The local elementary school had just let out and I found myself behind a school bus as I was driving home. The bus stopped by a house {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stand) on top of a hill. A little girl no more than seven years old jumped down the bus steps and{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (start) running up the driveway toward the house.

    I looked up the hill to see {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she was going and saw her Dad waiting for her. As she got closer and closer her Dad smiled and bent down to greet her. When she got to him, he folded her in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} powerful arms and gave her a huge hug.

    My eyes watered a bit as I watched this scene and remembered all the times {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my own children had ran into my arms with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (smile) faces. Every single hug from them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a fountain of youth and a treasure of joy .

    My lovely trip down memory lane was interrupted when I heard the car behind me sound its horn (喇叭). I saw {#blank#}8{#/blank#} school bus quickly pulling away. I started to follow it again with a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (light) spirit than I had before. I took that beautiful moment and stored it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (safe) in my soul where I knew it would remain forever.

    This is a meaningful and impressive story. A man came to the USA. After settling down at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}island, he went into a cafeteria to get something {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (eat). He sat down at an empty table {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (silent) and waited for someone to take his order, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sit) opposite him and informed him {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the cafeteria worked. “Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end, they'll tell you how much you have to pay.”

    “I soon learned how everything worked in the USA,” the man told a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rely) friend. He said, “Life's a cafeteria here. You can get anything as long as you are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (will) to pay the price.”

    You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (you). You can't change the things that you can't avoid or prevent. The only thing you can do is control your attitude. Once you reach that point in life, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (achieve) won't be too far away.

    English is a language{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(speak) all around the world. There are more than 40 countries{#blank#}2{#/blank#}most of the people speak English. What's more, the number of people who learn English {#blank#}3{#/blank#}more than 750 million. Everywhere in the world children go to school{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(learn) English. Most people learn English for five or six years at high school. In China, most students learn English at school {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a foreign language.

    In only fifty years, English{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(develop) into the language most{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(wide) used in the world. English is the working language of most international organizations, international trade and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. You can listen to English songs through the Internet. With so many people {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(communicate) in English every day, it will become more and more important to have{#blank#}10{#/blank#}good knowledge of English.

    Wang Kun and Wang Wei are brother and sister. They have dreamed of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) a great bike trip.

When it{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(enter) Southeast Asia, it travels {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(slow) through hills and low valleys and the plains{#blank#}6{#/blank#}rice grows.
