“{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (congratulate), Mr. Cooper . It's a girl.”

    Fatherhood is going to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different meaning and brings forth different responses from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud, while others worry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wonder) whether they will be a good father.

    Although there are some men {#blank#}4{#/blank#} like children and may have had much experience with them, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} do not particularly look after children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) forward to children for some time.

    Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of a father is a difficult task. Yet, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fortunate), few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this. Although numerous books have been written about mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.

    It is argued that the transition to the father's role, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the mother's role. The mother's role seems {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (require) a complete transformation in daily routine. However, the father's role is less demanding and immediate.

    What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with "normal" faces.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the movie Wonder shows us that there is no such thing as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(base) on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (畸形) and has spent most of his life being home schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with judgmental classmates and learn to accept{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) as he is.

    In the US, most kids{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) that it is OK to be different. Most people in the US celebrate being unique.

    But some kids have difficulty{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) uniqueness. It's easy to pick on someone who's different,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(especial) if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(center) theme from the movie—even the kids {#blank#}8{#/blank#}pick on Auggie have their own personal struggles.

    As Auggie's classmates get to know him better, they come to find that he's a nice kid {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude toward him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

    A critical factor "that plays a part in people's susceptibility(敏感性)to colds is age. In the past four years, the University of the Michigan School of Public Health {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do)a study, revealing some general ru1es for the public. It says that babies are most likely {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (catch)a cold. Babies will catch more than six colds during their first year {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average. Besides, boys have more colds than girls when they are under the age of three. When they grow older than three years old, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is easier for girls to catch colds than boys. Girls might catch three colds, while boys catch two {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (annual).

    Generally speaking, the incidents of colds continue to decline while people are growing older. Elderly people who are in good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (healthy)have as few as one or two colds every year. One exception is found among people in their {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (twenty), especially women, who show a rise in cold infections. This is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people in this age group have young babies to bring up. Adults who delay {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have)children until they are more than thirty experience {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same sudden increase in cold infections.

B: No, I can't. He is now {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (serious) ill in hospital.
