California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the{#blank#}1{#/blank#} of being the most multicultural state in the USA, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not{#blank#}3{#/blank#} when you know the history of California.

    People from different parts of the world, attracted by the climate and the lifestyle, still immigrate to California. It is believed that before long the mix of nationalities will be{#blank#}4{#/blank#} great that there will be no distinct major{#blank#}5{#/blank#} or cultural groups, but simply a mixture of many races and cultures.

    Although at present human egg cells and embryos{#blank#}6{#/blank#} for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it is leading us.

    A dog entered a butcher's（肉贩）shop with a note in his mouth. The note read, “$10 of lamb chops (羊排），please.”

    The butcher was very{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(surprise). He took the money, put a bag of chops in the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(dog) mouth, and then he closed the shop{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(quick). He followed the dog and watched him wait for a green light. Then the dog crossed the road to a bus stop. He checked the timetable and sat on the bench. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and got{#blank#}4{#/blank#}it.

    As the bus traveled out into the countryside, the dog enjoyed the scenery. After{#blank#}5{#/blank#} while, he stood on his back paws (爪子）{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (push) the “stop” button. Then the butcher followed {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(he) off.

    The dog ran up to a house and dropped his bag on the ground. He went back down the path, took a big run, and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (throw) himself against the door. No answer. He repeated the action a few times. Then a big man opened the door {#blank#}9{#/blank#} started complaining(抱怨) about the dog and beating him.

    Seeing this, the butcher ran up and shouted at the man, “What are you doing? This dog is a genius!” The man replied, “Genius? No way! He has forgotten his key for the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(four) times this month!”

    Sometimes our emotions can seem to defeat us. When this happens, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is possible to give people the wrong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(impress) or do something we regret. Learning to express your emotions effectively will allow you to communicate clearly and carefully, without hurting those around you or{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) the situation worse. So it's important to learn to express emotions.

    Firstly, you need to learn how to express your angry feelings. Anger can cause you to say things you regret, so sometimes you should control your angry feelings. If you're afraid of saying something that hurts someone, then try to think{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(care) before you speak. Also, you can write down your angry thoughts as if you were shouting it out to the world. This allows you{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(express) your anger.

    Secondly, it's necessary to learn to express sadness. Sadness is particularly hard to deal{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, especially when people can see you are sad. But you needn't hide it. Instead, try talking about {#blank#}7{#/blank#}is making you sad. It doesn't matter if you cry, as it has proved that crying can reduce stress. What's more, if you feel your secrets are safe in your dairy, then write down what{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(upset) you.

    Learning to express worry is also important. If you're worried about a friend or a loved one, talk to them about your worry. This could give you some peace of mind. Also, you can choose an activity {#blank#}9{#/blank#}you are interested in and spend some time doing it. The less you think about the problem, the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you will worry.

    Most young boys don't like growing flowers and watering them. But for 16-year-old Angus, working in the garden isn't just {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hobby - it has changed his life.

    Angus has a special illness, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} IQ is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started learning how to grow flowers. Now, he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) after them. "{#blank#}4{#/blank#} he worked in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate in class and sometimes he didn't want to go to school," said his mother Kim. "Now he can't wait {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (go) to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in the future."

    Research shows that working in the garden improves mental and physics health. In the past, soldiers in Egypt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (treat) their mental problems after war by working in the garden. Even now, some doctors advise people to work in the garden to treat their mental health problems. And doctors also advise young people {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Angus to work in the garden.

    The lives of hundreds of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (child) in Britain with special needs, like Angus, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (change) by this special kind of education in the recent years. When working in the garden, they have a chance to learn a lot of important skills, such as how to work with other people and how to take care of plants. Besides, they become {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (confidence) after working in the garden.

    I wonder if it's because I haven't been able to be outdoor for so long {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I've grown so crazy about very everything {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) with nature. I can well remember that there was{#blank#}3{#/blank#} time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(change) since I was here.

    One evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake{#blank#}5{#/blank#} purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn't dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn't go downstairs {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the window had to be shut.

    Sadly …I am only able to look at nature {#blank#}8{#/blank#} dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It's no pleasure {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (look) through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (experience).
