Recently I failed an exam. However, after I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, "Smile! It's not so serious."

    I smiled a big smile and it{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) a little, really.

Everyone gets{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (frustrate) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a sentence in the Bible, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day." It suddenly struck me, "{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) a big smile and face up to the trouble?"

    Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (convince) that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me the courage to move on.

    Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, whenever you've been treated{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fair), all{#blank#}9{#/blank#} matters is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}it will shine on you.

    Have you ever been to London? Which famous sites did you visit? Or, if it is the first time that you{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) there, which one will you check out?

    Some world famous {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(culture) sites may already be on your list: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Tower. However, a tour of London would be incomplete{#blank#}3{#/blank#} checking out the London art scene. As a guidebook London's Secrets: Museums & Galleries put it, London's art is a lot like{#blank#}4{#/blank#} city itself — “diverse, vast, and in a constant state of changes. From old masters to street art and everything in between, London has it all.”

    In fact, according to The Telegraph, museums and galleries were the most {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(visit) attractions in Britain last year. The British Museum{#blank#}6{#/blank#} celebrated its 225th anniversary this year, had the most visitors, at 6,701,036.

    According to The Art Newspaper, the British Museum's increased {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(popular) is down to its exhibitions, particularly its Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum show ( March-September 2017 ).

    There are more than 7 million artifacts(文物) in the British Museum. Not all of them are on display, but much of the collection {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(constant) rotates(轮换), so you'll see something new with each visit. So{#blank#}9{#/blank#} you're an art lover or just looking for a fun time, you're sure{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(find) inspiration in London.

(Near the school gate, a woman driver was stopped by a traffic officer.)

Officer: Madam, do you know how fast you were going just now?

Driver：(looking at the record) Uh, well, no! I didn't think I was going that fast...

Officer：This is a 25 mph zone，Madam. You see that school over there? You {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go)35 mph.

Driver: {#blank#}2{#/blank#} today is Sunday, sir. There is no school today.

Officer: That doesn't matter, madam. There{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be)signs that say what the speed limit is. Besides, children often come to school on the weekend {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (play)sports. You see all those kids over there? What {#blank#}5{#/blank#}you hit one of them by accident?

Driver: I'm {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (terrible)sorry, officer, I won't do it again. Could you please let me off with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} warning?

Officer: I'm afraid I can't do that, madam. In school zones，I'm required to give tickets to all drivers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} break the rules. It's the law in this county.

Driver: Oh, dear! {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is this going to cost me?

Officer: I don't know, madam. Usually, these things can be taken care of for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (little)than $ 100.Now please sign here at the bottom.

Driver: OK.

    A few years ago, after a long morning of sightseeing in New York, my children and I took a rest on one of the park {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bench) in Central Park.

    "Look!" my son said, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(point) to a nearby rubbish bin. That's when we saw our first raccoon (浣熊). Quite at home in the big city, he paid us no attention, concentrating only on finding a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (taste) lunch. He sorted through a few options before coming out with a wrapped sandwich {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hold) between his paws.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (surprise), rather than run away, he jumped down and walked casually to a spot on the path, not a metre from where we sat. The children were spellbound, the raccoon providing better{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(entertain) than any museum. He glanced at us, perhaps checking to see {#blank#}7{#/blank#}we were about to steal his lunch.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}delicate fingers, he peeled back the layers of plastic wrap until the half-eaten sandwich {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (uncover).

    Then he surprised us all. Instead of starting his food, he turned to a nearby pool of water and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (dip) his paws in. With a casual air, he rubbed his paws together underwater for a moment, brushed his fur, then started gracefully picking at his meal.

    When I left for the United States to study, I had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous because I was going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} new place with new people and new customs. I couldn't even understand {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (they) language. Everything was different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my own country. There was nobody that I could talk to. I just had my husband, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was a new person for me, too.

    It was a sad moment when I had to say goodbye to my family and friends. I didn't want {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leave) my hometown because I grew up there and had wonderful {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (memory) of the place. So, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(think) about all these changes made me nervous and I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (worry) about my new life. But studying abroad was a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(decide) that I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge. I looked forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (visit) my family in the summer vacation.
