My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong    1     August 15, 2011. He had dreamed about     2     (visit) since his boyhood and it    3    (be) the first time that he had been there. The following was     4     he had seen.

Arriving there, he was    5    (impress) by its beautiful scenery and tall buildings. It is said that Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling     6    (face) there. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easygoing and ready to help others. Much to    7    (he) surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places.     8    crowds of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such a low voice as not to disturb one another.

Chinese and English are their official languages. English is     9    (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.Staying there for only a week was    10     good experience that he will never forget.

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!

As is known to all, a positive parent-child relationship is     1     (benefit) to the physical and mental     2     (grow) of children, but keeping a healthy parent-child bond     3     (need) the efforts of both parties.

Parents should take the responsibility     4     (improve) their relationship with the children. What matters is spending quality time with their children,     5     tight their schedule is. For instance they can eat     6     (meal) together, go to sporting events together or watch their children's favorite TV shows together,     7     can contribute greatly to making their children feel safe and     8     (love). Children, on the other hand, should let their parents know they appreciate what their parents     9     (do) for them. If possible, they can give their parents a gift on a special day or help with housework     10     a regular basis.

No healthy parent-child relationship is without conflict. But as long as parents and children make a joint effort, they can settle the conflict and enjoy their time together.

A reporter from Jiangsu Province went to Australia and some other countries with his father for a 3-month trip,    1    turned out to be a miracle (奇迹).

The reporter’s father spent most of his life     2     (work) on the farm. The son started these     3     (amaze) trips with his father because the father got cancer—a serious     4     (ill). The reporter wanted     5     (take) his father to travel in the hope that his father can find his younger self in his last days. They traveled more than 13,000 kilometers and took over 110,000 pictures on their trips to different     6    (country). Well, a miracle     7    (happen) during the “rebirth” trips.     8     their surprise, his father got     9     (good) and became more open-hearted.

He even taught himself to play     10    violin, and then he played it very well after practice. After that miracle trip, now he is expecting another trip to Africa. He is the most stylish dad ever. Time carves (雕刻) the old father’s face but youth flows in his blood. This is the real style.

Friendship is one of the most important things in everyone’s life.     1     is very difficult to find a better definition(定义) of friendship. A true friend is the person     2     can share all our sadness and double all our happiness. In time of trial(尝试), he or she is always at our side to give us his or her help and comfort. Knowing how     3     (value) friendship is, we should be very careful with our    4    (choose) of a friend. We should choose those people with a good character as our friends, but we must try to avoid     5     (make) friends with a bad man. Besides, we should forgive their mistakes and try to help them as much as possible.

A true friend can always     6     (trust), loved and respected. If you tell a friend your secrets, he or she won’t tell others. Friends share their     7     (joy) and sorrows. They help each other when they are     8     trouble, and cheer each other up when they are sad.     9     most important thing is that a friend always understands you.

In conclusion,     10     you have made a good friend, don’t forget him or her.

Although some of us enjoy being alone to reflect on     1     (us) for improvement, we can’t live without friends because we can benefit a lot     2     close friendships.

First, close friendships may comfort our hearts. With true friends, we are free     3     (share) our joy and sadness in full measure. We can say friendship has a double advantage—happiness     4     (take) on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble     5     (half).

Second, we can achieve a better understanding and     6     (judge) through conversations with close and wise friends. It is easier for us to recognize others’     7     (weak) than our own. On the other hand, our friends are     8     (well) able to offer advice to us when we make important decisions.

Third, friends may help us in many different ways. Because friends may have many different ideas and skills, they can help us achieve     9     we want in life.

Finally, it should     10     (point) out that we should carefully choose friends and develop relationships with them cautiously.
