Time flies! This is ＿＿ third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school _
_(organize) many activities. What impressed me __
__ (much) was an activity _
__ (call) “Learning to Farm”. On an autumn afternoon, we _
(send) to a farm _
___ we learnt to plant potatoes. ___
__ (be) in the city for such a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After _
__ (divide) into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes _
_ pieces, some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the holes, put the earth back and pushed
__down hard.
If the population of the Earth keeps on (increase) at its present rate, there will
(eventual) not be enough resources left to support life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we
(use) up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on Earth will make it
(necessity) for us to look for open space somewhere else. But
of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem,
, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagan believes that
the Earth’s resources are completely
(exhaust), it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and
create a new world almost as large as the Earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the Earth.
, there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Last year, I was on a trip in Sanxiarenjia in Yichang,Hubei. I waited for the boat(take) me along the Yijiang River. Out of nowhere, a shirtless man ran up to me and asked to take a photo with me.
both smiled as he said I was the first foreigner he had ever seen. He said “thank you” and ran off again.
The experience was funny, and it wasn’t the first time this(happen) to me. In fact, almost all the foreigners I know in China have experienced the
thing. Girls with blonde hair seem to be the most
(photograph). Most of them were surprised at first, but they now enjoy having their photo taken with happy students.
Of course, many countries in the West are home to different ethnicities. So it is normal to see peoplelook different. But it’s different in many areas of China.
Personally, I think it’s fine to take photos with strangers. But try to ask first. Once I(wait) for my friend in an art district when a group of girls began giggling (咯咯地笑) at their phones. I noticed one of them was pointing the camera at me,
(secret) taking photos. When I spotted them, they smiled and asked if they
take a photo with me. Maybe it is shyness, but I prefer when people ask
they take a photo. Most foreigners will say yes.
Wang Peng felt very frustrated when he realized none of his regular customers would eat in his restaurant. In his opinion, could be better than his fried mutton kebabs, fatty pork or his sugary cola. Something terrible
(happen).
(curious) drove him into Yong Hui’s newly-opened slimming restaurant and he
(amaze) at the menu there: raw vegetables, fruit and water. It was obvious
Yong Hui was telling
(lie) when promising to make the customers thinner. In order to win his customers back, he went to the library to do some research.
he found out was that Yong Hui’s menu didn’t give the customers energy-giving food. So Wang Peng wrote his own sign, saying “Energy-giving food served”. In fact, there was a weakness in Wang Peng’s menus
. Food at his restaurant contains too much fat. So
only solution is to combine the two menus together so as to provide a
(balance) menu with food full of energy as well as fibre.
A Frenchman went to a small Italian town and stayed with his wife atbest hotel there. One night, he went out for a walk alone. It was late and the small street was dark and quiet.
(sudden) he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man
walked past him quickly. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman found that his watch
(go). He thought that it
be the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided
(follow) him and get back the watch.
Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian. of them understood the other's language. The Frenchman frightened the Italian with his fist (拳头) while
(point) at the Italian's watch. In the end the Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman.
When he returned to the hotel, the Frenchman told his wife had happened. He was greatly surprised when his wife pointed to the watch on the table. Now he realized that he had robbed the watch
mistake.
