When I was in Grade 7, I had no interest in history .I didn't listen {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in class and couldn't finish homework on time. So I didn't do well in this {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    In the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} term, there came a new humorous history teacher. I still had no passion for history. One day, she said,: “We'll have a test in the afternoon ”.Since I wasn't good at history, whenever I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a history examination, I had to cheat .At that noon, I made lots of cheat sheets quickly.

    In the afternoon, I entered the classroom confidently. Soon my history teacher came in, along with our geography teacher .They both wore mysterious smile on their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. When the paper was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} out finally ,all of us found it was just a piece of geography paper. I became as {#blank#}7{#/blank#} as a wooden chick at once. Just then, our teachers couldn't help {#blank#}8{#/blank#} loudly. ,which is just like a slap hitting on my face. I only got 12 points that time.

    Later, I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that day was April Fool's Day, but it wasn't interesting for me at all. It was a deep lesson for me. I learned that if I didn't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hard, I might be a real fool one day.

    Confucius is the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} teacher in Chinese history. He was born on September 28, 551BC in the Kingdom of Lu, in today's Shandong Province. When he was young, he and his mother had a hard  life. At the age of fifteen, he began to learn music, and he did{#blank#}2{#/blank#}in it. Then he went on{#blank#}3{#/blank#}other subjects. When he was thirty, he became a teacher. He started his own school. He believed everyone should have a chance to get {#blank#}4{#/blank#} whether they were rich or poor. He had about 3,000 students and many of them became{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A: What kind of book are you reading, Crystal?

B: It's about aliens.

A: Really? There's no such thing as aliens. You know that, right?

B: No, I don't know. I mean, I don't {#blank#}1{#/blank#}those stories about aliens on Earth, but there could be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} on other planets. There must be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of other planets in the universe.

A: But those planets may be very far away.

B: Well, one day we will be able to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a very fast spaceship, and we will be able to go there. Or perhaps the aliens can travel huge distance very {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A: Maybe. Can I look at the book when you've finished?
