I'm Adam,       1    freshman in senior high school. The first week was a little     2     (confuse).

There are some     3     (challenge) I have to face in my new school life. First, I had to think carefully about my courses. Chinese is hard to learn, but I hope I can speak it     4     (fluent) when I graduate. My adviser     5     (recommend) me to sign up for advanced literature because I'm good       6    it. Second, I had to choose my extra-curricular activities. I tried     7     (join) the school football team though I couldn't do well in     8    at first. Besides that, I joined a volunteer club.

In order to be well    9    (prepare) for university or whatever else     10     (come) in the future,I make up my mind to study harder and get used to new situation.

It was my first day of senior high school. Looking at everything    1    I had prepared for the new school year, I was filled with     2     (curious) as well as anxiety.

I was anxious to look around as soon as I got to school. I felt curious    3    everything, the new dining hall, the new library, the new labs, the new classrooms, etc. It would be    4    new start for me. And I was looking forward to    5    (see) my new teachers and classmates.    6    at the same time I wondered    7    my new classmates would like to make friends with me. Would the teacher be strict with us students?

I felt    8    (relax) when my English teacher asked me, “What else can I do to help you, Li Le?” I found all the teachers kind and helpful. While    9    (think) about how to get on well with my classmates, I found three boys come and they asked me to play basketball with them in the P.E. class. We enjoyed ourselves that morning and soon became good friends.

Anxiety had gone, and I knew I    10    (have) a happy school life here.

For many young people, they are     1    (die) to be admitted into their dream university because it is one of the most important stages of their lives. It is the time     2    young people will move out of their home to live with other people, often strangers. People,     3    (especial) in the US, often travel very far from home to study. It is a time to be     4    (independence).

At university,     5    is recommended that you attend lectures by professors who are leading figures in their study. The opportunity to learn from and to discuss with them is what drives some people     6     (apply) to a university. Students     7    (require) to choose a major that they wish to study. Apart     8    the academic benefit, life at university also can allow students to develop    9    (they) interests in many fields.

Therefore, university is a place     10    you attain(获得) knowledge, develop your values and accept those who may be different.
