Three months ago, I moved to Italy with my parents. One day, after playing badminton, I was about     1    (leave) the club when I saw Amma. She’s an old lady in her late 60s, and she is responsible     2     cleaning the floor of the club. At that time, she was talking to the boss of the club,     3    (ask) for some cash. Her hand was in pain and she wanted     4    (see) the doctor. The boss gave her some excuses and escaped     5    (quick).

I felt bad for her.     6     I had never talked with Amma before, I walked to her and opened my wallet. I knew I didn’t have much money, but I gave her whatever I had in my wallet. In my     7    (break) Italian, I tried to say “Amma, please take the money and see a doctor”, but I didn’t know if my     8    (express) was correct. She seemed to have understood me and said “Thank you!”.

When I went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, surprisingly I found one bill,     9     was more than enough for my meal.     10     next day, I came across Amma, and even though it was very dark in the street, she recognized me and waved to me.

“Traveling to China seems like traveling to another world. Its many famous scenic attractions impressed me     1     (great),”an American said. The following is     2     he wrote on his website.

My friends and I had a family visit in Xi’an,     3     old city with a long history in China. The hosts were retired or stayed at home without a job, and they were friendly to     4     (visit) from different countries coming their homes.

We     5     (taste) the true home-cooked dishes in the home of the family that we visited. For in-homing dinner, the host would prepare a list of menus in advance (提前). Our tour guide asked     6     (we) for advice about the food, so the host would try to cook what we wanted     7     (eat) at his home. We just enjoyed the locally cooked dishes. It was quite a different and exciting experience.

Many foreigners enjoy     8     (learn) how to make Chinese dumplings. We were also     9     (offer) a general cooking class in the local family.

The Nobel Prize is widely considered as the world’s most famous award. It is awarded for people     1     (make) achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature, peace and economics. In 1900, it     2     (design) by the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel as a means to formally recognise the men and women who have made a significant     3     (contribute) to cultural or scientific advancement.

It is believed that Nobel was inspired     4     (create) the awards after reading an obituary (讣告) in a French newspaper relating to his death. Nobel, who was    5     (obvious) still alive at the time, was deeply upset by the obituary saying that “The merchant (商人) of death is dead. ” The inventor, who was well-known     6     the creation of lots of weapons(武器), was frightened to discover that this was how the world would remember him. So he decided after he died, a large amount of his money would be used to create     7     number of prizes that would be awarded to those who award the “greatest benefit to mankind ”. These prizes were to be awarded in the     8     (field) of literature, physics, chemistry, physiology and peace.

The Nobel Foundation was created,     9     would take control of Nobel’s donation and arrange for the awarding of the     10     (vary) prizes.

Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also in life. If two teams play     1     game, one team must lose. If a dozen     2     (team) attend an athletic competition, one team will get the most points and all the     3     eleven teams will get fewer points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face.     4     that team and that school must do is to admit that it     5     (lose). The only intelligent reaction     6     defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on we will devote     7     (our) to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.

Lessons     8     (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more     9     (value) are the lessons learned in extra­curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and,     10     (especial), in the student council.

She managed to enter college and studied very hard. Four years later, Anna graduated and was offered work. Once she    4     (write) in her diary, “I am quite lucky.    5     I lost my arms, I still have my legs.”

Anna lost her arms    6     she chose to face it in a positive (积极的) way. Instead of feeling sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She    7     (teach) us a good lesson.

When something bad happens to us, we have two    8     (choice). One is to complain, and     9     other is to face it bravely. Just choose     10     (wise). If you decide to be brave and strong, new hopes will come.
