An American and a Frenchman decided to cross the sea

between France and England in the balloon in 1784．High

1．_________

over the water, they discover a hole in the balloon．The

2．_________

hole became bigger and bigger．The air keeps the

3．_________

balloon up was escaping quickly and the balloon was

4．_________

coming up．The two men threw all their equipment into

5．_________

the water to make the balloon light．It stared to rise

6．_________

higher again．So it was still too close to the water．

7．_________

Finally, the men threw away most of his clothes to

8．_________

save themselves．The crowd waiting for to greet them in

9．_________

England was very surprised see this when the balloon landed in front of them．

10．_________

We were late as usual．My husband had insisted on watering

the flowers in the garden by himself．When we

1．_________

realized how he couldn’t manage, he asked me for help．

2．_________

But now we had only an hour to get to the airport．Luckily,

3．_________

there were not many more cars or buses on the road and we

4．_________

were able to get here just in time．We checked in and went

5．_________

straight to the big hall to wait for our flight called, but no

6．_________

announcement is made．A girl there told us the plane hadn’t

7．_________

come yet．In the end, there came an announcement told

8．_________

us that the passengers waiting for Flight LJ108 could get the

9．_________

free meal and voucher(凭单)and that the plane hadn’t left

10．_________

London for some technical problems．

Ten years ago, I had worked as a night guard

1．_________

in a factory．On a rainy night, all the lights of factory

2．_________

went out all of a sudden．I rushed out but could

3．_________

see nothing．Lucky for me, the warning system was

4．_________

directly connected with the police station．Three and

5．_________

four minutes late, four police cars arrived at

6．_________

the front gate．They searched for the factory

7．_________

carefully, tried to find something unusual．In the

8．_________

end, I am told that the rain had brought about

9．_________

the short circuit, that caused the accident．

Dear John,

Last summer I take a part-time job in the International

1．_________

Camp for children．I have been told one more worker

2．_________

will be needed this year and I think you are fit it．How

3．_________

about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill

4．_________

close to a river．It is so a beautiful place! We can hear

5．_________

birds singing happy all around．Everybody sleeps in

6．_________

tents, that is very exciting．We usually work only five

7．_________

hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time visit the

8．_________

area and have a fun．I am sure it will be an unforgettable

9．_________

experience．If you have interests in it, reply to me soon．

10．_________

When I first learned to write in English, I ran into many

1．_________

difficulties．The main problem was in that I always thought

2．_________

in Chinese and tired to translate anything into English．

3．_________

My teacher advised me to keep my diary．I followed her

4．_________

advise and should put down 100 words or so each day．

5．_________

Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was

6．_________

learning to express me in simple English．One day I wrote

7．_________

a little story and showed to my teacher．She liked it

8．_________

very much and reads it to the class．All said the story was

9．_________

a good one．Their word were a great encouragement to me．

10．_________

We had guests last night who have not stayed

1．_________

in a B＆B hotel ago．They did not want breakfast

2．_________

because that they were going out early in the

3．_________

morning．They came back lately and had some

4．_________

tea．I came into the living room and saw one of

5．_________

them just go through the kitchen door but turn

6．_________

on the light．He was looking for a glass the

7．_________

cupboard．He had no ideas that the kitchen was

8．_________

not for guests．I just smiled to me and thought,

9．_________

“What can I do? We are guests after all．”
