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).

    She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course . But unlike school friends ,16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (rest). Instead, she is earning $6500 a day as {#blank#}2{#/blank#} model in New York.

    Sarah  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tell) that she could be Britain's new supermodel， earning a million dollars in the new year. Her father Peter44,want her to give up school to model fulltime. But Sarah, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}has taken part in shows along with top models， wants  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (prove) that she has brains as well as beauty. She is determined to carry on with her{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(educate).

    She has turned down several {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(invitation) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full time before going to university to get a degree {#blank#}8{#/blank#} engineering or architecture.

    Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. But at the moment, school {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(come) first. I don't want to get too absorbed in modeling. It is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(certain) fun but the lifestyle is a little unreal. I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model my more."

    In Canada and the United States, people invite friends over for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation.

    Here are kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes:

    "Would you like{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(come) over for dinner this Saturday night?" "Hey. We {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(have) a party on Friday. Can you come?"

    To reply to an invitation(邀请), either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give {#blank#}3{#/blank#} excuse. "Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry. I have a ticke{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a movie."

    Sometimes, however, people use words {#blank#}5{#/blank#} sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime." "Why not get together for a party sometime?" "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"

    They are really just polite ways of {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention(提到；谈到) a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(friend). To reply to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(expression) like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!” or "OK. Yes, thanks."

    So next time when you hear such sounds like an invitation, listen{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(careful). Is it a real invitation {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is the person just being polite?

    We always knew our daughter Kendall was going to be a performer of some sort. She entertained people in our small town by {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (put) on shows on our front porch when she was only three or four.

    When Kendall was five, we began to notice that she was blinking a lot and clearing her throat {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(frequent). We had her {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (test) for allergies(过敏), but the doctor said she wasn't allergic to anything at all. We took her to our local children's hospital, in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} she was diagnosed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Tourette's Syndrome.

    We took her from doctor to doctor, but all they did was give her medicine that just made it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bad), so we decided to go the natural route and luckily she got better. When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she was out of danger. But at a birthday party, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} accident happened and she was badly hurt. Her biggest concern wasn't whether she would walk again, but whether she would be able to sing for American Idol.

    She trained hard and willed {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (her) to move again. At last Kendall walked into the stadium to sing for American Idol. And our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (tear) turned into shouts when she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) a golden ticket to Hollywood.
