An old Japanese man kept a sparrow{#blank#}1{#/blank#}which he was very fond. One day it flew away. He went out,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (look) all over the place for his sparrow. At last, he met his sparrow. “I missed you very much, sparrow.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}you follow me home ? "{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the sparrow was happy to see the old man, it shook{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(it) head. There were many other birds. They all looked healthy. "I am glad you have good companions, dear sparrow." said the old man. When it was time for the old man to leave, the sparrow gave him a basket as a present. "Well," said the old man's wife{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(anger) when he returned, "where have you been all day?" "I have been to the home of my lost sparrow”, replied he. When he opened the basket he was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(amaze) to find it was full of gold. The old woman was very greedy. But she used to treat it very badly. She unashamedly asked for a present. “Alright”，replied the sparrow, “I offer you two{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(choose). One basket is light and the other is heavy{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(pick )one out，and you can take it home.” The greedy old woman cried out, "I'll take{#blank#}10{#/blank#}heavy one.

    Hello, everyone! Up to now, we have finished learning the first three units of Book 1. Now let's review what we have learnt together.

    In Unit One, we have learnt about what kind of friends we should make from our friend Anne {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was killed by the German Nazis during World War Ⅱ. It was the first time in her life that she{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(keep)diaries in the hiding place. So she had great difficulty{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(set) down what she and her family had gone through. Though she grew so crazy about everything to do with nature, it was no pleasure looking through the dusty windows any longer.

    In Unit Two, we have known that there is more than one kind of English in the world and in some important ways they are very different{#blank#}4{#/blank#}one another. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. However, today the number of people learning English in China{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(increase)rapidly, although they find{#blank#}6{#/blank#}hard to learn English well. As high school students, we should make full use of our time{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) a good command of English in order to pass the College Entrance Examinations in three years.

    In Unit Three, our friends Wang Kun and Wang Wei made up their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mind) to take a great bike trip along the Mekong River. They both bought {#blank#}9{#/blank#} expensive mountain bike. Finally they got the chance after graduating from college. Soon they got their cousins{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(interest) in cycling too. After making preparations, they together started their journey and realized their dream to take a great bike trip.

    In our daily life, we often meet with difficulties. Some people do nothing but wait, while others try hard to conquer{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Personally, we should face with difficulties positively and make every effort to overcome them.

    My memory drew me back to five years ago when I was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} middle school student. At that time, I had great trouble studying English. First of all, I felt it hard to memorize English {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(word). Besides I didn't dare to say anything in class when {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ask) questions. What annoyed me most was that I failed exams {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(constant). I was about to give up {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my English teacher found my problems. He encouraged me and gave me some good advice. So {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (inspire) by him, I decided to settle my problems.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(follow) his advice, I made progress gradually. I owe my achievement {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the teacher whose encouragement was of great {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.(important).

    When police found Barely, 19 years old, living in a tent, instead of a dormitory in Gordon State University, they were prepared to drive him away.

    Then they heard his story. Barely {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(plan) to walk to college {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he couldn't afford a bus ticket, but it would be too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(tire). So he rode six hours from his hometown on his little brother's bike, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(carry) all his possessions—a bag, a tent, two bottles of water {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a box of food—in order to start his second year {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a biology major. He arrived early to look for a job, but no luck. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(touch) by his story, Officer Richard and his partner put Barely up at a motel with their own money. Word spread and soon people donated clothes; school supplies and money {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cover) the rest of his motel stay—he was even given a job. And then there was Casey, who started a GoFundMe page for Barely after spending time with him. "This kid, though weak in {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(appear), rode a bike for 6 hours in the hot weather. I thought that he is determined." She wrote on her Facebook page. The fund reached $184,000, all of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} went into an education trust for Barely.

    People today take lots of photos. Some photographs are really memorable. They either capture important events, such as birthday parties or weddings,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} show beautiful places. Years later, people may look at these special photos to remember {#blank#}2{#/blank#} past.

    However, how did people record important moments without cameras long ago? Some people told {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (story) about old times, and others wrote down {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they remembered. There were also a lot of people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) special drawings to help them recall important moments. Among those people were Native Americans of the Lakota tribe.

    Every year, Lakota leaders decided which event was most important. A Lakota {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (art) was then asked to draw a special picture of that event. Because each year's picture was decided on during the winter, the drawings became {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (know) as winter counts.

    For a long time, winter counts were drawn on animal skins. Later, the drawings {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (do) on paper. The pictures told the history of the tribe. Each year, the newest winter count was added {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the Lakota collection of pictures from {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (early) times. That helped people keep track of the years. Today, winter counts are important records of the Lakota's past.

CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among netizens by asking people whether they were happy. The responses {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the question were various, even some quite funny ones included. Although people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (play) jokes on the answers, it did not take long {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they began to figure out the true meaning of happiness.

It is certain that people's views on happiness {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(affect) greatly by their own life experience. Unfortunately, too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of a decrease in the number of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth. Some people whose {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (intend) is to make big money appreciate being given any chance to increase their income, believing that is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their happiness lies. Some are eager to inherit their parents' property, especially those {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are known as silver-spoon kids. Even worse, some would rather break the law {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (satisfy) their financial desire or seek their fortune {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (legal).

In my opinion, happiness is not about {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pursue) wealth but about admiring the beautiful things in life. Therefore, live your life to the fullest and be happy.
