I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#}only child of my parents, so they are worried {#blank#}2{#/blank#}everything I do. For example, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I ride my bike, my parents won't let me {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ride) by myself. They are afraid I might fall off my bike and hurt {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. They are taking great trouble to support the bike, with my mother even {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(carry) a first-aid box. I'm not free to ride and I often say {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(angry), “why not let me ride alone?”

    Now, most families have one child. Parents want to do everything for their children. This does no good {#blank#}8{#/blank#}them. Too much love from parents may prevent children from {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) independent. In my opinion, parents should let their children do {#blank#}10{#/blank#}they should do alone.

    I am looking at an old friend of mine.

    He has been one of my best{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(friend )for almost 12 years. He has blessed my life with his loyalty, kindness{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wise) and love since the day when I first met him{#blank#}3{#/blank#}doesn't matter to me that he has four legs instead of two, fur instead of clothes, and barks at me instead of talking to me.

    As I watch my friend sleeping{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the sun, I cant help{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(think) of all the goodness he has brought into my life. He has been with me every day through good and bad times. He has always been my protector. He has always reminded me that I am loved and showed me how{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(love)others at the same time.

    My friend has aged far{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(quickly)than me and had more and more health problems over the years. I am not sure how long we will be together before he {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pass)away from this world.

    This {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wonder)dog has helped me understand that you don't have to be perfect to be loved and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}poor health and old age might affect the body but they don't have to decrease the spirit.

    China{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(witness) rapid growth in dealing with cases between citizens and government departments over the past five years. But{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) officials to court (法庭)would have been unheard of 30 years ago.

    “The question of whether to allow citizens to sue (起诉)government departments caused heated debates back then,” said Yang Jingyu, 82, a retired lawmaker {#blank#}3{#/blank#}at the time was a member of the Standing Committee of the National Peopled Congress.

    He looked back {#blank#}4{#/blank#} discussions about the Maritime Traffic Safety Law, which {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(regard) as a basis of China's legal system. But it started a debate on whether governments could be sued, because some officials thought what they do is in the name of the country.

    However Peng Zhen, who {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (devote) to making the laws, argued that it would be unfair{#blank#}7{#/blank#} we did not allow citizens to appeal (上诉)in court. For example, sailors, especially{#blank#}8{#/blank#} who had worked many years to become captains, would be jobless or fall into trouble if they were {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wrong) punished.

    Now, according to the laws, courts must accept cases without {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hesitate) if litigants (当事人)provide enough material.

    Former First Lady Michelle Obama's memoir (回忆录) Becoming has become the best-selling book {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( publish) this year in the US just 15 days after publication. The sales figure (two million copies){#blank#}2{#/blank#} (announce) by Penguin Random House last Friday.

    Becoming mainly tells the story about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Michelle has balanced work and family {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a professional woman. The book is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} window into the personal life of the first African-American First Lady and the first black US President. About marriage, Michelle mentions, “I married a creative thinker, and I had to remind {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(I) that we were adapting to each other to make two individuals a solid, permanent us.” In the memoir, Michelle speaks {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (honest) of difficulties she met with in her life. The 54-year-old also criticizes (批评) US President Donald Trump, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (write) that she can “never forgive” him. That's because during his presidential campaign. Trump's “birther” theory that Michelle's husband was not born in the US {#blank#}9{#/blank#} therefore was not a legal President put her family's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (safe) at risk.
