Each summer in the late 1960s，my two sisters and I would take the bus from Arizona to Arkansas to stay with our father.A World War Ⅱ soldier，Dad had many medical problems，any one of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  could cause many people to lose more than their sense of humor，but not him.

    I have memories of Dad waking us{#blank#}2{#/blank#}  in the morning.He had lost his legs in the war，so it was the wheelchair that kept him {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (move) around.Holding his cane，which was his{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (extend) arm，he would roll through the house{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (shout)，“Up，up，up! Get up and face the day! It's a beautiful day！” If we didn't get up right away，he would hit the end of our beds with his cane.

Once when we {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) in a store，he found the three of us in the makeup department.When he was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tell) that we wanted to buy some makeup，he picked up a bottle and started reading the label out loud.“‘Leaves your skin soft and silky from head to toe.' Well，that leaves half of me out，” he said，laughing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (delight)．We had to laugh，too.He had a talent for {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (find) humor in everything he did.

    Our father has been gone for a long time now，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  we still remember the lesson that he taught us：You are only as disabled as you let yourself be.

    People nowadays can hardly imagine what Jewish people went through during World War Ⅱ. It was just because they were Jewish{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Anne and her family had to hide away, or they would be{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(catch) by the German Nazis.

    Anne hadn't been able to be outdoors for{#blank#}3{#/blank#}long a time that she had grown crazy{#blank#}4{#/blank#}everything to do with nature.

    For example, when it was warm, she stayed{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wake)on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a look at the moon for once by{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(her). But as the moon gave far too much light, she didn't dare open a window. And another time, she happened{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) upstairs one evening when the window was open. She didn't go downstairs{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the window had to be shut. The dark,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (rain) evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held her entirely in their power. It was the first time in a year and a half that she{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(see) the night face to face.

    Texting while crossing the street will soon{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ban)in Honolulu, Hawaii. From October {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, you could be fined if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major U. S. city that passed a law,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}says, "No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device."

    The law {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(include) all electronic devices with screens: cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers. The law does permit {#blank#}5{#/blank#}exception. Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(officer).

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hope), it will lower the number of people hit and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(kill) by cars in the city. Pedestrian deaths in America have been increasing as the use of cell phones rises. Honolulu has {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(many) pedestrians hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in America. The number of pedestrian deaths in 2017{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rise) to 6,000, 11% higher than in 2016.

    The Hong Kong –Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (long) cross-sea bridge, enters the history of human engineering and connection as a point of pride upon {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (it) opening to traffic at 9 a. m. on Oct. 24, 2018.

    One day after the opening was announced at a ceremony {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hold) in Zhuhai, the bridge's ports in three different administrative regions started serving travelers around the clock, opening 24 hours a day, seven days a week. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ensure) faster boundary crossings for passengers, the Macao and Zhuhai ports jointly use a one-off immigration model, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} allows travelers to queue up only once to finish both exit and entry procedures of the two cities in about thirty {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (second).

    Apart {#blank#}7{#/blank#} private cars, taxis and goods vehicles, two types of public transportation—shuttle bus and cross-boundary coach—can also run on the HZMB. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} frequency of shuttle buses is about 5-10 minutes during peak hours. Booking tickets for the shuttle bus online in advance {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) available since 9 am on Tuesday. With the bridge now in service, the travelling time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong International Airport will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (shorten) from 4 hours to 45 minutes.

    Apart from working hard in sports, Kobe Bryant also challenges himself in other areas. Now he hopes to become famous for a completely d{#blank#}1{#/blank#} thing: writing. His book The Wizenard Series: Training Camp came out in March.

    The story is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the West Bottom Badgers, a youth basketball team. It's made up of five books, with each focused on the story of one character: Rain, Twig, Cash, Peno and Lab. All of the kids on this team come from a poor neighborhood. No one {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) faith (信心) in the kids to succeed, but things {#blank#}4{#/blank#} after a new coach joins the team.

    After r {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the book, we got to interview Bryant. He said he didn't think he was going to be an author, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that he often tells stories to his daughters. This is one of the reasons {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he wrote his own book. The book is based on parts of Bryant's real-life experience, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial) when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers.

    Bryant had two different jersey (秋衣) numbers — 8 and 24 — during his career. The number 24 m{#blank#}9{#/blank#} you need to work hard 24 hours a day to succeed.

    People Magazine noted that "Bryant is always breaking his limits both {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and off the basket court."

This is where my kids grew up

    For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is more than just a building. In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines. Every growth stage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mark) in pencils, with each child's name and the date.

    Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hard) to leave behind. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress. Friends I know have visited their previous home only {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(discover) their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about it.

    They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} work is about capturing the beautiful things in life. She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we had experienced in all those years. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(transform) them into a beautiful history of my family.

    Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me —{#blank#}10{#/blank#} life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
