A. they think they should have done                B. you have done nothing C. people try and tell you they are not so bad         D. someone just said to me E. it’s a time to remember the things

 
Birthdays are strange things. The more you have, the more you try and pretend they don’t matter, and the more       . I’m not really sure why they think so. It’s true that you are getting older, but as       , “Who isn’t getting older every day?” The problem may be that a birthday reminds people of all the things     
  , but have not. I certainly understand that feeling, though I think        that I most want to do — a kind of personal re-ordering (重新排序) of the to-do list. What makes you depressed(郁闷) on your birthday is that you realize your re-ordered to-do list is exactly the same as it was last year. That makes you feel       , and not been anywhere. I have not had that experience this year. I look back at where I was last year and find things have changed since then.

When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care o      my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started c     for mum. He was so young and really needed
mum. So I d        him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he f      asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my b       and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother t    wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just b       I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?" I did not know h       to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.
My whole life I have depended on（依靠） the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not e       remember what the man's face looked like, but he taught me a lesson-people are m      important than things.

Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets as people walk past them in Cambridge’s market center. Some ask passers-by(路人) for change and some just sit and wait to be given money．
To solve the problem of begging, an “alternative giving” plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. The aim is to encourage people not to give money directly(直接地) to beggars but instead to give generously to the local people who are homeless．
Different people have different opinions. Supporters of this plan think it will be a good way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems(酗酒和吸毒). But the police don’t support it. They argue that beggars who do not receive cash（现金）may turn to criminality( 犯罪). The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive(积极的) plans can help create local understanding and sympathy（同情心）. Most of the beggars don’t like the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food, and clothes.
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play a big role in working out this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find jobs is a good way. This is true for developing countries where many simple jobs exist. People should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.

Introduction to the begging  problem	Some beggars ask ________ for money. Some beggars just sit and wait to be given money.
An “alternative plan” to the  problem	I In some busy places, ten blue boxes will be placed to _____      people to give money to local homeless people.
Different ____ on the suggested plan	Supporters think it very good to solve the problems. The police oppose(反对) the plan arguing that the beggars may turn to criminality_____ of lack(缺少) of cash. The homeless charity said that it remains to be seen whether this plan would work well. Most of the beggars _____ the plan because the money that they will get from the box will not be enough. They can’t ____ their showers, food and clothes.
_____to deal with the problem	Governments must be active in ____this problem by training beggars to work and helping them to find proper jobs． The public shouldn't look _____upon beggars but understand and help them.

Nowadays, too much carbon dioxide makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet and ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we’d better save energy as much as possible. Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed. If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes. Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm. Don’t do the cooking with electricity.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don’t know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian (素食主义者) can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year. Maybe it is a little difficult, but it’s really necessary.
To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportations (交通工具). On one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It not only waste money but also causes trouble to the earth, because making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less.
There are many other ways to live a low-carbon life, such as recycling things, planting trees and reusing textbooks. If we can keep it a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.
