1．　　A traveler came out of the airport, There were a lot of taxis He asked every taxi driver's name. Then he took the third one,
　　It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel.
　　"How much does it cost for the whole day?" The man asked, "100 dollars, " said the taxi driver. This was very expensive, but the man said it was OK,
　　The taxi driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel, The traveler gave the taxi driver 100 dollars and said, "What about tomorrow?It's another 100 dollars, "The man said, "That's OK!See you tomorrow.

3．　　Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
　　But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing?What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
　　This is the famous formula (公式) for success:
　　Dream> Believe> Achieve
　　Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
　　I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula;
　　Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve
　　For me, act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Actions (Act). If you say"I can't do it" and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, "I'll try" creates wonders. Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
　　Please remember:Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

4．　　Earthquake rescue (救援) robots experienced their final tests in Beijing, The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
　　This kind of robot is able to fly. It's about three meters long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped (困住) by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
　　Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, "The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a control from faraway paces. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes of, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour."
　　This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector (探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark, With its 10-meter-long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen (氧气) and water.
　　Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.

7．　　I was about six years old and in a class with kids of my age. The class was getting control. Our teacher (1)       tried several times to ask us to pay attention to the class finally gave up and agreed that we could have some free time. Everyone started playing games. However, I just sat (2)      (quiet)in my chair.
　　As parents started to arrive, our tired teacher handed the noisy children over to their parents with a half-hearted (冷淡的) smile. But when my mother (3)      (arrive), my teacher said with joy, "Your daughter is so amazing in class. She is such a nice little girl.
　　She used all the good words (4)       (describe) me. I got my first "nice". My young brain considered that I was great (5)       I was nice. And if I wanted to satisfy others, I would have to be nice.
　　As I grew older, l became much (6)      (good) at the art of being nice and I always tried to put others first. That's also one of the fastest ways to make friends. Over time, friends (7)      me began to expect niceness from me. They wanted me to do what I (8)      (tell) to Being nice became an excuse for not doing something I enjoyed or being someone I wanted to be. Finally, I realized that I had to make a few (9)       (change).
　　There' s no doubt that everyone wants to be liked. However, you don't have to satisfy others at the cost of allowing (10)       (they) to take advantage of you and your kindness. It's not selfish but a sign of self -respect(自尊心). It's helpful to let others know what your limits (底线) are. You can be both kind and self -respecting. This can also help you develop healthy and happy relationships with others.

8．　　We all have problems and barriers (障碍) that prevent us from moving into new areas. When meeting with a problem, someone turns away and gives up because he thinks it is too hard to solve it. Unluckily, soon they may get into another similar one. In this way, their lives stay inside the same old cycles, in which they are unlikely to make progress or keep learning.
　　While others deal with problems by loving them instead of hating them. The word "love" means accepting your problems. The more we deny (否定) a problem, the stronger it seems to become. Only when we accept the fact can we find the effective ways to deal with it.
　　Suppose one of your barriers (障碍) is taking a final exam. You fear you will forget everything that you have remembered. You may tell yourself I'm not going to be scared and then try to force a smile on your face.
　　However, loving your fear actually works better. You just need to say to yourself, "I'm scared. But I'm going to take it anyway, It is not just a problem; it's also a chance for me to fake progress." By that, you welcome your problem and face it in an active way, so it is possible that you succeed.
　　It is impossible to live a life without problems. Loving them doesn't mean hiding them. Instead, it means admitting(承认)the truth about them. This helps us take effective action. which can free us of the problem once and for all.
