Passage 3
Last Christmas, I volunteered for WNWNB, a charity which takes surplus (剩余的) produce from New Covent Garden Market and 1 it to the local community.
The food was already in containers. So we set up the stand and got ready to distribute some Christmas 2 . At first, it was 3 . People seemed a bit suspicious of taking food for free. But they gradually 4 us and we had a fun afternoon singing carols and trying to 5 passersby to take our food.
It was then time to deliver meals to those who weren’t able to come. This is 6 things changed for me. The first door I knocked on was 7 by a woman in her 30s. She had children and looked absolutely worn out. I told her I was from WNWNB and gave her the 8 meals. It was probably only about two days’ worth of food but, the way she 9 , I felt as if I was handing her gold.
I had similar responses to my next 10 . In some cases, when people were elderly or alone, I’d go into their homes and have a brief 11 before heading off. Many felt 12 , but I saw how happy they were to have another adult human to 13 .
As a local politician I knock on doors and talk to people a lot, but there was something deeper about those 14 on Christmas Day. I finished my day at WNWNB a slightly different person from the one who 15 .

Passage 4
As a writer, I miss rejection slips. Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of paper, but at least when I got one, I was pretty sure that a flesh-and-blood 1 had put it in the envelope. And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom, 2 the piece almost made it. When an editor at Me Call’s wrote, “ I’m afraid I have to say no on this 3 piece, but try me again on another, would you ?”, it was almost as 4 to me as if she had said, “We’ll 5 it and here is an advance for you.”.
Nowadays, rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions. Most editors don’t feel it a must to 6 they have received, read, or considered your work because they receive so many 7 each day.
For me, there are three 8 of rejection slip pain. The first is 9 brought on by finding a flat “no” on a 10 piece of paper, then followed by anger (how could they 11 a piece that is obviously so much 12 than most of the stuff they print), and, finally, rebirth: I will live to 13 a new piece another day.
Learning to 14 rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer. Despite the many letters of acceptance I have received, my folder of “ Noteworthy Rejection Slips “is far 15 than that of “Noteworthy Acceptances”, which indicates to me the fact: I still have some growing up to do.

Passage 5
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. Unable to 1 my curiosity any longer, I 2 it open. It was a brand- new laptop. I had scored straight As for my examinations and this was my 3 .
Soon I became 4 to my new- found electronic friend. I began to spend increasing time on it and was 5 to the glowing screen before me. During weekends, I could 6 spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to 7 myself in my room, refusing to come out and engage in family 8 . I preferred to stay connected to the people I befriended in cyberspace (网络空间) although I had never met them. Gradually, my sleep was 9 to only scattered naps, and my grades at school also began 10 .
It was about this time that my parents started 11 their disapproval. I was asked to reduce my usage of the internet. Yet, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away and concentrate on my lessons. I was 12 for just another click and another look at my message board. Then one day, my father 13 my laptop. I complained but in vain.
Over time, I realized that Dad and Mom had always wanted the best for me. That was when I decided to take the big step — to 14 my internet addiction. Quitting was harder than I expected.
But with dogged determination, I knew that I would 15 a new leaf.

Passage 6
Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth. My friends shouted in excitement, while I shakily 1 my hands on my shorts. “How can you be so excited when...”
My words caught in my throat and melted into screams as the roller coaster suddenly 2 forward. It was the fastest 3 I had ever experienced in my life: 128 miles per hour. I screamed at the top of my 4 as fear froze me up from inside. We rapidly moved up the skinny hump (驼峰) rising into the clouds at a ninety degree angle, having crossed the track bringing us forward in mere 5 .
6 , close to the highest part of the hump, I 7 a little. My screams became less terrified and more energetic. Once we reached the 8 of the hump, I could almost touch the sky.
And then we were spiraling (盘旋) downwards, curving and twisting and 9 towards Earth at the same speed. 10 I realized it, we had already met the ground. It was a thirty - second - long ride. I managed to 11 the entire ride without a breakdown.
I gasped in surprise. It was over. I had not only survived the ride—I had 12 it. My friend turned to me, her eyes 13 . “Are you ready for the next roller coaster?”
My head felt light as we walked away from the ride spinning with something I didn’t 14 recognize. It took me a few minutes to put a name to it — thrill. “I’m ready for anything.”
Until today, that 15 ride that I went on 20 years ago is still kept alive in my memory.

Passage 4
As a writer, I miss rejection slips. Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of paper, but at least when I got one, I was pretty sure that a flesh-and-blood 1 had put it in the envelope. And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom, 2 the piece almost made it. When an editor at Me Call’s wrote, “ I’m afraid I have to say no on this 3 piece, but try me again on another, would you ?”, it was almost as 4 to me as if she had said, “We’ll 5 it and here is an advance for you.”.
Nowadays, rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions. Most editors don’t feel it a must to 6 they have received, read, or considered your work because they receive so many 7 each day.
For me, there are three 8 of rejection slip pain. The first is 9 brought on by finding a flat “no” on a 10 piece of paper, then followed by anger (how could they 11 a piece that is obviously so much 12 than most of the stuff they print), and, finally, rebirth: I will live to 13 a new piece another day.
Learning to 14 rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer. Despite the many letters of acceptance I have received, my folder of “ Noteworthy Rejection Slips “is far 15 than that of “Noteworthy Acceptances”, which indicates to me the fact: I still have some growing up to do.
