1 . Life is filled with regrets. Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we have made better choices.     1    

Make better plans.

If you start to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better.

You will know what comes first and what comes last.     2     If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.

Live a more active life.

You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active.     3     “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.

    4    

A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you have to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always give you better ideas. When you get into trouble, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.

Never fear failure.

Everybody fails. Even the greatest person fails before he or she achieves success. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road.     5    

Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better and work better when we have the chance to do so.

A．You also need to be kind.

B．We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

C．What can we do to avoid future regrets?

D．Regrets play an important part in our daily life.

E．You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do.

F．Ask others for help.

G．Find the right friend.

2 . The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.    1    Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.    2    

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.    3    If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

    4    Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.     5    At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C．Everyone was new to the network once.

D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E．When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F．You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

G．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

6 . Lots of children want to know what to give their mom for Mother’s Day. Of course, a handsome card is always great, but it can be ________ to come up with that extra something.

One day, my friend Ollie and I were discussing what gift is good enough for his ________ Abuela, who is pretty much like a mom to him.

7 . Choosing where to lay your head in London can be a tricky affair. But with a lot of fashionable design hotels to choose from, you can surely book into a satisfying one. Trust us.

The Ham Yard Hotel

If you need to be in Mayfair or Soho, Ham Yard is perfectly located as it's housed in an “urban village” setting at the bottom of Regent Street. The light-filled modern building is decorated with signature Kit Kemp inside.

Doubles from £ 662 per night

The Hoxton Hotel

East London's first "destination" hotel opened in 2006 and it's since won fans for its affordable rooms in a great location. Sure, its “shoebox" rooms are on the small side, but they're smartly designed and you'll get a fridge filled with snacks, a cool phone to use and fast WiFi.

Doubles from £ 138 per night

The Artist Residence Hotel

Occupying a handsome five-storey terrace in Pimlico, this hotel's grand surroundings cover up its cool inside. You'll find other artist living houses in Brighton, Penzance and Oxfordshire, but the touches to this London branch make it a must-visit.

Doubles from £ 225 per night

The Great Northern Hotel

London's first railway hotel has just got a multi-million-pound redecoration. Dating back to 1854, the Great Northern Hotel now stands proud between the Eurostar's St. Pancras terminal and King's Cross. Mini rooms modelled on sleeper carriages sit beside store rooms filled with tea, coffee and cakes, but the main attractive thing is the extra hours' sleep you'll get being so close to the train platform ----we calculate it as a three-minute dash.

Doubles from £ 188 per night

8 . I moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school. Not only was this a new school for me but also a new state, ______ I did not know anyone.

During lunch on the first day of school, I sat down at a(n) ______ table in the canteen. As I began to eat, I looked around and saw a girl who was also sitting alone. I decided to ______ with her, thinking there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and maybe I could ______ a friend. I walked to her and said, “Excuse me, do you ______ if I sit with you?” She was ______ at first, but then smiled and said, “Sure!”

After that, we became close friends throughout the next two ______. In our senior year, she told me that she'd been ______ by a college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad, and I knew I would ______ her. But at the same time, I was really ______ for her.
