14．On keeping a Diary in English
Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways（41）to improve （improve） our English writing ability．Compared with other forms of writing，it is （42）shorter （short） and takes less time．It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English．（43）Ifwe keep practising，gradually we'll learn （44）how to express ourselves in English．In keeping a diary in English，we certainly run up against many（45）difficulties （difficult）．In the first place，it often happens that we have trouble （46）finding （find）appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind．Secondly，there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese．And （47）itis extremely hard for us to put them into English properly．
As far as I （48）concerned （concern），my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach．Whenever something beats us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary．We can also turn to our English teacher （49）for help，if necessary．In short，I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for （50）the development of our writing skills．

10．There are many opinions about happiness．To some，happiness is being surrounded（61）byfamily and friends．To others，happiness means （62）achieving （achieve） success in something，such as meeting a goal．To those （63）whohave been injured or struggle with a physical disability，happiness can （64）simply （simple） mean a day without suffering，or just being alive．Then，how to find happiness？Sang Lan is（65）a very good example．While she （66）was injured（injure） and in hospital，she amazed the world by the way she remained （67）cheerful（cheer）．After she went back to China，she adapted （68）to her new life quickly．Not only did she graduate from Peking University in 2007with a degree in broadcasting （69）butshe also hosted a sports program about the 2008Beijing Olympics．Her courage is admirable and all of us should think about how she rebuilt her life （70）when/whenever our lives feel unbearable．

9．26November 1922
Today is the best day of my life!All my years of training as（61）an explorer have finally paid off!
After days of labour，making surveys，digging and （62）carrying （carry） away earth，we （63）finally （final） found the tomb of Tutankhamun，opened it and saw （64）its contents．When we broke open the door，the air was （65）so hot and dusty inside that we had trouble （66）breathing （breathe）．Since it was dark，we had to turn （67）on some flashlights so that we （68）could （can） see．Within the tomb，whichever way we looked there （69）was （be） a fortune in gold and treasure．Everything in the tomb had been preserved from the time of King Tutankhamun's death．After looking into the tomb，we closed it back up again．As we want to have a scientific （70）examination （examine） of everything there，we do not want to disturb anything in it until we are ready．

8．How are you？I am sorry I haven't written for a while．since I have been very busy （61）training（train）for the local table tennis tournament．In your last letter you asked me to tell you something about table tennis．
Table tennis，also called ping-pong，is played all around the world and is （62）anOlympic sport．It is played on a table that is 2.74metres by 1.525metres and （63）stands（stand）76centimetres from the ground．The net goes across the centre of the table and is 15.25centimetres high．It is very similar to playing tennis on a court．
Many players believe table tennis is not only a physical game （64）butalso a psycho-logical game as well．A frequent technique used by many players is to stare at the people they are playing against to make them feel uncomfortable．Today，players from China，South Korea
and Germany among others play leading （65）roles（role）in international table tennis com-petitions．
I hope this information will be of use to you．Good luck with your sport．
yours，
Lu Fang．

7．Thank you （71）for your inviting me to go on holiday with you．I thought this would be a very good （72）chance to see you again．I still remember the time when we chatted the night through，（73）discussing （discuss） our plans for the future．It （74）seemed/appeared that everything would be OK with our arrangements （安排） this weekend．（75）However/Unfortunately，one of my relatives，（76）who has been in the United States for two years，will visit my family this Saturday．My parents expect me to stay at home．As a （77）result，I regret（78）totell （tell） you that I have to （79）change our plans．I think we can meet during the summer holiday．When that time comes，we will be together again and enjoy the （80）beautiful （beauty） scenery of Wenzhou．
Best wishes．
