Welcome to our zoo. Here you can see all kinds of     1     (animal). First you can see a tiger     2     Africa. Don’t be afraid     3     it. It’s not scary. Next, you can see an elephant from South Africa. It’s     4     (friend) to people. What’s that     5     the tree? Oh, it’s a koala. It comes from Australia. The koala is very young. It’s only two     6     (year) old. It’s very cute and smart. Lots of     7     (people) like it. But it’s best     8     (come) to see it at night. Why?     9     it usually     10     (sleep) in the daytime. Please come to our zoo and you’ll have fun here.

Many people like pandas very much because they are very cute. Most of them come f    1     Sichuan, China. They have white hair, but     2     (they) ears, eyes, legs and shoulders are all black. Pandas are usually heavy, but they can climb trees like koalas. Their favorite food     3     (be) bamboo. They like to eat a lot. It takes pandas a lot of time     4     (eat) food every day. When pandas are full, they like     5     (sleep). They sleep many     6     (hour) every day. B    7     there are not many pandas in the world today. They are i    8     great danger. Because people cut d    9     too many bamboo trees, pandas can’t find much food. I think we must help them. We can plant more bamboo trees and be     10     (friend) to pandas.

3 . After you go into a bookshop, you can open a book and start reading. Many people enjoy it very much. But now online bookshops and e-books are p    1    . So the traditional bookshops have to make some changes.

Online bookshops u    2     have more kinds of books than traditional bookshops, so some traditional bookshops choose to have just one kind of books. This m    3     some readers love them more. For example, if you like films, you can go and visit the Popular Holdings in Shanghai. The bookshop has lots of books about films.

Some traditional bookshops have places for people to make friends and e    4     life. The Eslite Bookshop in Taipei doesn’t just sell books. It also has fashion shops and cafes. Sometimes you may also talk to writers.

A great bookshop can h    5     people to read in many ways. If you visit a city, why not find a good bookshop there and start a reading trip?

Chinese music is     1     (difference) from music from other parts of the world. To reflect its     2     (beautiful), only Chinese musical instruments can be divided into eight classes by the materials they are made from. There are reeds (芦苇) and gourds (葫芦)     3     sheng, bamboo to make panpipes (排箫), silk to make zithers (筝), metal to make bells and skin to make drums.

There is a piece of music that is     4     (name) High Mountains and Flowing Streams. From this name, you can imagine a harmonious (和谐的) picture with green mountains and clear streams     5     (安静) passing by your feet. The music is played by Chinese zither. High Mountains and Flowing Streams is the     6     (财富) of Chinese music. The music is slow and quiet. It is a song in praise of the life-long friendship     7     the music masters Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi. The message is that it is     8     (not easy) for one to find a true friend who can share everything     9     understand every feeling of the other. With images of imposing (壮观的) mountains and flowing streams, this piece of music     10     (show) strength. It is also a full show of great skills. I hope everyone can enjoy Chinese music.

5 . One Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Clarke locked the door and went to the women’s club as usual. When she came home she f    1     something unusual. Had someone got in? There was no sigh of forced entry. Had a    2     been taken? She found her camera and watch missing. The following Thursday she went o    3     at her usual time, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead, she took a s    4     walk in a park nearby and came home. She let herself in through the back door and sat down to wait and see what would happen. It was 7 o’clock w    5     the bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making tea at that moment. The bell rang again. But Mrs. Clarke didn’t go to a    6     it. Then she heard her letter-box being opened. Mrs. Clarke moved quietly towards the door w    7     a kettle(壶) of boiling water. A piece of wire appeared through the letter-box and then a hand. The wire turned a    8     caught around the knob on the door lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the h    9    . A sharp cry was heard outside as the wire fell to the floor. Before long, two p    10     came and caught the thief.

Hello, everyone! My name is Daniel. I’m 12 years old. I have many pen     1     (friend). The boy in the picture is one of     2     (they). His name is Li Lin. He is in Beijing, China. He is 12, too. So we are of the s    3     age (年龄). Li Lin likes     4     (sport) very much. He     5     (have) two soccer balls, one basketball, two v    6    . But     7     (he) favorite sport is soccer. He thinks soccer is     8     interesting game. He     9     (play) soccer every day. And he often watches them     10     TV.

9 . Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too m    1     pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams.

I’m always under pressure, t    2    . I hate being stressed but I'm not sure why. My parents want me to be top student in class. So they s    3     me to all kinds of after-school classes on weekends. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really f    4     tired. I needed t    5     to relax. My mother a    6     with me at last. So, I think a talk with parents is necessary to s    7     the problem. The stress will disappear and then everything will be back to normal. I need to tell myself that the stressful situation will be over soon.

I wonder if p    8     are more stressed today than they were 100 years ago. I think they probably are. There are more things to get stressed about these days—exams, money, jobs, trains, anything and everything.

L    9    , there are many things to do to get rid of stress. I reduce my stress b    10     chatting or going for a run. Life seems better then. I wonder what will give me stress next. I’ll get my running shoes ready so I can manage it.

10 . I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school．I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very    1    (clear) a sign over her classroom door, which said, “Laboratory-in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (强调), not the last seven.” In other words, I guess, labor for her was     2    (important) than oratory, which means    3    (make) speeches.

She prepared all her     4    (lesson) carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that the homework     5    (reduce), but it continued just the same．She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.

I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline（严格要求）really seems to benefit the students.
