If there is one person who has left a deep     1     (impress) on me, it’s my teacher, Mrs Pathak,     2     was my class teacher for three years. In my childhood, how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her. One moment she could be tough (严厉的) and strict, another moment kind and patient. She always asked us to tell     3     truth. For example, if one had not done the homework, he needn’t have lied. She allowed us to make mistakes,     4     (say) we couldn’t be perfect all the time, but we should try.

Another thing she taught me was punctuality (守时). She set a good example with her own behaviour. She was always on time, so we students tried our best to be on time. She surprised us     5     her sense of humor. Her classroom teaching was always     6     (humor). After class, she talked to us and told us jokes.

We     7     (real) felt free to ask questions and Mrs Pathak would give the answers. If she did not know, we all then tried to find out the answers. Whoever     8     (come) up with the answer would be praised and given the prize. Now I sometimes wonder whether Mrs Pathak was pretending just to encourage us     9     (explore) and find answers by     10     (we).

In your daily life，there are many examples where your parents control hundreds     1     things for you when you are a kid，such as the clothes you wear，the food you eat，where you go and how you get there.It is a good thing.Kids need this kind of     2     (protect)and help because they are not old enough to take care of     3     and make decisions     4     (correct)．But with you growing     5    (old)，the part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that     6    (separate)from your parents'.Different attitudes towards events like partying may lead to arguments，because your parents will always want to protect you and keep you safe，no matter how old you are.As     7     result，your parents feel it hard to get used to the new situation with    8     (increase)anxiety（焦虑）.What kids should keep in mind is    9     your parents can relate to（理解） what you're going through because they     10     (be)teens once.

Until recently, Shade Ajayi had never gone to school. Now 50，the businesswoman is learning to read and write alongside students nearly 40 years    1     (young) than she is. Ajayi attends a school in Ilorin, in Nigeria’s western Kwara state. She wears the same school clothing as hundreds of girls do at her school: a pink dress and head covering.

As a child, Ajayi worked in her aunt's shop instead    2    attending school. She now runs her own business    3    (make) and selling purses and bags. But she believes her inability to read or write is holding her back.

She sits in a class with students aged 11 to 13    4    raises her hand to answer questions. Ajayi's teacher said she did not appear worried about the age    5    (different) with other students. Ajayi’s daughter, Shola Adeboye, said at first, she felt awkward that her mother attended school alongside    6    (child). But later, she supported her mother's efforts.

Ajayi still makes bags and purses after finishing classes. A helper    7    (serve) her customers during school hours. She plans    8    (continue) her education for four more years, saying it will be    9    (help) to her business. And she does not seem to care about     10     others may say about her. Ajayi said, “It’s my duty not to pay attention to what they’re saying.”

At each stage of our life, we meet different kinds of people. Some are funny; some teach us lessons in life while others occupy a special space in our heart. The people     1     (call)“best friends” are just these special     2    (friend).

In our childhood, “best friends”might have meant the persons who are always by our side, whether it may be in the classroom or in the dining hall. However, as we are getting     3     (old) than before, our definition(定义)of “best friends” changes. In my opinion, best friends are those who love you     4     who you are and help you become who you should be. People in our life come and go, but some people stay. They are the people we should never lose.

True friends are those     5     will never leave you when you need them most. They are always there waiting for you and they love you when you forget to love     6     (you). The best feeling in the whole world is knowing that there is     7     person who always prays for us and always keeps us in his/her thought. Friendship may not     8     (necessary)be based on age, but it is based on     9     (understand). Even our parents also can be our best friends! So let us build our friendship and try our best     10     (see)the good side of everyone!

Jack and I are good friends. We tried to walk across the United States of America. We’re not exactly sure why we were doing it. Part of     1     (its) was to test ourselves; to see     2     we could face the challenges. When I was a teenager, I often daydreamed that I was going to walk across the United States after     3    (graduate) from high school.    4     , I didn’t do that.

Before I knew it, I was     5    my thirties，married, a job, yet still had this idea in my mind with each passing year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity     6    (pass). Then, a few years ago, I met Jack, who     7     (be) thirty­five years old and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. He wasn’t doing it for a cause as part of an organization. He was doing it     8    (simple) because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20 miles a day and taking some days off     9    (rest), so we expected that the walk will take about 6 months, realizing it could take     10    (long). We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100 miles.

You give a smile to    1    world, and the world will give you many    2    ( smile). Smiling is a kind of body language and it's very useful. Not only can a beautiful smile make ourselves happy, but also it enables others    3    (feel) delighted. Sometimes a smile is so remarkable that it gives people who suffer    4    disasters great courage.

A little boy named Lang Zheng, for instance,    5    (impress) and encouraged a great many people in a serious earthquake in Wenchuan. Right after he    6    ( save) by the soldiers from the ruins, he smiled to them. His smile was like sunshine    7     warmed people in    8    (sad).

We can say that without smile our life would be colorless and    9    ( difficulty). It is suggested that we should smile as much as possible. Smile    10    (give) people strong strength and makes troubled people see the hope and light.

The person I love most is my mother. She was     1    Chinese teacher in a high school for over 40 years before she retired (退休) in 1990. Mother     2    (do) a lot for me when I was a child. She always cooked us delicious and     3    (health) foods. In fact, she was the     4    (good) cook in the world in my eyes.

Mother is 80 years old now and is     5    old to cook. One day I invited her     6    (go) out for dinner. We went to a restaurant,     7    was not big, but very nice and quiet. Mom took my arm as if she were the First Lady.     8    we took our seats, I had to read the menu. She could not see very well. While reading the menu, I raised my eyes and saw Mom     9    (sit) there looking at me. There was a proud smile on her face. “I read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relaxed and let me return     10    you have done for me,” I replied.
