Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready.

    After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reserve) six months earlier, but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tell) that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for the week after. I didn't understand {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this would happen and my credit card had already been charged {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the booking. What's worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (surprise) helpful. She {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (apology) for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on the top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren't charged extra.

    The next day, my brother and I went to the beach {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (sunburn)，but the day had been so relaxing that we didn't mind.

    Jonny: Hey! I'm just practicing Tai Chi(太极).Would you like to join me?

    Peter: I know nothing about it. Is it difficult?

    Jonny: It seems easy, but you need a lot of practice. You just follow me like this.

    Peter: OK. Don't laugh {#blank#}1{#/blank#}me. I may look funny.

    Jonny: Bend your knees slightly and reach out your arms like tree branches, naturally and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(soft). Try to keep your body straight. Move slowly , then be sure to keep your balance and don't let your body shake.

    Peter: I cannot control my body well. My legs become{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(pain)

    Jonny: Keep{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hold) your position for a while .It helps develop your strength and flexibility .Raise your leg and let {#blank#}5{#/blank#}stay in the air for seconds.

    Peter: I feel my legs shaking . I cannot do this any longer.

    Jonny: Be patient! Tai Chi{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(call)“shadow boxing" in English. It asks you to act like water: to be flexible as well{#blank#}7{#/blank#} strong. In real competition, a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back. The{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (hard) you try to beat him, the more likely you will get hit. He controls you!

    Peter: Unbelievable! Oh...,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}you don't mind, I'll stop and take a deep{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    There're so many things that{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (farmer) can benefit from. You have a better environment if you live on the farms.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(live) on a farm can give you the peace of mind you've always wanted{#blank#}3{#/blank#} at the same time let you appreciate nature more. You can have a better view{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the sky. You can have fresher foods when you are on the farm. These are just some of the many beautiful things that you can find on a farm.

    Farming{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (know) to be a physical job. It{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (require) a lot of physical work such as planting, watering, harvesting and so on. It is probably a requirement to be{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (physical) fit to be a farmer.

    Farm life is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}good) than city life. On the farms there is fresh air, while in the city there is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pollute). The city life is just so busy and noisy. If you want to have a more peaceful environment, move to{#blank#}10{#/blank#} countryside.

    Born in England in 1944, Ian Wilmut{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(know) as the leader of the research group than first cloned a female lamb {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) Dolly in 1996. Dolly became famous and pictures of her appeared on the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cover) of magazines all over the world. The {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (possible) of reproduction without a male and female being involved also made her the focus of a moral debate. For scientists, however, the cloning of dolly using the DNA of an adult cell was a breakthrough {#blank#}5{#/blank#}showed the cloning of special animals was possible.

    However,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}Wilmut think unlikely is human cloning. He says {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (undertake) the procedure with humans would require 29 surrogate（替代的）mothers and 300 eggs. Of those 29, 28 would be bound {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience) failure and suffer physically and emotionally. He says he is also concerned about the psychological and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(society) consequences a cloned might have to go through. For these reasons, he is not{#blank#}10{#/blank#} favor of it.
