Once there lived a rich man {#blank#}1{#/blank#} wanted to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out whether they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (actual) deserved his help.

    In the centre of the main road into the town , he placed{#blank#}3{#/blank#} very large stone. Then he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

    “Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not attempt {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (remove) the stone. {#blank#}6{#/blank#},with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone but nobody tried to remove it. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (say) to himself; “The night {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be)very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

    The he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (strong)to move it. To his amazement, he found a bag of money under the stone.

    A reporter from Jiangsu Province went to Australia and some other countries with his father for a 3-month trip. His father spent most of his life {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（work）in the field. The son started the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（amaze）trips with his father around the world  because the farmer father {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（get）cancer—a serious illness.

    The reporter wanted to  take his father to travel，{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（hope）that his father can  find his younger self in his last days. They travelled more than 13,000 kilometers and took over 110, 000 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（picture）on their trips to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（difference）countries. Well，a miracle(奇迹) happened  during the “rebirth” trips. To their surprise，{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（he）father got better from illness and became more openhearted.

    He even taught himself to play {#blank#}8{#/blank#} violin，and then {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（gradual） he played it very  well，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}encouraged him a lot. Now he is expecting another trip to Africa. He is the most stylish dad ever.

    Time carves(雕刻) his face but youth flows in his blood. This is the real style.

    I am a new student of Senior High. I am interested {#blank#}1{#/blank#} our school life. Let me tell you something about it.

    Every morning I go to school at 7:00. The first class {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (begin) at 8 o'clock. We now have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (many) subjects than in junior school, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we are not boring. You know why? That's because we have so many good {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (teacher) now. Our English teacher is always {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (enthusiasm) and we are very excited to work with her. Sometimes, we have misunderstanding between us. For example, once we {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tell) to guess the meaning of each word, and so we thought {#blank#}8{#/blank#} not necessary to remember these words. But now we try {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (keep) more words in mind.

    Our after-school activities are also colorful. Among so many activities, I like playing basketball very much with my classmates {#blank#}10{#/blank#}Wednesday afternoons. I believe my senior life must be enjoyable.

    Once upon a time, there was a small town. There {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) a man by himself who couldn't see. He was blind. Yet, he carried a lighted lamp with him whenever he went out at night.

    One night as he was coming home after having a dinner outside, he came across a group of young {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (travel). They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted lamp. They started passing comments on him and made fun {#blank#}3{#/blank#} him. One of them asked him, "Hey Man! You are blind and can't see anything! Why do you carry the lamp?" The blind man replied, "Yes, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(unfortunate), I am blind and I can't see anything {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a lighted lamp which I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (carry) is for the people like you who can see. You may not see the blind man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (come) and end up pushing me. That is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I carry a lighted lamp". The group of travelers felt ashamed and apologized for their{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(behave). We should think before judging others. Always be polite and learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see) things from others point of view.

    A film, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (release) in Chinese cinemas next month, tells the story of a former British secret agent named Johnny English, who has now retired to be a middle school history teacher. However, after a series of cyber attacks on the UK government, all the active secret agents {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (expose), which leaves the mission of catching the bad guys {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Johnny English.

    But {#blank#}4{#/blank#} films such as Mission Impossible and Kingsman (《王牌特工》), in which agents are all masters of high-tech tools, Johnny English is an old-fashioned hero, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (suspect) of modern technology and not even willing to use a smartphone. That puts him in various dangerous situations.

    This wouldn't come as a surprise if you know that Johnny English {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (play) by Rowan Atkinson, who is best known {#blank#}7{#/blank#} playing his character Mr. Bean.

    Johnny English and Mr. Bean do have a lot {#blank#}8{#/blank#} common. As Atkinson once told the Guardian in an interview, "The essence of Mr. Bean is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he's self-centered and doesn't actually acknowledge the outside world. He's a child in a man's body."

    And this is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (probable) why people all around the world can relate to Atkinson's humor. They want to be just as self-centered as his characters. And they don't want to care what the outside world thinks of them. They want to be different.
