Every school has a library. A library is a very important part of a school as it helps students to gain and acquire knowledge.

    Our school has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very large library, which has a large {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (collect) of books, including small storybooks, large reference books, journals, magazines and so on. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (arrange) in different sections, so that it is easy for us to search{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a particular book. We usually go to the library to borrow reference books for our studies, but we have seen students from{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (low) grades visit the library to borrow small storybooks.

    We have a librarian who keeps a track of all the books that go in and out of the library. Generally, the books can be kept by us for one week. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the books aren't returned to the library on time, we will be fined.

    There is a separate reading room in the library{#blank#}7{#/blank#} students can go and read whatever {#blank#}8{#/blank#} like. I love spending time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (read) books there. It is so quiet that we can really enjoy reading{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (peaceful) and learn a lot of great things in the world.

    A trip to China with the kids could be a test to your nerves,but also a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wonder)experience.This is an ancient civilization which is growing at great speed into the 21^st century,meanwhile holding onto the old traditions and way of life.

    As you travel from area to area,a sea of contrasts is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}makes it so fascinating.You can find an old fisherman on his bamboo boat{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(answer) his mobile phone,and modernity and old traditions existing side by side.The only constant thing in China is “change”.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}first it might seem challenging.But you{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(find)the people helpful,especially if you are traveling with children.Chinese love children,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}more the happier.

    But as far as children{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(concern),this isn't a light-hearted trip to Disneyworld.What if they get sick?Will the kids like the food?Is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pollute)really that bad?Will they be bored?Just relax.You can depend on{#blank#}9{#/blank#}that you'll end up with plenty of priceless{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(memory) of that country.

    Xiao Li and John Martin became friends while{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(study)at university,It's been six years{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they last saw each other.And this is the first time John Martin{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(visit)Xia Li's hometown Xia Men,one of the most {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(attract)cities on the coast,It's so lively and everyone seems so friendly.Xiao Li feels very fortunate{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(live) here.The climate is pretty hot and wet in the summer,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}it can be quite cold in the winter.Every year many tourists come to Xiamen{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(spend)their holidays,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial)in the summer.A lot of high-rise buildings have put{#blank#}9{#/blank#}in the business district.And there are some shopping malls.With some really pretty parks,the western district is the most interesting part of the city.Gulangyu is just {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the water,a gorgeous island with some really interesting architecture.

    I love natural science, which came from my curiosity in nature. From {#blank#}1{#/blank#} early ago, I caught frogs and insects in the nearby woods. I explored the cool streams {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (run) through the woods and searched for fish living in the water.

    As I grew up, my interests expands around subjects in school, particularly {#blank#}3{#/blank#} biology, chemistry and physics in high school. These interests were increased with more time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (spend) in the deserts of Arizona. The desert was not totally new to me, since I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (visit) relatives in Phoenix several times before moving there. However, exploring the desert on my own was new. I checked under every rock and bush looking for {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (sign) of life. I found many incredible animals. Once I happened to discover {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (poison) snakes under a rock. I was very sacred. However, I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (eventual) grew to be cautious of them and now snakes are my favorite study subject.

    I am now an ecologist. I have done research in deserts, forests, streams and lakes. Finding new species still {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite) me. I am glad to have a strong inquisitiveness (求知欲) in the natural world. My hobby and curiosity make me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I am now.

    Are you a man or a mouse? When {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) this question, people want to know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you think you are a brave person or a coward. But you will never really know the answer to this question until you {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (test) in real life. Some people think they are brave but when they come face to face with real danger, they act like cowards. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hero).

    When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (call) adrenalin (肾上腺素) in the blood. With adrenalin in the blood system, you feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (strong) than ever before. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, when you are absolutely {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (terrify), the body can produce too much adrenalin, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} makes you find you can't do anything at all.
