One Sunday morning in August I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(go) to the local music festival. I left it early because I had an appointment {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(late) that day. My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me until the bus arrived.

    I got on the bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(sit) at the front. He was pretending that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice. He must be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(mental) disabled. Behind him were other people to whom he was trying to talk, but after some minutes, he walked away and sat near me, looking {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(annoy).

    I didn't want to be laughed at for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(talk) to him but I didn't like leaving him on his own {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

    After a while I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man and introduced{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (I).

    We had {#blank#}9{#/blank#}amazing conversation. He got off the bus before me and I felt very happy the rest of the way home.

    I'm glad I made a choice. It made {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of us feel good.

    The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (popular) in the international world of high fashion. The name "cheongsam", {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(mean) simply "long dress", entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province. In other {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(part) of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.

    After the early Manchu (满族) rulers came to China, the Manchu women normally wore a one-piece dress which came to be called "qipao". {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the rule of the Qing Dynasty was ended in 1911, the female dress survived the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(politics) change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.

    The cheongsam, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}neck is high, collar closed, fits well the female Chinese figure, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending {#blank#}7{#/blank#}seasons or tastes. In addition, it is not too difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make). Nor does it need too much material. Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, they can {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wear) either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(create) an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness.

    Today I will share a true story about an overseas student {#blank#}1{#/blank#} studied in Germany.

    After years of hard work, this student graduated with {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(amaze) achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} interview! The third time he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (refuse), he couldn't help {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(telephone) the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. "We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany."

    You might wonder what was wrong. The truth is, shortly after he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (arrive) in Germany, this clever student found that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (time).

    From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits(好处)in dishonest ways, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember that {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(honest) is the rule.

    Peru is a country in South America {#blank#}1{#/blank#}three main areas and it used to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (control) by Spain for more than 200 years. It is for this reason {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Spanish is the main official language of Peru.

    Thousands of people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(attract) to Peru every year by its beautiful {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sight), such as the unique plants and animals to the Amazon rainforest, the buildings in Machu Picchu, and so on. People also love to experience the local Indian culture at Cusco while visiting the museums and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (enjoy) the excellent local food.

    Lake Titicaca is one of the most famous tourist {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (destination) in Peru. People can enjoy the beautiful countryside by driving along the new highway {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(connect) Cusco to Lake Titicaca.

    All in all, people can experience everything in Peru, from the ancient Inca culture to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (deeply) rainforests. No wonder so many people take package tours around Peru every year. Will you come if you have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} chance to visit this wonderful country? I'll do.
