Why is setting goals so {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（importance）? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you want in life. Instead {#blank#}3{#/blank#} always letting life happen to you accidentally, goals allow yourself{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) your life happen in control. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (success) and happy people have set lots of goals to help them reach their aims. By {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (set) goals you can take control of your life. It's like having a map to show you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you want to go.

    Winners in life always set goals and then follow{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (goal) are not difficult to set, and they are also not difficult to reach. It is up to you to find out what your goals really are. It is you {#blank#}10{#/blank#} decide what to do and in what direction to aim your life.

    Xiao Li and John Martin became friends while{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(study)at university,It's been six years{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they last saw each other.And this is the first time John Martin{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(visit)Xia Li's hometown Xia Men,one of the most {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(attract)cities on the coast,It's so lively and everyone seems so friendly.Xiao Li feels very fortunate{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(live) here.The climate is pretty hot and wet in the summer,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}it can be quite cold in the winter.Every year many tourists come to Xiamen{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(spend)their holidays,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial)in the summer.A lot of high-rise buildings have put{#blank#}9{#/blank#}in the business district.And there are some shopping malls.With some really pretty parks,the western district is the most interesting part of the city.Gulangyu is just {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the water,a gorgeous island with some really interesting architecture.

    I once found that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble.

    I was in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (nine) grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (sit) next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. Finally I found that she was trying to ask me {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I had an extra pen. She showed me that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (her) was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I put it on her desk.

    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ask) me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about how important it was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stand) on my own two {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (foot) and be responsible for my own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact {#blank#}8{#/blank#}when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (serious) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me {#blank#}10{#/blank#}all those things.

    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test.

    On May 9, James Givens was sitting in the car when he{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hear) what sounded like a knock. He turned around only{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(find) a goose pecking (啄) at the car door. This was highly unusual given that the birds normally preferred to observe humans from a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(distant).

But on this day, the goose appeared to be determined to get his attention and didn't stop pecking{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Givens opened the car door and stepped out .Though the bird then began to walk away,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}kept turning around to make sure he was following. When they finally stopped, Givens realized{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the mother goose did so— she needed help to free her baby goose that had got{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(trap) in some balloon string.

    Worried that the mother goose would attack him if he got close{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the baby, Givens called the local SPCA chapter. Unfortunately, they were{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(able) to help right away. Concerned that the baby goose would not survive the delay, Givens decided to take on the task himself.

    The mother goose watched{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(patient) as Givens saved the little bird. As soon as the little goose was free, it ran to its mom. Givens said this was the most unforgettable incident in his life!

    For those who love travel, particularly rail travel, China in 1987 was a can't﹣miss kind of place.  In1987, China was still operating steam trains on some rail routes,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}made people from many countries amazed. Bruce Connolly, a photographer from Scotland,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（be） one of them.

    Connolly first came to China in 1987,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（start） his continuous travelling throughout China. Since then, he{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（travel） to most parts of China except Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Wherever he went, his camera remained by his side. During his journeys in China, Connolly found China very different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}he saw in photographs, which showed Chinese people very religious in the way they dressed and behaved.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, what he saw was that people were{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（friend）, welcoming and wore bright clothes. In the early years of his journey, most Chinese people were fascinated with foreigners visiting China, but now that has changed in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, foreigners are no longer{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（curious）.

    Another dramatic change that Connolly has felt in China is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. widespread use of new technology. China has become one of the most tech﹣savvy（懂技术的）societies. People now do everything with{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（they） smartphones, and use of cash is almost disappearing.

The bicycle is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} most popular means of transport in China. People ride it for various {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (purpose) such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (buy) in China.

There are many advantages of riding a bicycle. Firstly, compared with cars {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are powered by gas, bicycles can do good to{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (save) energy and reducing the air pollution. Taking up less space, a bicycle can also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lighten) the traffic jams. Most importantly, people can keep {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (health) by riding a bicycle regularly.

{#blank#}8{#/blank#} my view, the future of the bicycle will be bright{#blank#}9{#/blank#} some city governments have built special paths for bicycle riders and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (provide)"public bicycles" to travel round the city center free of charge. Bicycles will be popular again in China.
