    The Dean listened to their sad story and got lost in deep{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think).Then he offered them a retest three days later.They thanked him and accepted his offer.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the test day arrived, they went to the Dean.The Dean put them ail in separate{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (room) for the test.They were fine with this since they had all studied hard.Then they saw the test.It had 2 questions.

    After the tsunami(海啸)hit India，many people who lived near the sea were greatly influenced. A lot of people lost their homes and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(unfortunate) some even lost their lives.

    College girls {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(ask)to collect money from their neighborhood. So we formed a group and devoted {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(we) to collecting money for the tsunami relief fund (救济金)．In our area，we showed a sign board，{#blank#}4{#/blank#} read，"Please help the sufferers, "to the people in the neighborhood and asked for their help. They donated money，dress，rice，medicine {#blank#}5{#/blank#} anything else useful.

    A small boy who was on the way to his school came running to us and asked us {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(wait) there for some time. After 5 minutes he ran to us with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} small savings box. It was a plastic box which there {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) many coins inside. He said he got the little box from his granny as a birthday gift {#blank#}9{#/blank#} saving coins. And he wanted it to be donated for the fund. It was the real greatest offering of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(kind) collected by us. What a lovely boy and what a big heart!

    With so much information available in books and online, it's easy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (learn) a few new facts each day. But how much of that do you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (actual) remember? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}your answer is not much, here is the good news. Scientists at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, recently designed a new typeface (字体) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was invented with read-it-and-forget-it people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} mind. Very appropriately, it's called Sans Forgetica.

    The idea behind Sans Forgetica is simple. The typeface is a tiny bit {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (difficulty) to read, which {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mean) your brain has to work twice as hard to understand what it says. Because of that deeper focus, you'll have a better memory for whatever you're reading. That's not just a theory, either. The typeface was created by a team of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (researcher) from RMIT University's School of Design and its Behavioural Business Lab. The group worked with a famous typographer Stephen Banham to test and improve {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) product.

    The typeface uses principles of cognitive psychology to create an effect {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (know) as desirable difficulty, the researchers note, which causes the brain to take part in deeper cognitive processing. The result is improved memory.

    For those who just love to shop online, Nov 11. is the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(good) time of the year. Online group buying is quite popular{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the young. The main reason is that things in this way are{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(cheap) than those bought in usual stores. Then, it is convenient to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) orders and pay. Besides, it is a trend and young people love following trends. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, every coin has two sides. Online group buying has{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(advantage). It is sometimes unsafe. One of my friends was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cheat) once. He bought {#blank#}8{#/blank#}MP4 on a group buying site. Several days passed, he still didn't receive the MP4. He called to find out{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the problem was, and found that the site was a trick. Therefore, we must be careful when{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(do) such shopping. In addition, buy only what we need and never buy unnecessary things just because they are cheap.
