Today I took part in a quiz show at a TV studio. When I arrived at  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eighth) o[clock, a woman put make-up on my face, and brushed my hair.

 Then the director came. He told me to stay {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (relax) and not to worry. It was really kind of him to do that. The hot lights shone down upon {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (we). One of the contestants passed out before the show started, so the director  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (choose) another girl. The girl was called Angela. She knew a lot of  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (thing). She beat me and another contestant and finally won the prize. Everyone was happy for Angela.

 I was sorry I didn't win, but I'll do{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (well) next time.

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it{#blank#}1{#/blank#} our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest {#blank#}2{#/blank#}activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This {#blank#}3{#/blank#} money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a long time. We should look after them{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they will last and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.
Recycle means "change things into something else". Although it takes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your{#blank#}10{#/blank#} and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

    Eating in Western restaurant is a little different from eating in Chinese ones. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to understand the differences and to act politely. As their saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

    When you first arrive at the restaurant, you should wait for the waiter to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you to a table. Sometimes it is all right to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a table for yourself, but you should ask {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In the Western restaurant, each person usually asks for their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} food or dishes and eats {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they ask for. Western people don't put all of the food in the middle of the table to share.

    One of the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} differences between Chinese restaurants and Western ones is that most Chinese restaurants are noisy, but most Western restaurants are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and people there speak in a low voice. Don't shout to the waiters, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people may think that you are rude.

    If you need help, you should try to ask with your eyes {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of your voice. It's better not to put up your hand, either.

    English people are famous for their humour (幽默). {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main thing to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is that English people often use understatement.

    Understatement means saying less{#blank#}3{#/blank#}you think or feel. For example, if {#blank#}4{#/blank#}gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp (潮湿的) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}" Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people might say, "He isn't exactly friendly." People often use understatement in unpleasant (使人不愉快的) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} or to make another person look silly.

    Also, English people like to make fun of themselves as well as others. The comedy (喜剧) 'Mr Bean' is a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#}example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean always speaks as little as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the comedy. He always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to use his body to make people happy. Maybe what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that people in the real world will never do.

It's {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. His mother can take {#blank#}4{#/blank#} temperature. Have a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}? No, he used this excuse many times. Then he remembers he has a loose(松动的) tooth. Great! Jimmy starts to cry.

    “What's the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}dear son？” his mom asks.

    “Mom, I have a bad {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. I can't go to school.”

    “{#blank#}8{#/blank#} your mouth and let me have a look. Oh, one of your teeth is loose. Don't cry. I'll call the dentist.”

    Jimmy asks, “{#blank#}9{#/blank#} will you call the dentist？”

    “I'll ask him to pull(拔) the tooth out.”

    “Oh, please, Mom. Don't pull it out. It doesn't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} at all. I have to leave now. I'Il be late.” With these words, Jimmy gets out of bed quickly.

    One day, Tom went out to look for work. He went from place. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} place, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he could not find a job. In the afternoon, he came to a factory. He went into the office building and{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the door of a big room. There he saw a fat man {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at a desk.

    "What do you want?" The man asked. "I am looking for work." answered Tom. "Any kind of work?" the man asked. "Any kind of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , please. I am strong, you see." Tom said.

    The man looked at Tom for a long time and then he said, "We have got enough workers. We want no more. Get out."

    Tom turned around. When he was going to the door, the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} man said, "Look, do you see the man over there?" He pointed to a man outside the window. "I give him five dollars a day. I will only give you four dollars a day. Do you want his job? He is getting old. Of course, I won't give you five dollars a day. I can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} give you four dollars a day."

    For a long time, Tom said nothing. He thought of his wife {#blank#}8{#/blank#} children. But that worker had his wife and children, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}.
