    This cough syrup is effective to me. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(use) it whenever I have minor coughing since the flu broke out. It helps sooth the coughing. I like to take a soup spoon full of the syrup in my mouth and let the syrup melt down my food pipe {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(effort). I take it as much as I need. This is great stuff. Mostly it's the honey in {#blank#}8{#/blank#}that helps you talk again, but it tastes delicious too.

      A Chinese market in New York City where the syrup is sold {#blank#}9{#/blank#} $7.80. That's the price of a Chinese pharmacy;{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the syrup is sold as much as $70 online through third parties, the Wall Street Journal said.

    While the Greens went to the theatre, they left their German dog to guard his home. When two burglars broke into and the burglar alarm rang, the dog was waiting for them. Unfortunately, one of the burglars was dog-lover, and he quickly made friends with it. While the alarm was ringing, but the burglars were stealing cash and jewelry, worth over $10,000 from a safe, the dog lied down in its basket and went to sleep. When the police arrived at twenty minutes later, the burglars have gone. The dog was proud guarding the empty safe. When the first policeman entered the room, it immediately attacked him, tearing his trousers and bit him in the leg.

    Joris Hutchison, 10 years old, of Seattle, has worked hard all year to save cheetahs（猎豹）from the very real threat of extinction. He has raised more than $14,000 to purchase GPS devices, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} follow and protect the animals. He earns money by selling lemonade, flowers and T-shirts, and by {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(organize) skating parties and a garage sale. What moved the public {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) that Joris donated all that he raised to a wildlife conservation organization and shelter in Namibia where he and his mother have volunteered for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} past three summers.

    As the group's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(young) of all the volunteers, Joris prepares food, cleans enclosures（围场）, and creates improvement {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(item) for the cheetahs that live there, all of whom {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(injure) or raised by human beings in the past. The shelter protects cheetahs in the wild by convincing farmers not {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shoot) the animals and instead, to allow the ones accused {#blank#}9{#/blank#} killing farm animals to be fixed with GPS devices. “I've learned that everyone can make a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(different), even if you're just a kid!” Joris told Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. “You just have to start somewhere.”

    I will never forget the day when I went to a coming-of age ceremony. Last month, an unforgettable adult ceremony {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) for all the senior 3 students in our school. It began at half past two in the afternoon. Decorated by colorful flowers and balloons, the stadium looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fantastic) beautiful. All of us students were dressed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} school uniforms with red ribbons on our wrists, showing the energy of youth. We walked into the stadium in high spirits. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (accompany) by our parents. Our principal delivered {#blank#}5{#/blank#}inspiring speech at first, and we received {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (congratulate) from our teachers. During the ceremony, we expressed our heart-felt gratitude to our parents by{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bow) to them. I was moved to tears when I got a photo album from my parents, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} reminded me of my happy childhood. In the end, we raised our right hands and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) a serious promise to become reliable and honest citizens. As far as I'm concerned, the ceremony indicates that we should take on more responsibilities to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (independence) and get away from the shelter of our family.

    Confucius(孔子) is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#} setting the tone for much traditional Chinese music for thousands of years. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) to be a music teacher and a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talent) musician who was able to play several instruments expertly. Perhaps for other people around the world, music was meant mainly for amusement.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500 BC, music had an important role in making society stable.

    How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate) somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.

    Musical knowledge was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (subject) to study, ranking music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.

    Music was so important because the ideal society was to be governed by ritual (礼制) functions, but not by law. In a culture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people function according to ritual, music is used to help govern them. So music wasn't really {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain), but a means for musicians to accomplish political and social goals. Music is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eventual) a means for social happiness.

    Out of the 20 little things you've always wondered about, one of them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (probable) has to do with the small {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (five) pocket on your jeans. By now, you might have given up on trying to use it since it's too small to fit anything you actually need. But why is it there in the first place? Well, today, it doesn't really serve {#blank#}3{#/blank#} purpose, but it used to in the late 1800s.

    Actually the small pocket is called a watch pocket because it was originally intended as a safe place for men to store their pocket {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (watch). It {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (date) back to Levis first ever pair of jeans, which hit the market in 1879.

    The Levi Strauss blog also pointed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that originally, there were only four pockets on a pair of blue jeans, the watch pocket {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (include). "The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket," the blog stated.

    So next time you find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you) standing casually with your thumb hooked in that small pocket, know that it originally {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (use) to store a pocket watch. And now that we've got to know the tiny jean pocket, find out {#blank#}10{#/blank#} blue is the most common color.
