When I was three years old just before my sister was born, my mom asked me what we should
name the new baby. I said, “Let’s call 26 Gravy(肉汁)!”
You know, we pour gravy over meat and it tastes good! My parents found my 27
interesting, but named the new baby Caroline, instead.
Having a sister 28 my life. When my sister and I played together, we 29 got into
fights and got angry with each other if we did 30 wrong. It sometimes drove our parents
crazy. 31 at the same time, we learned to share our things and to forgive(原谅) each other
when we got 32 .

At six o’clock Andy’s favourite programme, “Travel with us”, was on TV. Andy wanted to
get home in 36 for that. But then, just as he was leaving his office a little 37 , a man rang up
and kept speaking for the next fifteen minutes. “I can 38 get home in time if I hurry,” Andy
told himself as he 39 out of the office. As he drove off in his car, he 40 that there was little
petrol(汽油)left. “I’ll have to stop at Fenton’s, ” Andy thought. He 41 Fenton’s because one
should get petrol by oneself at this station. “You do all the work yourself, but you pay 42 for

My son Joey was born with club feet*. The doctors said that with treatment he would be able to
walk, but would never run very well. The first three years of his life was 31 in hospital. By
the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he has a problem when you saw him 32 .
Children in our neighborhood always ran around 33 their play, and Joey would jump
and ran and play, 34 . We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be 35 to run like the
other children. So he didn’t know.
In 36 grade he decided to join the school running team. Every day he trained. He ran
more than any of the others, 37 only the top seven runners would be chosen to run for the
38 . We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
He ran four to five mile every day — even when he had a fever. I was 39 , so I went to
40 him after school. I found him running 41 . I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He
has two more miles to go. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept 42 .
Two weeks later, the names of the team 43 were caked. Joey was number six on the
list. Joey had 44 the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all
eighth graders. We never told him he couldn’t do it … so he didn’t know. He just 45 it.

Once upon a time,there was a child ready to be born.So 41 he asked God,”they tellme you
are sending me to 42,but being SO small and helpless, 43 am I going to live there?”
“44 the many angels(天使),I chose one for you.She will be waiting for you and willtake
care of you.”God replied.
‘'But here in Heaven(天堂),I do 45 else but sing and smile!That’S enough for me to be
happy.”
God said,‘‘Your angel will sing and smile for you every day.And you will feel your angel’S
love and be 46.”
The child said,“And how am I going tO be able to understand when people talk to me 47 I
don’t know the language that men speak?”
God told the child,‘‘Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will
ever hear,and with 48 atience(耐心)and care,your angel will teach you 51.”
The child said,“I’ve 50 that on the earth there are bad men.who wil protect me?”
God said,“Your angel will protect you 51 it means risking her hfe(冒生命危险).”
“But l will always be sad because l will not see you any more.”
“Your angel will always talk to you about 52 and in fact,1 will always be next tO you.”
At the moment there was much peace( 静 寂 )in Heaven , but voices from the earth
couldalready be heard,and the child,in a hurry,asked,‘'Oh,God,if I am about to 53
now,please tell me my angel’S 54!”
“It is not hard to remember,”God repfied 55.“You will call your angel Mommy.”

We sometimes call the lion “the king of the jungle (丛林)” because it is stronger and more
dangerous than other animals. It can 41 faster than many animals and it can hunt (捕猎) the
best. It is the highest animal in the 42 food chain (食物链).
In the sea, the shark is one of the animals at the 43 of the food chain. It can swim faster
than 44 other sea animals, and it can use its big teeth to eat them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain? 45 are! We are not the biggest or fastest,
but we are the 46 . We could not run faster than cheetahs (猎豹), so we 47 cars and
now we can move the fastest. We could not 48 better than lions, so we invented guns (枪).
Now we can hunt the best.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be 49 , too. For example, people invented
50 , and now they make the air and rivers dirty. This can make 51 changes. Dirty rivers
kill fish. 52 bears cannot eat the fish and the bears die. If we kill one part of the food chain,
53 also die. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, 54 we are in danger too! If
we protect animals, we are protecting 55 ! We should and we could do something for the
world!

