He met her at a party. She was excellent. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. So as not to appear rude, she went along.

    As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was t{#blank#}1{#/blank#} nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

    They looked at him for a long time. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why puts{#blank#}2{#/blank#} in the coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the seaside. I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents." She was d{#blank#}3{#/blank#} touched. A man who can admit(承认) that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible. That was the start of their l{#blank#}4{#/blank#} story. They chose to date(约会). She found that he met all her requirements(要求). So they married and lived h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he liked it.

    After 40 years, he d {#blank#}7{#/blank#}and left her a letter which said: “My dearest, please forgive（原谅）my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of sugar. It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. Many times, I tried to tell you the t{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, but I was afraid that it would ruin(毁灭) everything. Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a s{#blank#}9{#/blank#} time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the r{#blank#}10{#/blank#} of my life.

    Hello, everyone! I am Bob. This is my brother. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} name is Jim. He is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 18-year –old boy. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hamburgers for lunch. I like French fries, but Jim doesn't. I don't like eggs for breakfast, but he {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I like fruit for breakfast. We like {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and salad for dinner. After dinner, we like {#blank#}6{#/blank#} basketball {#blank#}7{#/blank#} our parents. It's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Do you want {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our friend? Please email {#blank#}10{#/blank#} at 441353608@qq.com.

    Everyone has his {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（自己的）dream of the future. But do you know what the future really is? I think future is now. That is to say, we must treasure every minute and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（秒）. There is an old English {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（谚语，格言）, "Gain time, gain life." Time is something that can't be seen or  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（触摸）, but we feel it passing by. Time is always with us. We often say, "Time is money", but it is more  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（宝贵的，贵重的）than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（离开，远离）, it will never return. That's the reason why we say time is priceless.

    Grasping（把握） the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（现在）is grasping the future. We should work hard in order to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（创造）a bright future. We should make the best use of every hour and take every  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（机会）. We should do everything as {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（很好地） as possible . Never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

    We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green and healthy {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Reduce means "use less". If we stop wasting, we can not only {#blank#}5{#/blank#} money but also reduce pollution and waste. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! If {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, choose local products and try not to buy too many things from abroad when we do need something.

    Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} sure that they can last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last long and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china(瓷器) cup and lunch box because you can use them {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

   Recycle means "change things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} something else". Although it takes energy to do this, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. We can do this in many ways. For example, we can find out {#blank#}10{#/blank#} can be recycled in our neighborhood and take part in the recycling programs and we can also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper to help save trees.

    Traffic lights are very important (重要的) to us. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} everyone knows this. But how were they born? Do you know?

    Garrett A. Morgan was the father of traffic lights. He was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} American. Morgan was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in 1875. His family was very poor. He left (离开) school at the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of 14. He was very clever. He always looked for better ways to do things. And he liked to make {#blank#}5{#/blank#} things to change some old ones. At that time, each American wanted to have a car. Streets were full of (充满了) cars. The traffic was not good." {#blank#}6{#/blank#} not put three lights at each street crossing? They should be red, yellow and green," Morgan said, "Let them tell cars to go {#blank#}7{#/blank#} stop." So he made a timer (定时器) to change the lights. Now we have traffic lights {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the street.
