Recently, there is one thing that I can hardly     1     (容忍). That is the noise music coming from a nearby shop. Frankly, I can never tolerate     2     (listen) to such kind of music. That is, it is     3    (我无法忍受). But my mother always tells me that I should be     4    (tolerate) of that noise. Anyway, they need it to attract more customers.

I used to be a lazy student who often fell asleep in class. Worse still, I associated with bad friends. As a result, I was     1    (落后的) in my studies. It was not until the beginning of the new term that I     2    (开始) to behave well because my English teacher, Miss Yang, a beautiful and attractive lady, kept encouraging me not to give up studying. Under her influence, I was aware of my mistakes and decided to change my     3    (态度) entirely. Every day I     4    (上学) school on time and pay attention to my teachers in class. To     5    (避免) making the same mistakes, I usually attach a note to my desk as a reminder. Knowing that my studies are     6    (糟糕的), I want to improve it badly by making an effort. First, I     7    (醒来) early in the morning to do some reading aloud and attempt to learn the basic knowledge by heart. Also, my teachers are ready to assist me with my studies. With their help, it is not long before I make progress and catch up with my classmates. Not long ago, I participated in an Spoken English Contest on     8    (代表) of my class and I held the firm belief that I would     9    (打败) the other competitors. What astonished everybody was that I attained the championship and was     10    (授予) a gold medal. Now, not only do I go all out to study but I often exercise because only in this way can I keep the balance between study and relaxation.

One day while we were     1     (躺) on the grass, he     2     (对……撒谎) to me that he     3     (放置) the eggs that the hen had just     4     (下蛋) on the table. I knew he was telling a     5     (谎言).

Danny was nearly knocking into a passing car when a passer-by pushed him to safety.    1     (他眼里含着感激的泪水，哽咽着感谢这个过路人), “Thank you so much!”   But the passer-by just smiled warmly.    2    (彼得在寒冷的天气里，感到一阵暖意), he began to believe there was kindness in every corner.    3    (看到陌生人之间这般彼此关照，实在令人感动).    4    (深受感动), the crowd clapped their hands loudly. Later, knowing what had happened,     5    (母亲流下喜悦和感激的泪水).

The door opened and in came a young man. Shocked to see us packing things into our suitcase, the young man     1    (愤怒地大叫了一声，眼里闪烁着恼怒的光芒。).     2    (他大发雷霆，跺着脚走来走去). He accused us of illegally entering his room and threatened to call the police, which scared my children to death. Just at that moment, my husband returned after his grocery shopping.Hearing the man’s rude words,     3    (一股怒火在心中燃烧). It seemed that no settlement would be possible, and the situation reached a boiling point.    4    争吵如火上浇油，于是他的愤怒就像火山一样爆发了). Eventually,       5    (无法控制心中的怒气，我丈夫气得冲出房间,狠狠地摔上门).

Steven walked slowly to the bus,     1    (低着头), tears in his eyes. His friend John     2    (向他点头) and smiled at him. Though he was in a bad mood, he     3    (低下头)to hide it and managed a smile. When he got home, he     4    (埋头) under the quilt, pretending to be asleep. However, his mother stopped her housework,     5    (抬头) with surprise in her eyes. Then Steven rose, sat close to his mother,     6    (把头靠在) her shoulder, and could hardly resist weeping.

When I was at senior high school, my family moved around a lot. As a result, I had to go to     1     (schools) and meet     2     (people). I believe those     3     (experiences) gave me     4     (social skills). I find them     5     (useful) in life. I often take part in     6     (activities). And now I run a social club with     7     (friends)， which raises     8     (money) for homeless people. Certainly, I use     9     (skills)     10     (well) there. I like communicating with homeless people, giving them hope and love.

The activity is scheduled to last about two hours, from 3: 30 pm to 5: 30 pm in the school hall. It covers a wide variety of content.     2    (我们不仅能够欣赏到许多吸引人的编织艺术作品, 从桌椅到各种装饰品不一而足), but also we’ll watch the documentary     3    (有关的) the history of the weaving art.
