My name is Han Jing. This is my first senior school day and I am so       1     (nerve). I was wondering     2     I could make a good first     3     (impress) and make any good     4    (friend). In my first maths class, the teacher was     5     (friend) and helpful, and he told us     6    funny story,     7    made everyone laugh. In the afternoon, I couldn’t concentrate     8     the experiment because of the guy next to me. This morning, I was     9    (worry) about my new life. However, now, I didn’t feel     10     (frighten) at all.

I’m your principal, Mr Xu at senior high school. I can’t wait     1     (describe) to you what senior high school life is like. The path before you leads to a world full of     2     (challenge) but when you rise     3     the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire great knowledge and enjoy     4     (person) growth. Most importantly, your time and effort at senior high school will open the door to your potential, which is your natural ability    5     can be developed when you try hard enough.

To     6     (full) realize your potential,     7     is important for you to make the most of our school resources. Of equal importance     8     (be) good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude. Last but not     9     (little), always look on the bright side and never lose hope, even in difficult situations.

You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your character. Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet it is you who are responsible for     10     (realize) your great potential. Be confident, do your best and make us proud!

Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many     1     (advantage). For example, we can not only save time     2     also encourage each other when we study in groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics     3     (be) very poor. I had     4     really hard time with it. Once in class, the teachers asked     5     to discuss it with each other, but I was very shy, I could not do it like what they told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else     6     (brave). Then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways     7     (deal) with the problems. After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed out at all. At last, I finished my homework     8    myself for the first time. How     9     (excite) I was!

Because of     10     (study) in groups, I am not worried about physics any more. With my classmates’ help, I get more confidence. It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways.

【推荐2】I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting     1     my car broke down near a remote village. Cursing my     2     (fortune), I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me     3     (argue) as to who should have the honour of receiving me     4     a guest in their house. Finally, I accepted the offer of     5     80-year-old peasant woman who lived alone in a little house. While she was getting me settled into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse     6     my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometers away     7     there was a garage.

I had noticed three hens     8     (run) free in my hostesscourtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. Other villagers brought me goat’s cheese and honey. We drank together and talked     9     (merry) till far into the night.

When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I     10     (cause) her. But she refused.
