Many years ago, Manhattan Island,       is a part of the great city of New York,    (cover) with forest. Along its shores were small Indian villages. In fact, Indians were the only people on the island until 1609. In the spring of that year, Henry Hudson, a famous sea captain, arrived there. He was trying to find a short way to the Far East for Dutch traders. His ship was very small. It was only about the size of one of the     (lifeboat) you see on modern ocean liners today. Of course, Henry Hudson did not find a      (short) way to the Far East. Instead he reached the shores of North America. He came to the mouth of the large waterway now     (call) the Hudson River.
As he came near to the shore, he saw      Indian village. The Indians seemed     (friend). They even came out to meet the ship and offered      furs to the Dutch sailor in exchange for glass beads and    small things. When Henry Hudson returned to Holland, he showed everyone the fine furs. He told of the rich soil, and the streams filled with fish. Later Dutch traders began to send many ships     the rich new world across the sea.

Scientists have discovered that    (stay) in the cold could help us lose weight. Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat -- the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm. Brown fat burns energy,     helps us lose weight. White fat stores extra energy, which results     weight gain. The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant,    (comfort) temperatures, our body’s need for brown fat has decreased. They found that outdoor workers in northern Finland who     (expose) to cold temperature have   significant amount of brown fat when    (compare) to same-aged indoor workers.
The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice.    group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat. This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets. The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity. People who are obese have   （low) levels of brown fat than thinner people. If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could    (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.

By “luxury(奢侈品)”, we mean "a pleasant and often expensive thing that is not necessary". From a historical point of view, things which were a luxury when they first came into being all became necessities later.
Anything, no matter         luxurious it is, will become a necessity, when it is widely used. This is true of many of the present luxuries, among which mobile phones, cars, computers and many other things     (include). It is known to all that the purpose of the development of science is      (make) things easy for the mankind, not for only        small number of people.    , the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit         many people as possible. In the course of the spread, the luxury becomes decreasingly luxurious until        the end it becomes a necessity. This is an objective law, and         can be an exception.
With the quick       (develop) of science and technology, the process for many things to become a necessity from a luxury will be greatly shortened. Anything that can be imagined will be invented and in no time becomes a necessity      (access) to ordinary people.

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice.  you want to meet people and make friends, you must take action. It is much   (easy) to communicate with people sharing your hobbies and interests. So join a club or a group,  you are likely to make new friends.
Many people are fearful when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means   (face) the unknown. Actually, most of our fears about dealing with new people come   doubts about ourselves. We imagine that other people   (judge) us, finding us too tall of too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept what you are,   you’ll feel more comfortable.
Try to act with  (confident) even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look(direct) at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to speak to, don’t wait for him/her to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new doesn’t mean that you’ll make friends with that person.  takes time and effort to develop a friendship.

The air we breathe is freely available, withoutwe could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while  (sit) around and feel sorry for themselves.  breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make   magnificent life.
Opportunity is in the same way; it is everywhere. It is so freely available that we take it   granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success; it must   (seize) and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so (anxiety) to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s  (possible).
Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed.  , it takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity. You must make use of it. That’s not up to the opportunity; that’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on, but  matters is what you do with it.

Phyllis Rawlins’ house was destroyed after a tornado swept through her town of Kokomo, Ind., on Sunday. Last summer, she lost    husband of over 40 years, Edgar. In the tornado’s rubble (瓦砾) , Rawlins searched    Edgar’s wedding ring. “Digging and praying. Digging and praying,” she told local station Fox 59.
“It was everything to me, because that’s one thing that I had,” she said.
Rawlins had been visiting family in Kentucky   the storm came through. She returned to find her home   (complete) in pieces. “This was the house that love built,” she told WTHR.
Without her husband    her house, she was determined to find the ring. But finding the exact position of it among the piles of rubble seemed to be    (hope).
Somehow, her brother   (spot) something under a piece of the roof and called her over. The ring,   (bury) in the rubble, had turned up.
“It was a miracle,” Rawlins said. “We both just hugged each other, crying. That was I had searched for,”
When all was lost,    special ring he left was finally found.
“I’m very strong with my faith, and I know that God is in control of everything, the good and the bad,” Rawlins said.

May I have your attention，please?

I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting     my car broke down near a remote village. Cursing my  (fortune), I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me   (argue) as to who should have the honour of receiving me     a guest in their house.
