Dear friends,
My name is Sarah and I am 23 years old. I am a 1 in a hospital and I would not change my career choice for anything else in the world 2 I love helping people who are injured and helping them live a healthy life. Just the simple "3" I receive from a patient or a family member makes 4 worth it.
I love the outdoors, anything like horseback riding or boating! I may not be a common girl because I love 5. I love watching and doing sports!
I believe that laugh can make any day better! That is why a sense of humour (幽默感) is a MUST for me! I love to make people 6 and I can be very funny when needed! That is also why I really enjoy 7 to comedy clubs like the Funny Bone. What's more, I love country music and I often go to some concerts.
My friends and family 8 everything to me and I would be sad 9 them. I love them very much. I love 10 time with my brothers and sisters. That's me. Do you want to make friends with me?
Yours,
Sarah
Every year students in many countries learn English. Some of these 1 are children, others are young people. Why do all these people want to learn 2?
It is 3 to answer this question. Many boys and girls 4 English at school. It is one of their 5. Many people learn English because it is 6 in their work. Some young people learn English for their 7 studies because some of their books are in English. Other people learn English because they want to 8 newspapers in English. Some people learn English because they want to 9 in the USA, England or Australia. English is very 10 in our life.
Food is very important. Everyone needs to 1 well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our 2 also need a kind of food. This kind of food is 3. We begin to get knowledge even when we are very young. Small children are 4 in everything around them. They 5 something while they are watching and listening. When they are getting older, they begin to 6 story books, science books ... anything they like. When they find something new, they love to ask questions and 7 to find out answers. What is the best 8 to get knowledge? If we learn by ourselves, we will get the most knowledge. If we are 9 getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in the 10 way, we will learn more and understand better.
Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, liked to walk about in a railway station near his home. One day when he was walking up and down as usual, looking at people getting on and off the 1, he heard a lady 2 after him, “Hey, you old fellow, go and fetch my handbag in the 3 room which I left there.”
Tolstoy 4 there. He 5 the bag up and walked quickly along the platform (站台）. At the same time the lady was waiting beside the carriage, looking 6. When at last the old man gave the bag back to her, she opened it to 7 sure nothing was missing. “Good, old man,” said the woman. “You are just as 8 as I hope. Here you are.” Tolstoy 9 the coin and put it into his pocket with a smile.
But the woman was very 10 when she heard that he was Tolstoy, the author (作者）of the great novel WAR AND PEACE. How interesting it was!
I'm Maria's mother. She is going to Britain next month. As you know, she'll be 1 with a family for two weeks. Now the most important thing is 2. She should take about £30 in cash and about £200 in traveler's checks (支票）.Then I have to tell her something 3.
When you 4 at the airport, our host family will meet you there. You must remember to wear a red shirt so that the family will find you 5. I've told them to look out for the 6 shirt. You'll also need to 7 with you 4 photos of yourself and, of course, it's very important that you take the school 8. While you are there, if you have any problem, you can 9 our agent. I'll give you her office phone number now: It's 580-4436 and the person to ask for is Mrs. Belcher, that's B-E-L-C-H-E-R. She's in the 10 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. OK! That's everything. Have a good trip.
Some day little cars may take the place of today's cars. If everyone 1 such a little car in the future, there will be less 2 in the air. There will be more parking places in the cities, and the street will be 3. Now the space for one car of the usual size can 4 more than one such little cars. Driving will be 5, because these little cars can go only 50 kilometres an 6. The future cars will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be 7 for going far away. The little cars 8 only two batteries, one battery for the motor, and the other for the horn (汽车喇叭) and the lights. If we still 9 the big cars along with the small ones; we will need to 10 two kinds of roads. That is, there will be some roads for the big fast cars and other roads for the smaller and slower ones.
The computer is fast, and never makes a mistake, while people are too 1 and full of mistakes sometimes. That's what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarter of a century, scientists have been 2 better and better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday 3 wonderfully. It is 4 used in factories, hospitals, post offices and airports. A computer can report, decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are thinking of making the computer “think” like a man. With the 5 of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, 6 chess, recognize voices, translate languages and so on. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Do you think the people will be 7 when they find that the computer is too clever to listen to and serve the people? No, people will make 8 use of the computers in the future. Man is always the master of the computer. The computer 9 only with the help of man. It cannot take the 10 of man.
Canada is the second largest 1 in the world. It is over 7,000 kilometres from the 2 coast (海岸）to the east. It 3 six time zones. When it is 9 a.m. in Vancouver on the west coast, it is 1:30 p.m. in St John's on the east coast.
English and French are the two main 4 in Canada. About 60 percent of its people 5 English, and about 25 percent speak French. More than 70 percent of its population 6 in cities near the US border (边境).
Ottawa is the capital. Every year millions of tourists go there to 7 museums and take part in the cultural 8. Toronto is the largest city of the country with about 2.5 million people. Montreal is the second biggest French-speaking city in the world.
The maple leaf (枫叶）is the 9 symbol of Canada. The Canadian 10 has a red maple leaf on a red and white background.
Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. But in fact, very few of them will 1 a man if he leaves them alone. If you meet a lion or an elephant, I guess you will 2 away; but even a lion will avoid (躲避) a man if it is not very 3. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too 4 and too weak to catch their usual 5, such as deer and other small animals. If you see a wild elephant, perhaps you will be 6. However, elephants usually run away at once if yon don't attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man, some 7 and look at him for a moment before they ran away, some take no notice at all but walk away 8 in another direction. Wild animals only attack 9 when they are afraid that people want to harm (伤害) their 10, or when the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.
A man stopped at a gas station and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to 1 and he watched a couple of men 2 along the roadside.
One man would dig a hole two or three feet 3 and then move on. 4man came along behind to fill in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind 5 in the old hole.
The man with a soft drink was confused. "I can't stand this," said the man walking toward the men. "Stop it," he said to t e men. "Can you tell me what's 6 here?"
"Well, we work for the county government," one of the men said.
"But one of you is digging a hole and the other is filling 7up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you 8 the county's money?"
"You don't understand," one of the men said.
"Normally (通常地) there are 9 of us: I Rodney and Mike. I dig the hole Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike here puts earth 10."
"Yeah," said Mike. "Today Rodney is sick. But that doesn't mean we can't work, does it?"
