Last Saturday, my friends and I go to climb the West Mountain. While climb, we enjoyed the sunny weather and a beautiful view. We were very delighted reach the top without much time or effort. Therefore, we found it more difficult to go down, so we went slowly but helped each other when necessary. Though I took care a lot, unfortunately I slipped and hurt me leg badly. As the result, I could hardly stand up. One of my friend came to me immediately and carried me on the back till we reached for the foot of the mountain. I was very thankful and felt proudly of having such good friends.

4 . Early in my teaching career, I heard countless excuses—most of them amusing—for why students didn’t have their homework. “The dog ate it” was one of them. As time passed, I grew tired of hearing “I don’t have my homework because...” So I stopped accepting any________.

When I was________ to another school, I took my straightforward attitude with me. “No excuses, no extensions!” I________ my eighth graders on the first day. I________ homework at the beginning of each class. When a student didn’t have the homework, I never asked why. ________, I sighed loudly, shook my head in disgust and________ a zero in the grade book. One afternoon, shortly after the________ bell rang, Anthony________ me. “Could I talk to you a minute?” he asked shyly. “I know what you said about our homework, but I don’t want you to think I’m a slacker (懒虫) because I come to school________ mine so often.”

Anthony looked up at me, and I could see his lower lip trembling. “It’s just that...well, my dad moved out, and my mom works at night, so I have to________ my little brothers. Sometimes they cry a lot, which makes it hard to________.” I put my hand on Anthony’s thin shoulder. “Why are you just now telling me…” I stopped in mid-sentence. I knew why. So I________ the question.

“Would it help if you stayed here after school and worked on it?” He swallowed hard and________. The next day, I announced to all my students that I’d be offering an after-school study hall.

Anthony was the first to________. Several days later, Terrell joined him, ________ by twins Sandy and Randy. Before long, I had a room full of eighth graders to work on their lessons. I never asked why any of them was there, but I soon had a large________ of “I don’t have my homework because...” stories. All were very________. None were amusing. The things I learned weren’t________ in college. I discovered not all kids come from homes that are safe and________. Not all kids have a quiet bedroom with a desk and study light. Some don’t have a home where a parent is even around. And some kids do go to bed________. Most importantly, I learned that “I’ll listen” works better than “No excuses”.

10 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Wang Tianchang and his family moved into the Gobi Desert 22 years ago. They have been fighting with the desert ever since,     1     (become) a symbol of China’s anti-desertification(治荒漠化)campaign.

Wang,     2     native of Gansu Province, grew up with the Gobi Desert. In 1998, Wang’s family moved into the desert. They started planting bushes and sapling. To fund their efforts, they sold most of their farm animals and there were only 6 sheep     3    (leave) to support themselves. To make matters     4     (bad), the trees they had planted in the first two years       5     (blow)away by strong winds, because they weren’t familiar with the environment. Then they learned that adaptable grasses were ideal for holding down the sand. A bush known as the sweet-vetch has an 80 percent survival rate even in severe desert conditions,     6     has become a key part of the Wang’s efforts.

Now, although Wang is suffering from serious health     7     (problem) and is in his late 70s, he has no plans     8     (quit) his mission. His efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Chinese government not only appointed(委任)Wang Tianchang and his sons     9     forest ranchers(大农场主), but also started funding their work. The family’s home is now surrounded by a     10     (beauty) vegetable garden, proving that land can in fact be transformed from the desert.
