When I was in primary school, I disliked doing exercise. I felt tired when I     1    (do) any kind of exercise. My parents were really     2    (worry) about my health. One day, after having supper, my father     3    (come) and asked me to have     4     walk with him in the park. I agreed and we went out together. It was hard for me to walk for half     5     hour. I wanted to give up,     6     my father encouraged me to keep on walking. From then on, I was often asked to walk with my parents. To my surprise, I could walk for an hour in the     7    (five) month. How     8    (pride) I felt! I loved taking exercise gradually. Now I am an excellent runner in my school. I take part in the school sports meeting every year.

During all our life, we may face a lot of     9    (difficulty). Don’t be afraid of them. Please try to face them     10    (brave). After you overcome what you used to be afraid of, you may find how great you are!

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine. The longer it    1     (keep), the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best     2     (choose), but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget     3     (enjoy) the beauty of life and the beauty of friendship; they work hard in order to gain a     4     (high) position in society and to earn more money for their work. Of course, we don’t deny that it is important to find a better place in our     5     (life), but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention     6     themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When     7     (stay) with our friends, we can release ourselves     8     (complete). We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together,     9     even cry together. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn’t even have a friend, but it doesn’t mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is     10    famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.”

When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act    1    (it)rather than the things you buy that matters. Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers.    2    , I had never got anything from my son, who is    3    university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children's birthday, but their children seem to be very forgetful. They seldom do something in return.

Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual,    4    (meet)him at the station. On arriving home, much    5    my surprise, my son took out a fashionable wrist watch and gave it to me,    6    (say)it was a birthday gift for me. You can imagine how    7    (surprise)and excited I was at that moment!

Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents,    8    they never express thanks for. It is natural for people to have such concerns and    9    (worry), but things may not turn out as badly as    10    (expect).
