The fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often about her and laughed at her a lot. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿), from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养) by a family in town who that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this girl, and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how I would help her in with us? There had to be a .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a (an) copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Park, and showed her what Suzy had . “Why, it's wonderful,” said Miss Park, who then showed us a poster she had painted the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don't have enough . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy's were everywhere - all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (an) award. I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of your own students them.”
I could hear everyone whispering(窃窃私语),“Who in our school could draw well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves (应得) a , too. Our mystery artist is our new student, Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to their hands, Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause (掌声) was deafening (震耳欲聋). I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

An interesting experience of my life
I went to Beijing this National holiday, and it was an interesting experience of my life.
My friends told us that taking the “hard 41 ” to Beijing would be really terrible. So we didn’t know what to 42 .But we were pleasantly surprised when we finally boarded the 43 ,which was relatively modern and 44 .During the 14-hour ride we ate peanuts and talked. It was not 45 at all.
It was morning when we arrived. We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much 46 . However, we had energy. First we tried to get return tickets to shanghai, but the tickets seller 47 us that tickets would not be on 48 for another two days. We were a little worried about getting 49 , but we made up our minds to 50 for the hotel to put our bags down. After fighting our way 51 the “gypsy” taxi drivers that tried to 52 us one hundred yuan for the ride, we found a taxi and it 53 cost us thirty yuan to get 54 we had planned to go. When we reached the hotel, there was a window for airplane and train tickets. 55 the man behind the counter could get tickets that day, which we 56 . The most important lesson about China I ever 57 , is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much 58 . We were not able to get tickets, but the 59 agents(代理人) could.
While in Beijing we saw a lot of places of interest, most of which were very 60 . It was fun to be with thousands of people in one place. There aren’t any words to describe it.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health,or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer 34,leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start, 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result.

It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 44 is like;we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s 49:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的) 50 may not be a bad one.

Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and 30 , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 31 . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't 32 ."
The study reported on 33 toward smoking in 1,500 households across the United States. It found that the vast majority of both smokers and nonsmokers were 34 that second-hand smoke is harmful to children. Some 95 percent of nonsmokers and 84 percent of smokers 35 with the statement that "inhaling smoke from a parent's cigarette can 36 the health of infants and children"。
But 37 fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 38 of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40 , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.
