The story happened in a class. A teacher teaching math to     1     five-year-old student asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple, then another, and another, how many     2     (apple) will you have?” The teacher had expected a correct answer, but she didn’t get one. Within a few seconds the student replied     3     (confident). “Four! The teacher repeated the question, but the student still gave her the wrong answer after     4     (count) on his fingers.

The teacher thought he needed some encouragement. Then, she remembered that this student liked strawberries. She was very     5     (excite), and she asked. “If I give you one strawberry, then another, and another, how many will you have then?”

The boy counted on his fingers again.     6     a smile, the student said, “Three.” The teacher now had a satisfied smile. So once again, she asked him, “Now if I give you one apple and one apple, then another, and another, how many will you have?”

The student answered, “Four!”

The teacher     7     (become) angry. “Why? My boy, why?”

In a low voice, the young student said, “Because I already have one apple in my bag.”

When someone gives you an answer     8     is different from what you have expected, don’t think he     9    (be) wrong. There may be an angle that you have not understood at all, so you will have     10     (listen).

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then,     1    air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind    2     (change) your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only possible seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts(石膏）, a black-and-blue face, and a sad    3     (express).“No way am I going to sit there,” I thought    4     (immediate). But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I decided to move to that seat.

The girl was named Kathy. She    5     (hurt) in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment .

When the snacks and juice arrived, it did not take me long to realise that Kathy would not be able to feed    6     (her). I considered offering    7     (feed) her but hesitated , as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger. But then I realised that Kathy’s need was more important    8    my discomfort. I helped her eat, and although she was uncomfortable, she accepted. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

Love sometimes flows beyond human borders and removes the fears    9    keep us separate. When we offer to serve another, we grow to live in a    10     (large) and more rewarding world.

What is happiness? When     1     (ask) about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get less as we get     2    (old).

For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Winning a race or getting a new bike is     3    (absolute) pleasant.

In the teenage years,     4     concept of happiness changes. Their happiness     5     (lie) in such things as excitement, love and popularity,     6         leave a good impression on them during their youth. I can still recall the excitement when I     7     (invite) to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

In adulthood the things that bring deep joy--- love, marriage, birth--- also bring     8    (responsible) and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complex. It depends     9     many aspects.

My definition for happiness is "the capacity for enjoyment". The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It is easy     10     (gain) the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to travel to anywhere we like, and even good health.

“Pure love, only for China.” When the host of the Harbin Ice and Snow World in Heilongjiang province read out the words on the wallpaper of a lost phone to find its owner,     1    (applaud) broke out among the audience, CCTV News reported.

The sentence was from the diary of a soldier Chen Xiangrong, who lost his life in a border conflict with Indian troops in June 2020.     2     owner of the cellphone, surnamed Xie is a student of the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine. She learned about Chen’s story when she was in high school. Since then, Xie     3    (regard) Chen as an example and hoped one day she could also contribute to the country. So she took the patriotic(爱国的) expression     4    (write) by Chen as a motto, and placed together with the national flag     5     the background of her cellphone.

She said     6     she didn’t expect was the sudden popularity of the wallpaper on the Internet, with many netizens     7    (ask) her to share it. “I am very happy that this resonates with so many people. We post-2000s generations are not a lost generation,     8     a generation that can contribute to the future of our country,” Xie said. “I firmly believe that through our efforts and hard work, our country will become more prosperous! We will     9    (definite) live up to the expectations of the times, and make an effort     10    (create) a better future for our country!” She added.

I'm now writing to you for your advice. How I wish you    1    (be) here with me!

Yesterday afternoon, I went to a bookstore with one of my friends. After we went out, he showed me     2    book he had stolen ,    3    (consider)he was wrong, I suggested he    4    (go)back to return it or pay for it.    5     he didn’t listen to me, otherwise I wouldn’t have reported it to his mother.

Now I’m really    6    (regret). I would rather I     7    (let)his mother know it. After all, he is my friend, without    8    help, I wouldn’t have made so rapid progress in study.

But    9    is now obvious that he has begun to hate me. It seems as if we hadn’t been friends before. Can you advise what I should do now?

    10    (be) you in my position, what would you do?I hope you can give me some advice as soon as possible.
