The hardships involved in building the Great Wall are beyond imagination. Large numbers of people had to leave their homes and families to go to the north,    1    they worked hard for years. Of the legends about the Great Wall, the story of Lady Meng Jiang is the most    2     (move). Lady Meng Jiang lived during the reign of the First Emperor of Qin. After her husband     3     ( call) up to build the Great Wall, she missed him so much    4    she traveled many miles to see him but only    5     (tell) that her husband had died and was buried under the Wall. She was    6     ( extreme) sad and cried for three days and nights until the Great Wall fell down one section after another.

Over the past centuries, the Great Wall    7     (become) a symbol of unity and    8     (strong) for Chinese people. It symbolizes that the great achievement can be made with    9    common will and joined effort. For example, the national anthem, composed during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, called on people to "build our new Great Wall    10    our flesh and blood".

I wanted to buy a pair of sports shoes for a long time. I had spent months    1    (save) up the money for them and finally I had enough. Last Sunday my friend Jake and I decided to go shopping together.

We took the bus into town and it was very    2    (crowd), so we had to stand all the way. Jake and I    3    (talk) when I suddenly noticed that my purse had gone! The bus had just stopped and there was a boy near me who was going    4    (quick) towards the door. We thought he had stolen my money so we got off the bus    5    followed him. The boy started running and then Jake ran after him, shouting “Stop! Thief”.    6    policeman saw what was going on and managed to catch the boy.

The    7    ( embarrass) thing was when the policeman searched the boy, he didn't have my purse!

The boy said we had made a mistake. His    8    ( explain) was that he had only started running because he was late    9    a meeting with friends. The policeman allowed him to go and I felt rally stupid.1 wish I hadn't been so careless and had kept an eye on    10    (I) bag!

3 . Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you get a closer look you will notice one of them is blind. Instead of     1     (abandon) him, his owner has made him a safe and comfortable barn to live in. And if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell     2     (come) from     3     smaller horse. Attached to     4     (it) halter (缰绳) is a small, copper-colored bell assisting the blind friend to follow him.

    5     you watch them, you’ll find the horse with the bell always checking on the blind one, and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to     6     the other one is, trusting he will not     7     (lead) astray (迷路地). When the horse with the bell returns to the barn each evening, he will stop     8     (frequent) to look back, making sure that the     9     isn’t too far behind to hear the bell．

Life does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of our acquaintances;     10     other times, we are the guide horse, who helps others to find their way.
