Everyone (2) _(live) on the earth needs to do his or her part to help protect these resources so our world will still be healthy and beautiful many years (3) _ now. (4)_ the population on earth continues to grow at a fast rate, it becomes harder to protect our land, air, and water from harmful pollution. The government plays (5)_ important role in managing pollution (6)_ passing laws and setting guidelines to increase pollution standards. Pollution management, which specifically involves reducing (7)_ cleaning up pollution, (8)_(expect) to be one of the fastest growing industries of the future. But the most important way people can fight pollution is to learn as (9)_ as possible about how their actions affect the environment. Then they can make wise choices (10)_ will reduce damage to the planet. Passage 2 Time is very important in our lives. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that made me (1)_(responsible) than ever.

I learned a very valuable lesson from my father: to respect time and never be late to get someone. This watch is important to me, not because of its price, (10)_ because of the lesson that I learned from it. Passage 3 The reality is not beautiful as we thought. If you choose only to complain and escape, it will always follow you (1)_ you go. But if you decide to be powerful, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune from (2)_ new hopes will arise. For me, small dose of hope is enough. When I was in my first year in high school, I hit a stretch where every area of my life was a disaster. I felt (3)_(depress) than I had ever been. I have no idea about my future. One day, I (4)_(walk) from class across campus to catch my bus home, head down, fighting tears of total despair, when an old man came down the sidewalk toward me.

Passage 4 I used to love to watch my high school track team train-especially the long-distance runners. But that year, my eyes (1)_(draw) to a girl whose running style was all wrong. She ran with her arms tucked close to her body, bouncing up and down in a way (2)_ must have driven her coaches crazy. My athletic mind laughed at her strange style, and I began to think of her (3)_ the Bouncer. In early May, my high school hosted (4)_ big sports meeting. A large group of athletes joined in the two-mile running race-including the Bouncer. As the race progressed, she (5)_(quick) fell far behind. But she just kept running, arms tucked close to her body, bouncing up and down-always (6)_(wear) the same smile. That poor girl, I thought. There was nothing to be gained (7)_ finishing so far behind the pack. Why didnt she just give up? Still, she never stopped, and (8)_ smile never changed.

As she entered the home stretch, a cheer began to rise, growing (9)_(loud) with each step the Bouncer took toward the finish line (10)_, finally, every person in the stands stood and cheered as if the fate of the whole race depended on this girl, bouncing toward the finish line. Passage 5 I was lucky-I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I (1)_(start) Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just (2)_ two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company (3)_ over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation-the Macintosh-a year (4)_(early), and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone (5)_ I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year things went well. But then (6)_ visions of the future began to differ and eventually we had a disagreement. When we did, our board of directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicity out.

I was a very public (9)_(fail), and I even thought about running away from the Silicon Valley, (10)_ something slowly began to draw on me-I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. Passage 6 In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population have a weight problem. To many people, the cause is clear: they eat too much. (1)_ scientific evidence does little to agree with it. (2)_(go) back to America of 1910, we found people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. Because in those days people worked (3)_(hard), walked more, used machines much less, and didnt watch televisions. Several modern studies, however, (4)_(show) that fatter people do not eat more 3 than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as (5)_ 1989 study of 3,545 London office workers show that fatter people eat less than thinner people. Studies show that thinner people are more active than fatter people. A study (6)_ a group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact: The more the man ran, the great (7)_(lose) of body fat. Thus, those who run the most eat the most, yet lose the most of body fat. Yet 80 to 90 percent of the people still dont get enough exercise. The situation is worse among children, (8)_ spent too much time watching TV, and too little time running around. In the USA, fitness is something (9)_ cannot get away from. Youll see special stores full of books and cassettes telling you how to get fit. Youll meet joggers in the park, and find at least one health club in (10)_ town. Passage 7 Most parents would probably be extremely grateful to be shown an easy way to instill into their children an (1)_(appreciate) of the value of money and a better understanding of how to make it. According to some critics, they can find the answer by reading a new best- selling book (2)_ financial wizard Robert T. Kiyosaki. Rich Dad Poor Dad has the title of a novel rather than (3)_ how to treatise and indeed, much of the book (4)_(write) in story form. (5)_ central theme is summed up by the subtitle What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money-That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not. The author also strongly disparages(蔑视) the tendency of most people to work for money rather than letting money work for them. Kiyosaki illustrates his point in the first part of the book by narrating a story (6)_ (base) on his childhood experiences. The title refers to the authors own (7)_(high) educated father, the poor dad, who always had to work hard to meet the familys needs; (8)_ the rich dad, a neighbor who had dropped out of high school but (9)_ financial cleverness turned him into a multimillionaire. The book has generated its share of negative feedback. For one thing, some reviewers have lashed out against its anti-education slant. All agree, though, (10)_ Kiyosaki is sound on the need to shake off a fearful, conservative mindset in order to make it big financially. Passage 8 The task of being accepted and enrolled in a university begins early for some students. Long before they graduate (1)_ high school, these students take special courses to prepare for advanced study. They may also take one or more examinations that test (2)_ well prepared they are for the university. In the final year of high school, they complete (3)_ (apply) and send them, with their student records, to the universities (4)_ they hope to enter. Some high school students may be required to have an interview (5)_ people from the university. Neatly dressed and usually very frightened, they are determined to show that they have a good attitude and the ability to succeed. After the new students (6)_(accept), many colleges and universities offer (7)_ instruction program for them to get to know the procedures for registration and students advising, university rules, the use of the library and all the (8)_ major services of the university. Beginning a new life in a new place can be very (9)_ (puzzle). The more knowledge students have about the school, the easier (10)_ will be for them to adapt to 4 the new environment. However, it takes time to get used to college life. Passage 9 My husband came to the United States when he was 3 (1)_(legal) and started high school but he discontinued because he was told that because hes (2) _ immigrant he wouldnt even have a chance to go to college. We got married 2 years ago and started his immigrant paper work last year. They told (3)_ he needed to go back to Mexico in order (4) _ him to fix properly and get all of this done. This was the hardest decision we have ever had (5)_(make) because we knew we would have to be separated. He went to Mexico barely knowing any Spanish and had to start over by himself. We finally got the appt in Juarez (6)_ boom they deny him just like that. Then they told us to wait for their decision. After 6 (7)_ months they finally make a decision to deny him and the reason? Hes affiliated with a criminal organization. What? We (8)_(think) its because he has tattoos but hes never been in a gang related and he has no criminal record at all.

Posted above the bench is a sign (1)_(show) a person putting litter in the bin. Do you comply with that request and dispose of (2)_ items? About one in three of you will, according to a paper just published by Damien Francey and Ralph Bergmller, two Swiss eco-ethologists at the University of Neuchatel (3)_ study human behavior. At least, one in three Swiss citizens will - decide for (4)_ if your own community is likely to mimic the good burgers of Geneva, where the experiments (5)_ (conduct). But heres the thing: the public-spirited one in three will, on average, expend more time and effort in clearing the bench if the no-litter sign has an image of eyes (6)_ it, than if it has an image of flowers. In (7)_ words, the image of eyes seems sufficient to convey a sense
