Nowadays, we are in a modern society. Everybody should be polite in public. But sometimes some people like to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in line when they buy tickets or get on the bus or subway. They take {#blank#}2{#/blank#}places as well as time when they are in line, so it is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I can't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that. Sometimes, I even get mad when I see them cut in line.

     When this {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, I often say, "Would you mind {#blank#}6{#/blank#}in line?" But sometimes some of them are angry {#blank#}7{#/blank#}me and they say, "It's none of your business." So I {#blank#}8{#/blank#}angrier. Then I only tell it to the people who sell the tickets. At last the people who are breaking the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}of etiquette(礼数) don't get their tickets. So I am happy and the people who cut in line are {#blank#}10{#/blank#}

    What's hotter than the summer of 2017? Wolf Warrior 2(战狼2), of course! Like a storm, the movie quickly swept across the whole country this summer. Thanks{#blank#}1{#/blank#}it, many people walked into cinemas for the first time. The movie has made history—it's now the highest-grossing Chinese movie of all time. For its director-actor Wu Jing, it is something he never imagined.

    For Wu, the movie was a dream project. Before he made this movie, he was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}an actor and worked for years.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} he was already successful and well-known, he dreamed big. He decided to try his hand at directing and{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a different and meaningful movie. The first-time director put lots of time, money and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} into the movie. To film it, he led the team to several African countries and they experienced many unexpected things, for example, many of his workers were bitten by spiders and he{#blank#}6{#/blank#}lost his life at sea. In fact, these accidents or difficulties were only the tip of the iceberg（冰山）. The strong-willed man kept going and believed it was worth all risks, anyway. “I was stressed, but not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.All these are experiences,” he said.

    Wu's hard work paid off. The big success of wolf Warrior 2 has brought{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a lot of fame. Now he is no{#blank#}9{#/blank#} the hottest director in China. “I will continue to work hard to make more great movies for Chinese,” said Wu{#blank#}10{#/blank#} a firm look in the eye.

    Alice was born with a strange disease. She was taken to many hospitals. None of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} knew the cause of the disease. They told her parents she would go blind and deaf.

    Now Alice is fifteen years old. Her eyesight and hearing are so poor that she can't see or hear {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But she is a bright and happy girl. She says to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, "Whatever happens, I will never give up. " She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to enjoy her life. With her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} help, she is travelling as much as she can. She is also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the interesting things she experiences along the way.

    She also wants to help people like her. Her dream is to help researchers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a method for her disease. If she can get {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, people who have the same disease may also be cured (治愈). In fact, she has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} money for a foundation (基金会) fighting the disease since she was in Grade Two. Until now, she has got over $150，000!

    Alice thinks helping others can make her {#blank#}10{#/blank#} than having fun alone. She is doing her best to live her life without any regret.

Sandy: Mom, I'm really worried.

Mom: Why? What's the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}?

Sandy: I can't find my schoolbag.

Mom: Well, where did you last put it?

Sandy: I can't remember! I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a concert yesterday so it might still be in the museum hall.

Mom: Do you have anything {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in your schoolbag?

Sandy: No, just my books, my pink hair band and some tennis balls.

Mom: So it can't be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Sandy: Oh, wait! I went to a picnic after the concert. I remember I had my schoolbag with me at the picnic.

Mom: So could it still be at the park?

Sandy: Yes. I left earlier than the rest of my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I'll call them now to check if anybody has it.

    Everyone has a true friend in his life. Mary Allen was my best friend—like the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

    When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} occasions(场合)—like my wedding and Mary's. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped ＂Address Unknown.＂ I had no idea how to find Mary.

    Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
