Sam was a greedy and selfish man.He never hesitated to cheat others to earn money.The selfish man{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(actual) wanted to own everything in the world.One day,he lost a small bag{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(contain) 50 gold coins.He searched{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the bag day and night.He also sent his workers in search but none could find it.

    After a couple of days{#blank#}4{#/blank#}ten year old girl told her father that she found a small bag with 50 gold coins.The family was rather poor but the honest man decided to give the bag to its owner.He gave it back to Sam and asked him to check{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the bag had 50 gold coins.Sam,who was only happy to get the coins,decided to play a trick.He shouted,“There were 75 gold coins in this bag and you gave me only 50!Where are the other coins?You{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(steal) them!"The poor man was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(shock) to hear this and they finally took the issue to court to get the right judgment.

    When I was in the middle school, I founded a student club{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) "green planet" inspired by Chai Jing's documentary Under the Dome. At first people knew this club. As a result, we had only 15 members. And I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (laugh) at for being crazy. However, I didn't lose heart and I insisted. Every day, we club y members broadcast weather reports and PM 2.5 levels. We then published articles and pictures of the serious {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pollute) of the city on the school website. Meanwhile, my club also shares suggestions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} how to live a low carbon life on the school board, for example: take public transportation or car pool to school; do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) shopping and so on.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} time went by, more are what students showed great interest in our club. And luckily, I persuaded my headmaster to join us. After what seemed ages of waiting, the club was finally accepted by the majority of students in my school. An increasing number of students supported {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ours).

    Since then, we're worked together {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (promote) our club. And up to now, 85% of the students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (join) us and enjoyed the simple but eco-friendly life.

Such is Joy, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} responsible and persistent girl.

Brown: When are you the happiest?

Angelia: I think I'm the happiest when I'm singing. I love singing so much. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I sing I feel free. How about you?

Brown: I'm the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (happy) when I play basketball. When I'm playing basketball I'm not thinking about anything. When I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (play) basketball, everything is simple. What else do you love?

Angelia: I love my family, especially my grandmother who is so kind and always wants to help others. When I'm {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (worry) she always tells me stories to make me laugh.

Brown: Yes, I also love my family very much. My parents make every {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to make me happy. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I will always love them and take care of them.

Angelia: What do you hate?

Brown: I hate wars and fighting. In history we learn about many wars, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} make me angry. I think people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} be kind to each other and not fight with each other. What about you?

    Kiwis are endangered little birds native to New Zealand. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (believe) that these small birds exist as a result of New Zealand's isolation (隔离)from the other parts of the world, forcing animals there {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (adapt)and evolve (进化)so as to be able to survive and reproduce. The evolution is what has led to the present{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(appear) of the kiwi bird.

    Kiwis are a national symbol of New Zealand, with the name kiwi {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) associated with many things in New Zealand including their famous rugby national team.

    Kiwis have excellent memories and can remember something that {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(happen) as long as five years back. Even though they have feathers, their feathers look and feel {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (much) like hair rather than feathers.

    This enables them to be able to hide in a bush and go {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (complete) unnoticed by their natural enemies.

    Unlike most birds, the kiwi bird has a great sense of smell {#blank#}8{#/blank#} enables them to sniff out prey (猎物)hidden in bushes and underground.

    The smallest kiwi bird has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} height of 45 centimeters and wight of 2 kilograms while the largest kiwi can grow{#blank#}10{#/blank#} 50 centimeters tall and can weigh 3.5 kilograms.

    I never believed in lucky coins. But one day as I was mowing the lawn (修剪草坪), I noticed a shiny object some five yards away. I stopped the machine to go and see {#blank#}1{#/blank#} had caught my eye. Just as I bent over to pick up the object, the machine exploded behind me. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stand) there, frightened but unhurt. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (save) by the shiny object—a coin. I now believe in lucky coins and stop to pick them up whenever I see them.

Testerld Nora Langdon spent many days a week at the Royal Oak Gym, training for lifting contests. She has become a(n) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (outstand) idol to people of all ages.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the age of 65, Langdon was determined to live {#blank#}3{#/blank#} healthier lifestyle. In 2007, she weighed over 210 pounds and often struggled to catch her breath while {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) up the stairs. She knew she had to change.

"On the first day I started going to the gym, I went home that night and told {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (I) I'd never go back again {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it was too much for me," Langdon told Good Morning America. "Then I heard a voice telling me to go back. So I went back and here I'm today."

After watching her trainer {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was preparing for a powerlifting meet, she attended his competitions and decided to try it herself. She {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (begin) with the basics. It wasn't long {#blank#}9{#/blank#} she discovered lifting was her passion.

Langdon has set 19 world {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (record) and quickly became one of Michigan's best in her age range. Although Langdon has achieved a lot, she shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
