Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their(life). However, rescue operations are

(collapse). Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in
special capsule.
there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which
(low) into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with the closest relatives. Though they are running out of food
drink, the men are
(cheer) and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing
(smooth). If they knew how difficult it was to drill
the hard rock, they would lose heart.

With the (develop) of industry, air pollution is getting more and more serious. In Beijing, many people suffer different kinds of illnesses because of air pollution.
Air pollution is caused by the (follow) reasons. It is
(main) caused by vehicles. There are more and more cars, buses on the roads and they give off
(poison) gases. About 25% of air pollution is caused by factories. Another factor is the smoking,
not only does harm to smokers’ health but also to others’.
these, about 10% of air pollution is caused by other reasons.
We should take some measures ( fight) against pollution. New fuel can be used to take
place of gas. We can plant more trees. If everyone realizes the importance of environment
does something to stop pollution, the problem will
(solve).
Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will (probable) say that they go to school to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other knowledge. That is quite true, but
do they learn these things?
We send our children to school (prepare) them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that
only reason why they go to school?
There is more in education than just (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man
really knows how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will but also be able to teach
how to do it in the best way. The
(educate) person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just
it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is
(teach) languages, arithmetic, history science, etc., but to teach pupils the way to learn.

Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?
In 1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio. It (be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it
(actual) caught fire and burned. Now, years later, this river is one of
most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.
the river wasn’t changed in a few days or even a few months. It took years of work
(reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is
(clean) than ever.
Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?
While there are (amaze) stories of instant transformation, for most of us the
(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be
(patience).
Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also in life. If two teams play game, one team must lose. If a dozen
(team) attend an athletic competition, one team will get the most points and all the
eleven teams will get
points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face.
that team and that school must do is to admit that it
(lose). The only intelligent reaction
defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on we will devote
to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.
Lessons (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more
(value) are the lessons learned in extra-curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and, especially, in the student council.

, I gathered the courage to go down and ask them anyway!
Initially, the woman denied. Then, the man said, “Sure”, and he handed me a spray paint (喷漆) bottle. We got into some good conversations painting with great effort. When we finished, I briefly chatted
them before leaving.
In the end, not only I enjoy helping them, but also learned about my neighbors. On the way home, I must admit, I couldn’t help
wonder what they might be thinking about me.
is tough to do a good deed for others and not expect that they will be thinking good about you.
Today’s experience taught me some (value) lessons in my life!
(hope), these lessons will help me continue my acts of kindness in future.
