I felt   (1)  （luck） to have won a place to go on a cultural tour to sites of lost civilizations．We visited Pompeii in Italy and Loulan in China．Pompei   (2)  （found） in the 8th century BC，then taken  (3)  by the Romans in 89 BC．Later，Pompei was destroyed by a volcano．It erupted and covered Pompei with ash．  (4)  （fortunate），many people were buried alive．The city was forgotten for many years until the 18th century when a stone with writing on it was discovered by a farmer．People started to dig in the area  (5)   treasure and caused much damage．Thus，in 1860，the area was governed by the government so   (6)  could be preserved and studied．

Differently，Loulan disappeared under the sand．There were just a few   (7)  （ruin） left．There was  (8)   ancient water system   (9)  （run） through the middle of the city．The desert was once a green with huge trees，but they were cut down，  (10)   resulted in the city being buried by sand．

They were both important commercial cities about 2，000years ago．It was a pity that they disappeared for ever．

Many years ago, Manhattan Island, which is a part of the great city of New York, was covered with forest. Along  (1)  (it) shores were small Indian villages. In fact, Indians were the only people on the island until 1609.   (2)   the spring of that year, Henry Hudson, a famous sea captain, arrived there. He was trying   (3)  (find) a short way to the Far East for Dutch traders. His ship was very small. It was only about the size of one of the   (4)  (lifeboat) you see on modern ocean liners today. Of course, Henry Hudson did not find a shorter way to the Far East. Instead he reached the shores of North America. He came to the mouth of the large waterway now  (5)  (call) the Hudson River.

As he came near to the shore, he saw   (6)  Indian village. The Indians seemed  (7)  (friend). They even came out to meet the ship and   (8)  (offer) their furs to the Dutch sailor in exchange for glass beads and other small things.  (9)   Henry Hudson returned to Holland, he showed everyone the fine furs. He told of the rich soil, and the streams  (10)  is filled with fish. Later Dutch traders began to send many ships to the rich new world across the sea.

   I was at the store yesterday and bought some lovely flowers. One bunch was for me, one bunch was  (1)  (thank) a friend for welcoming me into the community where I am living now, and the third was for a stranger. I left the store, bought some beautiful wrapping paper, and   (2)  
 (wrap) two of the bunches.   (3)   I got through the mall, I saw a lovely old couple walking
  (4)   the opposite direction hand in hand. I noticed on the lady's suit the words   (5)  (be) "school cleaner", so I walked to her and presented her with one of the   (6)   (bunch) of flowers.

   I said, "These are for you, have a wonderful day!" The couple expressed their thanks. I smiled and kept   (7)   (move) on. I did glance back for a moment only to see her filled with joy looking at the flowers and smiling   (8)   (happy) with her husband. I felt so happy! What a lovely day it was. It is so   (9)   (wonder) to give something daily. Great for you and the recipient. I believed that I made her afternoon more colorful. Have   (10)   beautiful day!

Last October, while tending her garden in Mora, Sweden, Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small   (1)  (carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer, and she noticed a   (2)  (shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.

Pahlsson screamed   (3)  loudly that her daughter came running from the house. “She thought I had hurt   (4)  (I),” says Pahlsson.

Sixteen years   (5)  (early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring   (6)  (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters – then ten, eight, and six – had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn’t. Pahlsson and her husband   (7)  (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. “I gave up hope of finding my ring again,” she says. She never replaced it.

    Pahlsson and her husbands now think the ring probably got   (8)  (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden,   (9)  it remained until the carrot’s leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was  (10)  wonder.

We want everyone to respect us. Do we respect everyone around us? The answer is a big NO! We don’t   (1)  we think is better than us, we don’t respect poor and old people, and we don’t respect who we feel is less better  (2) us.  So how can we win respect? The easiest way  (3)  (gain) respect is by giving respect.

 Winning respect might be difficult but not impossible. Don’t use bad language. Being  (4)  (help) and listening to someone are a sign of giving respect and  (5)  (win) respect as well. With patience and practice, you can get any kind of virtue.

Flowers are the main  (6) (attract) of any type of decoration and in the same way respect is the beauty of life. Life is terrible  (7) respect. Just think whenever you go to a party, everyone there is not treated equally. Do you know why? Because of  (8)  (they) manners.

 Why are we not treated sometimes as  (9) (expect)? Because we do the same to others who have expectations from us. Relationship can be healthy if we never cross the walls of respect.

Is "sorry" the hardest word? Not for the British man Michael Gove,  (1)   has apologized recently to his former French teacher   (2)   his bad behaviors in class. It took him 30 years to express regret. In a letter   (3)   (publish) in a magazine, Mr. Gove says: “1t may be too late to say I'm sorry. But, as my mom told me, it's never too late to set the record straight.”

Researchers argue that people have too high expectations of the power of saying sorry. Some psychologists say in a study that   (4)  (receive) an apology isn't as   (5)   (help) as people think. Nevertheless, apologies might be an important social tool as they reaffirm (重新确认) the  (6)     (exist) of rules that need to be observed.

The man's apology might have been accepted by his old teacher but he might get   (7)   (he) into trouble. According to the Daily Mail, Mr. Gove's mother didn't know her son was causing trouble at school and she  (8)   (say) : “He would have been punished  (9)   I had known he was being so naughty. ” Later, Gove said: “I can never express my apology to him face to face these days---it just goes through to his answering machine.  But when I do   (10)  (eventual) speak to him, I will tell him a good sorry.”
