Old English differs much from the English we use today. Middle English is the name given to the English used from around the 12^th {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the 15^th centuries. Many things played a part in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (develop) of this new type of English. The most important contribution was from the Normans, a French-speaking people who  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (defeat) England and took control of the country in 1066. However, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angels and the Saxons'victory about 600 years earlier, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} led to old English replacing Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the entire 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English as the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (one) language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (many) words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). Modern English appeared during the Renaissance in the 16th century.  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (pronounce) also went through huge changes during this period. Of course, this was not the end of the changes in the English language. The question of whether English will keep on changing in the future is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (easily) to answer. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is certain that this process will continue, and people will keep {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (invent) new words and new ways of saying things.

    How do learning habits influence learning results? It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits. There is a famous {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) “Good habits lead to good endings”, which shows the importance of habits.

     “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Also {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (show) a healthy everyday habit helps to build up our body. Thus, good learning habits can help us gain great learning results, high scores and abundant knowledge {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (include). At first，learning habits form our ways of thinking and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(attitude) to the content of our learning.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( obvious)，a good habit can help us to speed up to reach our destinations. As we can see，developing a good habit is so important {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I would like to introduce one kind of good learning habits — keep a learning diary every day. We can start the habit by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) a learning summary and remember to record something {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (impress) and meaningful. Keep it in mind, and we can gain this good learning habit and benefit from it.

    What's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（much），I find out that I still have some bad learning habits {#blank#}10{#/blank#} well. I can only concentrate on reading for a short time and I will conquer this problem by spending more effort on concentration practice in future.

I believe that through my efforts，I can gain good learning results by having good habits.

    We use flowers as messengers, to say something we might have trouble saying{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (direct) ourselves. Over time flowers have come to symbolize the most powerful human experiences: beauty, love, hope, and rebirth. Sweet flowers alone can say{#blank#}2{#/blank#} one fears expressing. We've listed some of the most famous flowers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} have a special significance.

    In Mao Zedong's poem Ode to Plum Blossom (《咏梅》), the plum blossom was used{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (praise) great soldiers who sacrificed their lives for a better life for Chinese people.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} great Chinese poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty once compared Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face to blooming peonies(牡丹). Flowering in May, peonies' large petals and strong colors are linked to prosperity(成功) and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (rich) in traditional Chinese culture. The orchid (兰花) is well known for its delicate smell. Beautiful articles and poems{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(call) “lanzhang” by Chinese people in ancient times. Roses, of course, have the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(colorful) meaning among all the flowers. Red roses mean “I love you.” A red rose, rather than yellow roses,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (act) as the traditional romantic gift given to your love on Valentine's Day.

    He is the man who for many people has been a role model. Now your biggest hero deserves a special day when you can express your thanks and let him know {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  important he is to you.

    The third Sunday of June - which  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fall) on June 19 this year - is Father's Day.

    The idea of Father's Day came from an American woman {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909. Dodd wanted a special day {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (honor)her father. He raised six children by {#blank#}5{#/blank#} after his wife died. Dodd thought there needed to be{#blank#}6{#/blank#} day to honor loving dads.

    The first Father's Day {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (celebrate) on June 19, 1910. In 1924, US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  (nation) Father's Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father's Day.

    Here are some ways to show your love and respect:

    A small present, such as a framed photo of your family, can make him feel like a king.

    Have you ever wondered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}children always seem to have bags of energy and never run out of steam? Researchers have discovered that children have the levels of recovery of endurance athletes. In fact, scientists say children's muscles recover from "high-intensity exercise" a lot{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick) than athletes. A study looked at the performance levels of children when they were cycling, and compared their fitness to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of athletes. Researcher Dr Sebastien Ratel suggested they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (find) the children used more of their aerobic metabolism and were therefore less tired during the high-intensity physical activities. The children also recovered very quickly-even faster than the well-trained adult endurance athletes.

    The researchers hope that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they) findings will help scientists have a better{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand) how the human body changes with age. It could lead to advances in the fight {#blank#}7{#/blank#} diabetes and other diseases. Dr Ratel said the research was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(particular) important as more children were become less active. He warned: "With the diseases related to physical inactivity{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(rise), know the changes with growth that might contribute to the risk of disease. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is helpful for children to maintain their fitness as they grow up and play as much as they could so they remain healthy as adults.
