【10】To many people , 1 the word “work”sounds unpleasant ,not necessarily because they are lazy.The same man, 2 dislikes his job in the factory 3 even in the office ,may work hard at the weekend ,painting the house or digging the garden.

What is the reason ,then ？ 4 most cases ,it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing .It does not give them any real satisfaction .It may be quite easy ,like making up wooden boxes , 5 it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much 6 (large) one ,such as attaching a door handle to a car .But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can 7 say :I have made something !

Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs 8 as cleaning streets 9 this is the way society is organized ,No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day 10 the “dull and boring”jobs.

【11】Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring, with the sun 1 (shine) and birds singing.I 2 (enjoy) the fantastic scenery around 3 something unpleasant caught my eye. A young 4 in a boat were eating, talking and laughing loudly 5 if they were the only people in the world. What's 6 (bad), they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, totally 7 (ignore) the noticeable sign “No Littering”nearby. What a shame!

Such behavior left me deep 8 thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did, the lake will be severely polluted and soon 9 (turn)into a huge dustbin. I think all of us should mind our behavior in public places. 10 in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.

All this reminds me of my mother who has been doing 6 she could to let me have the best. But, totally engaged in my own study, I 7 pay attention to what mother needs and feels, and always think studying well is the only thing I could 8 return. Now I know I can do my bit to help with the everyday washing, bedroom cleaning, or at 9 (little) prepare breakfast myself, so as to share mother’s daily burden.

How can we solve the problems then? As far as I 6 (concern) , bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For 7 ,bicycles are 8 (environment) friendly because they won’t give off waste gas. What’s more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.

He was given uniforms and all 4 things that he would need for the term. He started crying 5 it was time for his parents to leave. He was then taken to the dorm, 6 he saw other children happy. He tried as much as he 7 to fit in but could not because his mind was at home. He started feeling homesick and wanted to go home as soon as possible.

He got sick soon because he could not eat the school food. He could not concentrate 8 the classroom. All he could think was being at home with his family. He had 9 mobile phone or other means to get in touch with his parents. He was angry and felt lonely. He thought his parents hated him and that was 10 they left him in a boarding school.

【15】The story is about 1 Sam felt about his first boarding school life.

2 a child, he never left his parents, so he didn’t get used to

3 (deal) with everything in school independently.

Once I had a similar experience. I finished my junior middle school in a boarding school. At the age of 13, I 4 dealt with the daily things, such as washing clothes, taking care of money etc, 5 I felt lonely because I hardly knew any people. At first, I could not get on well with my classmates and I always looked forward to 6 (be) on holiday to meet my parents. I could not concentrate on my subjects. As time went by, I gradually adapted 7 (me) to the school life. I made several friends with our classmates and often took part in the activities, in which I improved my communicating skills. As I had a lot of interesting things to do, I 8 enjoyed my school life.

Now, 9 I think of my first boarding school life, I think 10 instructive and unforgettable.

【17】Jim, look at this picture! The man seems 1 (look) for water. He has dug several holes, but all of them 2 (leave) unfinished. 3 reality, many people lack willpower and patience 4 doing something difficult. Just 5 the man in the picture, he didn’t dig any of them further. If he 6 (do) so, he would have got water.

In my opinion, when we do something, we 7 have the willpower to finish 8 . We must firmly carry it 9 to the end if we want to get a fruitful result. A man who gives up halfway will achieve 10 .

【18】In recent years, learning Chinese 1 (become) popular among people around the world. Last month, I 2 (receive )an email from my cousin Jack in Canada. He said he was enthusiastic about Chinese, and asked me to find him some books 3 (intend) for Chinese beginners. I was very pleased to do 4 a favor. So I went from one bookstore to 5 , hoping to find something suitable for him. 6 I selected a set of Chinese textbooks among a variety of similar ones. Then I went to a post office to have them 7 (deliver) by air without delay. Several days later, I received Jack’s email, 8 (say) that he really appreciated the books I 9 (send). I’m very glad that Jack is beginning to learn Chinese just like many other foreigners abroad, 10 I know it may be an enjoyable challenge for him.

【19】Last week, our class was 1 duty in the cafeteria for student self-management. On the first day, I 2 (shock) to see so much leftover food thrown away by students. What a waste! Being concerned about it, my classmates and I had a 3 (heat) discussion on how 4 (solve) the problem. Lots of good ideas came up, such as holding class meetings, putting up wall newspapers and charging a fine for wasting food. Finally, we all agreed that wall newspaper would be 5 (good) choice.

The next day, we put our idea into reality. Towards lunch time, we put up a wall newspaper outside the school cafeteria, 6 (call) on students not to waste food. Many students gathered around to read and 7 (express) their support. To my great delight, there were changes soon. In the cafeteria, I found the trays returned after lunch all empty 8 any leftover. Food 9 (save) and the dining hall was cleaner. Seeing this, I felt relieved and proud of 10 we had done.

【20】As you can see, the girl 1 (is trying) to reach an apple at the top of the tree. It’s 2 (so) high that she has to stand on a stack of stools and 3 (may) fall any time. 4 (Down) at the lower part of the tree, there are many big apples 5 (within) her reach. But she just ignores them. Isn’t it ridiculous?

I think the picture tries to tell us that we should set a proper goal for ourselves. If we ignore the readily attainable goals and choose one 6 (beyond) our reach, we may fall and end up with 7 (nothing). In our daily life, there are many such “little girls”, 8 (who) only aim at what is up high. Sometimes, they even take risks in getting the apple, the result of 9 (which) is most probably only a fall. Actually, if we set a more realistic goal, not only 10 we get big apples, but also achieve confidence and happiness.

(dead).”So almost at the same moment 7. the antelope and the lion jump to their feet, and start 8. (run) toward the rising sun.

Such is life —9. you are an antelope or a lion, you ought to dash forward without 10. (hesitate) when the sun rises.

【76】In ancient times, the most important examination was spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted 1 saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.

Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known 2_________ the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into 3 (exist) with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry.

Two types of tests are 4 (common) used in modern schools. The first type is sometimes called an “objective”test. It 5 _____(intend) to deal with facts, not personal opinions. On objective tests, the student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and then he must copy its letter or number onto his examination paper.
