Last Friday, as usual I went home by bike. But at a crossing, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sudden) knocked an old man off his bike. I hurried over and found that his leg {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (injure). Nervous and worried, I called my mom and told her what had happened. We decided to take him to the hospital first.

    Shortly after we arrived at the hospital, my mother came. I had some doubt {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there was anything seriously wrong with the old man. The doctor gave the old man a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (detail) examination. To our delight and relief, there was nothing seriously wrong with him. We thanked the doctor and left. After that, we went back to the place {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the old man's bike was parked, only {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (find) it didn't work. So I immediately found a repairman to get it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fix). Soon he finished {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (repair) it. Before the old man left, my mom offered him our cell phone number in case he needed to contact us. Then the old man got on his bike and we waved goodbye to each other.

    If I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ride) my bike carefully, I would have avoided the accident. Consequently, the unexpected accident made me realize that in the first place we should be careful, but once it occurs, we should take {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (responsible).

    In recent years many TV shows have become extremely popular among Chinese audience. Those programs, ranging {#blank#}1{#/blank#} talent or dating shows to reality shows,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (receive) both commercial success and public attention.

Their popularity is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (main) based on simple facts. First, they care about social concerns. Second,  without exception, they explore a perfect balance between the international forms and Chinese expressions.

    Despite apparent highlights,  much room {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave) for improvement. Above all, commercial interests often outweigh  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (education) purposes , causing many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (complain) about the unbearable advertisements. In addition, some sharp remarks,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they are eye-catching, may have misleading effects {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the youth.

    In my opinion, such shows should shoulder more responsibility instead of merely {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain) the public.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} is expected, these programs should be positive in their forms as well as functions. Meanwhile, the media should also safeguard the values of our society.

    When China's astronaut Zhai Zhigang carried out the spacewalk on September 27, he was wearing a spacesuit developed by Chinese scientists. Being worth more than 30 million yuan, the Feitian (飞天) spacesuit is not {#blank#}1{#/blank#}ordinary one.

    It {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（take）Chinese scientists four years to develop it. But what is special about the suit? First Let's take a look at why{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（astronaut） need to wear spacesuits.

    When you visit a world with little or no atmosphere, not{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wear) a spacesuit, the following things would happen:

    You would become unconscious within 15 seconds because there is no oxygen.

    Your blood and body fluids(液体) would “boil” and then “freeze” {#blank#}5{#/blank#} there is little or no air pressure.

    You would receive various types of radiation.

    You could{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hit) by dust or rock that moves at high speeds.

So, to protect you{#blank#}7{#/blank#}these dangers, a spacesuit must:

    Have a pressurized atmosphere;

    Give you oxygen;

    Keep a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(comfort) temperature;

    Let you see clearly and move easily.

    The Feitian suit did all that and what it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（do）made it like a mini-spaceship in{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the astronaut stayed alive in outer space and carried out tasks.

    Have you ever asked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(you) why children go to school? You will probably say that they go to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(subject). That is quite accurate. But why do they learn these things?

    We send our children to school {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(prepare) them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(practice) use in their life. But is that the only reason for {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they go to school?

    There is more in education than just {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(learn) factors. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(know) how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}be able to teach others how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand， is either unable to do something new, or just does it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bad). The purpose of schools, therefore is not to teach languages， arithmetic, history science, etc. , but to teach pupils {#blank#}10{#/blank#}way to learn.

    Qian Zhongshu was a Chinese scholar and writer, known for his wit and erudition(博学). Despite failing in mathematics, Qian {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (success) entered the Department of Foreign Languages under Tsinghua University in 1929 because of his {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (excellence) performance in Chinese and English languages. In Tsinghua, he met his wife Yang Jiang, who was to become a successful playwright and translator, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (marry) her in 1935. In the same year, Qian received government sponsorship {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (promote) his studies abroad. Together with his wife, Qian headed for the University of Oxford in Britain. After {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (spend) two years at Exeter College, he received a bachelor of literature. He studied for one more year in the University of Paris in France, and he didn't return to China {#blank#}6{#/blank#} 1938.

    Qian lived in Shanghai from 1941 to 1945, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was then under Japanese occupation. At that time he devoted {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he) to writing and many of his works were written or published then. A collection of short {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (essay), Writing in the Margins of Life, was published in 1941. His most celebrated work Fortress Besieged appeared in 1947. On the Art of Poetry, written {#blank#}10{#/blank#} classical Chinese was issued in 1948.

    In much of Asia, especially the so-called "rice bowl" cultures of China, Japan, Korea, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.

    Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (create) special designs.

    The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) twigs(树枝)to remove it. Over time, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.

    Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(gradual) turned into chopsticks.

    Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) too violent for use at the table.

    Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally eat {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their hands.
