    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (normal), only buildings and other architectural sites get the award. It is the first time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a section of street became part of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (Britain) National Heritage. The crossing is near the Abbey Road studios {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the Beatles made most of their records. Today it can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(see) around the world on a special webcam(网络摄像头). The studio building {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it)became listed by British Heritage last February. The photographer of the picture said he only had 10 minutes {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(take) it. It became one of the most famous album covers of all times. The Abbey Road  album was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}last one the Beatles completed before they broke up.

    One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some of them looked {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(catch) my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he refused {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up to the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, “{#blank#}8{#/blank#} anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted. “Oh dear! It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(I).” She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully. Everyone on the bus began talking about what the boy had done, and the crowed of strangers {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sudden) became friendly to one another.

    Tony and I are good friends. We tried to walk across the United States of America. We're not exactly sure{#blank#}1{#/blank#} we were doing it. Part of it was to test ourselves; to see if we could face the challenges. When I was{#blank#}2{#/blank#} teenager I often daydreamed that I was going to walk across the United States{#blank#}3{#/blank#} I graduated from high school.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} , I didn't do that. Before I knew it I was in my thirties, married,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} （have） a job, yet still had this idea in my mind with each{#blank#}6{#/blank#} （pass） year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity had passed. Then, a few years ago, I met Tony,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} was in his thirties and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. He wasn't doing it for a cause{#blank#}8{#/blank#} as part of an organization. He was doing it{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（simple） because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20miles a day and taking some days off to rest, so we expected the walk to take about 6months realizing it could take{#blank#}10{#/blank#} （long）. We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100miles.

    All our dreams have something to do{#blank#}1{#/blank#}our feelings, tears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the “outside” may affect{#blank#}2{#/blank#}we dream. If a person is hungry or tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the blanket on your body has slipped off your bed, you may dream that you{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(sleep) or resting on the ice or snow. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something{#blank#}4{#/blank#}has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, etc.) and it may also use your past{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(experience) and the wishes and interests you have now.

    There are some scientists who have made {#blank#}6{#/blank#}special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(explain) of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, and it offers an interesting way of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(deal) with the problem. They believe that dreams are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(most) expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(carry) out.

    The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fall) on Mar 6 and ends on Mar 20 this year.

Awakening of Insects signals a rise in temperature and increased rain fall. As the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (three) solar term in the lunar year, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it) name suggests the fact that animals sleeping in winter are awakened {#blank#}4{#/blank#} spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (activity). It is also a good time for people to enjoy fun outdoors, especially for people living in the city. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drive) to the suburbs, fishing in a lake or enjoying the singing bird will make for a perfect weekend in spring. The most popular fruit in this season is pears.

    Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a widely-practiced custom in China. As the weather gets {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (warm) and the air becomes drier, people tend to feel their mouths and tongues are dry, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can cause colds or coughs. A pear is sweet, juicy and cold, moistening (湿润) the lungs to arrest a cough. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, pears are highly recommended during the Awakening of Insects.

    Teaching as a volunteer teacher is quite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} experience for Zhang Tian. He became a volunteer teacher in a village school in Guizhou Province,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(inspire) by the idea of living independently away from home.

    However, not everything lived up to Zhang Tian's hopes. The school, with only three classrooms, was much{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(small) than he had expected. Living in the village was also tougher than he had thought. It took him a long time to adjust{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the life there. The thought of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave)once flashed through his mind, but he quickly gave it up and found ways to deal with the challenges.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(make)school life more colorful for his students  Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the school. Tough as it is, he has enjoyed working with the children. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} makes him most satisfied is that his students are able to read, speak and write in English and they can learn the language{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(confident).

    Besides teaching, Zhang Tian also contacted charity organizations for help and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (teach)the villagers how to sell local products online. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(contribute) he has made to the village is so great that the villagers treat him as one of them.
