As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games; for, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also develop their abilities to get along with others.

      However, most children are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(face) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (let) the children themselves find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (variety) kinds of classes, learning English, playing{#blank#}6{#/blank#} piano or practicing drawing, etc. What's more, some parents put away the children's toys which are very useful in developing children's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (imagine) and practical abilities.

      Here is a piece of good advice to those parents: {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the new surroundings. That cram (填鸭式的) education can lead to nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a failure in the children's growth.

    I had just visited my best friend in hospital with my mum，{#blank#}1{#/blank#}hadn't seen my friend since she'd gone into hospital six months earlier.

    I knew where she was coming from as she was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(grave) ill, but as I'd been visiting her every week I had stopped seeing the obvious; my friend{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lose) most of her body weight and her hair was falling out, it wasn't looking good.

    After the visit I took my mum to the station{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(see) her off on her train; the mood was understandably bleak but I stayed positive as well you do, don't you? I went to get{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (we) some coffee and my mum some food for the journey. I misread the amount of my purchase and didn't have enough money.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}some reason, this was the straw that broke the camel's back; I burst into uncontrollable{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(tear) as a massive queue was gathering behind me. A woman came up to me and offered to pay, putting an arm round my shoulder, no questions{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(ask).

    I could barely say thank you through the confusion and the flood of emotion that was pumping through me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} running off in embarrassment. After composing myself I ran round the station {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(try)to find this kind lady to thank her properly but never did.

    Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(paint) some pictures on the walls of the king's palace in English. Then workers were sent for and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}big platform(平台) was made {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the platform. They worked for a whole year {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at last the pictures were ready.

    Thornhill was happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (real) beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (much) beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally, he was at the very edge of the platform, but he did not know it because he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (think) of his pictures.

    The worker saw everything. "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} should I do?" he thought. "Thornhill is at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off the platform and surely be killed." So the worker quickly took some paint and threw {#blank#}9{#/blank#} at the picture. "What are you doing?" cried the painter, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (run) quickly forward to his pictures.

    Friendship is very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(importance). Everyone{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (need) friendship. In all our lives we can't live without friendship just as we can't live{#blank#}3{#/blank#} water. Friendship{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) us get on well with one another to go ahead under different {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(kind) of difficulties in front of us. But {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (really) friendship is not easy to come by. True friendship must be sincere and be based on{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (understand) each other but not on benefits of each other. A good friend can always be a good teacher to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (we). By his advice we are persuaded {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (go) the right way. Therefore,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} more great friends we have, the better we can improve ourselves.
