My hometown is a village in Henan. Many years ago, it’s small but quiet. All my   (1)   /ˈrelətɪvz/ lived nearby. But we were too poor at that time. We had no TVs, no cars. We didn’t have any modern   (2)  (machine) to do farm work. So many people left for the city to find jobs. They hoped to   (3)   their life. Few people wanted to go back home.

But nowadays, the   (4)  /sɪtjʊ'eɪʃ(ə)n/ has changed rapidly. With the development of China, great changes have   (5)   (take) place in my hometown. More and more new factories are being built. We can work near our houses. Children go to new schools. The old can get good   (6)  care in the new hospital. We can relax in the park in our   (7)   time. The environment has also changed a lot. We can   (8)  （hard）find litters on the street. Many families use the Internet to do business. Our   (9)  (communicate) with the outside world is easy and quick.

Thanks to the   (10)  /ˈgʌvənmənt/, people in my hometown are having a rich life now. And we are sure our hometown will become better and better.

    Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important r  (1)  in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings c  (2)  with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

    Benjamin Franklin famously f  (3)   America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries a  (4)  the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.

    Carnegie believed that libraries could o  (5)   the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the m  (6)  people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news. 

    If you can easily find a public library in your c  (7)  , you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more i  (8)  and opportunities to ask for jobs online.

    Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story h  (9)  . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.

    Benjamin Franklin o  (10)  said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!

The Waste of Worry

Do you remember being afraid of monsters at night as a child? But as you grow up, you know that there are no monsters, right? We always have f    (1)   and worries about things that are not real. The crazy thing is that worry and fear make you r     (2)   from something that isnˈt even chasing you.

Englandˈs former Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, said that whenever he started to worry, heˈd remember a man who said on his death bed “I’ve had a lot of t  (3)       in my life — and most of it never h   (4)        !” You see, itˈs not work that kills people, but worry.

When you fear the future, you’re w ___(5)    the present. Worry seems like a rocking chair: it keeps   you going, but you don’t get anywhere! And if you canˈt help worrying, remember that worrying canˈt help you either .

If you’re fearful, you’ll find something to be fearful about. That’s whythe former American President, Franklin Roosevelt, said: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

Many of us are afraid of what others think; but if we knew howseldomthey think about us, we’d know we needn’t worry.

So whatever you’re afraid of or worrying about, ask yourself, “Is it real? And if it is real, howwill worrying about it help me? Is it something I can change? If not, how can I best deal with it?”

Where is the true home of hamburger?

The kind of beef we see in hamburgers , minced(切碎)beef, was possibly invented by Mongolians over 800 years ago. But who first put the beef between pieces of bread and called it a hamburger? Three different cities in the United States all say that they were the first to invent America’s favorite food.

Some people say that Fletcher Davis, from Athens, invented hamburgers. “Old Dave,” as people called him, was selling minced beef sandwiches in his lunch bar as early as the 1880s. Some years later, they say that a group of Germans called①his sandwich a “hamburger ” because people from the German city of Hamburger ate this kind of beef.

Other people believe that the hamburger came from a different American city.②coincidentally, its name was also Hamburg. The Menches brothers were selling pork sandwiches at a fair in 1885, but when there was no more pork, they used minced beef and gave it a new name, the “hamburger”.

The third possible inventor of the hamburger was Charlie Nagreen, also known as “Hamburger Charlie,” from Seymour. He said that in 1885 he invented the world’s first hamburgers. Seymour now celebrates the invention of the hamburger every year. In 1989, it was the home of the world’s largest ever burger—over 2,500kg!

There are three American cities in this passage. They are Athens,           And            .

When there was no more         at the1885 fair, the Menches brothers used minced beef         .

How often is the invention the hamburger celebrated in Seymour?                                             .
