The sun was shining but everyone was very quiet that morning. I took photographs at the bottom of the wall and tried to _92_. Everyone in the group went up. Then the moment came. It was my turn. I was so scared that all I could think about was my excuse. Someone said, “Shall I take your camera?” and I answered, “Im not scared, you know. I suffer from vertigo.” The _93_ was that I was more than scared, I was terrified (吓坏了). The camp leader said, “Don t worry, you dont have to do anything you dont want to do.” I was surprised.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）：Some people might choose to live in a sleepy village beside woods and lakes, but others enjoy the bright lights and fast pace of the big city. Stephen and Marianna have got different stories.Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a small flat in London. I chose to live here because there is never a b_97_ moment in a city like London. Im an art student and the busy life in a city does good to my painting. In addition, I can get everything I need so close at hand. Living beside the underground station means that I dont need a car to get around. It s _98_ me money. Also there are malls, cinemas, libraries and museums everywhere.Of course, London, like any large city, has p_99_, too. Londoners dont chat on the underground or the bus and there is much less community spirit than in the country, where my parents live. In fact, they dont understand how I can put up with (忍受) the noise and pollution, and traffic jams. However, I see that as a small price to p_100_. As a famous saying goes, “He who is tired of London is tired of life.”Hello! My name is Marianna and I live in Australia, on a huge ranch (牧场). Its a beautiful area with wonderful scenery. I live here with my husband Joe and our t_101_ children, Patrick, 11, and Abby, 8. We have lived on this ranch for several years and we love our healthy lifestyle. The children have lots of s_102_ to run around and enjoy the peace and quiet. The air is clean and fresh. We produce a lot of our own food which is nice and healthy. Theres lots of hard work to do running a ranch, but we dont mind.Of course, country life also has weak points. We feel isolated (孤立的) sometimes, too, especially since the n_103_ neighbors are almost 100km away. One more trouble is that we cant get many things as easily as we do in the city. There are no schools, supermarkets, or shops, and if we are ill we have to call the flying doctor. Although life here can be difficult, we wouldnt change it for the world.F.

I was just a young reporter and she was not only a popular singer but also a famous actress, starring in many movies.As soon as the door opened, however; and her slim figure appeared, I immediately relaxed. She looked great, with her kind brown eyes, her excellent black hair, and her beautiful smile. I looked for bags under her eyes, but there were none.
