    I got very tired after doing all the family shopping in the town. I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. I 1 a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to 2 at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, 3 the newspaper and the chocolate on the table and then went to get a cup of 4.

    When I came back with the coffee, a boy was sitting in the next seat and he had started to eat my chocolate!

    Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn't want to have any 5. I just read the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 6. Then he took a second piece. I could hardly believe it and then I ate the last piece.

    The boy gave me a strange look, then 7 up. As he left, he shouted out. "There's something 8 with that woman!" Everyone 9 me, but I didn't want to quarrel with him, I kept quiet. I didn't realize that I had made a mistake until I finished my coffee and was ready to 10. My face turned red when I saw my unopened chocolate under the newspaper. The chocolate that I had been eating was the boy's!

    At the end of the wedding party for Monica and Nick, Monica's mother gave her a new bank saving passbook (存折) as a present. She advised her to put some money in the bank when they had happy things in their life and wrote them down in the passbook. She told her to keep it as a record of her marriage.

    Monica shared her mother's idea with Nick. The following were their deposits (存款) after some time: 7 February: $300, first birthday celebration for Nick after we got married; 15 April: $500, Monica got a better job;…

    However, after years, they began to quarrel every day. One day Monica told her mother that they could not live together any longer and agreed to divorce. Her mother said, "Just do whatever you want to do. But before that, take out all the money in the passbook and spend it."

    So Monica went to the bank. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. Suddenly the happiness in the past came up to her mind. She went back home, handed the passbook to Nick and asked him to spend the money before getting divorced.

    The next day, Nick gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new deposit of $5,000 with the words, "This is the day I notice how much I love you and how much happiness you've brought me."

    Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the most famous and most successful children's book writers around the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.

    In 1954, Life magazine published a report about school children who could not read well. The report said many children's books were not interesting at all. Doctor Seuss read it and strongly wanted to help the children and decided to write books that were full of fun and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like bike and like. He did not receive any training in art. However, he drew wonderful pictures for most of his books.

    In 1957, Doctor Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a 6-year-old kid could read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it very much. Their parents loved it as well. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him really want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.

    In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize. He was honoured for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents. He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold all over the world. People say his books helped change the way American children learnt to read. Up till now, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, "I do not write for children. I write for people."

    What do you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

    Body signals

    Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side

    Smoke signals

    The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

    Ground-to-air signals

    It's a good idea to build some signals too. Use large pieces of wood to make marks. If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful marks are:

F  "I need food and water."

Ⅱ  "I need medicine."

Ⅰ  "I am badly hurt."

X  "I am unable to move from here."

Pilot's replies

    If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilot flies the planes in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.) However, there is no signal which means "message not received".

    The 2017 Fortune Global Forum (财富全球论坛) was held in Guangzhou from December 6 to 8, 2017 for the first time with the theme of "Openness and Innovation: Shaping the Global Economy". This is the fifth Fortune Global Forum held in China. Since its beginning in 1995, the Fortune Global Forum has been providing chances for CEOs of the world's most important companies and world leaders to get together and discuss matters about international business.

    There are several reasons why Guangzhou was chosen as the host city for the 2017 Fortune Global Forum. First, Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province which is historically an active centre for free trade. Guangdong Province is also the most populous (人口稠密的) province in China with a population of 110 million, bigger than that of any other province in China. What's more, more than half of the Fortune Global 500 companies have already set up branch offices (分公司) in Guangzhou.

    Hosting the 2017 Fortune Global Forum also brings benefits to Guangzhou. First, it will help change the city into a high-level technology centre in the future. Moreover, it will attract more companies to invest and develop in Guangzhou and Guangzhou can take the chance to encourage local companies to go global and deepen cooperation with companies from all over the world.

    Great effort was made in order to make the event a success. For example, a total of 1,200 volunteers were chosen mostly from universities to serve the 2017 Fortune Global Forum. Training courses were also carried out to prepare volunteers for their jobs. They even had a volunteer's song. The lyrics and music of the song was written by the famous lyricist Zhong Shan and composer Wang Xiaosong. The official version of the song was sung by famous singers Wang Chenrui and Wang Sulong.

    I'm a teacher. My students can always make me feel happy. It was near Christmas during my        (one) term teaching at a new school. Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child        (bring) a Christmas gift. In fact, I loved the children        enjoyed teaching, so I wasn't expecting any gifts.

    Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I        (get) a toy monkey from a shy girl. I was told, "He is my favourite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor."        happy I was!

    Next came a Dew set of Christmas tree lights that was "missing" from a mother's cupboard.

    Finally, I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received. It was        old，dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just when I wanted to express my happiness, I        (stop) by the giver, "And see, it is new! It still has the price tag."

    When other children laughed at him, I stopped        (they) and said, "Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, let's share one together. "Everyone listened        (quiet) because I read the most wonderful Christmas Story of my life.

    I have kept those Christmas gifts since then. They always remind me        my lovely kids.
