Dogs are often called “man’s best friend” and make ideal pets.     1     most attractive quality of a dog is its faith in its owner. They always greet us when we come home and they will never leave us when we are     2     danger.

Furthermore, dogs are strong animals     4     will protect us. Houses with dogs are considered much     5     (safe) than those with burglar alarms (防盗警报器). Not only will they stop thieves,     6     they will also guard against fire. For example, there was a serious fire and a dog managed     7     (pull) its owner out.

And     8     (final), dogs can be trained by people. Dogs can do a number of things that people can not. For example, they can find drugs, bodies, illegal DVDs and hunt down prisoners with     9     (they) nose. They’re also used to help the elderly and disabled.

To sum up, dogs are really friendly, civilized (文明的) and loyal     10     (partner) .

Some play games too much, and some visit websites     5     shouldn’t look at. So bad things may happen if students spend too much time on the Internet.

It is important for students to use the Internet     6     (proper). Now we have a textbook that uses many examples    7     (teach) students some good ways to use the Internet. It gives them useful     8     (advise).

Danny has a hobby—playing games online. He is interested     1     solving puzzles. He particularly enjoys chatting to other gamers.

Now Danny     2     (sit) quietly in front of his computer. His mother thinks he is doing his homework,     3     she is wrong. Danny is actually surfing the Internet, solving puzzles and “chatting” to other gamers     4     come from around the world. How funny it is! Danny thinks.

Why are game online so interesting? “    5     I can pretend to be a different person. There also many different     6     (kind) of games for me to play.” says Danny. “Other people love to play these games because they can play at any time. They do not need to organize a group. Someone in the world always wants     7     (play).”

Starting a game online is not easy. Some gamers don’t welcome new gamers. They will become     8     (anger) when new gamers ask them questions. Other gamers are helpful. They want to make new friends. When Danny has     9     question, he always says, “Excuse me, are you busy? I am new at this game and I need some help.” Sometimes this     10    (work). At other times, however, the gamer at the other end makes you feel like fool.

There are thousands of endangered species in the world. If the rate    1    which they are dying out continues to rise, millions of plants and animals will become extinct    2    (immediate) in the next decade. The Giant Panda,    3    (know) as a symbol of conservation, might be one of them. Apart from the few pandas    4    (live) in zoos and conservation centres around the world, pandas     5    (find) only in the bamboo forest in southwest China. They are endangered as their habitats are being destroyed due to human    6    (activity). Because of conservation efforts,    7    number of pandas is increasing according to a recent survey.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the     1     (effect) ways to improve our English writing ability. I was attracted     2     keeping a diary in English when I was young.

    3     (compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we keep practicing, gradually we’ll learn how to express     4     (we) in English. In keeping a diary in English, we     5     (certain) meet many     6     (difficulty). Firstly, it often happens that we have trouble     7     (find) suitable words and phrases (短语) to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic (惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese and it is hard for us to put them into English properly.

As far as I am concerned, my advice     8     (be) that we should always have a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. We can also have a notebook     9     we can first put something down and then look it up in our dictionary whenever something beats us. In addition, we can turn to our English teacher for help if necessary. In short, I believe that keeping a diary in English will make     10     difference in our writing skills.