Life is not easy, so I'd like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself. "
When I was a young boy, I was (46) shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often (47) me.
I was sad but could do nothing. Later, (48) happened,and it changed my life. It was an English
speech contest. My mother asked me to (49) it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak
(50) all the teachers and students of my school!
"Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to (51). " Then mother and I talked
about many different topics. At last I (52) the topic "Believe in yourself". I tried my best to
remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 (53). With my mother's great love, I did
(54) in the contest. I could hardly believe my (55) when the news came that I had won the
first place. I heard the cheers (赞美) (56) the teachers and students. Those classmates (57)
once looked down on (瞧不起) me, now all said "Congratulations!" (58) me. My mother
hugged me and cried excitedly.
(59) then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell (60) to be
sure and I will find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.

Music and Behavior
Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear 41 at any of those places? Today most stores
and restaurants play music. You might 42 hear music in an office or on a farm.
Scientists believe that music changes the 43 people behave(举止). According to some
scientists, the sound of western classical (古典的) music makes people 44 richer. When a
restaurant plays classical music, people spend 45 money on food and drinks. When the
restaurant plays 46 music, people spend less money. With 47 music, people spend even less.
Scientists also 48 that loud, fast music makes people eat faster, In fact, people 49 their
food faster when the music gets faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their 50 hours.
This gets people to eat faster and leave quickly. Restaurants 51 make spend even less.
Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say 52 music helps
students to be more active. It is true that people learn better when they are 53 . And listening to
music can help you relax.

“What’s the matter, mum?”
As soon as I enter the door, I find that my mother is 36 . It’s unusual –she usually 37

“She’s dying,”mum says sadly. I 38 what she says. The tulip (郁金香),mother’s 39
is dying.
A month ago, we moved 40 our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum
liked it very much. 41 she was free, she would sit 42 her armchair beside the tulip and
enjoys its beautiful colour 43 inviting smell.
She treated it like a baby and looked after it 44 . She put the tulip by window and moved it
from one place to 45 to give the tulip enough sunshine. The first thing she did when she 46
every morning was 47 the tulip, Mum also fertilized(施肥)it many times.
She hoped that with great care, the tulip would become more and more beautiful and 48 .
But the tulip was dying 49 too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.

had broken down. Just then a poor man named Robert came. He was on his 42 back home

Robert came home later than before, thinking how 53 their life was. His wife was

For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister
Alice and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a 26 to Father Christmas, telling him
about all the presents we 27 . We carefully posted the letter to“Father Christmas, the North
pole”…
Christmas Eve came, The whole family helped to 28 the house, put up the Christmas tree
and blow up the balloons. Then, in the afternoon, when Aunt Kate and my two cousins arrived,
29 was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some wine and meat for Father Christmas and
then put our 30 at the end of our beds. We tried to keep 31 as long as possible to see
Father Christmas, but the next thing we knew it was 32 -Christmas morning!
We couldn’t wait to 33 the stocking. It was now full of all kinds of small present and
sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny. After going to church, my cousin David and I
went out into the garden to 34 our new present. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch!
Delicious turkey with all the vegetables followed by fruits and ice creams.
35 lunch, Father, Mother and Aunt rested on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on
TV. We took out the toys, put on the funny paper hats, laughed at the jokes and played
36 .Then came the afternoon tea and a large 37 cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t
seem possible, 38 we still went on eating. By bedtime all of the children were very 39 . As

I stood in the doorway, watching my older brother carefully putting clothes into his bag. I coughed
uneasily. Finally realizing that I was there, Rocky turned toward me 41 a sad smile.
“I’m 42 tomorrow,” he said.
“I know.” My 43 was almost a whisper. I was angry at 44 for being so weak,
but I wasn’t about to cry.
“My 45 is early, so there is still enough time to come to the airport,” he said. Seeing
the sad look on my face, he quickly added, “I 46 I won’t leave without saying goodbye.”
I tried to say 47 , but didn’t. It’s always better to 48 if you’re about to cry.
“You promised you wouldn’t cry,” he said to me, thinking that I was close to tears.
I remember the day he 49 me how to ride a bike. At first I thought he was always
right behind me, holding the seat to keep me from 50 . I was happy with this, but he knew
he 51 hold me up all my life. He told me that one day he would have to leave.
His coughing stopped my 52 . What was left to say? 53 could I say goodbye
to the person who taught me everything?
The next morning I 54 , looked at my alarm clock, and realized he had left 55
before. We never even said goodbye.
Goodbye, Rocky! Although he may have been many miles away, I knew he heard me, even if
it was only an answer in his heart.

