【推荐1】Everyone has a childhood and childhood experiences are often very     1    (interest). Children often make us laugh.

I often remember my childhood, the years     2     many funny things happened. When I was two-year-old child, both my parents were always very busy     3     their work. My mother worked as     4     sales manager in a company while my father served in the army. So I     5    (live) with my grandma in a village. I was always waiting for my parents at home. Once my father sent     6    (we) a photo of his in soldier’s uniform, which     7    (post) on the table reminding me of him.

Once my mother came to see me and we were     8    (go) to the downtown together. On the way we saw a group of     9    (soldier). And when I saw them, I became very excited. I shouted in a loud voice, “This is my father, that one is my father, and he is my father, too...”

    10    (hear) this, my mother laughed and said she would remember that moment all her life.

One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about     1     (be) late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop,     2     some of them looked very anxious and     3     (disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next     4     the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike     5     (catch) my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he refused     6     (stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept     7     (ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up to the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, “    8     anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted, “Oh, dear! It’s     9     (I)”. She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully. Everyone on the bus began talking about what the boy had done, and the crowd of strangers     10     (sudden) became friendly to one another.

Once there lived a rich man     1     wanted to do something for the people of his town.     2     at first he wanted to find out whether they deserved (值得) his help.

In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed     3     very large stone. Then he     4    (hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

“Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. Another man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of     5     complained about the stone but not tried to remove it. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone,     6    (say) to himself: “The night     7    (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along       8       (late) in the dark and will fall against the stone.”                            

Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his     9     (strong) to move it. How great was his surprise at last!     10     the stone, he found a bag of money.

【推荐1】Should naps (小睡) actually     1     (lake) during the day? Well, we certainly know from     2     (evident) in our own sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain     3     your body. Bui naps can actually be     4     double-edged sword because while we’re awake during the day, we’re building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So that when you try to fall asleep at night, you’ll fall asleep quickly.    5     is a basic guarantee for a good sleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that sleepiness, almost like a valve (阀门), on a pressure cooker, so that we wake up the next morning feeling     6     (refresh).

So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much     7     (hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep     8     (sound) throughout the night. So the advice is if you don’t struggle     9     your sleep and you can nap regularly, then naps are just fine.

But if you do have trouble     10     (fall) asleep at night, then you should avoid naps and try and build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.

As a     1    (teenage)，you have many dreams.These dreams can be very big，such as winning the Nobel Prize，or they can be very small，for example，you may just want to become the best student in your class. Once you find a dream，what do you do with it? Do you ever try     2     (make) your dream come true?

Andrew Matthews，     3     Australian writer，tells us that making our dreams come true is the biggest challenge in our life. You may think you are not very good     4     some school subjects or it is     5    (possible) for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you     6    (realize) your dreams. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. Keep telling yourself     7     you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true earlier because a big dream     8     (make) up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up     9     dream. There will be many     10     (difficulty) on the road to your dreams. But the biggest one comes from yourself .You need to decide what is the most important.

An umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life. When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it; only when it’s raining, we’ll carry it purposefully. But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we’ll forget     1     we’ve put it. It has to wait patiently and pitifully for     2     owner to claim it, otherwise it’ll remain alone as a deserted umbrella. Once I suddenly found my longtime used umbrella “disappeared”. I really       3     ( regret) quite some time for my own carelessness. Several days later, out of my     4     (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar     5     me, I found for the first time that its plastic handle       6     (wear) out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid     7     (much) attention to it.

It sets me     8     (think). Around us there is always a person giving us support in silence just like     9     old umbrella that protects us from the rain or any bad weather. Will you think of those individuals     10     have helped you get through difficulty when you are leading a comfortable life?
