Arthur K: Indeed, it’s a pleasant surprise    4    (find) this book is filled with joy and hope. Morrie’s bravery towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more.     5    Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”

Shakespeare and Company is an English - language bookshop in the heart of Paris. It     1     (be) a meeting place for writers and readers for almost seventy years.

In 1951, a bookshop     2     (name) Le Mistral was opened by George Whitman. It was renamed Shakespeare and Company in 1964     3     honor of a bookseller he admired, Sylvia Beach, who founded the     4     (origin) Shakespeare and Company in 1919. Beach's bookstore had been a gathering place for great writers of the time, including Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Pound.

George's bookstore quickly became a center for literary life. From the first day, writers, artists, and intellectuals were invited     5     (sleep) for free among the shelves. Since then, an estimated 30, 000 people have stayed in the bookshop. Over the years, the shop     6     (gradual) grew. George said, “I     7     (create) this bookstore like a man would write a novel, building each room like     8     chapter, and I like people to open the door the way they open a book.”

Today George's novel, this bookshop, is still being written by George's child Sylvia, by a team of     9     (bookseller), and by the thousands of people     10     continue to read, write, and sleep at Shakespeare and Company.

Henry was walking along the street     1     he found a     2    (tailor) shop.     3    (see) his shabby clothes, the clerks looked down     4     him and wanted to get him out quickly. When Henry     5    (tell) them he had only one bill and was afraid they didn’t have any small change, they laughed at him. Not until Henry took out     6     large bill he had mentioned did they realize what he said was true. Then the owner and the clerks did what they could     7     (please) Henry and said they didn’t worry about     8     (wait) a long time to get     9    (pay), trying to keep this     10    (wealth) customer.

The Little Prince is     1     children’s fantasy book which     2     (write) and illustrated by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery during World War Ⅱ, but it is also enjoyed by adults.

It mainly tells a story about a lonely prince     3     (come) from another planet. The little prince meets a pilot     4     has crashed in the desert and the two become friends. The book talks about the importance of looking beneath the surface of things     5     (uncover) their real meanings. I like it because it has made me think a lot about life and death, love and responsibility, friendship and     6     (lonely). One of the most     7     (memory) characters in the book is a rose, which the little prince fell in love with. I am really touched by the line—“It’s the time you spend on your rose that     8     (make) your rose so important.”—because it shows how we form special bonds with others by caring and taking responsibility for them.

    9     (personal), I think it is a touching book suitable for people     10     all ages.
