Having been occupied with her graduation exam for a month, Bonnie Rivers passed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} finally. But unfortunately, though {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (die)to get it on her own, she could not collect her certificate, because the building {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the graduation ceremony was being held was not wheelchair {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (access). So she had to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (accompany) by her friend, who then came to Bonnie's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (assist) while she waited outside. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} situation would not have happened {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a qualified architect had designed a building with wheelchair access. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is often the case, the rights of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (disable) are not taken seriously.

    We high school students do have some growing pains，but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}，some of us are upset {#blank#}2{#/blank#} our body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all.We needn't care about it.It is one's inner beauty {#blank#}3{#/blank#} matters. Second，we sometimes seem to be misunderstood {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our teachers，parents and classmates.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (face) with this，we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them，trying to remove the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (understand)．Some of us have fewer friends.I think being open-minded and friendly will do us good. Third，we may fall behind others,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to work efficiently，full of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (determine)． At last，some of us don't have much pocket money，so we feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some，that's enough. And we can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to spend money.

    There are about 100 million middle-aged women dancing in parks and on squares in China, and Deborah Roundy,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} U.S retired school teacher, is one of them.

    Mrs. Roundy is the only foreigner on the Shanghai dance team at Tongji University, where she is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (current) teaching English.

    Mrs. Roundy ran upon a dozen or so middle-aged women dancing {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the tunes of Chinese songs in 2012. At the time, she didn't feel used to the new environment and wanted to have some fun in her life. She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (invite) to join the dancing team.

    At first, Mrs. Roundy communicated with her teammates by{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exchange) notes to help translate for her. Now she uses a translation app on her iPad.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the Chinese language is not the most difficult thing for her, mastering Chinese dance is. Mrs. Roundy used to do ballet. She said {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(dance) in the U.S. always dance facing the audience. But in China, they change directions all the time, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} was very confusing for her at first.

    They have developed good personal relations. Mrs. Roundy says they also go out to eat and on field trips together, which are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(forget ) experiences for her.

    Square dancing opens a window for her {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（understand） China, Mrs. Roundy said: Besides dancing, she and her husband have been active in community life, teaching English, and helping elderly neighbors.

    The party began shortly after nine. Mr. Wood, who lived in the flat below, sighed to himself as he heard {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （excite） voices and the noisy music. Luckily, he had brought some work home from the office, with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the noise overhead. But by eleven o'clock he felt tired and was ready to go to bed though from his {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（early） experience he knew it was no use{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（try） to get to sleep. He undressed and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（lie） for a while in bed, trying to read, but he found himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off {#blank#}7{#/blank#} light and buried his head in the pillow. But even so he could not shut off the noise. Finally, after{#blank#}8{#/blank#} seemed hours, his patience was gone.

    He jumped out of bed, put on some clothing, marched firmly up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor's apartment. The owner of the apartment came across the room and, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, "My dear fellow, come and join us. I know our parties would trouble you. I meant to send you an invitation." Mr. Wood's anger disappeared then and there. He said, "I'd better go and get changed." Minutes later, he returned,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（proper） dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

    Many elephants can paint. In fact, elephants in zoos sometimes draw on the ground{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a stick. Seeing this, some trainers teach the elephants{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they can hold paintbrushes, and encourage them to choose colors and paint. Of course, not every painting is good. Just like humans, only some elephants are very creative. Now, an online gallery sells paintings by these elephant artists. By doing this, the gallery hopes to earn money{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(protect) elephants.
