1 I admire my mother most. She loves my brother and me so much that she would do

everything for us. At the same time, she always encourages us to be independent and

try our best to do what we like. As a teacher, she has also t a good example for me.

She has worked as a primary school teacher for about 30 years and she has never got

tired of her work. She spends a lot of time helping her students, especially tho with

learning difficulties. I'm very proud of her. Live and work with pleasure – this is what I

have learned from her.

2 1. Baruti was born in the year (1962).

2. He was the (fourth / 4th)child in a very big family.

3. Baruti married his wife in (1990)

4. Together they opened an orphanage in (1996)

3 Baruti was born in Johannesburg. His father was a 1)(teacher)and his mother 2)(cleaned

hous)for rich people. When Baruti was in school, one of his friends 3)(lost)his parents

and moved to an orphanage. Baruti 4)(visited)him and when he saw his life there, he

decided to 5)(work)with orphans. Later he opened an orphanage with 6)(his wife).

Baruti regards Mother Teresa as his hero and his favorite book is Long Walk to Freedom,

the story of Nelson Mandela's life 7)(in his own words).

4 Mother Teresa's words tell us that small things can make a great difference. Few of us

can do anything great, but we can all do small things with great love.

My favorite book is Steve Jobs. The book is bad on more than 40 interviews with

Jobs conducted over two years as well as interviews with more than 100 family

members, friends, foes, competitors, and colleagues. Jobs spoke honestly about the

people he worked with and competed against. He encouraged the people he knew to

speak honestly too. So through the book, readers can not only read about the life of

the legendary Steve Jobs, but also have a genuine view of his personality that shaped

his approach to business and his products.

When I was ven years old, my parents bought a new wall clock with an owl inside. I

was very curious about how the owl moved its eyes and gave out sound. One day, I

took the clock off the wall, and took it apart with a screwdriver. After an hour, I still

couldn't figure out how the clock worked, and I couldn't put all the parts together. I

was scared. But when my father found what I had done, instead of scolding me, he

praid me for my eagerness to learn. And he taught me how to asmble the clock.

This experience made me love my father more. And more importantly, I fell in love with

mechanics since then. That's why I cho mechanics as my major.

There are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college

students may have been to camp or 1)(programs / programmes)away from home

before, but for some it's the 2)(very)first time they've left home. That means having to

make certain 3)(decisions)that they've never really had to make before.

Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4)(doing laundry), there

are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. "And what

happens if I don't do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?"

5)(Obviously), there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It's really

a jump from high school.

It's such a change when they don't have any parents around. They need to make

6)(choices)with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act

in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7)(ruining)their studies.

This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them

to 8)(get ud to)their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives.

There are a lot of 9)(opportunities)for students to try new things. There are so many

new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it's not working for them,

they can 10)(step back)and try something el. They should just give it a go! That's the

way everybody learns to grow up.

atmosphere is much better than when I watch movies alone at home.

My favorite movie star is Sandra Bullock. I like her becau she is beautiful and her

The man I like should be strong and fit, without a beard. And he should not have long

hair. The woman I like most is someone who is slim and healthy. She should have long

hair and big eyes. And I like girls who smile a lot. I believe everyone has something

beautiful about them, regardless of age, race, gender, size, ability, etc. I don't think

being lighter or slimmer equals beauty. Instead, I think the inner lf counts a lot more

than outer appearance. Virtues such as honesty, hard-working, and willingness to help

make one a beautiful person. / Beauty is what we e and feel. So my idea of beauty is

what is pleasing to the eyes. As long as it makes you feel good, it is beauty. So both

inner qualities and body features are important factors to make one look beautiful. Of

cour, what one considers beautiful may not appear the same to someone el. That

is why beauty standards are different from person to person, culture to culture and

5

time to time.

The ideas of beauty have changed over the past veral decades in China. Truly, on

the one hand, many still stick to the idea that one's inner quality counts more than

outer appearance. Honesty, hard-working, generosity, and kindness are considered

inner beauty. On the other hand, more and more people think outer appearance is

more important. Nowadays, many people, especially young people, hold some new

ideas about beauty. For example, long straight black hair ud to be thought as one

feature of beauty, but now young people want to look stylish by having their hair curled

and dyed. They follow the fashion trend and put on fashionable clothes and wear

make-up. More people are afraid of not looking attractive enough. So they go on diet

to look thinner and receive some cosmetic surgeries to look better. Still many others

realize that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to love their own body

for its uniqueness.

