In 1955, I got a train ticket to visit my relatives in Cleveland. On my return trip, I met {#blank#}1{#/blank#} handsome soldier. He asked if he could look at the train timetable {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was held in my hand and then if he could sit next to me so that we could chat. I agreed and invited him to share the lunch my aunt {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pack) for me before leaving. We talked all the way. Finally, we exchanged {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (address) and he said he would contact me.

    After a week, I still didn't receive a letter {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him and began to think he'd forgotten about me. On Saturday, the phone rang and a familiar voice asked if I would like to go out together. We ended up in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (see) On the Waterfront at the Kallet Theatre. We had a more dates during his Army leave, and then he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (send) to go overseas. For the next two years, we kept in touch with each other by letter.

    In 1957, we got married. We've been together for more than 60 years, raising three daughters who now have daughters of{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) own. Before taking my trip to Cleveland years ago, I was warned never{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (speak) to strangers on a train. I'm {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (certain) glad I didn't listen.

    According to a recent survey, violence does exist in schools. Students show their fear and parents and teachers also {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (express) their great concern about it. Experts hope {#blank#}2{#/blank#} whole society will pay more attention to the mental health of adolescents.

    Nowadays, school violence is a big issue. I think this is a phenomenon (现象), which {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) for our great concern. We should try every effort {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (prevent) school violence happening, for more and more students would drop out of school if their personal {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (safe) could not be guaranteed (保证). In fact, violence can be learned. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (actual), children learn violent behavior from adults or from {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they see on television or the Internet.

    If I meet with school violence, I will not answer violence with violence, for it will result in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (much) fights. I will tell my teachers or parents about it. I think they will help me deal with it well and protect me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the bad guys.

    All in all, we students should behave {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) and keep away from violence.

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

    The reporter wanted {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(take) his father to travel, hoping that his father can find his younger self in his last days. They {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(travel) more than 13, 000 kilometers and took over 110,000 pictures on {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) trips to different countries. Well, a miracle happened during the "rebirth" trips. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} their surprise, his father got better from illness and became more open-hearted. 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.

    A lot of films have tried to describe the afterlife and our memories of family members, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} few have done as well as Coco, Disney Pixar's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (late) masterpiece animation, which hit the big screen on Nov. 24, 2017.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inspire) by the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos — Day of the Dead — the film's production team created a young boy, Miguel, who wants his family to understand his love of music. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that year's Dia de los Muertos, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} accident takes him to the Land of the Dead. In this land, there are friendly skeletons who can cross a bridge made of flower petals to visit their living family — that is, as long as their family still puts their photos on the family shrine (神龛). Those spirits who {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (forget) by their family will disappear completely. So it's in this magical world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Miguel gets to meet and discover the truth about his great-great-grandpa.

    In an era {#blank#}8{#/blank#} young people are so {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (easy) attracted by celebrities, Coco reveals the emptiness of such flattery, teaching kids to preserve and respect the memory of their elders while {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (remind) them that the source of true creativity is so often personal.

    A father was worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So his father determined {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) on a Buddhist monk to train his boy. The Buddhist monk said {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the boy's father, "You should leave your son alone here.

    I'll make him into a real man within three months. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, you can't come to see him during this period." Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the boy and an{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience) boxer. Each time the fighter {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attack) the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time the boy was knocked down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the

    Buddhist monk asked, "{#blank#}7{#/blank#}do you think of your child?" "What a shame!" the boy's father said, "I never thought he would be so {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) knocked down. I needn't have him left here {#blank#}9{#/blank#} longer."

    "I am sorry that is all you see. Don't you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have."
