For some US college students, a break from school is a time to volunteer to help communities in need. They take school sponsored (赞助)trips to do voluntary work.

This spring break, I had the opportunity to go on one of these     1    (trip), and it was the best week of my entire life. I went with 12 other students and two adults down to Rocky Mount, North Carolina in the US. We worked on three houses，     2    (build)roofs, painting, and landscaping.

    3    was very rewarding to see how much we were     4    (true)appreciated by the people living in that town. Every time we went out somewhere     5    dinner, we had   people come up to us to express their     6    (appreciate). This made us feel really good and     7     (motivate)us to get more done each day.

The trip wasn't all about work, however; we had an     8    (amaze)group of people who enjoyed one another’s company. We created our own fun,     9    helped us get to know   each other well. At the end of the trip, I came home with not only     10    great sense of fulfillment but also 14 really good new friends.

The best friendship to be described in Chinese literature is    1    (probable) the one between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. Yu was a famous master (大师) of music     2    played the qin well. Once, he took a boat trip to the state of Chu. Inspired by the beautiful view along the way, Yu took out his qin and    3    (begin) to play. After a while, he noticed a woodsman (樵夫)    4    (enjoy) his music quietly. The man was Zhong Ziqi. When Yu played music that described high mountains, Zhong said: “How wonderful it is! I seem to see Taishan Mountain.” And when he played music that described flowing water, Zhong said: “How wonderful it is! I seem to see the rushing river.” Yu was surprised by the woodsman’s     5    (word) because the man could really understand    6    （he）music. When Zhong died the following year, Yu was     7    upset that he took out his qin to play the music of the “high mountains and flowing water” one last time for Zhong. When he was done, he broke his qin     8    purpose so he could never play it again.

Now,    9    phrase “high mountains and flowing water”    10     (use) to stand for the true friendship.
