    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.

    Shared bikes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (them) are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (base) on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other technologies.

    China's most famous wall may have been built to keep people away, but a new kind of wall is bringing people a lot {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (close) together.

This "wall of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kind)", the creation of local charity Chuangyi Workshop, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (invite) passers­by to leave their spare warm clothes and encourages those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are in need to take them.

    "It is just like what you do at home. You hang your clothes when you get home. You take them down {#blank#}5{#/blank#} put them on when you go out," said Wang Lei, director of Chuangyi Workshop. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (inspire) by a similar plan in Iran, she put it into practice in China as the country experienced {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (it) coldest winter in decades.

    Wang and her colleagues receive lots of clothes from people, especially in winter. She {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (touch) by people's generosity. "Some of the clothing is almost new. I don't even have to wash my hands {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sorting it."

After a lot of preparation, Joseph Lockwood and Philippa Amos were finally ready to start their journey into the Amazon rainforest. They were feeling {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cheer) as they sailed down the great river. Eventually, they got out of the boat and walked into the darkness of the jungle. Neither of them had ever been in such an extreme situation before, using just a compass (指南针) to find the area where the kind of frog they wanted to study {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live). Suddenly, Joseph, who was holding the compass, tripped and lost it in a river. The situation seemed hopeless—how would they find the frogs now? But just {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they started to feel really sad and worried that their journey {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) a failure, they saw the frogs they had come to look for.
