We produce lots of rubbish everyday.  (take) away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city  (collect) the rubbish. Most of it is made up of things we can't eat  use. If we keep these things, we will have a mountain of rubbish soon.

    In some cities the rubbish.  (carry) outside the city to a dump(垃圾场). The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into a sewage system(污水处理系统).  sewage system takes away the used water  toilets and other places.

    People usually use some earth to cover the dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the land. After all of these, the place looks much  (clean) than before. With the beautiful environment in front of  (we), it's hard to imagine that it used to be a rubbish dump. But actually it is not  (health) to stay in such a place for a long time.

    In order to protect the cities, the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything  the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories. In those factories, the metal is made into different kinds of products.

    Pablo and I were walking home from playing football. On the way, I told him that our school needed  football team. At once, Pablo suggested, "Why not run for(竞选) class president so that you can set one up?"

    "Who would want  (I)?" I asked, surprised at the idea.

    Pablo made a list of reasons: I was the  (good) student of all in sports and lessons; I was  (friend) to everyone. When I told him running for president would be much work, he  (promise) that he would help me.

    I did run, and Pablo did help me. First，we made posters to hang in the hallway. Next, Pablo helped me  (write) a speech about why I'd make a good class president.

    The big day came. I gave my speech in front of the whole grade, promising my  (classmate) that if they chose me, I'd start a football team.

    As Pablo and I nervously waited  the result, I was told that my speech was  successful that I was the right person to be class president.

    Now we went  (happy) to Coach Simpson and asked how I could start our new football team.

    A big company wanted to find someone to work for them. Lots of young college students came to ask for the 1. And this time, the company didn't plan to choose the right persons as usual.

    Here came the day when they took the final interview. A big box full of paper was placed on the way to the interview room, and a few pieces of 2 were lying around the box. The first 3 came. He hurried along the way to take the interview. " 4 put this box in the middle of the road?" the student said to himself, but he did not try to move the box away.

    The second student came along and did the 5 thing. Then another came, and another. All of them 6 about the box, but none of them tried to move it.

    Half an hour later, a thin young man with glasses came. He saw the box and the paper around it. Without thinking twice, he stopped and began to pick up the paper and put it into the 7. Then he moved the box to the side. 8 he found a(n) 9 under the box. It said, "Congratulations! You are the 10 person we are looking for! Would you like to join us?"

    Sometimes, you see, helping others is helping yourself.

    Family celebrations, such as holidays and birthday parties, are always full of fun. When family members get together, they often 1 today, the past or the future.

    Here are some 2 to help you save your memories.

    It's never too 3 to start an album of family photos. You can ask family members to 4 some photos from their collections. When you all get together, you can make a slide show (幻灯片). People always 5 looking at old pictures.

    Cameras are 6 for recording videos of the family. Everyone can make a video from their own point of view. Videos are 7. They help you remember happy times.

    It's fun to make a family 8. You can use photos, too. When there is a new family member—for example, a new 9 —don't forget to add him or her to the family tree.

    If you can't attend a family celebration, don't worry about it. You can write everyone a letter or you can call them.

    Never 10 to stay in touch with your family.

    An old friend from the US whom I was looking forward to staying with, telephoned from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was still at the 1 at that time, but I had got everything ready for his arrival. After letting him know where my house was, I told him that I had the 2 under the door-mat (门垫). 3 I was possible to be home rather late, I told him to go into the 4 and help himself to food and drink.

    Two hours later my friend 5 me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful 6. He had found a cooker and 7 two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken from the ice box. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would 8 him. When I asked him if he had reached the house without difficulty, he answered, "I was not able to find the key, but 9 the living room windows just by the apple tree were left open and you know what I could do."

    I listened to all this in 10. In front of my living room there was no apple tree at all.

    Robert is a great golf player. One day, he won a competition and got some money. 1 receiving the check(支票), he prepared to leave. He walked alone to his car and 2 a young woman.

    The young woman stopped him and said congratulations on his 3. Then she told him that her child was badly 4 and was dying. But her family was poor and she couldn't afford to pay the hospital bill.

    Robert was moved by her story, 5 he gave his winning check to the woman. "Make some good days for the 6," he said as he put the check into her hand.

    The next week, a policeman asked Robert whether he gave a check to a young woman. Robert 7.

    "Well." said the policeman. "I have bad news for you. She does not have a sick baby. She's not even married. She cheated you, my friend."

    "You 8 there is no baby who is dying?" Robert asked.

    "Yes, that's right，" said the policeman.

    "That's the 9 news I've heard all week." Robert said happily. "Life is more important."

    Good news or bad news? It depends on how you see things. Robert chose to go on with his life 10. We should learn from him.
