I was raised in New York City where it's very cold every winter. In the sixth grade, a teacher offered {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bring) some students to a homeless shelter after school. I went with my friends and the teacher for several weeks. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I continued to volunteer to help when they stopped going together. Because I was good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} sewing, I was told to help out with the sewing kit when any guests needed some repairs. Throughout high school I continued to come each week after school, setting up my sewing kit which {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (grow) larger and larger. I got to know the guests who came {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (regular).

    Later on, I started {#blank#}6{#/blank#}sewing club with my friend and we taught {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (we) fellow students how to sew. We made heart-shaped pillows for sick {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (child) and the elderly. Every time it rained I would think about the umbrellas {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (design) before. In the future I hope to continue helping others as much as I can. It is the most important thing I{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) ever since.

    Two businessmen{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (fly) to Australia to play in a weekend golf match. Their team won and they both received green jackets. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}their last night in Australia, they stayed up late drinking beer. They were still drunk in the morning, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they drove their rented car to the airport. The road was empty. Suddenly, something jumped in front of the car. The driver couldn't stop in time and the car hit it.

    The men got out of the car and found a large kangaroo{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (lie) on the road. The drunken men began to laugh and decided to take some photos with the “dead” kangaroo. One of the men decided to put the jacket on{#blank#}5{#/blank#} kangaroo. So they dressed the poor kangaroo in a green jacket. Then they posed with it for some photos. Suddenly, something amazing happened. The kangaroo opened {#blank#}6{#/blank#} eyes. It was not dead. But it was very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (anger). The kangaroo hit the two men and knocked them out. Then it ran {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.In the kangaroo's new green jacket were the car keys, a passport, and the air tickets.

    Later that day, a motorist phoned the police. “You're {#blank#}9{#/blank#}going to believe this,” he said, “but a kangaroo in a green golf jacket{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (run) along the road to the airport!” The police finally found out the whole story, and they punished the two drunken men.

    According to a recent survey, violence did {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(existence) in schools. Students showed their fear and parents and teachers also expressed their great concern about it. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (obvious), it's time for the whole society to pay more attention to the mental health of adolescents (青少年).

    Nowadays, school violence is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}hot issue. I think this is a phenomenon (现象) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} calls for our great concern. We should try every effort to prevent violence from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(happen) at school, for more and more students would drop out of school {#blank#}6{#/blank#}their personal safety could not be ensured. In fact, violence can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(learn). Children learn violent behavior from adults or from {#blank#}8{#/blank#}they see on television or on the Internet.

    If I meet with school violence, I will not answer violence {#blank#}9{#/blank#}violence, for it will result in more fighting. I will tell my teachers or parents about it. I think they will help me deal with it well and they will protect me from the bad guys.

All in all, every student {#blank#}10{#/blank#}behave himself and keep away from violence.

    People {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large dictionary, for example, contains four {#blank#}3{#/blank#}five hundred thousand words. But we do not need {#blank#}4{#/blank#}these. To read short stories you need to know only about two thousand words. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}you leave school, you will learn only one thousand or more.

    The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (big). Read as many books as we can. There are a lot of books {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(write) in easy English. You will enjoy them. When you meet{#blank#}8{#/blank#}new word, look it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (much) useful book.

    Reggie was a normal boy, but he had been born deaf. He was well known to everyone in town, and they were all very fond of him. Unfortunately, he always seemed to be treated {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (different) from everyone else.

    Reggie didn't like this very much. But the person {#blank#}2{#/blank#} disliked this most was his friend Michael. Michael decided that things had to change. So he managed to persuade other people in town {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (choose) one day of the festival for deaf people this year. During that whole day everyone in town would have to wear earplugs( 耳塞). The day {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (call) The Day of Silence, and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears. As the hours passed, people began to realize {#blank#}5{#/blank#} difficult life was for the deaf. Soon no one was thinking of Reggie as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} deaf person. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) his usual gestures, Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. They were surprised at his ability to find solutions {#blank#}8{#/blank#} almost any problem. They realized all Reggie needed was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) time than others to communicate. That was the only difference.

    It was on this day {#blank#}10{#/blank#} everyone realized they have to give people a chance to show how useful they are.

    China is leading the world in facial recognition algorithms（人脸识别算法）. It is reported that its best algorithm can recognize l0 million people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a single mistake in less than a second.

    The top five of the 39 facial recognition algorithms in the word come from China, according to a test, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} released the results for 2018 last Friday. YITU Technology, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Shanghai-based company that claimed both the top and second spot on the list, said that its top algorithm is able {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （recognize）nearly every person in a sample base of 10 million. However, "it is very likely for a human brain to make {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （mistake） in recognizing the identities of 100 people," the company said. Algorithms from Beijing-based company Sense Time {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （win） the third and fourth spot, while the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology（SIAT）claimed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （five） in the test. YITU said that high facial recognition accuracy（精确）means that users gain {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （good） experiences when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （use） related products. For example, when a user uses facial ID for payment on a smartphone, it will not authorize the payment for someone else with a similar {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （appear）as the user, the company noted.