I don't think it is wi to judge a person by his / her appearance becau appearance

is superficial. Sometimes the appearance of a person may mislead your judgment when

it doesn't match well with the inner part of that person. For example, an ordinary-looking person can be a scientist, a hero, or a great thinker. Just as the proverb goes,

"Never judge a book by its cover." The greatness of a book lies in its content instead

of its cover. So it is with a person. Instead of focusing only on one's appearance, we

should get to know more about that person's education, life experiences and life

attitude before we make any judgment.

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to

the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1)(comic)books, movie magazines, and

TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2)(traffic)that car washes have. But how

This year, about 70,000 people 5)(took part in)the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday.

The festival 6)(attracted)280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an

7)(audience)question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of

local foods, from hot dogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8)(free of

charge). Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices

of the food court.

The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9)(put forward)years ago, but nobody knew

if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would

people in this city 10)(embrace)one? "Fortunately, they do," said one of the festival founders.

2. This happened in 1)(Australia) … when I was about 25. I spent a few days at a hotel in

Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk …

in the 2)(outback). It was a lovely day so I walked and walked … and then I realized I didn't

I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um … anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First

I heard them barking, and then I saw them … There was a group – maybe five or six dogs,

wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really 4)(frightened), but I remembered some advice

I, I, er … um, I … I read in my guidebook: 5)(Don't move), and don't look at 6)(the dogs).

So I froze, like a statue … I didn't move … and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and

didn't move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking … I thought

they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t

move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few

more minutes and then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most

7)(frightening) experience I've ever had!

3. When I was 12 years old and just graduated from elementary school, I went to Beijing

with my dad to e the 2008 Olympic Games. I loved basketball, so I wanted to watch the

Chine basketball team playing and I especially wanted to e Yao Ming playing. First,

we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of

cour, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to e if someone would

be lling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we

were about to leave, a man came up to us and said he had an extra ticket becau his

friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad

bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to

watch the game between the Chine team and the German team. I enjoyed the game

greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What

a wonderful experience!

Some parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually

landslides. A powerful earthquake 5)(occurred) in Yellowstone National Park on August 17,

1959. The earthquake was 6)(massive) and very strong. It also caud the worst landslides in

the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9)(grateful) that very

Humans' first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1)(Gradually), humans

learned to u animals for transportation. The u of animals not only allowed heavier

loads to be hauled by them, but also 2)(enabled) humans to ride the animals so they

could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel

helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3)(vehicles).

Also, water transportation 4)(dates back to) very early times and it was the best way to

move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution.

5)(As a result), most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along

rivers or the coast.

Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the

Revolution, transportation changed 6)(thoroughly). In the 19th century, the invention of

the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both

speed and 7)(capacity) incread rapidly.

With the development of cars at the 8)(turn) of the 20th century, land transportation

became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after

World War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II,

9)(automobiles) and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then,

after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, pasngers started using it in

Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.

Now, 10)(thanks to) the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy

various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.

Most people like to keep a healthy diet during the holiday ason starting from

Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year. There are many social events to 1)(celebrate)

and we love to look our best. We also need healthy food to 2)(provide us with) the energy

necessary to go to all of the parties with enthusiasm.

But the unfortunate reality is that many of us have a hard time 3)(sticking to) healthy

eating habits during the holidays. We face more 4)(challenges) at this time than we do

during the rest of the year. Starting from Thanksgiving, many of us are already

5)(anticipating) gaining some weight. The holiday ason is when we bring out abundant

and delicious food. Turkey, ham, cakes and other great foods attract us to eat larger

6)(portions) than we need. Many of us are more likely than usual to 7)(stuff) ourlves,

and not always with the healthiest food. Moreover, the holiday ason is a busy, and often

stressful, time of year. We are rushing too much, spending too much, and letting stress

8)(take hold of) us too often. This can lead to emotional eating, that is, eating too much

or too little.

