My husband and I were paying a visit {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my parents in Tucson. We went to a fast-food restaurant for dinner together. My husband went to the counter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (order) dishes and I stood with my parents.

    My dad is 90 years old. He can hardly see very well and walks with a stick. I was scanning the restaurant, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wait) to sit at the first table that was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (convenient) than others. A woman who was sitting with her son made eye contact with me and asked me to come to her. With a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(puzzle) look on my face, I pointed to myself and said , “Me ?” She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (nod) and said, “Yes, you.” I walked to the table and she said, “Bring your family here. I can finish eating at the counter. My son is in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} hurry to leave anyway.” My eyes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fill) with tears as she wiped down the table and guided my dad to the seat.

    I always believe that there are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (nature) kind people in this world. This woman has set a good example to her son, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is a really lucky guy.

    It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (present) to them.

    Today, Father Christmas is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} imaginary figure, but {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (near) all young children believe in him. They think he is an {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (attract) old man with a long white beard {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a long red robe.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (put) presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So children go to bed that night, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (hang) up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it's really  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) parents who fill the stockings.

Dear professor Gary,

    I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (terrible) sorry for using the mobile phone in your lecture last week.  I admit {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (make) a mistake and I deserve any {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (punish) for being such a rude student. But I didn't use the mobile phone {#blank#}4{#/blank#} design. I was trying to find a part-time job and that day, a company e-mailed me a job offer and I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (require) to present my further information without any delay. As {#blank#}6{#/blank#} result, I had to try {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (send) them a text message in class. I promise it will never happen {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me again. But I do need my phone with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I could communicate with others. I would be grateful {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you could give it to me this time.

    Thank you.

Tom

    Spring is coming. Everything is waking from its winter sleep. The fields {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(dress) in a fresh robe of green. The wild flowers begin to peep forth(隐隐露出). Birds sing among the trees, and begin to get their nests ready {#blank#}2{#/blank#} summer. Men are now sowing seeds in the fields. The days are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(warm), for brighter sunshine has come again. Everything is full of life and joy.

    Two new satellites of the BeiDou Navigation (导航)Satellite System (BDS){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(send)into space on a Long March﹣3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, China at 2:07 a. m. on November 19, 2018. The satellites entered a Medium Earth orbit {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(safe) more than three hours later and will work with 17other BDS﹣3satellites already in space. They are also the 42nd and 43rd {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(member) of the BDS satellite family.

    China launched these satellites with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} aim of providing navigation services for countries and regions which participate in the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) by the end of 2018. "This is a key step for BDS developing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a Chinese experimental system to a regional and then a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(globe) navigation system," said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. The positioning {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(accurate) of the BDS﹣3system has been improved to 2.5 meters to 5 meters, said Yang.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( name) after the Chinese term for the Plough, the BeiDou system has been serving China for 18 years {#blank#}9{#/blank#}another six BDS﹣3satellites will be put into the Medium Earth orbits from 2019to 2020. The system is expected {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(provide) first﹣class services around the globe by the end of 2020.

    We set {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at 5: 45 to visit the chimps in Gombe {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (nation) Park. We watched a family of chimps {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wake) up in the morning and followed them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wander) into the forest. Jane had been there {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (observe) and recording chimps' daily {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (活动). For forty years, she had been {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (help) the world to understand and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (尊敬) the life of these animals. Jane is indeed a woman of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (achieve) and a good example for us all. She inspires those {#blank#}10{#/blank#} want to cheer the achievements of women.
