Jay Zhou is a student from Number 2 Middle School, who has many hobbies. He likes reading very much. In order to read more English novels, he has taken {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in different reading activities. The novels he has read add {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to at least 30. Many of the novels he has read {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (base) on real people and events. Through reading, he can not only improve his knowledge of English, but also feel life is so happy. He says that so many English novels are worth {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read) that he will never be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (concern) about whether his future life will be boring. He also likes traveling. After {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (graduate), he will travel in an English speaking country, making good use {#blank#}7{#/blank#} his English. He hopes to speak English fluently as {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he were a native speaker. Although he is devoted to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (learn) English，he hopes he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (admit) to a university where he can study science instead of arts.

    On July 12th, 2012, an airplane took off from the capital airport of Belgium. After about an hour's flight, something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( believe ) happened on the plane. The airhostess was about to serve lunch {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a small mouse stole out from the bag of a young man, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} made the young woman nearby fall in terror with loud screaming. Then more and more {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( mouse ) came out of the bag. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( catch ) by surprise, the other passengers all shouted in panic. The steward（机长）managed to get in touch with the control center on the ground. With the order from the ground, the plane {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( succeed ) landed at the nearest airport. As soon as the plane was on the ground, all the passengers got off. Then seven specialists got on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( kill ) these small creatures. Many means had been tried, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of them were good enough.

    At last they tried to fill in the plane {#blank#}9{#/blank#} carbon-dioxide, which poisoned all of the small creatures. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( report ) that the young man wanted to carry them to another city and sell them as pets but no one expected that these small creatures succeeded in escaping from the bag .

    What do you read when you travelling by train? What about other passengers? Perhaps a woman{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sit) near you is reading a romantic novel. A man is reading a serious biography about a politician. And there's a student reading an English textbook.

    What do their{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(choice) say about them? Do you judge them by{#blank#}3{#/blank#}they reading? I have to tell you that your impressions of them may be{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(complete) wrong. The woman reading the romantic novel could be a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(law). She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(consider) him knowledgeable, and he is just {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(show)off. The student reading the textbook isn't a student at all. She's an English teacher.

    Publishers know people are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (concern)about what they read on public transport and put out different versions (版本) of a cover For example, books about Harry Potter have an{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (interest)cover for young readers and then another more serious version for adults.

    So next time you see what other people are reading on a train don't jump to any conclusions.

    Here is a situation {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you could say, "Don't judge a book by its cover.”

    A good friend not only likes to hang with you and have {#blank#}1{#/blank#}good time, but thinks about you and wishes good things for you when you're apart. A good Friend may not talk to you every day or even every week, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}can come up in a matter of minutes. A good friend will come to help you, even when you haven't talked to him in weeks. Time doesn't lessen a good friend's relationship with you.

    Beth is a friend of{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (I), I can for weeks without{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (talk) to her but then drop anything in minutes because {#blank#}5{#/blank#}her. She has no problem giving me some of her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (suggest) either, Last week. I{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (buy) a pair of jeans which wasn't{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(exact) right for me. Some of my friend laugh at me. Beth would give a bees opinion, rather than leaving me hanging with my big jeans. She advised me{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wear) this mini skirt instead because it made me look pretty.

    I believe that good friends also{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) the most honest with you, instead of looking down on you, showing off themselves or ignoring you. Beth is a friend like that. I feel so lucky to have such a friend.

    Reggie was a normal boy, but he had been born deaf. He was well known to everyone in town, and they were all very fond of him. Unfortunately, he always seemed to be treated {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (different) from everyone else.

    Reggie didn't like this very much. But the person {#blank#}2{#/blank#} disliked this most was his friend Michael. Michael decided that things had to change. So he managed to persuade other people in town {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (choose) one day of the festival for deaf people this year. During that whole day everyone in town would have to wear earplugs( 耳塞). The day {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (call) The Day of Silence, and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears. As the hours passed, people began to realize {#blank#}5{#/blank#} difficult life was for the deaf. Soon no one was thinking of Reggie as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} deaf person. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) his usual gestures, Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. They were surprised at his ability to find solutions {#blank#}8{#/blank#} almost any problem. They realized all Reggie needed was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) time than others to communicate. That was the only difference.

    It was on this day {#blank#}10{#/blank#} everyone realized they have to give people a chance to show how useful they are.

    According to Chinese speaking practice, lion is a special animal to Chinese people. A pair of stone lions, a male {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a female, are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(common) seen in front of the gates of traditional building.

    The lion {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(regard) as the king in the animal world, so {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(it) images represent power and prestige. The stone lions are also used to indicate the ranks of officials.

    It is interesting to note that China had no lions originally. The earliest stone lions were sculpted {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty from A. D. 25 to 220 with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} introduction of Buddhism(佛教) into ancient China. In the Buddhist faith, the lion, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} can protect the truth and keep off evils, is considered a divine animal of nobleness and dignity. In Chinese folk tales, the lion has become a symbol of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brave), power and good luck.

    It was also popular to decorate bridges with stone sculpted lions for the defending reason. The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(well) known of bridges is the Lugouqiao, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(build )from 1189 to 1192.