Luckily, there are some 9)(effective) ways to fight holiday eating problems. Learn about

the caus of and solutions for emotional eating. Eat some healthy food before you go

to a party so that you won't eat too much there. Exerci after the party is over. All the

10)(strategies) can help you curb holiday eating without reducing your holiday joy.

1. I think this may be true. As people are increasingly realizing the importance of health,

they would get rid of unhealthy foods and eat only healthy foods. / I don't think this will

be true. People enjoy different kinds of food. So a diet without a variety of food will be

too boring and life will sound dull and meaningless.

2. Food pills may become more popular, but I don't think they can be a substitute for

normal meals. They can be supplementary to normal meals, but they should not be the

standard food becau they are not as healthy as real food. Besides, we are accustomed

to eating different kinds of food with different kinds of flavors. Life will be boring if we

could only eat food pills. / I think this prediction will be true. As the pace of life is getting

faster, people are looking for convenient and efficient way to eat. Food pills could be the

solution.

3. I don't think this will happen. Certain food has certain flavor. When people get the same

food, it should taste the same. It's hard to imagine that the same food can change its

flavor for different people. / I think this may happen. In the future, with some advanced

technology, it may be possible to program different flavors for the same kind of food. As

a result, with the same food, different people can have different flavors by simply pushing

a button.

1. This might happen, but it won't happen soon. In fact, there is enough food in today's

world for everyone, but it is not available to some people who need it.

2. I agree. Although we all know that junk food is not good for health, it is very likely that

people will eat more unhealthily in the future. As the modern pace of life is getting quicker,

people will have to eat fast food more frequently for convenience.

3. I don't agree. Although more people have realized the negative effect of eating too

much meat, I don't think people will stop eating animals in the future. The human body

needs meat and meat is delicious.

4. This may happen. With the ever expanding population, there will not be enough food

for everyone in the world. This may lead to a ri in food prices. As a result, many people

will have to grow their own food, becau otherwi, they would have to spend a large

sum of money on food.

5. This may happen. Actually, in recent years, there is an increasing tendency that people

are spending less time with their family. With competition getting stronger, many people

have to work overtime and return home late, so they do not have enough free time to

eat with their family members. This situation will probably get wor in the future.

6. I don't agree. Although it's getting popular to order food online, I don't think the next

generation may thus not know how to cook. Cooking is not difficult to learn. The next

generation may spend less time on cooking, but they will certainly cook becau this is

life and cooking can be an interesting hobby.

There are many factors that affect a person's sleep. Stress is the number one cau of

short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related

1)(pressures), and rious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping problems 2)(disappear)

when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not

managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3)(compromi) good

health.

Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems, too. Drinking coffee or 4)(alcohol) in the

afternoon or evening, exercising clo to bedtime, following an irregular morning and

nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5)(inten) activities right before

or after getting into bed can interrupt sleep.

Traveling also 6)(interferes with) sleep, especially traveling across veral time zones. This

can 7)(undermine) your biological rhythms and cau sleep disorders such as trouble

falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep.

Environmental factors such as a room that's too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can

be an obstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8)(pay attention to) are the comfort

and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside

someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9)(suffers from)

other sleeping difficulties, it often becomes your problem too!

Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working

round the clock to be 10)(competitive), so some people have to work at night; with

nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night.

All the make sleeping at regular times difficult.

According to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence

than wealth. Rearchers say that they got interested in this idea becau there is

abundant 1)(evidence) that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness

much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2)(enhance)

happiness.

The rearchers put their idea to the test in a t of studies. First, they 3)(interviewed) 80

college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was

4)(rated) bad on peer evaluation, lf-reports and the number of leadership positions

the students held. The rearchers also 5)(took into account) the students' family income

and asked them about their social well-being. They found the admiration the students

received from their peers 6)(forecast) their social well-being. However, their wealth or

income did not.

Similar results 7)(emerged) in another study with a larger group of students.

In a final study, the rearchers followed graduate students in business schools. They

found the MBA students' social well-being 8)(was related to) changes in the respect they

felt from their peers before and after graduation. They noted that respect had more to

do with the students' well-being after graduation than the money they made.

One of the reasons why money doesn't buy happiness is that people quickly 9)(adapt

themlves to) the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially

happy but then return to their 10)(original) level of happiness quickly. What can last is the

feeling of being respected, having influence and being socially connected.
