The adobe dwellings (土坯房)  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  （build）by the Pueblo Indians of the AmericanSouthwest are admired by even  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} most modern of architects and engineers. In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (able) to “air condition” a house without  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( use) electric equipment. Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( slow) during cool nights, thus warming the house. When a new day breaks, the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cool) the house during the hot day;{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the same time, they warm up again for the night. This cycle       (go) day after day: The walls warm up during the day and cool off during the night and are thus always a timely offset(抵消) for the outside temperatures. As {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.

    World Read Aloud Day is celebrated each year on the first Wednesday of March. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(start) by the LitWorld.

        The website asks visitors to join in the movement to reduce the number of illiterate (不识字的) people in the world. It is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (absolute) necessary to help those who cannot read. The website says, “It's time to start by reading aloud to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} might like it. Share a book with a child who might need it, share a story with someone who would treasure it, listen patiently {#blank#}7{#/blank#} someone else's story as they share with you.” The United Nations says, “Literacy involves a variety of learning in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (able) individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to participate fully in society.”  In that way, World Read Aloud Day {#blank#}10{#/blank#} help make a difference.

    Ever since middle school,my sister and I have dreamed about{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) a great bike trip.After graduating{#blank#}2{#/blank#}college,we finally got the chance to cycle along the entire Mekong River,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}runs past many{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(country) and into the Pacific.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}my sister didn't know the best way of getting places,she insisted that the trip{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(organize) by her.

    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.

    My classmates and I had a really unforgettable experience，which made us very happy. We paid a visit {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Lucy's house yesterday. We didn't have difficulty finding her house because she {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) us clear directions. When we arrived at her house, her mother was preparing food for us. Then we began to help with the cooking. About an hour later, the food was ready, and we sat at the table enjoying the delicious food including fish and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (vegetable). Finally we went to Ann's room where we watched our favourite TV programme together. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (decorate) with flowers and balloons, the room was warm and comfortable.
