We rely on news to learn about what is happening in the world around us. However, we usually find that reports on the same events contain different or even     1     (contradict) information. How do these differences come about?

Firstly, journalists may have different     2     (priority), which would influence     3     they report an event. Secondly, news reports published at different stages of an event could contain different information as news facts     4     (bring) to light. Lastly, journalists may approach information they get from research or interviews     5    (different).     6    , checking different sources enables     7     (we) to draw a more informed conclusion.

To sum up, it is wise to read news reports     8     (write) from various perspectives and at different stages. We also need to be critical about the information we receive and remember not to blindly trust what we have read. Though journalists are committed to     9     (present) the truth, it is better to use our own judgement     10     rely entirely on news reports.

At each stage of our life, we meet different kinds of people. Some are funny; some teach us lessons in life while others occupy a special space in our heart. The people     1     (call)“best friends” are just these special     2    (friend).

In our childhood, “best friends”might have meant the persons who are always by our side, whether it may be in the classroom or in the dining hall. However, as we are getting     3     (old) than before, our definition(定义)of “best friends” changes. In my opinion, best friends are those who love you     4     who you are and help you become who you should be. People in our life come and go, but some people stay. They are the people we should never lose.

True friends are those     5     will never leave you when you need them most. They are always there waiting for you and they love you when you forget to love     6     (you). The best feeling in the whole world is knowing that there is     7     person who always prays for us and always keeps us in his/her thought. Friendship may not     8     (necessary)be based on age, but it is based on     9     (understand). Even our parents also can be our best friends! So let us build our friendship and try our best     10     (see)the good side of everyone!

An old proverb says, “Friends are like wine; the older, the better.” So, nowadays many people consider old friends to be     1     (important) than new friends. For example, if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from     2     old friend, people always tend to adapt the latter one,     3     the new friend's advice may be better.

    4     (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not     5     (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the     6     (long) of time cannot determine whether your friendship is better or not.

Once you call someone friend, he must be a reliable person,     7     interests are in common with     8     (you). As time goes by, a friend's outside look may change, but the inside characters of him and his interests will not change. It is just these unchangeable characters and interests     9     make him a friend to you.     10    , on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new friends.
