To grow 45 beds of green vegetables，we need many things （7）　　growing cups，LED growing lights，fans，a water pump （水泵） and so on.Although the students failed for the first time，none of them （8）　　.They kept on trying until they finally succeeded.It was interesting for them to watch the vegetables grow every day.And they all smiled （9）　　when seeing students in other classes eat the vegetables they grew.My students' new goal is that our school won't need to （10）　　green vegetables any more.

Run for Class President

Two months ago，when our class election （选举） started，I decided to nun for class president.I enjoyed speaking in public and got along well with people，so I felt it easy to win.But I was （1）　　that people would feel bad for me if I lost.

I was busy preparing in the following week.My plan wasn't to make promises to do things I couldn't （2）　　but to show my class why I wanted to be the president.I put up my posters in hallways and in the classroom.I also spent three hours writing my speech，saying that I was the one they could tum to whenever they had a problem.Since I was （3）　　prepared，I felt that my chances of winning were strong.

However，when I gave my speech on Election Day，the response （反应） wasn't what I had （4）　　.Few people actually listened.When it was my opponent's （对手的） turn，everyone was screaming （尖叫） his name.His speech was short，（5）　　all to the point.By then，I realized I should have made（6）　　shorter and clearer.

It was obvious （明显的） who would （7）　　.For the rest of the day，I felt like it was over.I wanted to just go home and cry，but I made it through.

My prediction was right：I didn't win.The next day，people were still talking about the （8）　　.I just pretended （假装） not to hear.But later，things got better.People （9）　　about the election and talked to me just as they did before.

I don't regret putting time and energy（10）　　the election because I've learned that things aren't always going the way I expect.And moments of failure like this build character一since then I've learned to face disappointment and grown stronger.

Suppose you are in a traffic accident.If a car （5）　　you，you should remember the car number.If it is a bicycle，you should call your parents （6）　　you let the rider go.This is because you don't know how seriously you are hurt.
