A 16-year-old Kansas boy will soon earn his high-school diploma (文凭).And a few days later, he’ll travel to Harvard     1     (collect) his bachelor's degree. Ulysses High School senior Braxton Moral     2    (attend) graduation ceremonies (典礼)a few days later to become     3     only student to gain a four year high school degree and a bachelor s degree from Harvard at the same time     4     (successful). "Harvard has changed the rules.” said Braxton s father, Carlos Moral, so his son will be the only one reaching that standard. Braxton will be 17 when he     5     (get) his diplomas. The Ulysses school district allowed him to take some high school     6     (class) while he was still in middle school. Before high school, he took a class offered at Fort Hays State University. Then he     7     (admit) to Harvard. Braxton at the same time studied at the high school and the Harvard Extension School. The program typically serves adults    8    work and can't study on campus full time.

Ulysses High School math teacher Patsy Love served as the proctor (学监)for the Harvard program, managing Braxton's tests in Kansas. "We are keeping an eye on Braxton to make sure he is not too pressed or proud, which may have an effect     9     his development," said Julie Moral, Braxton's mother. “I'm so happy with his     10     (achieve).”

Perhaps everyone has a motto. A motto is a sentence or a phrase which can inspire us especially when we are     1     (face) with difficulties. We have mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.”     2     “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those     3     help themselves.” Sometimes I am lazy and don’t want to make efforts     4    (work) hard, but the moment I think of my motto I will get     5     (energy) again and devote myself to what I am doing. I write my motto     6     I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me with much     7     (confident). My motto also makes me become     8     independent person. That is to say, I won’t rely on others easily.

My friends, what is your motto? If you still haven’t got a motto, please choose     9     because a motto can have a great effect     10     you.

I have a warm story to share with you. A school in San Francisco not only accepted a deaf student, but also    1    (teach) the entire class sign language to allow them to better communicate with him. The moving story began in September last year when a woman asked the primary school in her neighborhood    2    (accept) her six-year-old son, James,     3    had a hearing disability. The teacher, Lily, agreed almost immediately,    4    on the first day of school, she noticed James sitting all    5     himself, unable to communicate with any of his classmates.    6    (determine) to find a way out, Lily tried developing a few signs of     7    (she) own. But a parent of another child came up with    8    even better idea — getting the whole class to learn sign language along with James. So they got a sign language teacher on board, and three months later, James was able to communicate     9    (happy) with all his classmates about regular things like homework and    10    (game). He was no longer sitting alone from then on.

Just now, I entered the website “Topic for Today”. I feel     1     (interest) in the report on middle school students’ using cell phones. In fact, more students now come to school     2     cell-phones. People have different opinions about this phenomenon. Some think it is convenient     3     (get) in touch with others with the cell phone, which also makes you feel safe especially in time of trouble. Besides, it is enjoyable to use     4     (variety) functions of different cell phones. However,     5     think differently. First, the cell phone is not     6     must in school,     7     there are some IC phones there,     8     (make) it easy to call others. Second, many students often play e-games and send e-massages with their cell phones, even in class,     9     will surely have bad effects on their study. What’s more, it     10     (result) in a great waste of time and money. In my opinion, the cell phone is a useful tool in our daily life. But it doesn’t mean we can use freely in school.
