    Johnny, a lizard(蜥蜴), liked sunbathing every morning. One day, he felt so {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(relax) that he didn't notice some boys coming up behind him. The boys {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(catch) Johnny, and he could only escape by losing his tail.

    After the children left, Johnny came out to look {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his tail, but found no sign of it. Feeling sad, he made a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(decide) to spend all his time looking for it. Time passed, and Johnny kept asking everyone whether {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(them) had seen his tail. One day, he asked a boy, who surprisedly replied, “Why do you need two tails?” Hearing this, Johnny turned back and saw a new, stronger tail. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(sudden) realized how silly it had been to waste so much time on such a problem.

    On his way home, he found his old tail on the roadside. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}it looked terrible, Johnny was still excited to have it back. He picked it up and was about to continue his journey when an idea hit him {#blank#}8{#/blank#}he shouldn't look at the past. He then dropped his old tail, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave) with it all his past worries. All he took with him {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) thoughts of the future.

    Mayun, founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, left his position as company chairman on Sept 10, 2018, according to an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (office) announcement.

    CEO Zhangyong would take over {#blank#}2{#/blank#} new chairman then. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) sure a smooth and successful transition(交接), Mayun would remain in his present role until Sept 10, 2019.

    Daniel Zhangyong, who will replace Mayun in 2019, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (call) an outstanding business leader by Mayun. Zhangyong has proven {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he) by leading Alibaba to realize thirteen months of  healthy and high-speed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (grow) over the past three years. He is also known as a key architect of the "Double Eleven" festival, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} has been copied by other platforms since then.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pass) the Alibaba torch(火炬) to Zhang yong and his team is the right decision at the right time," Ma yun said in a letter, "I feel {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) proud of this decision". When asked about his future plan, Ma yun said "I want to return to education because this is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I love to do".

    Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners {#blank#}2{#/blank#} come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap {#blank#}3{#/blank#} can be to eat out. I still remember {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (visit) a friend who'd lived here for five years and I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (shock) when I learnt she hadn't cooked once in all that time.

    While regularly eating out seems to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (become) common for many young people in recent years, it's not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (weigh) problems.

    If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum's home {#blank#}10{#/blank#} dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket.

    Wang: What's G. P.A.?

    Smith: G. P.A. stands {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the grade quality point average. Quality points are used {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(determine) the students' rank in class, academic honors, and academic warning, and probation or suspension.

    Wang: How can I list my overall undergraduate G. P.A. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(use)3 digits?

    Smith: I think it's difficult to change your grade {#blank#}4{#/blank#} G. P.A., as our system of grading is different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in your country. I'd like to advise you to submit your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(office) transcripts(文字稿)of all previous undergraduate and graduate work.

    Wang: That's a good idea. I took TOEFL last year, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I haven't taken the GRE. What's to be done?

    Smith: The GRE may {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(require) by the particular graduate or professional program. You should go over the Table of Program carefully. What's your TOEFL{#blank#}9{#/blank#}?

    Wang: 630.

    Smith: Wonderful. In general, the graduate division requires a TOEFL score of at least 575. Those {#blank#}10{#/blank#}TOEFL scores are in the range 500­575 are admitted conditionally upon successful completion of further coursework in English as a second language.
