Some      (invent) happened in strange ways. “Potato chips” is one of them.
White Lake House was       restaurant in New York in the 1850s. George White was the cook there. Many highly-ranked people often came to the restaurant     (enjoy) his cooking.
One thing which really upset George was that a customer complained        the food and sent it back to the kitchen to be done over. He would often return it overcooked. He was unhappy to see the customer walk out of the restaurant      (angry).
On August 24, 1853, a customer returned his fried potatoes to the kitchen        they weren't crunchy (脆的) enough. George reacted in his        (usually) way. He cut the potatoes very thin and cooked them in hot oil. They were so crunchy and George was sure that the man would refuse to eat them. Instead, the man loved them. He even      (order) more.
Now, do you know  invented the potato chips? It's George White! He later set up his own restaurant. He named it George's House. He put baskets of his potato chips on all the tables. They made his restaurant a very popular place.
Today, potato chips are one of Americans'   (favor) foods!

There is      old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the       (busy) day of the week”. How many    (time) have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here are the reasons.
Tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about       (dead), but the reality is——       is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave       unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.
You’ll be much       (happy) if you go for it. Imagine how much happier you’ll be       you’re living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing     is stopping you is yourself. Take control of your own happiness. Don’t keep your dreams     (wait). Go after them today!

When （ask） to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves， many put friends ahead of homes， jobs， clothes and cars．
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines_ we are and keeps us connected． It is a treasure we should protect． Unfortunately， the _（good） friends you are， the more probable you’ll have disagreements． And the result can be what you don’t want  end to the relationship．
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended． First， don’t let your pride get in your way． Most of us can forgive each other when differences_（bring） out in the open． Second， apologize when you’re wrong - even if you have been wronged ．Over the course of a friendship， even the best people make mistakes． Sometimes， it may be best，the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes． When you apologize， give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong． Third， see things your friend’s point of view． And finally， accept that friendships change as needs and lifestyle change． Making friends can sometimes seem easy． The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the_（nature） ups and downs that have an effect__all relationships． My suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift， and worth the effort to treasure and nurture （培养）．
