The day before the speech contest(比赛)English teacher 1.
talked to me.She said that she and my schoolmate all 2.
wished me success,but it didn’t matter that I would 3.
win or not.When I was on the stage the next day,I felt so 4.
nervous as I shook like a leaf.There were so many people 5.
present.Suddenly,I caught a sight of my English teacher in 6.
the crowd.She was smiling but nodding at me.I remembered 7.
her words and calmdown.I did a good job and won the first 8.
prize.Now my picture and theprize is hanging in the library. 9.
Whenever I see them I will often think ofmy English teacher. 10.
“Practice makes perfect” was an old saying.It tells us that it 1.
does not any matter if we are slow at doing something.As 2.
long as we keep on trying and practice,well do a good job 3.
in the end.The saying is especial useful in English study. 4.
Since a student is poor at speaking,he should grasp every 5.
chance to open mouth and speak English.His oral English 6.
may be excellent one day due to his hard works.Not only is 7.
the saying useful in English study,it is also helpful in our 8.
daily life.To an extent,it is no short cut in doing everything 9.
since key to success lies in “Practice makes perfect”. 10.
Nuli told us what he wanted to be a scientist when he 1.
was in his childhood.He worked hard at all his lesson 2.
and tried to enter into a famous university in China, 3.
but he failed because the Cultural Revolution,which 4.
forced him to make a living at the age of 16.He serves 5.
as a farmer then a worker,but he spent his spare 6.
time studied and was finally admitted into a local college. 7.
He often says,“Young guys,do not lose the heart 8.
when you are in trouble.Believe in yourself forever, 9.
so you will surely make great progress sooner or later.” 10.
The alarm was first gone off on the third floor. 1.
People left the building hurriedly but in a orderly manner. 2.
They came out carry their shopping bags and their parcels, 3.
some not properly wrapped and some not even paid. 4.
Most passer by waited in the street to watch.Many of the 5.
shops and offices in the street had just closed.Mr Clement, 6.

to turned to the roof of the main building.People were pushed 8.
back from the area of their own safety.Seven officers 9.
entered the basement or were driven back within minutes. 10.

Before I went to senior middle school,some peoples told 1.
me,“A life of senior middle school is unforgettable.” 2.
While I first entered my senior middle school,everything 3.
seemed unpleasant.Face all the strange things around me, 4.
I often miss my old friends and classmates.I didn’t want 5.
to talk others or make friends with others.Little by little,my 6.
school record went from bad to worse,especially my 7.
maths.I couldn’t even pass the exam.I lost the heart and 8.
missed the happy times all day long.I told me,“I don’t 9.
belong to it.I don’t like the life here.” 10.
Dear Mr and Mrs Smith,

time I had.I’ll never forget the steamboat ride.I never knew about 4.

One day last week I went a walk in the country. 1.
In the morning the weather was well and the sun was 2.
shining;the sky was blue and there were no could. 3.
Soon a cool wind started blown and black clouds 4.
were covered the sun and then it started to rain. 5.
There were no houses in sight,but I got very wet. 6.
After a hour or so,I managed to catch a bus which 7.
took me home.But when I arrived I was shivering 8.
and I knew I had caught a bad cold.I must 9.

We had guests last night who have not stayed 1.
in a B&B hotel ago.They did not want breakfast 2.
because that they were going out early in the 3.
morning.They came back lately and had some 4.
tea.I came into the living room and saw one of 5.
them just to through the kitchen door but turn 6.
on the light.He was looking for a glass the 7.
cupboard.He had no ideas that the kitchen was 8.
not for guests.I just smiled to me and thought, 9.
“What can I do?We are guests after all.” 10.
At 10 o’clock last Saturday night I came out from the 1.
cinema.It was very much cold and the road was covered with snow. 2.
SuddenlyI saw a woman fall down her bike. She couldn’t 3.
get up. I ran to her at once and try to help her to sit up. 4.
She said that her right leg was broken. I was worried about 5.
when a young policeman came over. He called a taxi. I took 6.
him to a hospital and telephoned her family about the matter. 7.
As I saw the woman was good looked after, I said goodbye 8.
to her.I felt happy I could help the woman but I also hope 9.
she will be soon getting well on. 10.
Yesterday morning I was going to school on our foot with Li Ming. 1.
We were talking and laughing happily on the way while a motor-bike 2.
knocked me off my bike. As a result, I seriously hurt in the left leg 3.
and could hardly stand up. Seen this, Li Ming jumped off his bike, put it 4.
aside, stopped a taxi and took me to the hospital at once. In the hospital, a 5.
doctor gave me quick examination. I was told that I had to stay there for 6.
some time. So Li Ming went out and ring up my parents. He told them what 7.
had happened to me in the street. He didn’t leave the hospital until his parents 8
arrived. I stayed in the hospital a whole day until later in the afternoon. 9.
Luckily, I can walk as better as before now. I must thank Li Ming for his help.10.
I saw a case falling off a man’s bike on my way to the 1.
cinema in this afternoon . I shouted out to the man 2.
to stop. But he didn’t hear me and ride away. I was 3.
wondering what to do while I had an idea. I stopped a 4.
taxi and got in it with the case. Soon I caught up with 5.
the man. Got the case back, he was so thankful that he 6.
offered me some money, and I refused it politely. Then 7.
the driver took him to the cinema. When I paid him, the driver 8.
pushed my hand away and said with smile, “Neither will I 9.
accept your money”. I felt very happy though I was late for the film. 10.
If you watch ads on TV , you may find some of the ads make you feeling 1.
uncomfortable. Companies spend lot of money in ads that will encourage 2.
customers to buy its products. To do so, they employ skilled advertisers 3.
sometimes try to sell us things by making us believe that we are good enough 4.
the way we are or people will not like us unless we buy their products. 5.
The way people look and act in ads may be entertaining , and there are 6.
experts who consider some ads misleading or even dangerous. For example, 7.
ads that show beautiful people wear expensive clothes may make people feel 8.
ugly or poor. Because young people easily influenced, they may believe that 9.
what they see in the ads are real . They must buy certain products if they want 10.
others to like them because they feel they are too fat or too ugly.
Speaking a foreign language is most people want. Every year many 1.
million of people start learning one. Some people try at home with books 2.
and records or tapes; some use radios and TV programmes,the others 3.
go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 and 3 times a week, 4.
learning them will take a long time, like learning a foreign language 5.
at school . A few people try to learn a language fast by studying 6 or more 6.
hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country that it is 7.
spoken .However, most people can’t afford this and it is necessary for 8.
many.Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is a hard work. Good 9.
books and machines will help, and they can’t do the student’s work for him. 10.
