very sweet，and he filled his leather container (皮革容器) so that he could bring some 1.back to his teacher.After a four­day journey，he presented the water to his teacher.The old man took a deep drink，smiled 2.w armly and thanked his student very much for the sweet water.The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.After a while，the teacher let a 3.second student taste the water.He spat (吐) it out，saying it was terrible.It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh and sweet because of the old leather container.The student questioned his teacher，“Master，the water tasted strange.Why did you still like it？” The teacher replied，“You 4.simply tasted the water while I tasted the gift.The water was the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be 5.s w eeter．”After reading the story，we can understand that when we receive a chocolate as a gift from a child，we get more than the chocolate 6.itself．What we should do properly is to express 7.thanks naturally to him or her because we love the idea within the gift.Gratitude (感谢) doesn't always come naturally. 8.unluckily，most children and many grown ­ups like only the thing given rather than the 9.expressions shown in it.We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and 10.feelings of gratitude.After all，gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.B(2015，杭州)ad v ice，decide，make，sleep，that，I，anything，angry，too，al w ays From：sandra@To：elle@Subject：Need help!Hi Elle，I need some help with my problems.I don't know what to do！You're so

example，a lot ofelephants aren't 1.w ild．They are domesticated (驯养)．They aren't kept as pets，but as working animals.Every working elephant 2.has its own keeper.An elephant and its keeper meet for the first time when they are both young，and they grow up together.In fact，their relationship continues for the rest of the elephant's 3.life—perhaps 40 years.Lots of elephants work in the forest，moving heavy 4.trees when they are cut down.Some give rides to tourists，or 5.carry people during celebrations and festivals.Keepers take excellent care of their elephants，feeding them 6.w ell and giving them a bath at the end of the working day.7．Another special animal in India is the cow.Cows are protected animals，8.so they aren't kept on farms or killed for food，although people do use their milk.So in India you can often see cows walking around towns and cities，and nobody tries to 9.control them.If they sit down in the middle of the road，people ually drive around them！Do you think it's

very 1.w eak．No one believed he could continue to live.But he surprised 2.e v eryone．He had one of the most powerful minds in history.And he lived 3.until he was 84.Newton's father died before he was born.His mother married again a few years later.She 4.left Newton with his grandmother.The boy was not a good student.Yet he was curious (好奇的) and liked to make things，such as kites，clocks and simple machines.Newton also 5.enjoyed finding new ways to answer questions or solve problems.As a boy，for example，he wanted to find a way to measure (测量) the 6.speed of the wind.On a windy day，he measured how far he could jump with the wind at his back.Then he measured how 7.far he could jump with the wind in his face.From the difference between the two jumps，he made his own measure of the power of the wind.Strangely，Newton became a much better student after a boy kicked him in the stomach.The boy was one of the best students in the school.Newton decided to get even (报复) by getting 8.higher marks than the boy who kicked him.In a short time，Newton became the top student at the school.Newton left school to help on the family farm.9.Ho w e v er，the boy was not a good farmer.He spent his time solving math problems instead of taking care of the farm.He spent hours visiting a bookstore in town，10.instead of selling his vegetables in the market.An uncle believed that Newton would do better as a student than as a farmer.So he sponsored (资助) the young man into Cambridge University to study math.E(2015，兰州)should，use，dangerous，habit，spend，much，safely，at，it，although Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Lanzhou，especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is very 1.dangerous．The purpose of these overhead bridges is to enable passengers to cross road 2.safely．Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings.They are more efficient 3.although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps.This is inconvenient especially to old people.When passengers are ing a zebra crossing，traffic is held up.This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving 5.at the same time.The government of Lanzhou has 6.spent lots of money in building these bridges.For theirown safety，passengers 7.should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by running across the road.Old people，however，may find 8.it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps，but it is still 9.much safer than walking across the road with all the dangerous of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose.Passengers，both old and young，should make a 10.habit to use them.This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.F(2015，攀枝花改编)w
