2 . The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must _______ sixty hours of service learning, _______ they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. _______ of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. _______ a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a _______ about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many _______ of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think _______ their own interests and become _______ of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real­life skills that _______ responsibility, problem­solving, and working as part of a team. ________ students can explore possible careers ________ service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.

________ there are many benefits, opponents ________ problems with the new requirement. First, they ________ that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time­consuming, students spend ________ time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without ________ goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual’s freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to ________ to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. ________, I don’t believe you should force people to help others — the ________ to help must come from the heart. I think the best ________ is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

3 . For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.   Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing _______.

What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, _______ revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.

When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had _______ several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber _______ some of the music because the Phantom’s makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.

When you revise, you change aspects of your work in _______ to your evolving purpose, or to include _______ ideas or newly discovered information.

Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. _______, it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to _______ topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However, don’t make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows _______. Always make time to become your own ____________and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you ____________ new ideas.

Revising involves ____________ the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose ____________ throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the ____________ that is, facts, opinions, inferences — that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many ____________ details that may confuse readers?

4 . Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man_________out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very_________.She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could_________,but, of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness.

Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman,_______ an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with_______. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more_______to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people_______they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn’t_______as bad.

Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to_______her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foundation, an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to __________ “Big Bosses” lunches, where she would try to persuade local business leaders to ________to the cause. She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in “Ladybug Jars” to collect everyone`s spare change during “Make Change” month. More recently, the foundation began another ________ called National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s ________and homeless.

There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called “Hannah`s Place”, something that Hannah is very________of. Hannah`s Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that________outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of ________.For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the ________ of young people to change the world.

5 . Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,_______, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often_______the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business—_______that the customer remains a customer._______to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing_______, this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.

Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the_______implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big_______in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to_______increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.

In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and_______never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in__________profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).

The logic behind cultivating customer__________is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to__________them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.__________customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price__________, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it__________for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.
