Have you ever thought about the best meal you have ever eaten? For many people, it isn't just about the quality of the food; it's also about great memories of a particular vacation or the person it was shared {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. We asked 100 famous chefs from around the world {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their best meals were, and we got some{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (interest) answers.

    As the researchers expected, 30% of the chefs{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(survey) said that their best meal as a kid was still what they liked the most as an adult. 20% {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (consider) a meal in a fancy restaurant as the best one in their lives, and another 10% said that a meal while on vacation with their wife{#blank#}6{#/blank#}husband was the best of all time. 15% said that a simple meal that they often cooked at home ranked{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (high) than any other meal, and the same number said that their best dish was something they make where they work.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprising), 10% of these chefs said that their favorite meal of their entire lives was at a fast food restaurant! These best{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cook) in the world would pick McDonald's or KFC if they had the choice of what {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eat).

    Last summer, as soon as school was over, I thought maybe I could spend the summer {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a way different from previous ones. But how? Perhaps I could take{#blank#}2{#/blank#}part-time job and make some money. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (offer) an interview soon after I filed my application to Kentucky Fried Chicken. The interview was three days ahead. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (prepare) for it, I went through Interview Skills, a book {#blank#}5{#/blank#} prepares readers for job interviews. My mom and dad tried to help by {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) me simulated (模拟的) interviews one after {#blank#}7{#/blank#}I was all ready the day before the interview.

    I answered all of the manager's questions {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(perfect). After all, my mom and dad had expected all of them and I just needed to repeat the answers I had prepared. Besides, I had carried myself well through the interview. My facial {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(express), my voice, my…… all were excellent. I felt the job was already mine. That night I calculated how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} money I would make, and I planned the ways I would like to spend it.

    This year I was chosen as the vice monitor (副班长) of the class. At first, I was really excited to have been chosen. And I like the monitor, Charlie as well,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} has a funny face but works very hard.

    My best friend, Sally, was also happy for me. She said the last vice monitor, Joey, had been very rude and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kind) to her. She always talked about it, but I usually {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (ignore) it.

    Charlie and I have to stay behind after school to make sure the classroom is clean. I came back before Charlie last Thursday. I found Sally at Joey's desk {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (cut) up Joey's English textbook. I was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (extreme) shocked. Sally asked me not to tell anyone. After that, she ran out and Charlie came in.

    Charlie saw the book and soon realized {#blank#}6{#/blank#} had happened. He asked me what I had seen but I said {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The next day, Joey was crying. She was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (frighten) to tell our teacher because he may think she did it. Sally is happy about this. This makes me angry. Charlie insists that I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (tell) our teacher the truth, but I am concerned {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the friendship with Sally. What should I do?

    I will never forget the day when I went to a coming-of age ceremony. Last month, an unforgettable adult ceremony {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) for all the senior 3 students in our school. It began at half past two in the afternoon. Decorated by colorful flowers and balloons, the stadium looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fantastic) beautiful. All of us students were dressed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} school uniforms with red ribbons on our wrists, showing the energy of youth. We walked into the stadium in high spirits. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (accompany) by our parents. Our principal delivered {#blank#}5{#/blank#}inspiring speech at first, and we received {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (congratulate) from our teachers. During the ceremony, we expressed our heart-felt gratitude to our parents by{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bow) to them. I was moved to tears when I got a photo album from my parents, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} reminded me of my happy childhood. In the end, we raised our right hands and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) a serious promise to become reliable and honest citizens. As far as I'm concerned, the ceremony indicates that we should take on more responsibilities to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (independence) and get away from the shelter of our family.
