

    Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and a(n){#blank#}4{#/blank#}（profession） boxer（拳击手）.

Each time the boxer hit the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up. Several times later，the Buddhist monk asked，"{#blank#}5{#/blank#} do you think of your child?"

    "What {#blank#}6{#/blank#} shame!" the boy's father said." I never thought he could be so{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(easy)knocked down. I shouldn't have left him here at all."

    "I'm sorry that's all you see. Don't you see {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have."

    If each time you are knocked down and you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud {#blank#}10{#/blank#} yourself.

    It is predicted that the Chinese space station will be built mostly by machine. China hopes to have the space station{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(complete) by 2022 and it is expected to operate for at least 10 years.

    China also plans to land a probe（探测器）on Mars by 2020. Until now, China has completed a total of five manned space missions. And, in 2003, it{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(successful) landed a probe on the moon.
