“Equal pay for equal work” is a phrase by the American women who feel they are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fair) treated by society.They think it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the{#blank#}2{#/blank#} amount of work.Some people say men have {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (many) duties than women.A married man has to earn money to support his family and make important {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (decide)，so it is right for them to be paid more.Some are even against married women {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (work) at all.When wives go out to work，they say，the home and children are given no attention {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ．If women are encouraged by equal pay to take up jobs，they will be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (able) to do the things that they are best at doing：making a nice home and bringing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} children.Women who disagree say that they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} freedom to choose between a job and home life，{#blank#}10{#/blank#} a mixture of the two.In fact women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal chances.

    I'd like to talk about the school system in Australia today. The school system in Australia does depend on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you go to a private school or a public school. In the state I'm from, there are a lot of private schools, and generally they are single-sex high schools. The public high schools are generally {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (mix). All of the private high schools insist that you should wear their school uniforms, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that might mean{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wear) a school tie and a school jacket. However, the public high schools often give you a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (choose) of whether you want to wear a uniform or not. The school classes generally start anywhere{#blank#}6{#/blank#} 8:30 and 9 o'clock in the morning and run {#blank#}7{#/blank#} 3:30 in the afternoon, and they're followed by after-school {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (active) like sports and music theater. The school year generally starts in the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (begin) on February, after our summer vacation, which lasts about six weeks around the Christmas period.

    The only thing I don't like about our school system is the idea of the difference in quality of education between the private and the public schools. It remains{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see) whether you can get a better education, even if you are in a private high school. Most of our public high schools are quite good.

    I don't very often have a full day off work. Today I did. I had a leisurely morning, going to the gym, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(walk) the dog, feeding my friend's cat, and thought I would hurry into the office at Job number 2, to fill in my time sheet so I would {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pay) for the hours I have worked. I was thinking that I had worked less hours because the lady I share job with was working instead {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. I prayed then, that somehow we would have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much) money coming in this month and imagined money coming in to my bank account.

    I arrived at the office to see the main secretary looking very pale. She asked what my afternoon {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (plan) were, when I said I had the afternoon free she asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I could work for her, as she had really hurt her back. I was really looking forward to a day off, but she looked in such pain that I said yes straight away. She did a quick handover of what{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) urgent and needed to be done.

    I raced home and got {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(change) into work appropriate clothes and took over. Our boss phoned and thanked me for steeping in so that everything went {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(smooth). Thee unwell person went home, and I got four hours extra pay. It's amazing how {#blank#}10{#/blank#}universe works.

    When people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (face) with health or nutrition questions, it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (increasing) common to go online and diagnose themselves. But the Internet is full of conflicting health warnings with no regulation to get rid of the wrong advice, some of which {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) extremely dangerous! Also, search engines rank results by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (popular) rather than accuracy, so solid facts can be tricky to find. It is worth {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (check) if the writer of an online piece is properly qualified as an expert. Anyone can call {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) a "diet expert", "nutritionist" and even a "doctor" — given it could refer to qualifications like a PhD. But remember, only officially {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (recognize) practicing doctors as well as dietitians have degrees in giving medical {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (suggest). So if you are unsure and still wondering {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the chocolate diet really does work or not, then it pays to make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} appointment with your dietician or doctor. The truth is out there, and you just need to look in the right place!

    No one knows exactly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the earth began. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a "Big Bang". Then the dust {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(settle) into a solid globe. As the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface. Many {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(science) believe that it was the presence of water that allowed the earth to dissolve {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(harm) gases and acids into oceans and seas, which made it possible for life to develop.

    Millions of years later, the first small plants appeared on the surface of the water. Their development {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(follow) by early shellfish, all sorts of fish, green plants and land animals. Reptiles {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(produce) young generally by laying eggs while mammals gave birth to young baby animals. Dinosaurs existed on the earth for over 140 million years before they suddenly disappeared. The reason {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they disappeared still remains a mystery.

    Finally, humans appeared and spread all over the earth. But they are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(escape) from the earth into space. As a result of this, people believe the earth may become too hot to live on. So {#blank#}10{#/blank#} life will continue on the earth will depend on how this problem can be solved.
