I was participating in the First-Year Outdoors Program. I had never done any serious hiking（徒步旅行） before， had never gone more than two days 1 a shower and had never even gone camping before. I wasnt sure what 2 （expect） from the trip.

I felt like I had finally understood 3 this trip was all about when we reached the peak（山峰） of a mountain after climbing up steep 4 （block）of stone. I would never have dreamed of climbing them in the past. I had never seen a view like it before： trees 5 （cover）mountains， clouds casting shadows on mountains. As I sat down on top of this mountain， I felt a strange sense of 6 （lonely）that accompanied my awareness of how high we were 7 how far we were from everyone below us. There 8 （be）so much I hadnt known in my life down below. For the last eighteen years， I had never slept under the stars， hiked in the rain， or slid down 9 rock. But here， with no showers， soap， or technology to distract（使分心）me， I had developed an appreciation for nature and was 10 （amaze）to discover a type of beauty I hadnt known existed.

God noticed his devotion， and， 3 （wish） to encourage him， said that he would grant （實(shí)現(xiàn)） one single wish the beggar may have.

The beggar was 4 （delight）to hear such a wonderful message. He immediately thought about 5 particular gift he should need. But the more he thought， the more confused he became 6 there were so many things he felt he needed — sight， wealth， long life， a wife， children， and so on.

But he was so clever 7 after serious thinking， he felt he should ask for all the things he missed in life. He then went to the church and 8 （pray） to God，“Well， my wish is simple. Before I die， I may see my sons grandson living in 9 six-storied house， drinking milk and honey and eating fragrant rice out of a golden bowl.”

In this way the clever beggar had really asked 10 sight， family， wealth， a palace， longevity（長壽） and happiness， and his wish was granted.

With the exception of 20 boys who had moved away 4 died， the students learned 176 of the 5 （remain）180 had achieved more than ordinary success as lawyers， doctors and businessmen.

The professor was astonished and decided to pursue the matter 6 （far）. Fortunately， all men were in the area and he was able to ask each one，“How do you account for your 7 （succeed）？”In each case the reply came with feeling， “There was 8 teacher.”

The teacher was still alive， so he sought her out and asked the old but still alert lady 9 magic ways she had used to pull these boys out of the slums into successful achievement.

The paper， ink， brush， and ink-stone are known as the Four Treasures of the Study in China. And the brush is the essential tool used by calligraphers 1 （create） the artistic ink traces of the characters. Brushes can be classified into four

2 （type） based on different materials. Yang Hao can be used in writing many texts and is preferred by people 3 are good at calligraphy. Lang Hao is 4 （main） used in painting and because it's harder and 5 （easy） to control， it is 6 first choice for many calligraphy learners. Zi Hao is neither too hard nor too soft， 7 Jian Hao is very fine and is mostly used by monks in their writings.

Although the look of a brush seems very simple， 8 （it） actual production process can be quite complicated and much effort is involved in producing a good quality brush. 72 procedures are needed， from the selection of material， hair processing， carving to packaging. Several workers are involved in the production，

9 （take）charge of different procedures. It takes about a month to produce a good brush. After thousands of years， this ancient writing tool， which 10 （bear） the spirit of Chinese traditional culture， is still cherished by the ordinary people today.

With the development of technology， bicycle sharing

1 （come） into peoples lives. It becomes more and more popular and much news reported 2 . At the same time， we should see that there are some problems 3 （cause）by bicycle sharing.

On one side， bicycle sharing makes it very convenient for people to travel. You can find a bicycle anywhere at any time

4 you want to go out for a cycling， and the price of one trip is very low. It can save time for people.

On the other side， its 5 （manage） is not perfect. Even kids can open the lock and ride the bicycle， there is no doubt that such behavior is very dangerous. Whats more， many people 6 （deliberate） break it， like throw it to the river or 7 （destroy） the code above it.

In my opinion， we should take a developing view 8 bicycle sharing. It is obviously helpful to human beings as

9 high-tech product. The government should introduce relevant provisions to regulate this market 10 （avoid）its disadvantages.

My mother 1 （diagnose）with breast cancer in the early twenty-first century. I did everything I could 2 （help）her. I got her into one of the best cancer-treatment 3 （center）in Chicago， cooking her healthy meals and 4 （keep）her company whenever I was available. Still， I wished I could do more. One day I saw a new postage stamp. It cost the same 5 a regular stamp， 6 its profits would go toward breast cancer 7 （aware）and research. I thought of the millions of women in the United States with breast cancer. 8 a great way！I could make 9 difference every time I paid a bill or sent out cards. Soon coworkers and relatives were asking me about the stamps that I used. More than thirty-seven million dollars have been raised since the stamp was issued in 2008.

The Environment Agency collects the data from that process. It 1 （say）2.2 million tones of plastic packaging waste was generated（產(chǎn)生） in 2014. Packaging waste includes things like plastic bottles 2 film wrap on fresh food， but not things like car bumpers（保險(xiǎn)杠）. 3 2014， 38% of the plastic packaging waste， was recovered or recycled.

How much plastic waste is getting sent overseas？In 2014 and 2015， 500，000 tones of that went to China and Hong Kong，

4 in 2016，it was 400，000 tones.

So the amount of plastic waste being exported to China

But as news emerged of the changes to the rules in China， the amount being exported there this year started 8 （decline）. China has changed its rules on 9 （import） waste to be recycled， 10 means the UK wont be able to send some grades of waste plastic there any more.

Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. Large quantities of energy 1 （need） to run the factories of modern industrial nations. Automobiles， trains， planes and buses need energy， too. Nearly all of this energy is produced by 2 （burn） fuels. The burning produces wastes， some of 3 remain in the air， causing air pollution.

Scientists are searching 4 ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely（濃密地） polluted cities. They are studying new ways of generating （產(chǎn)生）electricity that 5 （be） less harmful to the environment. In the meantime， many power plants are being modernized to give off less polluted material. Also， engineers try their best 6 （design） and locate（確定位置） new power plants to do minimum damage to the environment.

However， the fact may be that we still have 7 long way to go before we have a“clean”world. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air 8 （pollute）. Indeed， it seems that there is no end to 9 （task） that environmentalists will be required to do. People will 10 （continual） find new ways of controlling pollution.

Learning is ones own business， which cannot rely on

1 . As we know， learning is a process of accumulating knowledge. It is ones life-long task， 2 cannot be accomplished in one move. A successful learner is an independent one who has both an unyielding（倔強(qiáng)不屈的） will and amazing endurance（忍耐力）. He will try his best to discover his own way of learning. Instead of waiting for the teachers assistance， he will make efforts to create favorable 3 （condition） on his own initiative（主動(dòng)性）. It will 4 （certain） be of great help， if there 5 （be） good environment， enough books and equipment， as well as instructions 6 （give） by teachers and beneficial friends. But even if one has got all these favorable conditions， one cannot be sure to succeed 7 learning.

So the most important factor in learning 8 （consist）in ones own effort. To learn is rather a painstaking（辛苦的）business. Many 9 man is a failure because he cannot bear such unavoidable hardships. Never stopping efforts can compensate for the lack of talents and thus enable one to make 10 （consider） progress in learning.

Some people tend to stick to their positions all the time， as they think the 1 （long）one works in a particular field， the more skillful one will be at it. Some have been teachers all 2 （they） lives. Some devote their whole life to 3 （science） research. Such people love their work and turn out to be 4 （specialist） in their own field. They are usually high achiever.

Some are different. They are in 5 habit of job-hopping（跳槽）， for they always pursue（追求）things 6 are new and interesting. They never seem content 7 their present situation. Some like to meet more people and make more money， so they hop from job to job.

As far as I am concerned， I want 8 （be） professionally strong. I am not in favor of constant job-hopping， as the saying 9 （go），“Jack of all trades and master of none.”But I want to cooperate and communicate with someone else so as to be more 10 （create） and less partial.

Most Americans would find it hard to think 1 life would look like without a car. However， some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution 2 （cause） by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build 3 car that causes less pollution. But it is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to replace the car engine with something else. Now 4 （invent） are working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years 5 （develop） a useful and satisfactory model.

To prevent the world 6 being polluted by cars， we make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans， for example， have to reduce the number of their total cars. They 7 （encourage） to travel and to work by bicycle. It is thought to help man to keep the air clean.

But this change does not come 8 （easy）. A large number of workers might find themselves without jobs if a car factory 9 （go） bankrupt（破產(chǎn)）. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Although cars have led us to a better life， 10 have also brought us new problems.

Health is our most important possession. We should do our best to maintain（保持） it. A happy man is a healthy man， and only the healthy man can live 1 happy life.

The only desire of patients 5 （be）always to live an ordinary and healthy life. Second， good health establishes a firm foundation for your 6 （ambitious） of the career. Without it， any lofty（崇高的） wish will only be a daydream.

Then how can we keep fit？I think three principal 7 （suggest）should be followed. The first one is that a scientific diet， which 8 （provide） the necessities for your body， should be adopted. The second one is that physical exercises should be done 9 （regular）， especially for the indoor people. Last but not least， a cheerful mood should be kept.

In order to keep fit， I force 10 （I）to keep away from the“junk food”， although it usually tastes good， I even form a good habit of doing morning exercises. And the beautiful music and good books always cheer me up.

It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel， you will see beautiful scenery. Besides，you can meet 1 （person） of different colors and races. Finally， you can get to know the customs and living habits 2 the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries.

People travel mainly， perhaps， for pleasure. For example， having worked hard throughout the weekdays， people will find a trip to the nearby mountains or beaches really 3 （relax）. For another example， 4 （spend）an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those

5 do not have many opportunities to leave their homelands. After their return， they will generally feel fresh， ready to work 6 （hard）.

Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. Even though you 7 （hear） about something before， you can never get an accurate picture of it 8 you see it for yourself. Furthermore， if you are a careful observer， you can learn much when travelling. No matter how well-educated you are， there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge

9 （acquire） from travel is no less valuable than

10 from any influential reference book.

We students are the builders of our country， so we must know what our duties are.

First， we should try our best to obtain knowledge. We students must pay attention 1 teacherslectures because our teachers are 2 （much）knowledgeable and experienced than us. They always tell us useful things， so we must work hard. If we have studied well in our 3 （young）， we 4 （be）able to accomplish great things in the future.

Second， we must take care of our bodies. Health is our most important asset（財(cái)產(chǎn)）. Without it， we may have to depend on others instead of being able to help them.

Third， we can get knowledge not only from 5 （book）， but also from practice. 6 （fortunate）， there are so many people who can only talk but cannot put their ideas into practice. Therefore， it is useful for us to put our knowledge into practice even in school 7 thus enrich our experience.

Fourth， we must learn to care about others. A person 8 is selfish is not well liked. He usually does not work well with others for the good of society. On the other hand， 9 person who is concerned about people is willing to cooperate with others and contribute his time and effort to 10 （improve）society.

Shan shui refers to a style of Chinese painting of scenery or
