There was a state     1     (call) Zhou (周) in the Chinese history. One day, the king of Zhou asked his officials for advice on     2     (deal) with prisoners of war. An official said, “If you love someone, you     3     (suppose) to love even the crows on the roof of his house. The prisoners of war are enemies fighting     4     us. In my opinion, we’d better kill them all.”

But the king didn’t agree with him. “I think we should treat the prisoners of war     5     (different) by differing them into those     6     are guilty or not. The guilty ones will be sentenced to death in order to avoid future disasters.”

Then another one said, “Your majesty, I think all the prisoners should be set free and sent back home to work in the fields and support     7     (them) by their own labor.     8     , you should keep strictly the rules for reward and     9     (punish). The people are sure to believe in you if you govern our country by morals and laws.”

The king thought the official’s proposal was quite reasonable so he accepted and followed it. As a result,     10     domestic situation soon settled down and gradually the country became stronger.

Anna had a car accident when she was a teenager. She     1     (lose) her arms because of that. What’s     2     (worse), when she was 20 years old, she lost her parents. Her sister, who is ten years older than her, told Anna she’d take care of her. However, Anna refused to    3     (live) with her. Instead, Anna said she’d take care of     4     (herself). She managed to enter college and studied very hard. Four years later, Anna graduated and was offered work. Once she     5     (write) in her diary, “I am quite lucky.     6     I lost my arms, I still have my legs.”

Anna lost her arms     7     she chose to face it in a positive (积极的) way. Instead of feeling sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us a good lesson.

When something bad happens to us, we have two     8     (choice). One is to complain, and     9     other is to face it bravely. Just choose     10     (wisely). If you decide to be brave and strong, new hopes will come.

My friend Tony and I always walk hoe together after school. Last Monday, however, something happened     1     our way back.

We were walking that day when we heard     2     loud cry behind us. Looking around, we were     3     (surprise) to see a woman lying on the ground. It seemed that she was     4     (injure) badly. We hurried to her,    5     a man came over to stop us from     6     (help) the woman. Some     7     (girl) walking by even laughed at us. We got very angry with the people     8     were cold to the woman. Then the man     9     (ask) us to turn around to see a man carrying a video camera on     10     (he) shoulder. They were just making a film!

I have a fifteen-year-old son. He    1     (be) a perfect boy. I love my son with all my heart.

Last summer he worked to earn money for his new bicycle instead of     2     (ask) money from me. Then he spent hours and hours on it. Later I bought him a pair    3    glasses and gloves. My son rode the bicycle with the glasses and the gloves, and he looked so cool. He dreamed of taking part in a race and winning.

On November 10, my birthday, when I went to the kitchen to start the milk and bread in the morning, I     4     (notice) a beautiful guitar on the table, beside which was a card. It said, “Happy birthday to my    5     (wonder) mother, all my love, your son.” I was very    6    (surprise) and then began to sob (抽泣). I remembered once I joked to my family that I wished    7     (learn) to play the guitar to make my life more colorful. I had forgotten it, but my son remembered. He took it    8     (serious), and bought one for me as my birthday gift. When I wondered     9     my son could buy this expensive gift, I realized that my son sold his bicycle to get me     10     guitar.

An old woman had     1     cat. The cat was very old. She could not run     2    (quick), and she could not bite,     3    she was so old. One day, the old cat saw a mouse. She jumped and     4    (catch) the mouse. But she could not bite     5    , so the mouse got out     6    her mouth and ran away.

Then the old woman became very     7    (anger) because the cat did not kill the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said: “Do not hit your old servant (仆人). I     8    (work) for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I’m too old. Do not be     9    (kind) to the old, but remember     10     good work the old did when they were young.”

When I was in my first year of college, I felt hopeless, lonely and very depressed.     1     one such day, I was walking from class across campus to catch my bus home, head down, fighting tears of despair, when     2     old man came along the sidewalk toward me. I     3    (not see) him before. Embarrassed at being seen in such an emotional mess, I turned my head away and tried to hurry past. I thought he would walk on by, but he moved     4     he was directly in front of me, waited, and then smiled.

    5     (look) into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “    6     is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK. Just hang on.” I cannot explain the impact of that moment. He gave me one thing I had lost     7     (complete): hope. I looked for him on campus     8     (thank) him, but never saw     9     (he) again.

That was thirty years ago. I have never forgotten that moment,     10     taught me to give hope to others whenever I see them in distress (悲痛，苦恼).

Scientists usually have to do thousands of     1    (experiment)in order to prove something new or true. They often fail,     2     they never give up.

My neighbour     3    (be)a scientist. He studies chemistry. He is always working alone in     4    (he)lab, trying to figure out all the mysteries that make him     5    (puzzle). One day, when I met him, he had just come back     6     work. Tired as he was, he     7    (sound)so excited. Then I noticed that he was wearing shoes     8     did not match. He must have been working too hard to notice that!

Now I have come to realize that it’s good for you     9    (do)a job that interests you. You will be absorbed in it, and push yourself hard with it     10    (happy).
