The world-famous credit card company Mastercard is    1    （remove）its name from its company logo. It will follow the    2    （like）of Apple and Nike to have a logo     3    has a symbol only and no writing. Mastercard had    4    （traditional）used a logo that had overlapping yellow and red circles with the word "Mastercard"     5    （write）over the top.

Nowadays Chinese are using the solar calendar. But at the same time, Chinese are also using their own lunar calendar. Each lunar year     1     (give) the name of one of these animals: the rat, the ox, the tiger, the hare, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the cock, the dog and the pig. This list repeats     2     (it) every twelve years,     3     is a main feature of the Chinese lunar calendar.

Each Chinese month starts on the day of the new moon, and the full moon always comes on the     4     (fifteen) day of the month. The New Year,     5     (actual) well known as the Spring Festival, always falls     6     January 21st and February 20th.

If you only got six hours' shut eye last night, there is no need     1    ( lose )sleep over it.

Scientists say that though it is    2    (wide) believed that we need eight hours of sleep a night, six to seven hours is the natural amount.

Advising short-sleepers to rest easy, the US researchers say,    3    (have) important implications(暗示,含义) for the idea that we need to take sleeping pills because sleep has been reduced from    4    (it) natural level by the widespread use of electricity, TV, the Internet and so on.'

The lead author of a study, Ghandi, said: “There's the    5    (expect) that we should all be sleeping for eight or nine hours a night, and if we took away modern technology, we would be sleeping more. But now, for the first time, we are showing that’s not    6     truth.” Most of those     7    were studied slept for less than seven hours a night, with the average amount just six hours and 25 minutes. This is much less than the eight hours often     8    (recommend) in western societies. Despite this, the people studied were in good health,    9     lower rates of obesity(肥胖症), better blood pressure and     10    (healthy) hearts than people in industrialised societies. They were also fitter.

Albert Einstein, the genius behind the theory of relativity, has recently been making headlines again. However, this time it is not for a new scientific breakthrough,    1     for a handwritten note he gave a bellboy 95 years ago.

In October 1922, Einstein was delivering a series of lectures in Japan     2     he received a telegram informing him that he     3     (award) the Nobel Prize for Physics. Though     4     (please) at the news, the Nobel winner decided to continue with his Japanese trip instead of     5     (head) to Stockholm to accept the honor.

While in Tokyo, he penned     6     note in German,saying “A quiet and humble life will bring more     7     (happy) than the pursuit of success...” Perhaps he had no loose change to tip a bellboy coming to deliver the message, he gave him the note, and told him,“Maybe if you are lucky, the note     8     (become) more valuable than just a regular tip. ”

Earlier this year, the bellboy’s nephew decided to hand it to Jerusalem-based Winner’s Auctions (拍卖) and Exhibitions. The note was then put up for auction,    9     might bring the owner a surprising $1.56 million     10     a European buyer. It was a record for an auction of a document in Israel and the wild-haired scientist deserved it.

6 . I never thought that little help would turn out to be the most satisfying thing I have ever done. He was tired, in pain and struggling to climb farther. With a broad smile, he asked me     1     I could help him with some money. He was paralyzed(残疾) in both     2    (leg) and was raising money for an operation. He said if doctors operated     3    (success), he could attend a training for a job. I was full of doubts. I even asked him     4    (show) his legs. In the end, I gave him some money. After a few days, he came back asking for more money. This time I was sure that he was cheating     5    (I). However, I gave him some.

A year later, I got a call from him. What he said was     6    (move). He said the operation was successful and he had got a job. He wanted to return my money so that I wouldn’t feel     7    (cheat) and would continue to help people who are     8     need in the future. I don’t know whether he guessed my facial expression that day, but tears     9    (run) down my face. That day I promised him I would continue to help people when I got an opportunity—small     10     big.

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a     1     (total) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.

Yet many       5     (difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely     6     their new surroundings. Also, they often find it hard     7     (develop) new friendship. Additionally, for a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new country     8     to return to his homeland. For example, after living in Australia for many years, Louis finally returned to the country     9     she was born. She didn’t know anything about current TV shows     10     fashion trends. And she didn’t share the same values as other teens of her age.

8 . China is a big old country,    1     has a history of more than five thousand years.

The Chinese traditional culture can be tested by the time. It unites the whole nation and no matter     6     kind of disaster comes, we will fight together for the country’s future. Today, many young people lose faith in traditional culture and they are crazy     7     the western culture. They follow the western fashion,     8     (think) we are the old style. But some day, they     9     (realize) they are wrong     10     (ignore) traditional culture.

According to a recent survey, violence did exist in schools. Students showed their fear and parents and teachers also     1    （express）their great concern about it. Experts hope     2     whole society pays more attention to the mental health of adolescents.

Nowadays, school violence is a hot issue. I think this is a phenomenon, which     3     (call) for our great concern. We should make every effort     4     (prevent) school violence happening at school, for more and more students would drop out of school if their personal     5     (safe) could not be guaranteed. In fact, violence can be learned.     6     (actual), children learn violence behavior from adults or from     7     they see on television or on the Internet.

If I meet with school violence, I will not answer violence with violence, for it will result in     8     (much) fighting. I will tell my teachers or parents about it. I think they will help me deal with it well and they will protect me from the bad guys.

All in all, we students should behave     9     (we) and keep away     10     violence.
