I've dreamed of becoming a writer since I was a teenager. But {#blank#}1{#/blank#}isn't easy to get a book of mine published.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I've tried hard, none of my books have been published. This is really {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(upset).

    This morning, I received a call from a publisher and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tell) once again that there was no way my book would be published.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( feel ) sad, I left home and went to the park near my apartment. At the park, I sat down on the bench near the grass.

    While I was sitting there, I saw a little boy about one and a half years old. He was running on the grass,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} his mother not far behind him. He looked so happy when he enjoyed the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(free) of running on the grass. He then fell on the grass, but he quickly got up and continued {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(run) as fast as he could again even without looking back at his mother. He was still running with a smile on his face, as if nothing {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(happen).

    Seeing that, I was truly inspired. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sudden) realized that I shouldn't get discouraged after experiencing failure. Instead, I should cheer up and keep on trying.

    Born into {#blank#}1{#/blank#} poor family in Gaomi, Shandong Province on February 17, 1955, Mo Yan,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}original name is Guan Moye, threw himself into reading and calligraphy{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(enthusiastic) in his early years. Not only did he have a strong sense of humor,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he was intelligent and patient. With his attention {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (fix) on literature, Mo Yan went on further education and received a Master's Degree in arts from Beijing University five years later after graduating from the PLA Academy of Arts in 1986. What happened next was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}he won China's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (high) literary prize — Mao Dun Literature Prize by his book Frog in 2011. To all Chinese's{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(amaze), he became the first Chinese writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012, which will certainly make great contributions to development of Chinese literature. Since then, he {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(consider) as the best Chinese writer in modern China. Although he is famous, he is still as common as an old shoe and he doesn't keep his readers{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a distance.

    My program is a course in automotive repair. We teach people from the age of 16 through adults. We're {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (locate)on a high school campus. It's vocational,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} means that we train people specific skills that they could use in a job.

    I like classes like this {#blank#}3{#/blank#}it's {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(much)of the real world than it is sitting there reading a textbook, not {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(know)what you are going to be using it for.

    Today's a work day, so {#blank#}6{#/blank#}I go back into the shop, I have all of my students {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work)on a project. First, Jack is going to get the air tools out and jack up a car, he's going to take a tyre off that car, with the air impact. Every student that comes onto my program is an individual. All of them think that they're going to be able to fix their own car. They all have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}as a goal that they are going to get out of the program.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} then, as part of my introduction to the class I'll let them know some of the other things that they'll all get,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} include：consumer understanding of how the car works.

    On the first day of school our professor{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(introduce) Rose,a little old lady,to us."Why are you in college at such{#blank#}2{#/blank#}old age?"I asked later.She jokingly replied,"I'm here to meet a rich husband,get{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(marry),have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."

    At the end of the first term we invited Rose{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) a speech to our football team.She cleared her throat and began,"We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you lose your dreams, you will die.There is a huge difference{#blank#}6{#/blank#}growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they've done,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}rather for things they haven't done.The only people{#blank#}8{#/blank#}fear death are those with regrets."

    At the end of that year Rose finished the college degree.One week after graduation Rose died{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(peace) in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral（葬礼）to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's{#blank#}10{#/blank#}too late to be all you can possibly be.

    The Mid-Autumn festival is a harvest festival {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (celebrate) on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It celebrates three fundamental concepts, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are closely tied to one another: gathering, such as family and friends {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) together, or harvesting crops for the festival; Thanksgiving, to give thanks for the harvest, or for harmonious unions; praying {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sincere) for beauty, longevity, babies, marriage {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (partner) or for a good future.

    Traditions and myths surrounding the festival {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (form) around these three concepts, although traditions have changed over time due to significant changes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} technology, science, economy, culture and religion. It's about well-being together.

    The festival was a time when people enjoyed the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success) reaping（收获）of rice and wheat with food offerings made in honor of the moon. Today, people still mark {#blank#}9{#/blank#}occasion with similar activities. They have outdoor reunions among friends and relatives to eat mooncakes and watch the moon, a symbol of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (harmonious) and unity.

    Ecotourism is a new term in today's tourism industry. Ecotourism, which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (typical) defined (定义) as travel to places {#blank#}2{#/blank#} special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages (遗产) are the main {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (attract). It takes ecology and culture into consideration. Therefore, programs {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (concern) the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism.

    Ecotourism is developing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} great speed. According to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism in recent years {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(enjoy) an annual growth of about 5% worldwide. More than 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.

    Big cities are still the major places that attract tourists in our society today. However, it seems some {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (small) towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (visit) tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (history) resources.
