阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

I was in the ninth year when I began to suffer depression. My parents noticed but felt that since I’d always been a good child, this was temporary.

____61____ (fortunate), it was not to be so. I didn’t have friends. Hardly could I share my problems. Deep worry began to destroy my confidence. Finally I refused to attend classes, ___62___(shut) myself in my room for hours.

The examination was approaching, but I simply didn’t care. My parents and teachers were surprised   63   my bad performance. One morning, after ___64___ particularly severe lecture from my father, I stood at the school gate, _____65___ (depress). Then as the other students marched to their classrooms, our headmaster called me. The next forty-five minutes was one of  ____66____ (precious) moments in my life. She said she ___67____ (notice) a big change in me and wondered why. At first she took my hands in ____68_____ and listened patiently as I mentioned my worries. Then she hugged me as I wept. Months of frustration and ____69___ (lonely) disappeared in her motherly hug.

No one had tried to understand ___70___ the real problem was except the headmaster, who helped me out simply by listening and hugging.

Yangshuo , China

It was raining lightly when I  61     (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn’t care. A few hours  62    , I’d been at home in Hong Kong, with  63      (it) choking smog（烟雾）. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.

I’d skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River  64        are pictured by artists in so many Chinese  65      

(painting). Instead, I’d headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it’s only an hour away   66       car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.

Yangshuo  67       (be) really beautiful. A study of travelers  68       (ｍａｋｅ) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says it  69          (regular) arranges（安排） quick getaways here for people  70      (live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

To whom it may concern,

I’ve learned that an art exhibition is to be held and that you’re collecting  61   (suggest) on its location. I’m writing this letter to share with you   62   opinions.

In my opinion, it is   63   (advisable) to hold the art exhibition in Shanghai Museum than in community libraries. My reasons are as follows:

On one hand, it is more convenient for people to get to Shanghai Museum which  64   （be）in the center of the city. And the museum is much more spacious than community libraries,   65   provides visitors with a more comfortable environment for   66   (appreciate) art.

On the  67  hand, as a well-known museum, Shanghai Museum is more   68   (profession) and experienced in holding art exhibitions. Its professional security guards and advanced facilities can better protect those famous paintings   69   being damaged or stolen.

Therefore, I suggest the exhibition   70   (hold) in the museum.

Yours sincerely,                                                              Wang Min
