Franklin's life is full of charming {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (story) which all young men should know—how he sold books in Boston and became the guest of kings in Europe; how he was made General Franklin, only to quit and help to organize the army {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was better than the trained troops of England and Germany.

    This poor Boston boy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a day's schooling, became master of six languages and never stopped {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study). This apprentice（学徒）received degrees and diplomas from many colleges, and became forever {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (remember) as “Doctor Franklin”, philosopher, scientist and political leader.

    Self-made, self-taught, the candle maker's son {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) light to all the world; the street bookseller set all men singing of liberty; the apprentice became the most outstanding man across the world, and brought his native land to praise and honor him.

    He built America, for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} our nation is today is largely due to the management, the forethought, the wisdom, and the ability of Benjamin Franklin. He belongs to the world, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial) he belongs to America. The people around the world honored him while he was living. He is still regarded as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} loftiest man by the common people today after {#blank#}10{#/blank#} death. And he will live in people's hearts forever.

    As is known to all, a positive parent-child relationship is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (benefit) to the physical and mental{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (grow) of children, but keeping a healthy parent-child bond {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (need) the efforts of both parties.

    Parents should take the responsibility {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (improve) their relationship with the children. What matters is spending quality time with their children, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}tight their schedule is. For instance, they can eat {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (meal) together, go to sporting events together or watch their children's favorite

TV shows together, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} can contribute greatly to making their children feel safe and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(love).

    Children, on the other hand, should let their parents know they appreciate what their parents {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(do) for them. If possible, they can give their parents a gift on a special day or help with housework {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a regular basis. The healthy parent-child relationship is without conflict. But as long as parents and children make joint effort, they can settle the conflict and enjoy their time together.

    A 14-year-old Chinese boy overcame two of humankind's most dreaded fears—getting stuck in an elevator and getting homework {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) in a single night, owing to his calm-witted character.

    Sun Yixiao was on his way up on Tuesday evening after school {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the lift suddenly came to a stop. A moment of panic followed before the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(teenage) could find a way out.

    Sun said he tried to open the elevator door, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(press) all the buttons in the hope to get the elevator to work again, but it didn't work.

    Without a cell phone at hand, Sun tried yelling to get attention of people outside, but no one responded as time passed by. He slipped a note through the door {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the message "people stuck inside, please ask the property management for help," and hoped someone {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(pick) it up and act on it.

    After exhausting all his options without knowing how long {#blank#}7{#/blank#}would take before someone found him, he took out his textbooks and started to do his homework {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient).

    Soon after he finished his duties, Sun heard loud {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(voice) outside. A large crowd including his teachers and other parents had come to the rescue, by which time he {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(trap) in the elevator for over five hours.

    Newton made important contributions to every area of the scientific and mathematical concept to his generation. Born in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} rural English village on Christmas Day, 1642, he was so small that no one thought he would survive. During his childhood he spent much of his time inventing and building toys, and did not do particularly {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good) at school. So his mother, who was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (will) to pay for his education, brought him home to look after the sheep. However, he was always so busy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (build) small devices that the sheep would often escape. Eventually his uncle persuaded his mother {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (send) him to the University of Cambridge, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he became so absorbed in his studies that he often forgot to eat or sleep.

    When Cambridge was closed for two years due to the plague(鼠疫), Newton went home to work on his studies. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bury) himself in mathematics and began developing a mathematical theory that would later become calculus(微积分). It is a popular belief {#blank#}8{#/blank#} on one occasion he was sitting under an apple tree {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an apple fell on his head, which helped him to understand the laws of gravity. It is now thought that perhaps he invented this story in later field to explain how he drew his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (inspire) from everyday events. 

Marty is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(able) but a fairly positive person who never feels {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(annoy) for himself. In other words, he has learned to adapt to his disability. Marty always tries hard to live {#blank#}3{#/blank#}good life. He is realistic{#blank#}4{#/blank#} his disability {#blank#}5{#/blank#}he never stops doing as much as he can. He keeps {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(he) busy doing things like{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(write) and computer programming that do not require{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (physics) strength.

He has friends with whom he has access to going to movies and football matches and he has lots of pets. He also studies hard and never has absence from school. He is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mental) strong {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (depend) boy. All in all, he is able to live as rich and full a life as everyone else.
