We took our school bus to the test center. There had already been a teacher waiting for us in the front of the school gate by the time we arrives. I dressed in my favorite sportswear and ready to go for it.

We were guided to the playground,after that the teacher made us stand in several lines and instructed us with some safety warning. Then we walked into the test center and started to warming up. I did the preparations carefully to make sure my body would function proper when running. Finally the running began and the competition was fierce. I kept close behind a fastest student in my group. I told myself many times not to give up when feel exhausted,and I made it. I was out of breath after the run. However,I learned perseverance means a lot in life.

Everyone 1       (know) that the French are romantic,the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are these just stereotypes or is there really 2       a thing as national character? And if there is,can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not 3       (appreciate) by the British public.

Britain is hostile to success,they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result,the survey said,entrepreneurs were " unloved,unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known 4        the" greeneyed monster" and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK 5       (recent) tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an 6       (imagine) amount of money. Some were given a little,others a great deal. Those7       ( give) a little money were given the chance 8       (destroy) the large 9       (amount) of money given to others―but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of 10       people tested agreed to do this.

In my opinion,it is high time that we must take quick action to protect them. A national publicly campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition to,the government should pass some firm laws to forbid animal killing. Only with this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

Each person must find their own strength and motivation when they overcome the difficulties that stand in their way. 1       They allowed me to develop in the competitive world of professional football and in my present profession as a motivational speaker and author.

2       As a parent we want great things for our children but unless that desire comes from within your child,they cannot succeed. I saw situations where parents had taken away the opportunity for their child to develop that burning desire to succeed. When parents step in and take these decisions away from young athletes,the young never develop the desire to win the competition at a higher level demands.

Goal setting is a training that successful people practice. Sports are great places to develop the habit of goal setting. I have found that setting preparation goals is much more effective than setting game goals. After honestly judging a performance I would pick one or two areas that need improving for the next game. 3       Dedication (奉献) is hard work,constant learning,and refusing to quit. 4       Do they know how hard their sports heroes worked and continue to work at their desire? Your dedication,approval,and respect for dedication will help develop it in your child.

Teamwork is what the world is hungry for. In great teams the team covers up for each person's weaknesses. 5       As a longtime captain of the Denver Broncos I have instant credibility in this field but the truth is that teamwork is as important in the workplace as at home.

   A. Many children give up easily.

   B. The first key to success is desire.

   C. The first factor we can't ignore is opportunity.

   D. And I would concentrate on them for a long time.

   E. It took me a long time to realize the importance of dedication.

   F. Meanwhile it values and makes full use of each one's strengths.

   G. Along the way I learned the universal unchanging keys to success.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. A recent study shows that various kinds of wild animals had decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced at average each year,there were only 1. 5 million left till 2014.

There are several reasons accounted for this problem. Apart from the polluting environment and natural disasters,illegal killing is important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit,this has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion,it is high time that we must take quick action to protect them. A national publicly campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition to,the government should pass some firm laws to forbid animal killing. Only with this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

I found out one time that doing a favor 1        someone could get you into lots of trouble. When I was having a test in my eighth grade,the girl sitting next to me whispered something,but I didn't understand.     2          I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 3        I had an extra pen. She showed me that 4         (she) was out of ink. I took an extra one and put it on her desk.

Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students 5       (dismiss) . She began to talk to me about how important it was to be responsible for your own acts. She talked about honesty and6       (emphasize) the fact that when people do something 7       (honest) ，they are really cheating themselves. I was completely at a loss,wondering 8          she talked to me about all those things.

Later on,I found out she thought I 9       (cheat) on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl,it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by10       (lend) her my pen,all she could say was that it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't talked of it before. I am sure she didn't believe in me.

Time flies like an arrow before we realize it. It is known that nothing are more precious than time. The good old proverb "time is money" reminds us that time is valuable. When time goes by,it will never return back. However,it is a pity that some people don't make full use of their time. They spend a lot of time in sleeping,chatting,playing computer games or other unmeaning matters. They don't realize that wasting time is actually equally to kill themselves. They always regret not have made great achievements. One of the reason may be that they do not make good use of time. Therefore,in order to be success,they should first get into the habit of being on time,it is a sign of cherishing time. Don't put down what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead failure. Don't wait,because you don't know how long it will take when you put off your plan.

The most wellknown animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise (巨型海龟) . 7       can be seen8       (move) slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz,the second9       (large) island in the archipelago (群岛) .
