I will never forget the day when I went to a coming-of age ceremony. Last month, an unforgettable adult ceremony     1    (hold) for all the senior 3 students in our school. It began at half past two in the afternoon. Decorated by colorful flowers and balloons, the stadium looked     2    (fantastic) beautiful. All of us students were dressed     3     school uniforms with red ribbons on our wrists, showing the energy of youth. We walked into the stadium in high spirits.     4    (accompany) by our parents. Our principal delivered    5    inspiring speech at first, and we received     6    (congratulate) from our teachers. During the ceremony, we expressed our heart-felt gratitude to our parents by    7    (bow) to them. I was moved to tears when I got a photo album from my parents,     8     reminded me of my happy childhood. In the end, we raised our right hands and     9    (make) a serious promise to become reliable and honest citizens. As far as I’m concerned, the ceremony indicates that we should take on more responsibilities to be     10    (independence) and get away from the shelter of our family.

The giant panda     1     (love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists     2     (recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby. She was a very     3    (care) mother. For 25days, she never left her baby, not even to find something     4     (eat)! She would not let any other pandas come near. She licked the baby constantly to keep it clean. Any smell might attract natural     5    (enemy) that would try to eat the little comforting panda. The mother held the baby in her front paws much the way a human does.     6     it cried, she rocked it back and forth and gave it little comforting pats. The mother continued to care for the young panda     7     more than two years. By that time, the panda no longer needed     8    (it) mother for food. However, it stayed with her and learned about the ways of the forest. Then, after two and a half years, the mother     9     (drive) the young panda away. It was time for her to have a new baby,     10     it was also time for the young panda to be independent.
