(2024·江苏南京·二模)I do believe that everyone is given a chance in life. My son, Gary, was given his chance with cooking.
We ran a small restaurant and lived over it. From a very early age, Gary would come down and talk to our customers. It has 1 a good start in his life. By the age of ten, Gary was in the 2 every weekend, so he always made some pocket money. He also had a lot of self-discipline (自律). He used to 3 even before me in the morning. If you run a family business, it was nice to see him helping out.
Gary wasn’t so good at schoolwork, but he 4 so much in the kitchen. By the age of 15, he was 5 any of the cooks working there, and sometimes he was even left in charge of (负责) the kitchen. He would produce over a hundred meals, and from then on I knew he would go into catering (餐饮业) because he had that talent. So when he came to me and said, “Dad, I’m required to complete work 6 as part of my course at school.” I sent him to a friend of mine who has got a restaurant. I believe he could learn more outside.
Recently Gary became interested in playing the drums and now he has his own band. Who knows what will happen to the cooking 7 the music takes off? My advice to Gary would be: if you start hunting two rabbits, you end up catching 8 so hunt the rabbit you know you’re going to catch. He understood when I said to him, “Gary, if you’re going to get anywhere in life, you’ve got to do it by the age of 30. If you haven’t done it by then, it’s too 9 . ”
None of us can believe that Gary’s TV cookery series has become such a great success.
I’m really 10 him. I’ve always tried to tell him that if you want something, you’ve got to work hard for it, because nobody gives you anything. He has seen the chance he has been given and caught hold of it with both hands.

The other day our English teacher asked us to read an article in the textbook called “Stonehenge—Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?” While reading, I couldn’t stop thinking of my 11 of Stonehenge last summer when my family went to the UK. It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.
Stonehenge is a 12 stone group made up of a large number of heavy stones. It is said that they were put together almost 5,000 years ago. It took us about two hours to get there from London by bus.
When we 13 there at about 10 a.m., visitors of all ages had already begun their trips. I could not wait to join them. Some men 14 uniforms guided us to walk along the paths around the large stone monuments (石碑). Walking along them, I felt like stepping back 5,000 years. I 15 each stone might weigh several tons. Looking at them in amazement, I wanted to know how ancient people could make those large stones stand without the help of modern 16 . Questions came into my mind: Why did they build Stonehenge? How long did it take them to build it? I could not 17 how many people worked together to build these monuments. The true purpose of building Stonehenge may remain a mystery. But its 18 to attract and encourage people has lasted for thousands of years. Without great teamwork, Stonehenge would never have been built.
As we stopped to take pictures, I saw a blonde girl 19 the stone monuments. She was getting inspiration (灵感) from them for her artwork.
Stonehenge is a very great place that has amazed people from all over the world for 20 . If you ever get the chance to visit England, take the time to see the great stone monuments for yourself.

Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac sign, each one represented by an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes, and each year is represented by a 21 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 22 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.
However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to 23 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 24 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 25 .
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 26 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 27 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Some people wonder 28 the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t 29 the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 30 in our daily lives.
The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about!

“We’re brave 34 , remember, ” said Rossi, holding Gaspar’s flippers (脚蹼). “We will find a way. ”

But I don’t freeze 43 in Finland, because all the buildings are so well heated. I freeze more in Scotland than I do here.

Vishal: That’s funny! In India, people don’t do that!
Joseph: Well, another thing that can be funny is Finnish food. One day, soon after getting to Finland, I felt like having something sweet. I went into the comer shop and I saw that there were freshly baked doughnuts on the bread counter. “Excellent!” I thought, and I chose a big doughnut to sink my teeth into. But imagine my 49 when I discovered that it was filled with meat!

(2024·江苏南京·二模)I do believe that everyone is given a chance in life. My son, Gary, was given his chance with cooking.
We ran a small restaurant and lived over it. From a very early age, Gary would come down and talk to our customers. It has 1 a good start in his life. By the age of ten, Gary was in the 2 every weekend, so he always made some pocket money. He also had a lot of self-discipline (自律). He used to 3 even before me in the morning. If you run a family business, it was nice to see him helping out.
Gary wasn’t so good at schoolwork, but he 4 so much in the kitchen. By the age of 15, he was 5 any of the cooks working there, and sometimes he was even left in charge of (负责) the kitchen. He would produce over a hundred meals, and from then on I knew he would go into catering (餐饮业) because he had that talent. So when he came to me and said, “Dad, I’m required to complete work 6 as part of my course at school.” I sent him to a friend of mine who has got a restaurant. I believe he could learn more outside.
Recently Gary became interested in playing the drums and now he has his own band. Who knows what will happen to the cooking 7 the music takes off? My advice to Gary would be: if you start hunting two rabbits, you end up catching 8 so hunt the rabbit you know you’re going to catch. He understood when I said to him, “Gary, if you’re going to get anywhere in life, you’ve got to do it by the age of 30. If you haven’t done it by then, it’s too 9 . ”
None of us can believe that Gary’s TV cookery series has become such a great success.
I’m really 10 him. I’ve always tried to tell him that if you want something, you’ve got to work hard for it, because nobody gives you anything. He has seen the chance he has been given and caught hold of it with both hands.

The other day our English teacher asked us to read an article in the textbook called “Stonehenge—Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?” While reading, I couldn’t stop thinking of my 11 of Stonehenge last summer when my family went to the UK. It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.
Stonehenge is a 12 stone group made up of a large number of heavy stones. It is said that they were put together almost 5,000 years ago. It took us about two hours to get there from London by bus.
When we 13 there at about 10 a.m., visitors of all ages had already begun their trips. I could not wait to join them. Some men 14 uniforms guided us to walk along the paths around the large stone monuments (石碑). Walking along them, I felt like stepping back 5,000 years. I 15 each stone might weigh several tons. Looking at them in amazement, I wanted to know how ancient people could make those large stones stand without the help of modern 16 . Questions came into my mind: Why did they build Stonehenge? How long did it take them to build it? I could not 17 how many people worked together to build these monuments. The true purpose of building Stonehenge may remain a mystery. But its 18 to attract and encourage people has lasted for thousands of years. Without great teamwork, Stonehenge would never have been built.
As we stopped to take pictures, I saw a blonde girl 19 the stone monuments. She was getting inspiration (灵感) from them for her artwork.
Stonehenge is a very great place that has amazed people from all over the world for 20 . If you ever get the chance to visit England, take the time to see the great stone monuments for yourself.

Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac sign, each one represented by an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes, and each year is represented by a 21 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 22 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.
However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to 23 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 24 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 25 .
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 26 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 27 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Some people wonder 28 the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t 29 the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 30 in our daily lives.
The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about!

Joseph: Well, another thing that can be funny is Finnish food. One day, soon after getting to Finland, I felt like having something sweet. I went into the comer shop and I saw that there were freshly baked doughnuts on the bread counter. “Excellent!” I thought, and I chose a big doughnut to sink my teeth into. But imagine my 49 when I discovered that it was filled with meat!
