I met Kumkum at a children’s home in Delhi. It is a home where children     1    are sick are provided treatment and care before     2    (send) to some other orphanage. Kumkum was 7 years old, and     3     very brave soul.     4     suffering from tuberculosis (肺结核), I never saw her crying. She     5    (lose) her parents already and was struggling herself through this terrible disease.

Upon meeting, we took an instant liking to each other. Every Saturday I would visit Kumkum and play with her. She would love to sit on my lap. It was one such moment that the child felt like kissing me…and I suddenly remembered that she     6    (suffer) from tuberculosis which is a communicable (传染性的) disease. I tried to stop her but she really wanted to show her affection     7    me, so I overcame my fear and let her place the most gentle and sweet kiss on my cheek that I ever had.

    8    I overcame my fear at that moment, I     9    (not forgive) myself ever since for refusing her initially. Although the child kissed me, I think she sensed my hesitation because she has never kissed me again. I will never forget that     10    (beautiful) thing in this world is a child’s kiss…so full of love and innocence.

On this date of your 50th birthday，Mom gave me the letter you wrote to me when I was born 18 years ago.In your letter，you     1     (wish) me to be strongminded and successful.You were looking forward to     2    (see) me fight for my future bravely and do well for     3    (me) and others.

After reading this letter，I feel quite     4    (shock) at your     5    (expect) on me.I also feel shamed of not having performed well     6     (meet) your demand.I still remember when I was in primary school，I failed to apply myself to studying.I was addicted to computer games.As a consequence，I soon became the last one in my class.You didn't abuse me at all.    7     the contrary，you taught me that studying was the most important object at the moment and encouraged me to study hard.Only     8     I read your letter did I realize that I behaved so badly at that time and you were so sad to see I didn't do well for myself.

I can't help expressing my gratitude and sending my best wishes to you.Wish you     9     (health) and happy.I promise that I will spare no effort to satisfy your demand of being     10    brave and successful person.

Everyone has a childhood and childhood experiences are often very     1     (interest). Children often make us laugh.

I often remember my childhood, the years     2     many funny things happened. When I was a two-year-old child, both my parents were always very busy     3     their work. My mother worked as     4     sales manager in a company while my father served in the army. So I     5     (live) with my grandma in a village. I was always waiting for my parents at home. Once my father sent     6     (we) a photo of his in soldier’s uniform, which     7     (post) on the table reminding me of him.

Once my mother came to see me and we were going to the downtown together. On the way we saw a group of     8     (soldier). And when I saw them, I became very     9     (excite). I shouted in a loud voice, “This is my father, that one is my father, and he is my father, too...”

    10     (hear) this, my mother laughed and said she would remember that moment all her life.

A few months ago I left my hometown for Canada to study. I felt nervous because I was going to     1     new place with new people. What worried my at first was that I couldn’t speak English     2     (fluent), and I also couldn’t understand     3     (they) customs. Everything was different     4     my own country. I had to deal with everything alone.It was a sad moment     5     I had to say goodbye to my family and friends at the airport. Suddenly, I felt unwilling     6     (leave) my hometown because I grew up there and had wonderful     7     (memory) of the familiar place. However, I know studying abroad was a     8     (decide) that I made myself. I had to accept the challenge. By now I     9     (get) used to the new life here already, though I’m looking forward to     10    (spend) the coming vacation with my old friends back home.

Thirty years ago, an elderly Canadian couple undertook a unique project with the purpose of     1     (help) Canadians have a better understanding of China based on how the Chinese view themselves and the issues they face.

Their efforts resulted     2     the birth of a 1985 book, Understanding China Through Cartoons. They     3     (official) donated it to China on June 10, 2019.     4     (promote) knowledge about China among Canadians, they     5     (found) the Society for a Better Understanding of China in the early 1970s,     6     is now noted as the Canada-China Friendship Society”

The elderly couple     7     (be) determined to gift China with it as their admiration for Chinese culture-a role dating back thousands of years.

“China is the only nation that has been able to maintain its cultural     8     (grow) for thousands of years,” the husband said.

In fact, communication has been     9     best way to promote each other’s understanding and trust. We need     10     (many) people like the elderly Canadian couple as well as more institutions like the Canada-China Friendship Society.

At each stage of our life，we meet different kinds of people. Some are funny；some teach us lessons in life while others occupy a special space in our heart. The people     1    (call)“best friends” are just these special friends.

In our childhood，“best friends”might have meant the persons who are always by our side，    2    it may be in the classroom or in the dining hall. However，as we are getting    3     (old) than before，our definition(定义)of “best friends” changes. In my opinion，best friends are those who love you    4    who you are and help you become who you should be. People in our life come and go，but some people stay. They are the people we should never lose.

True friends are those who will never leave you when you need them most. They are always there    5    (wait)for you and they love you when you forget to love    6    (you)．The best feeling in the whole world is knowing that there is    7    person who always prays for us and always keeps us in their thoughts. Friendship may not    8    (necessary)be based on   age，but it is based on    9    (understand). Even our parents can be our best friends！So let us build our friendship and try our best     10     (see)the good side of everyone!

10 . Many of my friends like fall and take it as their favorite season. Last weekend, I went outdoors and soon     1    (find) a deeper appreciation for this season.

The change of leaf colors is a common reason given     2    the love of fall. Each tree reacts    3    (different) to the change of the season. Some shed their leaves in hopes of reproducing; however, other     4    (tree) remain green for as long as possible to gain additional energy from the sun to survive the winter. This effect     5    (call) the flight-or-fight response.

Fall is a time of     6    (reflect) and preparation for the year ahead. I have found a meaning of fall for me. I'm     7    18-year-old boy in the final year of high school and my life is a work in progress. There are times I want to give up, but then I look around me and realize life keeps     8    (move).The natural cycle of life is beautiful and doesn't stop growing so I have to learn to keep up.

The meaning of fall is different for each person. I encourage you     9    (go) out to follow some path or sidewalk and discover     10    fall means to you.
