Lisa Bailey took her gloves off when     1    (take) her dog for a long walk on a winter day and didn’t notice anything until that evening. She was shocked when she realized her beautiful anniversary ring was lost. She     2     (hurry) back to look for it but couldn’t find anything. Her husband kept going on a website where people sell jewellery,     3     never found it.

All that changed，however, thanks to a recent post (文章)    4    (write) on the local police department’s page. A woman police officer posted, “If anybody knows of anybody losing a diamond ring, please contact us.” One of her friends read it and wrote on it “Lisa Bailey”.

The police station happened to find some unidentified     5    (jewel) in a local pawnshop (当铺) and took them away. When Bailey     6    (learn)from her friend that her ring might have been found, she couldn’t believe it.

The police called Bailey and asked her to describe it. She sent a picture of it to     7     and then they asked if she could come to the police station. When the police officer     8     had written the post handed her the ring the next day, she was very thrilled and started to shed tears. She could wear her anniversary ring home     9    (final) after three years’ wait.

Bailey’s husband had offered to replace the ring after it went     10    (miss), but she refused because she thought it wouldn’t be the same.

During the summer vacation, I took part in     1     16^th Natural English Contest（竞赛）, in which I was listed in the top 10 and     2    （gain）valuable experience.

I never expected     3    （go）that far. And I had never thought about standing that high on the stage.     4     at that moment, I set out for the long ride, All I had to do was try.

Preparing for the contest, practicing a 3-minute speech, and overcoming stage fright（怯场）, I spared no effort to take part in the competition.

One of my     5    （teammate）, my good friend in my school, gave me lots of encouragement and advice during the contest. Her ideas were new and powerful and she stayed quite calm when she was fighting against her     6    （compete）. She was like my coach,     7     showed me how to search for related materials online and how to express my own view     8    （clear）.

Thanks     9     the contest and the help pf my friend, I now feel relaxed on stage and confident when     10    （talk）.

Six years ago when Breanne Zolfo started Cafe Fresco in Indiana, she wanted to do something special. She wanted not only a place with fine food but also a place       1     is full of love.

Here is what Breanne did. She and her employees (员工) started writing small     2     (saying) on the coffee cup sleeves (杯套). It became so popular that they now write sentences on more than 200 sleeves each day. Then about three years ago, Breanne began encouraging her customers     3     (bring) more happiness into their lives by doing good deeds.

Customers began donating clothes to those     4     (home) people or doing other kind acts, and each time they do, they     5     (give) a free cup of coffee. The customers love it and feel like doing     6     (they) small part, too.

Besides, each week Breanne and her employees take all the money from their “Community Love Tip” and use it to surprise someone     7     need. After a man told them he     8     (true) needed a bike，they bought one for him. Later he told the team     9     bike changed his life，because it gave him the transportation that he needed to get a job. So, can a little coffee shop make a     10     (different)? Yes! Cafe Fresco does so each day.

6 . “I’ve always been really loving traveling and sharing that experience     1    others,”says Namita Kulkarni. But as a yoga(瑜伽)teacher,it was       2    (actual) difficult for her to travel on her own money. She decided     3     (enter) a travel race called"Realize Your Dream”.

“They asked us to show our love for travel     4    I showed a picture of me jumping off a waterfall in Mauritius,”she says. The     5     (amaze) picture won her a spot in the finals and after a round of interviews, she was chosen as a       6    (win). Her prize was a 12-day dream vacation to Bolivia.“I     7    (attract) by Bolivia's beauty at that time,” she says. “Too often, I do believe seeing fountains(喷泉), salt flats, and lakes of different colors is a good chance to open up my sense of     8     world.”

This trip encouraged her to start her blog Radically Ever After to record some of her exciting     9     (trip). Now she is living her dream, traveling throughout the globe and teaching yoga.“Winning the travel race made me feel     10     (confidence) to follow what I really love most,”she says.

This beautiful world is full of love. I will never forget my own experience at a busy toll station (收费站) in Chicago during rush hour traffic. One afternoon, before     1     (arrive) at the toll station, I had the exact amount of change—coins into the basket, one escaped and couldn’t     2     (find) anywhere.

There was a long line of cars with drivers who     3     (wait) for their turn eagerly to pay so that they could continue to drive to their destinations. I sat there, feeling totally     4     (help). About two minutes later, a man came and asked     5     I looked so worried. Then I told him what had happened. After listening to my words, he immediately put     6     coin into the basket for me.

“Thank you,” I said     7     (grateful) as he headed back to his car. “You are welcome. Have a nice day,” he replied. His     8     (kind) saved me that day.

There are also countless kind people in the world. They choose to be kind     9     others who are in need, because it gives them a sense of inner peace and joy. Their good deeds have taught me     10     (behave) like them—doing something positive for another human being—however big or small.

No matter your age, you may consider My Neighbor Totoro an     1     (impress) movie. Delighted, heartwarming, and just plain beautiful, Totoro is one of Hayao Miyazaki’s most beloved     2     (work). A creative couple in Takaharu, Japan wanted to bring that magic to life in the real world. So they    3     (create) the immediately recognizable Totoro bus stop for their grandchildren. The life-sized     4     (construct) quickly turned into a local tourist attraction.

I don’t know about you, but I want to go there immediately, even if it’s raining.

Wood, bricks, and cement (水泥) might not sound like a magical mixture, but in the hands of an     5     (experience) worker, they became a real-life Totoro.

    6     old grandparents re-painted the bus stop for their children and grandchildren. And then they decided     7     (open) it to the sightseeing public. Thanks     8     their hard work, Totoro takes shape from a large, wooden bus stop to a painted masterpiece.

A local hotel which just steps away from the statue has been recording visitors from around the world. No matter     9     they’re from, every visitor has a look of joy on their face as they stand next to the statue. Totoro might     10     (make) from cold cement but no one can resist (抗拒) a warm hug.
