The song called “I Believe I Can Fly” has meant the most to me since I was at the age of three. I chose this song because it   (1)   me that as long as I believe, I can be or do everything I want in life even I was   (2)  . I didn’t know much of what the song   (3)   a long time ago but as I grew older, I still   (4)   the song and started to listen to the words more and more. Every time I listen to it, I think about all the   (5)   I have overcome.

When I was little, I had to use a wheelchair   (6)   there was something wrong with my   (7)   . The doctor said I had little chance of ever   (8)   but I was determined to walk. I knew I had to believe in myself to   (9)   my goal to walk someday.

One day the doctor told my mother that he could   (10)   an operation that would help me walk. So when I was three, I had my first surgery. I was a very   (11)   kid so being in a bed for six weeks，not being able to   (12)  , I felt terrible. I knew after all the   (13)   and the crying would be worth.   (14)    , at the age of four, I felt free when I   (15)   the trouble and learned how to walk.

The song says，“I see me running through that open door.” Thatˈs what I   (16)   like；I believed I could fly just like the song says. I’ve depend   (17)   the arms of my parents and I’ve always known I had to be   (18)   and it started inside of me.  Iˈve always   (19)   I can touch the sky. I still have more difficulties to face, but I will   (20)   believe I can fly, as long as I believe.

There is an old story that always brings a smile to my face. One day a man was walking down the street when he saw his friend crawling (爬行) around  (1)  something.“What are you doing on the   (2)  ？”the man asked his friend. His friend said, “I   (3)  my key.” The man felt sorry for his friend and got down to  (4)  . After a long time of searching without  (5)  ，the man asked his friend where he probably lost his key. The friend replied, “Probably in my house.” Feeling   (6)  ，the man asked why he was searching on the street then. His friend said, “Because there is more   (7)  here.”

Though it sounds  (8)  ，it is what a lot of people   (9)  . They want to know the  (10)   of their lives. They want to  (11)   the secret to their own happiness.   (12)  ，they look everywhere except the inside of themselves. Perhaps they think it is too dark and  (13)  to look within for the  (14)  . They keep looking on the outside instead because they think the light is better there.

The  (15)  is if they are willing to look within, they will find a light far brighter than any on the  (16)  . They will find the glow (发光) of their own hearts that has been patiently waiting for their   (17)  . They will find a beautiful fire that will  (18)   their hearts and that they can give to everyone everywhere.

Don’t be  (19)   to look on the inside. The light on the outside is not as bright as the loving light that  (20)   from your own heart. That is the light that will guide you to a joyous life.

The 1990s saw great changes in the way people communicate. People could send mail without going to the   (1)  , and go shopping without leaving home.   (2)   like email and download became part of people’s vocabulary. The cause of this great change was the   (3)  .

The idea for the Internet began in the early 1960s in   (4)  . The Department of Defense (美国国防部) wanted to   (5)   their computers together in order to   (6)   private information. In 1969, the ARPA net(an early form of the Internet) first connected the   (7)   at four American universities. One computer successfully   (8)   information to another. In 1972, scientists shared ARPA net   (9)   the world. They created a   (10)   to send person-to-person messages using ARPA net. This was the   (11)   of email.

Over the next few years, there was a lot of progress made in the world of computing,   (12)   most people were not using the Internet. Then, in the 1980s, personal computers became more   (13)  . In the early 1990s,   (14)   important things happened:the birth of the World Wide Web in 1991, and the creation of the   (15)   Web browser（浏览器）in 1993.The web made it   (16)   to find information on the Internet, and to move from place to place   (17)   links. The Web and browser made it possible to see information as a website with pictures, sound, and words.

Today,   (18)   of people connect to the Internet to send email, visit websites, or store information on servers.   (19)   are now an important part of our lives and are changing   (20)   we learn, work, shop, and communicate.

As we all know nowadays, English , which was only spoken by people living in Britain    (1)   the 16^th century, began to be spoken in many other countries from the next century with the English colonists（殖民者） making voyages to conquer other places all over the world.   (2)   that, a large   (3)   of countries speak English   (4)   their first language, such as the U.S., Canada, Australia.   (5)  people in many more countries have a good command of English and speak   (6)   fluently as a foreign or   (7)   language   (8)    ever before.
     Although there are   (9)   kinds of English in the world, the    (10)   speakers can have almost no   (11)   in communication with each other   (12)   they don’t make   (13)    of the same kind of English. However, sometimes they do have some difficulty in   (14)    and understanding each other’s words, dialects , pronunciation and   (15)  .
     English is an all-the-time changing   (16)   , for example, the English of AD 450 to 1150, which was  (17)  on German, was quite different from the English spoken at   (18)   .     (19)    to Shakespeare’s efforts, English had a big change in usage. American English got its own identity with the   (20)   of Noah Webster.

People in theUSthought Ebola was only a disease, accompanied with fever and found inAfricaat the beginning.  (1)  then a man from west Africa died from Ebola at a hospital in Dallas, Texas. And two nurses   (2)   for him became infected(感染) with the virus, which made the US government publish new guidelines to   (3)   health workers．

Top American  (4)  have repeatedly said that most people have little chance of being infected．Experts have  (5)   that Ebola can only be spread through infected person’s body fluids — like blood．But it   (6)   many Americans are  (7)  what they have heard．

Thomas Frieden heads the U.S．Centers for Disease Control and Prevention．When asked whether   (13)   officials had considered a travel ban, Mr．Frieden had  (14)    to say：“We won’t be able to check travelers for   (15)  when they leave or when they arrive. We won’t be able, as we do   (16)  , to take a detailed history to see if they were   (17)   when they arrive. When they   (18)   , we wouldn’t be able to impose quarantine（强加隔离）as we now can if they have high-risk touch.”

Few days ago, I went to school with tons of books, hoping to get a locker. All of a sudden, it started raining  (1)  . I hurried to pay for my locker, but I was disappointed  (2)  they informed me that they only accepted cash. I was $7. 00  (3)  , which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting two-hour  (4)  back home with all those books.

There was an elderly gentleman nearby.   (5)  my predicament (困境) , he asked me how much cash I needed. When I told him I needed $7, he quickly took out the money. “You don’t have to pay me back,” he said. I was  (6)  ; I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my  (7)  . “He is really nice,” said the student, “I was starving this morning and he bought  (8)  for me. He always helps people in different ways.”   (9)  thinking for a while, I took the money and  (10)  my locker.

The next day, I went to him and thanked him for  (11)  me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and did not  (12)  that I would give it back. “I am very happy,” he said, “not because I am getting my money back,   (13)  because this is the right way to go whatever you get   (14)  this world, give it back as much as you can. Spread kindness around the world  (15)  the smallest things you can do.”

Later, I found out that he was not involved with any charity   (16)  . He has been performing these types of  (17)  for years. I desperately needed the locker that day but after meeting this man, I was much more  (18)  for meeting him than getting my locker. He taught me a very important  (19)  in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own, it   (20)  someone else and whatever we leave, it will become somebody else’s.
