There is a holiday next week and I can't decide what to do. I have a lot of work to do 1 and this would be a good chance(机会) to do it. But I don't like 2 the holiday in this way. I can work at home all the rest of the year. Last year I went north to the mountains. 3 there was beautiful, but it is too cold this time of year. And it's really 4 far to go for a short holiday. I think     5 this isn't a good time to go to the mountains. But I 6 to go somewhere else.

    Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach(海滨). I like to go for a walk along the seashore 7 the warm sunshine and watch the water. It's only eight miles and I can get there 8 about two hours. After thinking it 9, I am sure that this is a     10 time for the seashore than the mountains. I think I can enjoy myself there.

    Once there was a king called David. He lived in a golden place with his 1. He was rich, but he still loves 2 very much.

    One day, a god called Gory got lost and woke up in the garden of David's place. The king 3 him for some days. Gory was very grateful (感激的) and 4 to give David anything he wanted. David was happy and said, "I would like everything I touch to turn into gold."

    At first David was very 5. He touched a table and it became gold. But as he reached out for an apple, it turned into gold and he couldn't 6 it. David became scared. At that moment, his daughter entered the room. David rushed over to hug her. Suddenly, he realized that his daughter was a 7, golden statue (雕像). David cried 8. Then he turned to Gory. Gory told him to go down to the river and wash his 9. David did as what Gory told. Then he returned to the 10. He found everything changed back when he touched the gold.

    From then on, David didn't care for gold any longer.

Most of us find that smartphones have made our lives better. Almost all of us{#blank#}1{#/blank#} our smartphones within arm's reach during waking hours, and most of us do so when we sleep. What will happen {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we live without the smartphones?

In 2022, My family moved into a small village house. There was no Wi- Fi. It was my first time to taste the joy of a life. We learned to make {#blank#}3{#/blank#} use of time. We also realized that days lacking of digital product(数码产品) made time slow down and{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the quality(质量) of our time together. We could find a quiet place to sleep, cook simple {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to eat and enjoy the countryside views. The smartphone is just a tool. Without it, the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} seemed to more relaxing.

In England, the government advised schools to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} out complete bans(禁令) on smartph one use. That was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} used by some American schools. Some Americans are changing their smartphones into old- fashioned {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Most people can set free time to play {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their family. It shows us that we can also live happily without smartphones.

Tani moved away from his home town with his family years ago. When they got to the United States, a churchman {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(warm) helped place them in a homeless shelter(收容所) in New York. Tani's dad worked as a driver {#blank#}2{#/blank#} his mum studied hard to become a nurse. Tani started going to the primary school. There, he learnt {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(play) the game that would change his life: chess. 

At the age of eight, Tani {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(win)a state champion(冠军) for his age. He beat other 73 players. Some had practised with private chess teachers, but Tani had practised on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} floor of the homeless shelter alone. 

A reporter wrote an article about Tani. In three weeks, thousands {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people gave away over $250, 000 to Tani and his family on GoFundMe. Some also left {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(message). One person wrote, "Tani,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} as uperstar you are!"

Recently, Tani and his family {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(decide) to give away all the money. "Thanks to others' help, we live a much {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy) life than before, "Tani's father said. "Now we want to help poor people. "
