Parents hold different opinions about students’ studying abroad. Wang Li, the mother of twin girls, believes that there is no need for overseas study. As far as she is     1     (concern), studying abroad is a bad idea because it causes both economic and     2     (academy) pressure.     3     (addition), with many great universities now available in China, young people who choose to study in our homeland also have a great future to look forward     4    .

Contrary to Wang’s opinion, Zhang Yi, the father of a boy, argues that the advantages outweigh the     5     (advantage). He holds the view     6     the experience of studying abroad not only contributes to personal growth, but also increases chances of cultural exchange.     7     (cooperate) with people from diverse cultural backgrounds can help us view the world from different     8     (angle) and have a better understanding of our own culture. He also stresses that, in the long run, studying abroad provides a great opportunity for young people to make     9     (contribute) to the development of our motherland. Though accompanied by many     10     (difficulty), studying abroad is worthwhile.

A smart home is one that     1     (integrate) computers into the structure of the building itself. In this way, many of the things that we now do ourselves will become     2     (自动的). For example, the smart home could control the air conditioning and lights so that you would no longer have to turn     3     (switch) on and off, making your home more energy-efficient. The smart home could also m    4     (监控) itself to make sure that everything is working     5     it should, and send you warnings     6     there is a problem. Such smart homes could even     7     (programm) to detect your health problems, and then give you relevant advice as to the food you should eat or if you should see a doctor. So, in a sense, smart homes will lead us to     8     (live) smarter lives.

This smart technology is not a fantasy. Many of these new     9     (innovate) are already available and being used in some homes. In this sense, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today. Nevertheless, it will take some years     10     most new homes begin to use this new technology.

Chemical pesticides and artificial fertilisers have been     1     widespread use in farming since the middle of the 20th century. When they were first introduced, many farmers welcomed them as a great way to fight crop disease and increase     2     (produce). Overtime, however, what some scientists have found is     3     their long-term use can sometimes harm both the land and people’s health.

As an alternative, some farmers     4     (switch) to organic farming, and many customers have turned to organic food when they shop at the local grocery. Organic farming is simply farming    5     using any chemicals.

Some people would prefer     6     (stop) the use of man-made chemicals in agriculture     7     (entire). What keeps them from doing so is the fact that chemical farming serves the high demand for food around the world. Organic farming is nowhere near able     8     (meet) that need. Therefore, there is still a long way to find a     9     (suit) solution that puts sufficient food on the dinner table while     10     (keep) people and the environment as healthy as possible.

There are various kinds of theme parks with different parks for almost everything: food, culture, science,     1     (cartoon), movies, history and so on. Some parks are famous for having the     2     (big) or longest roller coasters, others for showing famous sights and     3     (sound).

The theme park you are probably most familiar     4     is Disneyland, which can     5     (find) in several parts of the world. Disneyland will bring you into a magical world and make your childhood dreams come true.     6     (travel) through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting an     7     (adore) fairytale or cartoon character are all possible at Disneyland. As you wander around the fantasy     8     (amuse) park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a p    9     (巡游) or even on the street. Disneyland also has many exciting rides to amuse you,     10     enormous swinging ships to scary free-fall drops. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!

I’d like to share a story that happened a few days ago but still makes me happy. I lived in    1    (German) at that time of the year. It was cold and the    2     (street) were often wet and everyone liked to get home or to a warm place as quickly as possible.

One evening, I     3     (walk) along the sidewalk when I saw a toy rabbit.     4    (I) first thought was joy, “Oh! Rabbit! Sweet.” Then, trained by small acts of kindness, I wondered     5    I could be of help and who    6    (lose) the rabbit.

Then I remembered that a woman with a carriage had just passed. I picked the rabbit up, called to    7    woman and showed the rabbit to her. She turned around with her sleeping child, checked the carriage, and said    8    a smile, “Thank you so much! You saved my evening!” There was so much joy in her face,     9    (make) me happy still to this day.

And it taught me    10    (be) caring even on the risk of failing.

A few weeks ago, a friend and I, both travelling in the south of France,     1    (decide) to go to the chocolate festival     2     (call) “Feria du Chocolat” in French. I had     3    fantastic time.

There were stalls (货摊) selling boxes of chocolates, sweets, dessert wines, etc. All the stall owners were very friendly and happy to see the    4     (arrive) of foreigners like us.

At the end, our class stayed in the room and chatted about how much we were enjoying the day and eating lots of chocolate!
