The best experience of my life was when we went to Stonehenge. We went there on a group tour.

    When I saw Stonehenge, my first 1 was that it was huge. You know, Stonehenge is about 5, 000 years old. I 2 how the ancient people moved these huge pieces of stone. After we parked(停车) at the Stonehenge parking lot, our guide Nick took us to a 3shop. There my mum got a nice painting of Stonehenge. After we left the gift shop, we went to Stonehenge 4the tunnel.

    That was a privilege(优惠待遇)at Stonehenge 5we were able to go right up to the stones and touch them. Usually visitors 6get really close and touch the stones. At Stonehenge we walked around the circle and then 7the ceremonial(仪式的) centre. There we were given half a(n) 8 to look around and explore.9 30 minutes we got ready to leave. It was 10 that we had to leave Stonehenge.

    Hopefully, one day I'll go back.

A beautiful smile

    When I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.

    It was the early autumn of my 1 year at a new school. It's also the first year of middle school. No one knew me. I was very 2, and afraid to make friends with anyone.

    Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.

    One day, my classmates were 3 with their friends, but I sat in silence(沉默) and felt so down that everything didn't sound real. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, 4.

    Suddenly, I felt the 5 of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure(宝藏).

    That smile 6 my life. I started to talk with other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friends now, and we stick together like glue. I can talk to her about my study, feelings and hobbies, pretty much everything. I am so 7 that I met such a nice girl.

    One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!

    Now I believe that the world is like a 8. It is just what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. But if you smile at it, it will always smile back!

Hello, everyone! I am a reporter from the local newspaper in my town. I've loved radio ever since I first stepped into a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(录制室;录音室) at 12. When I was in college, I got a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(兼职的) job at a local radio station. I wrote {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(文章;报道) and sometimes I also carried out interviews. One day, when I arrived at the radio station, I found Shirley, our {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (主管), was waiting for me. She told me that David was ill and she wanted me to be a presenter that day.

"I'm afraid I might make a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(凌乱) of the job,"I said.

"Don't worry, Jane. I know you can make it,"Shirley said.

"OK. I'll give it a try,"I could {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(几乎不) believe I said"OK".

"Remember, when the red light is on, it means we're on air. And you must {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(避免) making any noise."

When the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (背景) music was played, I started talking. "It{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(看来;似乎) everything went well," I thought to myself after I finished the programme.

"You did a good job, Jane. You're popular with our {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(听众) from the feedback (反馈的意见) we've already received."

Bejing, the capital of China , is popular with visitors from all over the world. Many foreigners come here and have their own 1 stories. Ella Kidron is one of the examples.

Ella Kidron, a manager of a company, 2 her running story in a short video. It is just about two minutes and becomes the best among all the short 3 about"100 Reasons( 理由) to Love Beijing". For her, it's running. Running in Beijing is interesting because it brings her a lot of4 . She can always find something new. At first, she usually got lost when she came to China. However , she 5 more than before through running. Every day, she runs in order to enjoy everything after 6 , like exercising to protect her knees. She finds many things are different from those of her home town, New York. Sometimes, she stops to talk with the local people about7 places, such as the Great Wall. The people in Bejing are very nice and kind. They often tell her where she can eat delicious food. She can also 8 some friends who have the same interests as her. Besides, she notices there are still some 9 parts like hutongs as the city develops fast.

Living in Beijing for 5 years, Kidron learns about not only its history but also its 10 . For example , the buildings are much higher than before. She thinks her story in this city just begins.

 Mencius(孟子) was one of the great minds in history. It is sald that he1 near a school and gained a love of learning there. His book, Mencius, was one of the most2 books in history. The book was on Confucian philosophy (儒家哲学) There are many 3 about young Mencius. Here is one.

 When Mencius and his mother were living near the market, there were many people selling meat. His mother made a living by weaving(织) and 4 the cloth. She made little money and wasn't able to 5 meat.

 One day, on his way home, Mencius heard one of his neighbors killing a pig. He6 ran home and asked his mother, "Why does he7 his pig?" His mother, who was busy with her chores, answered without thinking, "So that you can have meat in your meal." Mencius was8 and clapped his hands, "I can eat meat!"

 Seeing that Mencius was so happy, his mother felt sorry for lying to her son."Having no meat to eat is not a big deal, but it would be9 if he learns to lie from me," she thought. To make up for her10 , his mother brought a piece of meat with the little money she had and cooked it for him.
