Traffic is a very important part in daily life.Nearly everyone complains about being stuck in traffic so much{#blank#}1{#/blank#}people are making it possible that the future city will have no traffic at all.H.G Wells,in his book.The Sleeper Awakes,tells something about the traffic.In the streets of that future London there will be no vehicles.The city{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (provide) with moving roads.One side of the road travels{#blank#}3{#/blank#}one direction;{#blank#}4{#/blank#}other side moves the opposite way. Anyone who wants to go to another part of the city steps on the moving “way” and sits on one of the seats until he arrives.He has none of the troubles,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a private car brings with it: whether there is enough petrol,whether the tyres are all right,and where to park it.The moving way is always at his service,always moving{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(silent) along,always ready{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) him to his destination.That city of the future will have no traffic jams.

    To link up the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(vary) cities,vehicles driven by atomic power will pass along highways{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(divide) into two main groups of lanes.Each group will consist of several lanes.Some for slow traffic,some for fast.Crossroads will not exist on these highways,but will be replaced by bridges and junctions.Where these highways enter cities{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (port) and other built-up areas,they will pass through underground tunnels.

    Everybody knows that the United Kingdom consists {#blank#}1{#/blank#} four countries: English, Scotland, Wales plus Northern Ireland. However, about four hundred years ago Scotland tried to break away from English {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(influent). The Scots wanted to attack England and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(decide) that France should take the place of England {#blank#}4{#/blank#} their closest friend. England,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} was unhappy when the relationship between the two countries broke down. Queen Elizabeth I did not want to be left out of any decisions {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(do) with Scotland, so she divided the Scottish lords into several groups so that they would argue with each other instead of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(attack) England. This {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(arrange) worked well until 1603 {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Queen Elizabeth died. As King James of Scotland was her only relative, he became King of Scotland and England, and everybody was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(delight) with the solution.

    One day, a father and his son were walking with their horse. An old man saw them and said, “You{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(suppose) to ride a horse, not to walk it!” The father then put his son on the horse.

    Soon they passed a group of people,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}said, “That's a lazy boy! He gets to ride the horse while his father walks.” The father decided to take his son off and get on the horse himself.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}they kept going, they came upon two {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (passer-by). One said, “You are a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (self) man! Your son has to walk while you get to ride!” The man then reached down and put his son on the horse with him.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a while, they entered a town. Everyone started to laugh at them,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (say), “You are too heavy for that horse!” The father and his son didn't know what{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(do).

    Finally, they decided to carry the horse. When they came to a bridge, the horse{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) to the water. “If you try to please{#blank#}10{#/blank#} ,” the father told his son, “in the end, you will please no one.” Then they went home.

    Famous British physicist Stephen Hawking，{#blank#}1{#/blank#} mental genius and physical disability made him a household name and inspiration across the globe, has died at age 76.

    Propelled(推动) to superstar by his 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which became {#blank#}2{#/blank#}unlikely worldwide bestseller, Hawking devoted{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) to unlocking the secrets of the Universe. His genius and wit{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(win) over fans from far beyond the world of astrophysics, earning comparisons with Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton.

    Hawking died {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(peaceful) at his home in the British university city of Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

    “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” professor Hawking's children said in a statement{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (carry) by Britain's Press Association news agency. “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live{#blank#}7{#/blank#} for many years.”

    Hawking refused to accept the predictions that he would only live for a few years after developing a form of motor neurone disease in his early {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(twenty). The illness gradually robbed him of mobility{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave) him confined to a wheelchair, almost completely paralysed and unable to speak except through his voice synthesiser(合成器).

    “His courage and persistence with his brilliance and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (humorous) inspired people across the world,” his family said.

    In my family, there {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) three people. My father is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (farm) and goes to work in the field every day. He isn't good at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talk) but he gets on well with other people. My mother is very kind and is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (friend) to everybody. So when I have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} problem I will turn{#blank#}6{#/blank#} her for help. My friends say I am clever, because when the teacher asks {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (we) very difficult questions, I can come up with the answers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (quick). But my father thinks I am not patient. He says once I have difficulty in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) problems, I will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (easy) give up. This is what I need to improve in the future.
