Last week, our school     1     (hold) a basketball match against another school. Near the end of the match, they only had an advantage over us. When our captain got the ball, one of them pretended     2     (knock) down by him. Upon seeing that, our captain tried to help him up, but the match was over and they won. We lost the game.     3     , we were all satisfied with the result because we went all out.

From this match, I learn that being     4     winner may refer to gaining a lot while a loser doesn’t mean     5       (lose) everything. What really counts     6     (be) the spirit, not the result. As long as we try our best, there is no sense in regretting. In     7     (real), a true loser is even more precious than a false winner. Without that match, I couldn’t have learnt the     8     (important) of spirit.

To sum up, a true winner is to a match what water is to a fish. It is not the result but the process     9     matters. Life without spirit is like sailing without a compass, so be a true winner and you will find     10     (it) significance.

The three famous persons’ examples tell us how this habit can make     3     difference in life, and     4     can help you, too.

Early rising is helpful in more than one way. As is reported, people     5     health is always in good condition tend to get up early in the morning, due to the fresh air     6    they breathe in. And early rising allows us enough time to take exercise. Besides, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easy     7    (learn) things by heart.

Located in a natural depression in Guizhou, China’s Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, known as FAST, has identified six pulsars (脉冲星) after one year of trial     1     (operate). It is the first time Chinese scientists have discovered pulsars using a radio telescope     2     (independent) developed by Chinese scientists, thus opening a “new era of Chinese original space discovery”.

It is truly     3     (encourage) for China to have achieved such results in just one year. Since the first pulsar     4     (discover), over 2,700 pulsars have been identified. And almost all of them are within the scope (范围) of the Milky Way. Being the world’s     5     (large) radio telescope, FAST is expected     6     (find) pulsars outside the galaxy. Apart from the massive size, it also has best accuracy and sensitivity, allowing scientists to find previously     7     (hide) stars. Moreover, FAST is capable of surveying the night sky with multiple scientific data at once,     8     enables astronomers to jump-start many science goals.

China’s FAST science impact     9     astronomy will be extraordinary, and has the potential to change other areas of the natural science. It will remain     10     Global leader for the next 10-20 years.

I once took a walk along the street on a Saturday dusk,     1     a cola can in my hand. An old woman in ragged clothes, who was living on collecting used cans, jars and tins,     2     (move) slowly towards me, with a bag on the back!     3     (walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can. At that time, I hadn’t finished my cola, so I gave     4     several coins instead.

She stared at me for a few seconds and handed back the money. Quite     5     (confuse), I asked: “Why not? Isn’t that     6     you want?” “I am not a beggar,” she said seriously, word by word. Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended to help her, completely misunderstanding her. Thus, I hurt her. What I could do at that moment was only     7     (drink) up the cola and hand her     8     emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile with     9     (satisfy) and gratitude in her eyes. The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man. I am not only moved     10     have learned a good lesson.

Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle’s nest with four large eagle eggs. One day an earthquake rocked the mountain,     1     (cause) one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm located in the valley below.     2     (lucky), the chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle’s egg, and     3     old hen volunteered to nurture and raise the large egg.

One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however, the eagle     4     (raise) to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken. The eagle loved his present family,     5     his spirit cried out for more. One day the eagle was playing on the farm when he noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies,     6     impressed him a lot. “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.”

The chickens laughed     7     him, “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”

Looking at his real family up above, the eagle continued dreaming that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams     8     (know), he was told it couldn’t be done. That is what the eagle learned to believe. As time went by, his dreams became     9     (weak). The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.

You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow your dreams not the     10     (word) of a chicken.
