第一篇 英语学习
Last year, I did not like English because I didn’t like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so 　1　 that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation (发音). I just 　2　 behind my textbook and never said anything.
But then 　3　 amazing happened—I found a super cool English movie called Toy Story. It was exciting and funny. I was 　4　 about it soon! Later I began to watch other English movies, too. I could not understand everything the actors and actresses said, but their body language and expressions on their faces 　5　 me to get the meaning. Moreover, I could make it by listening for just key words. My pronunciation got better by listening to the words in English movies.
　6　 time went on, I was surprised that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned 　7　 sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right” (自作自受). 　8　, I did not understand these sentences. But then I really wanted to understand the interesting story. I had to 　9　 some new words in a dictionary.
Now I find myself enjoying my English class much more. I spend my free time learning new words and more grammar so that I can have a better 　10　 of English movies. I truly believe that learning English is like going on a super cool trip, and I’m ready for the exciting journey ahead!

第二篇 电话发明者争议
Alexander Graham Bell is often thought to be the father of the telephone. However, there were many other scientists, like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci, who also developed a talking telegraph (电报). It is not a simple thing to 　1　 who is the “father” of something. The name often goes to the scientist of the most useful work, not to the one with the 　2　 idea. This is exactly what happened with the telephone.
There has been a 　3　 about who really developed the telephone. People have written articles and books about the subject. It is known that Bell got the patent (专利) for designing the telephone in 1876. He was the first to get the patent but he was not the first to think of the 　4　 of a telephone. Antonio Meucci, an Italian scientist, 　5　 building a talking telegraph in 1849. In 1871, he got an official document that could prove he designed the machine. In later years, because of some 　6　, Meucci couldn’t get a new document. His name in the history of the telephone was then 　7　 until his work was honored (被授予表彰) again on June 11, 2002.
Some studies on the patent application (申请) of the telephone have made things even more 　8　. Researchers say that Elisha Gray, a(n) 　9　 at Oberlin College, and Bell applied for the patent of the telephone on the same day. These gentlemen didn’t actually 　10　 the Patent Office—their lawyers (律师) did. Researchers find in records that Bell’s lawyer went to the office 　11　. The date was February 14, 1876. He was the fifth to get into the office that day and Gray’s lawyer was the 39th. As the result, Bell got the patent and Gray’s work was not honored. 　12　, many people don’t believe this story. They think that there had to be some 　13　 or unfair (不公正的) actions by people working at Patent Office, and 　14　 even by Bell himself.
This long discussion is 　15　 not coming to its end. But this question may not matter at all. After all, we could live in a very different world without any of the three scientists’ great work.

第一篇 英语学习
Last year, I did not like English because I didn’t like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so 　1　 that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation (发音). I just 　2　 behind my textbook and never said anything.
But then 　3　 amazing happened—I found a super cool English movie called Toy Story. It was exciting and funny. I was 　4　 about it soon! Later I began to watch other English movies, too. I could not understand everything the actors and actresses said, but their body language and expressions on their faces 　5　 me to get the meaning. Moreover, I could make it by listening for just key words. My pronunciation got better by listening to the words in English movies.
　6　 time went on, I was surprised that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned 　7　 sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right” (自作自受). 　8　, I did not understand these sentences. But then I really wanted to understand the interesting story. I had to 　9　 some new words in a dictionary.
Now I find myself enjoying my English class much more. I spend my free time learning new words and more grammar so that I can have a better 　10　 of English movies. I truly believe that learning English is like going on a super cool trip, and I’m ready for the exciting journey ahead!

第二篇 电话发明者争议
Alexander Graham Bell is often thought to be the father of the telephone. However, there were many other scientists, like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci, who also developed a talking telegraph (电报). It is not a simple thing to 　1　 who is the “father” of something. The name often goes to the scientist of the most useful work, not to the one with the 　2　 idea. This is exactly what happened with the telephone.
There has been a 　3　 about who really developed the telephone. People have written articles and books about the subject. It is known that Bell got the patent (专利) for designing the telephone in 1876. He was the first to get the patent but he was not the first to think of the 　4　 of a telephone. Antonio Meucci, an Italian scientist, 　5　 building a talking telegraph in 1849. In 1871, he got an official document that could prove he designed the machine. In later years, because of some 　6　, Meucci couldn’t get a new document. His name in the history of the telephone was then 　7　 until his work was honored (被授予表彰) again on June 11, 2002.
Some studies on the patent application (申请) of the telephone have made things even more 　8　. Researchers say that Elisha Gray, a(n) 　9　 at Oberlin College, and Bell applied for the patent of the telephone on the same day. These gentlemen didn’t actually 　10　 the Patent Office—their lawyers (律师) did. Researchers find in records that Bell’s lawyer went to the office 　11　. The date was February 14, 1876. He was the fifth to get into the office that day and Gray’s lawyer was the 39th. As the result, Bell got the patent and Gray’s work was not honored. 　12　, many people don’t believe this story. They think that there had to be some 　13　 or unfair (不公正的) actions by people working at Patent Office, and 　14　 even by Bell himself.
This long discussion is 　15　 not coming to its end. But this question may not matter at all. After all, we could live in a very different world without any of the three scientists’ great work.

My father picked up the chopsticks and started tapping (敲击) the bowl like playing the drums. “Don’t do that, Dad.” I said. “It’s not 　8　 in China.”
After a while one very large plate of food arrived in the middle of the table. My father took it and started eating. “Where’s the 　9　 of the food ” he said to the waitress. “Dad,” I said, “everyone 10　 food here. That dish you’re eating is for 　11　.” But he ate everything on the plate, “Dad,” I said, “in China people think it’s rude if you eat everything. They think you are still 　12　.”
Finally, my father asked for the bill. He 　13　 and handed the waiter 20 yuan before leaving.
The waiter looked 　14　. “What are you doing ” I said. “People don’t give tips (小费) in China.” I never felt so embarrassed in all my life. The food and the 　15　 were fantastic and I’ll surely go back to China. Next time I’ll leave my father at home.

The friends meet twice a(n) 　11　 to train. They bike, box, run and do push-ups (俯卧撑). Parker is easy to get bored with practising the same movement (动作) for a long time, so it is Callari’s job to keep him interested in the training. Because of Callari’s hard work, Parker makes it. During the training, Parker does not move back, he keeps practising hard 　12　. He even looks like a normal (正常的) kid now. “　13　 Parker can do it and has fun, then people will ask, ‘Why can’t I do that ’” Callari said. “That’s the whole task right now.”
Callari remembers Parker’s mom once thanking him for having a “　14　” for her son. Callari says he should be thankful too. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he himself is also 　15　. He thinks it is Parker that helps him grow stronger and better.
