 A"Gap Year" is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills. It's very popular in foreign countries.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} 

 Although you don't have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} 

A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn't always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} 

 There's a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it's not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} 

 Imagine an admission officer trying to admit(录取) only one between two students. Both of them are excellent and have high grades. However, one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation. Who do you think the admission officer will choose?{#blank#}5{#/blank#} 

    Sometimes we are used to drawing a quick conclusion(结论), But is it right or not? My little son gave me a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    One day, I took my five-year-old son to go out for a walk after dinner. On the way, we saw an old woman selling fruits. I didn't take enough money with me. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my son liked eating fruit very much, I could buy only two pears and gave them to him.

    The little boy held the pears in his hands. I asked him if he could share one {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. On hearing this, he quickly took a bite(咬) from one pear, and the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    I was quite surprised. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} myself what mistakes I had made in educating my son so that he acted in such a greedy(贪婪) way. I was lost in thought. Perhaps I was just {#blank#}6{#/blank#} too much. My son was too young to know about sharing and giving.

    Suddenly, my son gave me the pear in his right hand and said, “Mom, you have this one. This one is much sweeter.” Then I knew why my little son took a bite from {#blank#}7{#/blank#} pear.

    From then on, I always tell myself not to reach a conclusion too {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Try to spend some more time in understanding things better.

    The first thing people notice about other people is the way they look. If you look clean, people{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(feel) as if you are a hard-working person. A nice look shows that you value{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(you). A nice look doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money{#blank#}3{#/blank#}clothes or accessories(配饰). Someone can look uncomfortable in{#blank#}4{#/blank#}expensive suit if they don't brush their hair or clean their clothes. Someone else can seem to be good-looking in an old shirt and pants that has been cleaned. Besides, it's also important {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(consider) if your look is suitable for the situation. You may look lovely in your party clothes or feel {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (confidence) in your business suit,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} these would look out of style in a more casual(随便的) situation such as at a picnic or at the movies. It's important to be comfortable in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you're wearing, but you also need to fit in with what other people will be wearing. Wear suits for {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you and the situation best: jeans and T-shirts are fine for friends and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (movie); a nice shirt and pants are more suitable for work.

But my favorite fruit is strawberry. I don't like eating ice-cream {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there is much sugar in it and that will be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for my teeth. I think breakfast is very important, so I always get up {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to eat breakfast. And I like to have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} glass of milk before going to bed. It can give {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a good sleep.
