1. Life Is Full of the Unexpected In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8: 30 a.m. I was about (1) (go) up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a (2) (aloud) sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what (3) (go) on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in (4) (disbelieve) at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.
(5) (almost) 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm (6) (have) gone off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off. "This is the (7) (one) holiday I have taken in a year, and now I have missed my plane. What bad (8) (luck)!"

2. Save the Sharks!
Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in (1) (south) China. But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also (2) (harm) to the environment. (3) (with) a fin, a shark can no longer swim and (4) (slow) dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the (5) (ocean) ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be (6) (danger) because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks (7) (fall) by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
Environmental (8) (protect) groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about "finning". They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the (9) (sell) of shark fins. So far, no (10) (science) studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them Help save the sharks!

From Shy Girl to Pop Star
For this month's Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be (1) (real) shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared (2) (sing) in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she (3) (be) shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.
I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people. "I didn't use to be popular, but now I get (4) (ton) of attention everywhere I go." However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. "I always have to (5) (worry) about how I appear to others, and I have to be very (6) (carefully) about what I say or do. And I don't have much private time anymore. (7) (hang) out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me."
What does Candy have to say to all (8) (that) young people who want to become famous "Well," she begins slowly, "you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to (9) (succeed) is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I (10) (fight) on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top."

Do you know how you get your name What does your name mean In fact, when naming a child, there are different (1) (tradition) in different places.
For many Europeans, names are typically (2) (choose) by parents. Parents' choice for the child's name may base (根据) on names of their relatives.
