Long time ago, a boy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) Bob met a new friend in QQ, she is Larry.   Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009, Larry was traveling along 165 north after delivering to one of his customers when he saw a car{#blank#}2{#/blank#}its bright lights on. As he got even{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(close), he found another vehicle upside down on the road. One more look{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he noticed fire shooting out {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(repeat) from under the disabled vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and got hold of the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(put) out.

    The man who had his bright lights on came over and told Larry he had made a call. They then heard a woman's voice coming from the damaged vehicle.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (approach) the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay still, but she thought the car was going to explode. Larry told her that he had already put out the fire.

    Once fire and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(emergent) people arrived, Larry and the other man backed off and let them go to work. Then, Larry asked the police {#blank#}9{#/blank#}he was needed or free to go. They let him and the other man go.

    One thing is for certain—It {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) his efforts that most likely saved the woman's life.

    I lost my last debate in the recent National High School Academic Debate & Speech Tournament held in Shanghai. But instead of focusing on my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(fail), I stopped to reflect on my experiences in the past few years {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a debater.

    In general, preparing for new debate topics usually {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (include) brainstorming arguments, researching a resolution（解决）, and doing debate practice. So if you spot a debating group, you might see us sitting together after school, or even all day at weekends, discussing arguments and researching evidence. You might also notice us arguing {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(fierce) anywhere we can.

    Not only are they supportive, but my debate friends also have similar passions and interests to mine. As we discuss debate topics, my fellow debaters and I can talk about anything, from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}best way of rehabilitating（改造）criminals to the negative points of free immigration policies. However, our discussions are more than just a way {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (practice) our debating skills. In my mind, they're helping us to become calm and consider {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(win) and solving real problems as well.

    To me, the debating community is a great place{#blank#}8{#/blank#}people help each other not only because they're interested in a higher cause, but because they care about how people from different {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(background) can lead better lives. I'm grateful to each of my debate friends and every single minute we get to spend together. Indeed, my high school life would be incomplete without them. So even though I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(defeat) in my last debate, I'm still thankful for being part of my wonderful debate family.

    This is a meaningful and impressive story. A man came to the USA. After settling down at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}island, he went into a cafeteria to get something {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (eat). He sat down at an empty table {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (silent) and waited for someone to take his order, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sit) opposite him and informed him {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the cafeteria worked. “Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end, they'll tell you how much you have to pay.”

    “I soon learned how everything worked in the USA,” the man told a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rely) friend. He said, “Life's a cafeteria here. You can get anything as long as you are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (will) to pay the price.”

    You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (you). You can't change the things that you can't avoid or prevent. The only thing you can do is control your attitude. Once you reach that point in life, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (achieve) won't be too far away.

    Nearly all of us have dreamed about winning the big prize in a lottery(彩票). We dream about {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we would do with the money, but we seldom stop to think about how the money would change us.

    For most of us, our way of life is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (close) connected with our social economy. The different parts of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} lives fit together like a jigsaw(拼板) — work, home, friends, hobbies and sports make up our world.  A sudden fortune would change it all and break the jigsaw. For example, some people like the idea {#blank#}4{#/blank#} not having to work, but winners have found that without work there is no reason to get up in the morning. It seems great {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (move) to a bigger house in a wealthy area, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} if you do that, you leave old friends behind.

    Usually, winners {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (advise) not to make their addresses and phone numbers known, but begging letters still arrive. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they are not careful, most of their money will be spent {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (protect) of their possessions(财产).
