Alice: Mr. Black, this is Alice {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (speak). I'm calling to ask you if I can take the afternoon off today.

Black: Well, of course. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can you tell me what the problem is, Alice?

Alice: OK, Mr. Black. My son is going to take part in a singing competition {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hold)  in Washington tomorrow. He's got so many things to take {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he can't go there alone.

Black: So you want to take {#blank#}5{#/blank#} there in your minibus?

Alice: Yes. And as soon as I put him up in the hotel, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drive) back.

Black: Well, that would be a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tire) journey. It's nearly 300 kilometers away and it will take you at least six hours {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (travel) to and from Washington. Why don't you stay there until you  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (see) your son perform?

Alice: But I have two {#blank#}10{#/blank#} tomorrow morning.

Black: Don't worry. I'll tell Mary to take your classes instead. She's always willing to help.

Alice: That'll be nice. Thank you and give my thanks to Mary.

Black: You,re welcome.

    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.

    I have a degree in business. However, it was my father's decision for me to pursue a business major. Nevertheless, even if my college {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (experience) were fantastic, I still had no interest in any field of commerce, let alone having a long-term career {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a businesswoman.

    After I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (graduate), I worked as a marketing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (plan) at a computer company. My pay and working environment were great; however, I still didn't feel happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (do) something I wasn't interested in. After two months of working there, I made up my mind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (quit) and decided to do {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I love, namely teaching English. I have now been an English teacher for over twenty years. I love my job and love being with my students.

    If you are in a place {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you don't love what you are learning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really passionate for, and what you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) want for your life. Don't rush to get yourself a quick answer. Take some time to think about what career could make you happy. The important thing is that you are happy and then you will be able to bring happiness to people around you. There is a quote that says, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success." If you love what you are doing, you will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (success).

    Since 1949 when the People's Republic of China {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(establish), and especially since 1978, China's transformation from a traditional {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（agriculture）society to a modern industrial society has been greatly accelarated by a rapid industrial restructuring. China's industrial structure developed according to the objective of industrialization, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} aimed at the proportion(比例)of agriculture declining ceaselessly, and the proportion of the industrial and service sector increasing continually. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(current), the industrial goods produced in China all range from capital goods to consumption goods.

    China's factory outputs extend from textiles (纺织业) to railway, planes and computers. China is the largest producer of inexpensive cotton textiles in the world and exports large {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(quantity) of textiles and clothes. Food processing is very important, and much farm produce is exported. Other industrial products {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(include)television sets, bicycles, cars, trucks and washing machines are expanding in the world.

    China has become {#blank#}7{#/blank#} industrialized country to some extent. The auto and the housing industry, in the process of industrialization have developed by leaps and bounds. The most important export products are machinery and electric equipment,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the most important import products are raw materials. In recent years, China's industry{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(compete) internationally, and as a result, the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(develop)of the country's industry is increasingly influenced by international economic environments.

Undoubtedly thangka is the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(good) one of means of ensuring civilian education for nomadic people.
