On July 12th, 2012, an airplane took off from the capital airport of Belgium. After about an hour's flight, something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( believe ) happened on the plane. The airhostess was about to serve lunch {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a small mouse stole out from the bag of a young man, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} made the young woman nearby fall in terror with loud screaming. Then more and more {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( mouse ) came out of the bag. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( catch ) by surprise, the other passengers all shouted in panic. The steward（机长）managed to get in touch with the control center on the ground. With the order from the ground, the plane {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( succeed ) landed at the nearest airport. As soon as the plane was on the ground, all the passengers got off. Then seven specialists got on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( kill ) these small creatures. Many means had been tried, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of them were good enough.

    At last they tried to fill in the plane {#blank#}9{#/blank#} carbon-dioxide, which poisoned all of the small creatures. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( report ) that the young man wanted to carry them to another city and sell them as pets but no one expected that these small creatures succeeded in escaping from the bag .

    Robben Island was a prison from which no one escaped. When Elias got to Robben Island, Mandela was also there and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（help）him.

    Elias was a poor black worker. The time {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he first met Nelson Mandela was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} very difficult period of his life. Nelson Mandela offered {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (guide) to poor black people on their legal problems. Elias was not at school for long, for his family could not afford his school {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （fee）and the bus fare. When he was worried about whether he would be out of work because he didn't have one passbook, Nelson Mandela told him what to do. That day was one of Elias'{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (happy) days in his life. Later, Elias joined the ANC Youth League {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (organize) by Nelson Mandela. In 1963, Elias helped Mandela {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (blow) up some government buildings. It was very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (danger) but Elias was happy because he thought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} would help them achieve their dream of making black and white people equal.

    Why do different people like different colors? The answer depends largely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} cultural values. To the Egyptians, green is a color {#blank#}2{#/blank#} stands for the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) against evils.

    People's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(choose) of colors is also affected by their bodies' reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally {#blank#}6{#/blank#} physically. When {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) in green environment, people have fewer stomach aches. Red can make a person's blood pressure {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(rise) and increase people's appetite. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. And many commercial websites will have a red "Buy Now" button because red is a color that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (easy) catches a person's eye. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. Therefore, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you want to eat less, eating from blue plates can help.

    All our teachers try to make classes lively and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(interest), so that we won't get {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bore). The class of my English teacher is organized well although some students often say they hate this subject. I know I can't avoid {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lose) my confidence unless I work hard. I also know I must make sure of enough time and energy {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(learn) English. I once {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(admit) to my parents that I had trouble with my English learning and they encouraged me greatly. The teacher is always strict {#blank#}6{#/blank#} me. With my teacher {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(help) me, I have made great progress in English. Last week, I didn't get nervous in the English examination or answer incorrectly, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} meant that I succeeded. My teacher thinks I am shy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} much more intelligent than other students! In my opinion, my English teacher is patient, energetic and serious in his English literature class, and he leaves me such a deep and good {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(impress). I will show respect for him forever.
