    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} attracts tourists to Dubai are tax-free shopping, dry weather, excellent accommodations, delicious food and beaches that go on for miles. In fact, some foreigners come here only {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (experience) the shopping. There are dozens of shopping malls, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (provide) every famous brand you can name.

Certainly, there are also other great places of interest to visit.

    Indeed, travelling around this country will {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) give you an amazing experience because of its interesting things {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (offer) to all types of tourists.

    A big fire broke out in a clothing factory in our city last Wednesday. At 9:18 that morning, when the employees were working {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (busy) in the 4-storeyed building, heavy smoke was seen {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(come) out of the windows on the second floor. The fire lasted nearly an hour, and the majority of the 345 employees managed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(escape) from the fire. Unfortunately, 7were killed, and 23 injured, lightly or seriously.

    Some workers {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(complain) that aids came too late,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the firemen did come just 10 minutes after the fire was reported. To rescue everyone from the burning and smoking building in such a short time was too difficult. The only two exits of the big building were not enough for so many people to withdraw in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hurry.

    The reason of the fire, according to an investigator, was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}someone broke the non-smoking rule in the factory, because some cigarette {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(end) were found. Next two weeks, 15 inspection teams will be working in all the factories {#blank#}9{#/blank#} turn, aiming to clear away the possibility of more fires.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope), no disasters like this will happen again.

    I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me. I said hello {#blank#}2{#/blank#} him, smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought, "Why not offer him a piece of chocolate？" So I did. He was quite {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (surprise), but accepted and thanked me. He said that people didn't usually do things like this for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strange) and at least that was what I understood, because he was speaking a really {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (usual) dialect.

    Then he opened one of his bags and gave me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} handful of freshly picked cherries, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) that he had just taken them from his orchard. The cherries were really lovely, better than those in the shops, and I enjoyed them very much. It had been just an impulse (冲动) to offer him a piece of chocolate, but if I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (not do) so, I would never have tasted those lovely cherries, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I didn't even know he had at the time. Life is about giving and taking, and it's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (general) true that if you give, you will receive.

    Hi, I've got something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (excite) to tell you. I was in an elevator yesterday and saw Robin Drexel, the famous movie star! I just stood there, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (freeze). I couldn't say a word. But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of a sudden, she turned to me, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (say), "Hello" too. Then she asked me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the restaurant was on the fifth floor, I told her I was going to the restaurant {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (my), and I offered to show her where it was. She said, "Oh, fine." Then she said, "Why don't we have lunch together?" Imagine! I never thought I would have lunch with a movie star! But I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do)! We had lunch together and talked for about half {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hour. She even paid for my lunch! Can you imagine? But that isn't all. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} lunch, she asked me if she could give me a ride to somewhere. I told her I was going home. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} she took me home in her big, black limousine (豪华轿车). It was an exciting day. That's all for now. I've got to run!

    Recently Lindsay hasn't felt herself. She was a really good student, but her grades {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fall) since three months ago. This is because she sometimes has trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (concentrate) on her study. She also refuses {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talk) with teachers and friends. What's worse, she feels {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tire)all the time but has difficulty in falling asleep. Her behavior attracts her mother's attention. Her mother asks her what {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happen)to her, but she just cries.

    As a matter of fact, Lindsay is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (suffer) from clinical depression(临床抑郁症).What is clinical depression? It can be described as a mood which is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} low that it affects your daily life {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (serious).The first signs of it in teens are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (poor) school  reports  than before, learning difficulties and staying away from  classmates and teachers. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you have these signs, don't worry. It is not so difficult to deal with clinical depression. There are many effective ways, such as medicine, small talk, more exercise and a balanced diet.
