We call the stories he wrote fables, as every story has a moral. Almost all the fables he wrote are _61_ (humor) and entertaining, appealing to people _62_ all ages. To date, Aesops fables _63_ (translate) into many languages and are known all over the world. Not only _64_ the fables themselves lived for nearly 1500 years, but _65_ (express) from them have entered various languages.One fable, for instance, is about a farmer who was driving his cart along a country road. The cart got _66_ (stick) in the mud, but the farmer made _67_ effort to get it out. Instead, he began to pray to the gods for help. The god Hercules finally appeared and told _68_ man to get busy and push _69_. “Push your shoulder to the wheel.” Hercules advised. The moral of the story is clear. We mustnt rely on others for help. Another saying which has e from the fable is “God helps those _70_ help themselves.”Passage 2When Jack was a small boy, he was once asked to give a speech about “A Big Challenge in My Life”. To talk before the whole class, he was 41 (terrible) shy the moment he thought of so many eyes 42 (stare) at him. He had no other 43 (choose), though. First Jack was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for him because he was a good writer. But the hard part 44 (lie) in his oral presentation, for it was not allowed to read from the paper. He had to give the speech 45 his memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began when Jack stood on the platform with his legs trembling and his mind blank. How much time had passed by, he didnt know. His listeners were still waiting patiently and without any signs of laughing. Gradually he found himself back, 46 (give) out his speech without much difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, he found the audience applauding. He made 47 ! From then on, his fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with his confidence 48 (build) up, Jack now turns out to be a great speaker. As we know, the greater difficulty we meet on our way to 49 (success), the 50 likely we will be to achieve our goals. Passage 3Hongbao, a red envelope containing small 61 of money, is a gift that 62 (guarantee) to be warmly received, not just because of the cash, but also because of its traditional symbolism and 63 (good) wishes for the future. The tradition has survived millennia(千年) and giving hongbao to children and 64 elderly remains popular among Chinese people all over the world. It has also made 65 way into workplaces where bosses often give employees hongbao, 66 (hope) their panies and staff members have a good start.

Some say homework is necessary since only practice 41 (make) perfect, while others disagree. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students. However, this might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework 42 necessary. Actually , only proper amount of homework in proper form is 43 ( accept); some homework may not only fail to help the students, but on 44 contrary bore them so much that they may lose their interest in studying. “Proper” homework, in my opinion, should 45 (vary) in its forms, 46 might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercise. And it should leave enough 47 (free) to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than 48 (drive) them. Only if a teacher 49 (keep) this 50 his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.Passage 5A farmer once organized a petition between his dog and his rabbit.

When there was no place in the whole field 47 (leave) to dig, the rabbit dug a tunnel right to 48 the dog had been lying all the time.
