Several years ago, when a foreigner appeared in China, many people would gather around and stared____ him or her as if they were watching a rare animal.
However, it’s not uncommon to meet some foreigners even in middle schools now. There’s no doubt ___ schools will be better known. What’s more, it’s good for students to develop interest
_____ English study as well as learn more about foreign cultures. Meanwhile, their oral English will be improved a lot.
_____ the other hand, some foreigners, though well paid, find
____difficult to get used to the way of life in a foreign country and they sometimes worry
_____ their safety.
___we know, everything has two sides. In my opinion, the foreign teachers are not quite familiar with the students. As a result, many students can’t benefit
___ them. So we should try our best to communicate more with the foreign teachers.
Thank you very much for your letter. Your trip sounds exciting! I can’t wait_______ hear what Africa is like.
Since my last letter to you, I had a little adventure _______ my own. Early this month, my mother and I took
______ flight to Dunhuang, in the north-west of China. The desert out there was really quite amazing—I had never seen so much sand in my life!
______ we were there, we arranged with a tour company to ride camels. I was very excited
_______ this was the first time I had seen one up close. We had hoped that we would get to see some other wildlife on our trip,
_______ sadly we didn’t.
Since you are going to the Sahara, I have some advice-----be sure to bring a large hat and a shirt with long sleeves,______you’ll need for protection. The sun can be
______brilliant that you’ll need to keep covered or you’ll get burnt-----my cheeks were so red for days after my trip. And another thing, you’ll need to keep a good supply of water with you, since it is so dry and hot.
I am sure you’ll have a nice trip. I look forward to receiving your postcards!
Best wishes

I have found that spreading kindness is not always about you do for someone, but it can also be what you say. One day I was standing in line at the gas station. Ahead of me were
other people.
of them had a smile on their face and they all seemed to be in a hurry .After the cold ,snowy winter, we were having a warm, sunny day. I wanted to cheer them up, so I spoke up and said, “I don’ t know
one of you ordered this fantastic day for us, but l want to say I really appreciate
and thank you .”After that, the five of us smiled
we started talking to each other. What I had said made
big difference to everyone’s day. You can see that it is much easier to spread kindness
words.

Being able to learn to relax can be very important, especially if you have a stressful life. When you build up too much tension without being able to control or release it, over time,can develop some serious health problems.
If you want to learnto relax, one simple way is to remind yourself that most of the things that we worry about never even happen. It is good to think ahead to make sure that future problems don’t show up,
many people spend a lot of time worrying about things that are totally out of their control. Learn to relax by only focusing on things you
control. Relaxing doesn’t always mean sitting back and
doing anything. If you have things to do, you can do them in a relaxed manner.
You can still relax and do all the things you need to do. Justyou have demands and responsibilities, it doesn’t mean you have to do everything in
stressed manner. The key is to simplify your life. Just relax by focusing
the moment.
Christmas is no fun when you're poor．Twenty years ago I was a young, （struggle）,substitute（替补） teacher whose calls into work had been few．Money was tight, bills were due my wife and I couldn't even afford
（get）Christmas gifts for each other．The only gifts we could get for our children were a few soft toys that I had found
（sell）at half price in the supermarket．I opened the door and brought in the gifts I
（hide） in our old car's trunk．Then I handed them to my son and daughter．I watched with a sad smile as they did
best to tear off the wrapping(包装） paper．As they pulled out their toys, though, I noticed their faces lit
and they jumped up and down．My daughter
（happy） hugged her toy and then hugged her Mom and me as well．I laughed as I watched my children play with their toys for_
_ (hour), and Thanked God for the．
_ （great） bifilar ever been given．Till today I still treasure
gift of pure love that my son and daughter gave me that day．
