Last week I went to an art show. A painting caught my eyes. To my surprise, it was painted by Steven, one of my     1     (学生). Then suddenly, those that came into my mind were many     2     (特别的) moments with him.

Steven was from a poor family. His parents died on his fifth grade in the primary school. Usually our school provided gloves for poor children,     3     (包括) Steven. He was so happy when he received a pair. He loved to wear them and they were always     4     (干净的) than anybody else's.

Steven was quite good at painting. What’s more, he could     5     (容易地) understand what I described in class. I wondered     6     (是否) he had enough money to buy the paper for painting or not, so sometimes I gave him some. And I often showed his paintings to the class. He     7     (鼓励) a lot by what I did for him.

One day just before the summer vacation, he decided     8     (借) some art books from me. When the new term began, he showed some of his     9     (绝妙的；了不起的) paintings to me. We talked a lot and he said he would keep on.

He entered a famous art     10     (大学). After graduation, though he had many difficulties, he never gave up. His hard work and strong mind led to his success.

He     5     gave me some advice on how to keep fit. I stayed in     6     all day and felt terrible. In the evening, some of my     7     (classmate) came to see me after school. They brought some fresh flowers to me. I was very     8     (excite) to see them. Now I k    9     how important it is for people to be healthy. After taking the medicine I feel b    10    .

In the Sui Dynasty, a terrible flood (洪水) happened on the Xiao River outside the city of Zhaozhou. The flood washed     1     a large stone bridge. People had rebuilt the bridge many times.     2     it was still washed away over and over again. “What’s wrong     3     it?” Li Chun, the most famous local engineer     4     that time, asked himself. One day, an idea came into     5     mind! He thought of building bow-shaped arches (拱). And there would be only one big arch     6     was supported at each end by two small ones.     7     floods came, the water would run through the four small arches and had little influence     8     the bridge. He was greatly excited about     9     idea.

A new Zhaozhou Bridge     10     built. It was safe and beautiful. It shows the wisdom (智慧) and creativity of the Chinese people.