My Life,as it really is,is always filled with sadness and little joy.However,no matter
whathappens,I can always face it 36.
In July,last year,l couldn’t believe the 37 that 1 was allowed to enter the 0nly key high

as 39as 1 was.He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head d6wn
and couldn’thelp crying.

couldn’t afford my tuition fee(学费).I felt so upset at that moment but I could say 42 to my
parents.

schooling.
To my surprise,things completely 44 just three days before the beginning of the new
term.45 head teacher who had taught me three years came to my family with some money,which
had been 46 by my schoolmates。He encouraged me,“Always have a dream。”
At the same time,my father also earned some extra money 47 he could afford part of my
tuition fee.
I knew 1 was such a lucky dog and 48to study harder in return.With tears in my eyes,I
stepped into the key high school that I had dreamed of.
I have been studying hard since I entered the high sch001.Whenever I meet difficulties,I
always 49.my teacher and schoolmates,and I can 50 get enough courage(勇气)to go
on.Because I have a college dream and must work hard for it no matter how hard life is.Just as

Peggy Cardona parked her blue Nissan at a supermarket one day in February 1997. “I’ll come
and open the door for you,” she told her four-year-old grandson, Ryan Eshleman, in the back seat.
Before Cardona could even 41 her door, the car moved ahead. “Nana, the car is 42 !”
Ryan cried. Cardona jumped into the driver’s 43 and reached for the handbrake(手闸), her left
leg stepping outside, trying to stop the car. She couldn’t find the brake, and she 44 the car as it
moved down the steep slope(陡坡) toward a pond eet way. 45 Ryan cried “Nana!” as the car
fell into the pond and the water began pouring in.
“Help!” Cardona cried as the car moved 46 the bank. “My grandson is inside!”
A supermarket clerk, Clint Fountain, 24, had just stepped outside for a break when he saw a
47 gathering by the pond. He jumped down the slope and dived into the cold water.
Reaching the car, Fountain saw Ryan’s terrified face just inches( 英 寸 ) 48 the water.
“Unlock the door!” Fountain shouted. The boy’s fingers fumbled(未触到) with the lock.
Fountain hit on the back 49 , but the glass wouldn’t break. Another man Dick McClung
dived in and handed him a hammer(锤子). Grabbing it, Fountain told the boy to move aside, and
broke the glass. His hands went 50 the broken window in the black water and pulled the boy
51 . At that moment the last flash of the blue car 52 under the water.
“Climb onto my back,” Fountain said. Ryan did so, but the 53 man couldn’t swim back.
McClung, 54 beside them in the water, picked up Ryan and swam to the bank. 55 , doctors
found Ryan had got only a little hypothermia(体温过低).
“They risked their lives to save Ryan,” Cardona said of the men. “I thank God every day for
them.”

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a 36 way that people in the United States meet
each other. But “How are you?” is also a very 37 question. It’s a question that often
38 have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “ 39 ”,
even though the person’s friend isn’t fine, 40 “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and
“Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” and “ 41 ”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say just what they 42 . For example, when someone asks,
“Do you agree?” the other person might be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you’re wrong.”
But it isn’t very 43 to say so, so the other person might say, “I’m not so 44 .” It’s a
nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say just what they are thinking when they 45 talking with other
people. For example, many talks over the phone 46 when one person says “I’ve got to go
now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” “I’ve
got to put the things 47 .” “Something is burning on the 48 .” The excuse might be
real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk
49 , but it isn’t very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other
person’s 50 .
