It was my first day in Hangzhou, the Chinese city famous for its natural beauty and history and I didn't have much time to spare. I wanted to see 1 much of the city as possible in the two days 2 I was to return to Guangzhou. My first task was to decide where to go and 3 to get there. I took out my guide book 4 there was a lot of information about the city's well-known tourist attractions and started to read. At that moment an attractive young lady 5 noticed my book came up to me and introduced 6 .

She said her name was Miss Bai and she kindly offered to show me 7 the city. I was delighted and was about to accept her proposal 8 she suggested we first 9 (go) to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge. I quite liked the idea of visiting the West Lake but wasn't so sure about crossing the Broken Bridge. 10 it was broken, did she expect me to jump across? And I couldn't swim, so if I fell in then I would drown. That was definitely not an attractive idea so I politely declined her invitation, 11 (close) my book and walked away.

I followed his advice that we _______ (prepare) beforehand. 3.

I was always told that the three Ps, patience, positive thinking and perseverance(毅力), were a sure path 31 success. 32 this advice does not always work as planned. My high school maths exam is one example. The exam, 33 was originally to be held in our classroom, 34 (change) to the library at the last minute. This, 35 , didn’t bother me because maths had always been my strongest subject. I patiently walked to the library, 36 (take) my seat and did some deep breathing to help relax 37 .

But my mood quickly changed when I saw 38 first question. I had no idea 39 to do it. I tried to stay positive and persevered 40 I finally found the solution. With the problem 41 (solve), I felt proud of my achievement. 42 (fortunate), I then noticed that I had just 10 minutes left 43 (complete) the rest! Keys:

Deciding what present you should give someone is never easy. Many things must 31 (consider) such as 32 the person is interested in and how old he is. We must also consider the reaction of the person 33 (receive) the gift. One of the 34 (bad) gift choices I ever made was for my high school English teacher, Ms Chen. Ms Chen 35 (teach) me English since Junior 1, and 36 (show) my appreciation I decided to get 37 a present. I asked my classmates about her interests 38 I made my final 39 (decide).

Then I went to the department store 40 I worked part-time and bought her 41 expensive gift box of Sichuan beef. I was certain she would like it because I 42 (tell) by my classmates that she loved hot food. I left the box with a card on her desk, and I was sure she would like them. 43 was only after I heard she became sick that I learned she couldn't eat MSG !

My sister had dropped out of school and 31 very unwise decisions with her life. She chose to spend her time with people who were lost 32 she was. They all chose to ignore their 33 (responsible) and supported one another in a life which involved drinking and partying. 34 (sad), they were all losing time. They were young and had the potential to become 35 they wanted if they would only choose to respect themselves and believe in a better life.

My sister was lost but my father never gave up on her. She may not have even known it but his prayers and faith 36 her may have been the very thing she needed. I remember sitting at the family dinner table 37 everyone had gathered except my sister. Once again she had chosen to drink with friends instead of spending 38 evening with our family who loved her very much. We said she would not come. But my father said she would. We all rallied against him, 39 (bet) she would not show up and asked why he would say that. We 40 convinced he was in denial. He simply said, ―I will always bet on her, on all of you.‖ Keys:

The Thanksgiving Day 31 (come), a school teacher asked her class of first graders to draw a picture of something they were thankful for. She thought of how little these children 32 poor neighborhoods actually had to be thankful for. But she knew that 33 of them would draw pictures of turkeys or tables with food. The teacher was surprised 34 the picture Douglas handed in – a smile childishly drawn hand.

But 35 hand? The class was puzzled by the abstract image. ―I think it 36 be the hand of God that brings us food,‖ said one child. ― 37 farmer,‖ said another, ―because he grows the turkeys.‖ Finally when the others were at work, the teacher bent over Douglas’ desk and asked whose hand it was. ―It’s 38 hand, Teacher,‖ he answered.

She recalled that frequently after class she had taken Douglas, a short lonely child by the 39 . She often did that with the children. But it meant so much to Douglas. Perhaps this was everyone’s Thanksgiving, not for the material things 40 (give) to us but for the chance, in whatever small way, to give to others. Keys:
