Rick: Hi, Helen. What do you usually do on weekends?

Helen: Hi, Rick. Running Man is my favorite TV {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. I watch it every Saturday.

Rick: Oh, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} star do you like better, Li Chen or Wang Zulan?

Helen: Well, I think Wang Zulan is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} than Deng Chao.

Rick: Yes, they are quite {#blank#}4{#/blank#} from each other.

Helen: Shall we go to KFC after class?

Rick: That's not a good idea. Junk food is bad for our {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    A female swimming athlete once set a goal ( 目标) for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channael before she retired. If she could succeed, she would be the first person in the world {#blank#}1{#/blank#} did it. On that day ,she jumped into the sea without any hesitation(犹豫) and swam towards the opposite bank without any {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , she still carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And she didn't know that the opposite bank was only one mile away when she gave up.

    Later she was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} about the reason. And she said, "The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the place which I was going to reach  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}" It was a great pity that one mile broke her dream.

    Since we were young {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , too many success stories have been telling us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} courage and persistence. You can only have courage when you know where your goal is. You can only manage to persist when you know where your goal is.

    And that's because when you know where your goal is, you can, only prepare {#blank#}8{#/blank#} well in the mind. Courage and persistence never {#blank#}9{#/blank#} from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.

    A life without goal is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.

David: Excuse me, sir. Could you please tell me the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the Space Museum?

Man: Sorry, I'm new here,

David: Thank you all the same.

(Then David asks a woman for help.)

David: Excuse me, could you tell me {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I can get to the Space Museum?

Woman: Sure. Go {#blank#}3{#/blank#} this street. When you reach the traffic lights, turn left. At the end of the road, you'll see it.

David: It's very kind of you, By the way, is it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} from here?

Woman: No, it is very near.

David: Can I take a bus to get there?

Woman: Of course.

David: {#blank#}5{#/blank#} bus can I take?

Woman: You can take the No.17 bus.

David: Thank you.

Woman: It's my pleasure.
