The Internet has become part of young people’s life. A report     1     (show) that 38% of students often use the Internet. Most of them get     2     (use) information on the Internet     3     use the Internet to help in their studies. But many students don’t use it     4     a good way. Some play games too much, and some visit websites     5     shouldn’t look at. So bad things may happen if students spend too much time on the Internet.

It is important for students to use the Internet     6     (proper). Now we have a textbook that uses many examples    7     (teach) students some good ways to use the Internet. It gives them useful     8     (advise).

Some students also make friends on the Internet. But if you want to have     9     face-to-face meeting with your online friends, let your parents     10     (know) and meet in a proper place.

Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs (微博) on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For another，it is a useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it popular with high school students.    1    many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy,    2    should be used to study.

In my view, I am     3     (great) in favor of this activity. Today the Internet is playing     4    important role in our life. Therefore as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this     5     (value) tool to communicate. What's more, opening and organizing micro blogs need various     6     (ability) such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog.    7    a result, we improve ourselves while     8     (organize) our micro blogs. In fact, micro blog     9     (oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it     10    matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

Music is one of the most     1     (power) things in my life. Listening to music can help to motivate me in trying time. When younger, I     2     (have) no great love for music as I do now. I mainly listened to what my parents were listening to. Whether I was in the car, the house,     3     anywhere else there was sure to be some Beatles, or Buddy Holly constantly playing in the background. Now as I’m     4    (old), I enjoy it for the reason that it allows me to remember my childhood.

I believe music has the power     5     (express) all sorts of emotion. The song “A little bit longer” by Nick Jonas is     6     an emotional and inspiring song that when I hear it, I always come close to     7     (drop) down tears, especially when I watch it being played live. The effect     8     music can have on our emotions is great, as it can bring people to floods of tears or bursts of     9     (laugh).

I believe music affects people in many ways. To me, music is     10     (extreme) important in my life. I think it brings me closer to my friends and family.

Last week I     1    (take) on a difficult task of showing kindness. The idea came from a few posts on a website. I decided     2     (reach) out to a few people I hadn’t talked to for the past few years.

One was a cousin,     3     I had lost touch with for 25 years. She was very happy when we got     4     touch. The other two were friends I hadn’t talked to in nearly 10 years. It was really good to talk to     5     (they) both.

With one of them, I reached out at a great time for him. He had forgotten my name     6    (entire) but remembered I disliked     7    (run) when young because I had asthma（哮喘）. He was grateful that I called him and said some very kind     8     (thing) to me about our past. I am glad our friendship mattered to him.

I think     9     is good to be the one to take the initiative（主动性）to be kind and reach out. Even if it seems difficult at the time, in the end it offers     10     (wonder) rewards!

What’s your understanding of education? It is a term that can have many meanings, but it is     1     (general) defined as the process of learning information. Formal (正式的) learning in a school or university is one of the most common     2     (type). Communities around the world place a high value on     3     (educate) people of all ages, whether formally or informally.

When     4     (talk) about education, most people will think of schools and classrooms where trained teachers present information     5     students. Classroom learning usually     6     (start) when a child is very young — around five years old in most countries. The purpose of most classroom learning is not to prepare a child for a specific job,    7     rather to help him or her develop critical reasoning and thinking skills.

As a matter of fact, many people choose to extend (延长) their formal education beyond what     8     (require) by going to university. Students usually have a wide range of     9     (choose) when it comes to subject areas and degree options.

Although book learning is very important, it is not the only form of education in     10     people can get knowledge. Some people are self-taught. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, is one of the self-learners.

With the Tokyo Summer Olympics behind us, people are turning their eyes to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games     1     will start in five months. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing, 18, looks to be one of the superstars of the event. Born to a Chinese mother and an American father, Gu. decided to compete     2     China in the 2022 Winter Olympics in June 2019. Just two months     3    (late), she bagged her first gold medal for China at the Australia New Zealand Cup. Her strength continued to grow as she won one bronze and two gold medals at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Snowboard and Freeski World Championships in March.

People say she is     4     (talent), but Gu says it is her hard work     5     counts. While going to school in San Francisco, Gu could only practice on weekends. She spent eight hours     6     (go) to the ski hill and back. She did her homework on the way and made full use of her time at the hill     7     (practice) skiing.

Gu wants to encourage more girls in China to try skiing and other extreme sports. “Skiing gives me     8     (free) and creativity, especially when I control my body and do tricks that others cannot do.” she said.

Now she     9     (prepare) herself for the Winter Olympics as a full-time athlete, hoping to bring out her own style     10    (perfect).

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) Fire

It feels as though the very heart of France and the soul of Europe have been broken. The fire of Notre Dame in Paris     1     Monday evening was an act of blind and terrible destruction,     2     (cause) great emotional pains to us all. We all share France’s terrible loss.

The fire struck     3     (quick) and uncontrollably. It gathered force with huge power. Much of the roof and the central building caught fire. After     4     hour or so, the Paris firefighters were able     5     (get) part of the fire under some degree of control and to protect other     6     (part) of the building that may survive. As night     7     (fall), the great west towers still stood against the sky, proud but hurt.

The Notre Dame is the symbol of the French capital and of France itself. It is world famous not simply as a Parisian building but through the     8     (write) of Victor Hugo,     9     made the building itself come alive in his novel Hunchback of Notre Dame.

We believe the Dame will rise again in time. This terrible fire is not an event that should     10     (forget) or quickly ignored. We stand with France in its hour of heartbreak. We will never, ever, turn away.

Lang Ping and Michael Jordan are athletes who are masters in their sport.

When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup, her determination     1     (test). The team that Lang Ping had built was falling     2    . Two players had to leave.     3     (lose) two important players was a big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. She knew that her young     4     (player )could win if they worked together as a team. Two weeks later, they were world champions!

Michael Jordan     5     was known as “Air Jordan” changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. His skills were impressive, but the mental     6     (strong) that he showed made him unique. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures. Losing games taught him to practice     7    (hard) and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt     8    （share）his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago     9     (help) young people since 1996.

They set     10    good example for us and we are proud of them.
