The Problem with Television
Now I can’t watch much television but a few years ago, 1.
I was used to watch it every night.I was often 2.
a little tired after a day’s work and watch TV 3.
demands very little effort.Unfortunate,there are 4.
too many people among my family.Some wanted 5.
to see the programme while others preferred 6.
another.I am happy with any programme but 7.
the others spent a lot time arguing and there 8.
was no way of settling the matter except by 9.
selling the set.Now someone at home reads instead. 10.
Nowadays millions of people of all age take pleasure in a 1.
hobby which is both interested and fun.And every year 2.
more and more people start a stamp collection of your own 3.
and discover an interest which can even last lifetime.Starting 4.
your collection of stamps are easy because they are everywhere. 5.
Holidays and birthday postcards from relatives and letters 6.
from friends can all provide you for stamps from all over 7.
the world.So once you’ve started collecting seriously,you 8.
will probably want to join in the Stamp Collectors’Club 9.
which exist to add more stamps to your collection. 10.

Anne lives in a small town.She is fond of
surfing the Internet.In general speaking,she 1.
spent about an hour a day on line.To her,it is 2.
a wonderful place because you never know that 3.
it may have in store for you.Last Friday,she 4.
found an e-pal,that called himself “Future”. 5.
They promised to keep touch with each other. 6.
And she was warned against him by her parents. 7.
“What will it lead to?” she asked.“A happy ending,” 8.
Anne answered and continued typing,paid no 9.
attention to them.One month past,and a man 10.
called “Future” was arrested by the police!
“CATS”,the greatest musical in the world,went to Beijing at last! 1.
As a big fan of the show,I bought a ticket quite early and looking forward 2.
to it for weeks.It was going to be the happiest day of my life,and there 3.
was other performance I had not expected.My mum and I arrived at the 4.
Great Hall of the People ahead of the time,and found our seats on the 5.
second floor.The good designed stage,a huge rubbish dump for cats, 6.
caught the attention the moment I sat down.The show was about to begin 7.
and I was expecting a brilliant musical.So it was said that all the tickets had 8.
sold out long ago,to my surprise nearly a third of the seats were still empty . 9.
But as soon as the music began,its magical power brought my eyes back 10.
to the stage.
The day before the speech contest(比赛)English teacher 1.
talked to me.She said that she and my schoolmate all 2.
wished me success,but it didn’t matter that I would 3.
win or not.When I was on the stage the next day,I felt so 4.
nervous as I shook like a leaf.There were so many people 5.
present.Suddenly,I caught a sight of my English teacher in 6.
the crowd.She was smiling but nodding at me.I remembered 7.
her words and calmdown.I did a good job and won the first 8.
prize.Now my picture and theprize is hanging in the library. 9.
Whenever I see them I will often think ofmy English teacher. 10.
“Practice makes perfect” was an old saying.It tells us that it 1.
does not any matter if we are slow at doing something.As 2.
long as we keep on trying and practice,well do a good job 3.
in the end.The saying is especial useful in English study. 4.
Since a student is poor at speaking,he should grasp every 5.
chance to open mouth and speak English.His oral English 6.
may be excellent one day due to his hard works.Not only is 7.
the saying useful in English study,it is also helpful in our 8.
daily life.To an extent,it is no short cut in doing everything 9.
since key to success lies in “Practice makes perfect”. 10.
Nuli told us what he wanted to be a scientist when he 1.
was in his childhood.He worked hard at all his lesson 2.
and tried to enter into a famous university in China, 3.
but he failed because the Cultural Revolution,which 4.
forced him to make a living at the age of 16.He serves 5.
as a farmer then a worker,but he spent his spare 6.
time studied and was finally admitted into a local college. 7.
He often says,“Young guys,do not lose the heart 8.
when you are in trouble.Believe in yourself forever, 9.
so you will surely make great progress sooner or later.” 10.
The alarm was first gone off on the third floor. 1.
People left the building hurriedly but in a orderly manner. 2.
They came out carry their shopping bags and their parcels， 3.
some not properly wrapped and some not even paid. 4.
Most passer by waited in the street to watch.Many of the 5.
shops and offices in the street had just closed.Mr Clement， 6.
the officer in charge of，ordered all hoses(软管) 7.
to turned to the roof of the main building.People were pushed 8.
back from the area of their own safety.Seven officers 9.
entered the basement or were driven back within minutes. 10.
Hurriedly they put on their masks(防毒面具)，ready to try again.

Before I went to senior middle school,some peoples told 1.
me,“A life of senior middle school is unforgettable.” 2.
While I first entered my senior middle school,everything 3.
seemed unpleasant.Face all the strange things around me, 4.
I often miss my old friends and classmates.I didn’t want 5.
to talk others or make friends with others.Little by little,my 6.
school record went from bad to worse,especially my 7.
maths.I couldn’t even pass the exam.I lost the heart and 8.
missed the happy times all day long.I told me,“I don’t 9.
belong to it.I don’t like the life here.” 10.
Dear Mr and Mrs Smith,
I want to thank you again for having me in your home for the
summer holidays.I had always wanted to return the village after 1.
moving away and it is really great to see most of my old friends again. 2.
I told mother,father,sister,and all my friends here that a great 3.
time I had.I’ll never forget the steamboat ride.I never knew about 4.
a ride down a river could be so excited.I also enjoyed the 5.
evening when we spent together.And I can’t forget the good food 6.
you cooked for me.It was wonderful.I hope that you two can come 7.
and visit us sometime soon.Father and mother will love to see you. 8.
