Jack was walking towards me, but my new friends raised their eyebrows and piled their backpacks on the table so that there was no space left for Jack to sit down. This awkward situation froze the air. I     1     (显得很冷漠) and lowered my head when Jack looked at me. “     2     (我真丢脸)！” I thought later，“I should have spoken up for him when he was driven away.” With strong feelings of guilt, I realized I     3     (罪魁祸首). Therefore, I went to him and made an apology. To my surprise, Jack forgave me at once and smiled.

I’d like to share with you a voluntary activity which you deserves     1     (participate) in this winter vacation.

I am convinced     4     (我们会对社区起作用) and     5     (渴望你积极地参与) in the activity.

As for my functions, first of all, I can     2     (接管大多数家务), including washing, mopping, cooking and     3     (取重物). In addition, I’m     4     (要么为陪伴老人而设计，要么为读故事而设计)for babies.     5     (如果每个家庭都有一个像我这样的家用机器人，生活将会更容易和更令人满意)!

Last Sunday our school organized a visit to the Great Wall, with the aim of helping the foreign students in our school admire the beautiful scenery in China.

The moment we got there by school bus,     1     (我们迫不及待地想爬上去). Seeing this fantastic wonder, the foreign students couldn’t help speaking highly of     2     (中国古代人民的建筑能力). As the tour guide, I told them a     3     (hand) of stories about the Great Wall, (and they were interested in them)     4     (用“介词＋关系代词”升级加黑体部分). Though     5     (用了大约三小时到达最高部分)，we were all in high spirits.

It was obvious that the grand construction left a deep impression on the foreign students and I feel proud of the great wisdom of Chinese people.

Being a sensitive girl, Helen     1     (不能忍受在陌生环境中的孤独). Heavy study pressures further fueled her dilemma. Not knowing how to release her emotions,     2     (她正经历着一段痛苦的时光) and she was seized by extreme sorrow.     3     (她渴望摆脱这种令人窒息的境况). Luckily, the monitor’s care and support sustained her through the difficult period. Gradually, Helen restored her confidence,     4     (下定决心不向任何困难屈服). Her inner loneliness finally melted away, a happy smile brightening her face.

    1    (随着网络购物的迅速发展)，there appear a number of problems including     2     (身份盗窃). There is no denying that online shopping brings us     3    (convenient) along with disadvantages.     4     (牢记以下建议).

Firstly, it is     5     (非常有益) use strong passwords，which are hard to crack. Furthermore, do not use public computers to shop online or click on unfamiliar links，    6    (以防你的私人信息被轻易泄露).

Just as the saying goes, “Better safe than sorry.” Hope the network can serve us better and more safely.

Though an increasing number of international students are learning Chinese, it may be     1     (对他们而言学好汉语很费力).

    2     (这在语言学习中是常有的事，定语从句),    3     (学习汉语也需要练习). Firstly, it’s of great importance to read     4     (与汉语相关的书籍，定语从句). Additionally, to improve your spoken Chinese, you should communicate more with the     5     (native). The more you communicate with the natives in Chinese,    6     (你就会说得越流利). Aside from that, it’s helpful to watch some Chinese films or TV programs. Finally,    7     (有积极的态度) no matter what trouble you may have learning it.

    1     (我写信感谢你的及时救援), without which my life couldn’t return to normal.

A few days ago,     2     (一场极其可怕的地震袭击了我的家乡), leaving many houses in ruins.     3     (shock) to find everything buried under the fallen houses, I burst into tears.     4     (世界似乎到了尽头). Thankfully, although you were strangers, you     5     (不遗余力) provide enough food and water for us to survive on. With strong support from the government and your generous aid, a new town was built upon the earthquake     6     (ruin).

I can’t express my gratitude too much.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

I am afraid that the kids from other schools will     3     (对我评头论足).” Although a brain disease prevented him from walking or running like other children, his classmates viewed him as a regular kid and     4     (钦佩他令人惊奇的意志力). Finally,     5     (使我惊喜的是) he promised to run and he swung his feet toward the starting line.
