Well, a miracle happened during the “rebirth”trips.    7     their surprise, his father got    8    (good)and became more open-hearted.

Once a young man was passing by a street,     1    he saw an old man begging for money. That old man was sitting there with     2     empty bowl in front of him,and a cardboard sign was put up beside the bowl. There was a sentence     3    (write) on the cardboard: "Blind — Please help!"

The young man felt very bad that no one planned     4    (give) him any money. So he went to the old man and took his cardboard in his hand. He then took a thick marker pen out of his pocket and re-wrote the sign quickly and then left. The old man noticed that someone was writing something     5    (differ) on the board but didn't say anything.

Just in a few minutes, that empty bowl     6    (fill) with money. The old man noticed that and stopped a stranger and asked him     7     was on that cardboard. The stranger replied, "It says,'It's a beautiful day. You can see it. I cannot.'"

During my recent travels in China, I went from the top to the bottom of the country. I was astonished at     1    different the weather was in different cities.

The weather was    2     (extreme) cold in Harbin, but felt much warmer in Shanghai, Guilin, Qingdao and Yangshuo. Each city has a different feel and allows you    3     (experience) different things.

In Qingdao, we ate seafood,     4     (drink) beer and swam in the sea. In Harbin, we wore our warmest jackets and saw the    5     (amaze) ice and snow sculptures. Shanghai reminded me    6    a city in Europe or America. There were lots of Western cafes there. Guilin was a good place to be touring around during the Spring Festival. Fireworks filled the sky and the streets were filled with happy people.

But Yangshuo    7     (be) my favorite city of all. I could not stop taking    8     (photo) of the beautiful mountains and the Li River. I rode a bicycle along the Yulong River in the warm sun and I ate strawberries and drank tea    9    came from farms in the mountains.

Now, Back in Beijing, I am looking forward to the next trip. I suppose I    10     (go) to another warm place next time.

A firefighter prevented a woman from being hit by a train

It was late, about 10:15p.m. Esposito    1    (get) off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the road    2    she almost drove automatically turned left to the Station Road, then another let onto Montauk Highway, and then — bam! When Esposito’s car had just crossed the two railroad    3    (track), it hit a big tree and was pushed back.    4    (injure) but mostly shocked by the crash, she    5    (trap) in the car.

As it happened, John was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw    6    accident not far outside his bedroom window.    7    a volunteer firefighter, John, who was 65, fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. He discovered Esposito’s car straddling (横跨) the railways. And then he heard the train alarm go off,    8    signaled a train’s arrival.

    9    (immediate) John rushed to Esposito’s car but the driver’s door couldn’t be opened due to the crash, so John ran to the other side and managed    10    (open)another door. Finally he got Esposito out to safety. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the car.

It was Mother's Day morning last year. My five­year­old son, Tenyson, and I     1     (leave)the supermarket after shopping when an old woman fell over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but the woman was     2       (serious) hurt and shaking with pain.

At the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group was selling flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we     3     ( buy) the lady a flower. “It will make     4       feel better，” he said. I was amazed that he'd come up     5       such a sweet idea. So we went to the flower seller to buy a flower for the lady.

By now rescuers had arrived, and were attending the     6     (injure)woman. As we walked up to her, my son became frightened by all the blood and medical     7    (equip). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband     8       told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and bought her this flower to cheer her up.”

At that, the old man was moved and said, “Thank you so much, you have a good son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”

The man then gave his wife the flower,     9     (tell) her who it was from.     10       badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with thanks in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

During the Spring Festival, my parents and some of my relatives gave me some gift money. What should I do    1    the money? I had attempted    2    (have) a new coat. I    3    (imagine) wearing a pair of Nike sports shoes. With the gift money I could afford to buy    4    I wanted.     5    , I soon gave up the idea because I knew I was still a student at school.

Besides, my parents always lived    6    simple life. Their money was not    7    (easy) earned. Thinking of this, I decided to open a savings account at a bank the following day. My parents were very    8    (please) with my idea. From now on, I’ll make both    9    (end) meet as a student financially supported by my parents. I am looking forward to my dream    10    (realize )one day with the money through my hard work.

Anna had a car accident when she was a teenager. She lost her arms because of that. What’s worse, when she was twenty years old, she lost her parents. Her elder sister,     1     is ten years older than   her, told her she’d take care of her. However, Anna refused     2     (live) with her. Instead, she said she would take care of       3     (she). She managed to enter college and     4     (study) very hard. Four     5    (year) later, she graduated and was offered work. Once she wrote in her diary, “I am quite lucky.     6     I lost my arms, I still have my legs.” Anna lost her arms, but she chose to face it in a positive way. Instead of     7     (feel) sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us     8     good lesson.

When something bad happens to us, we have two     9     (choose). One is to complain, and the other is to face it       10     (brave). If we choose to escape, it will always follow us wherever we go. If we decided to be strong, new hopes will come. So choose wisely.
