When I went home yesterday evening, I saw a little cat laying in the middle of the road. It seemed very hunger and it was also in greatly danger, because there were many cars, buses, and trucks on the road. I showed my sad to it and asked my mother whether I could bring it home as soon as I arrive home. While she was afraid that the cat was dirty, but she agreed. However, when I got out, the poor little thing was not here. I was told that it had taken by a warm-hearted person. I breathed a sigh of relief. It is known to us all, animals are our good friends and we should care more about it.
Good evening, everyone! It is my honor to be here to share something with you. Today my topic is “Stop 1.(choose) merit students(优秀生)”.
There is no doubt 2. choosing merit students may inspire some students to learn from those models, which make many parents happy, for they always attach great importance to their education. However, this way has its 3. (weak). As we know, the students are still young, and choosing merit students may be 4.
(harm) to their mental health by sorting them into good students and bad students. So it
5.(obvious) doesn’t benefit them in health. At the same time, teachers are always 6.(drown) in teaching, thus ignoring their virtue and PE, which does more harm 7. good to the growth of students.
As a matter of fact, what is more important is that we should take measures to enter their minds to find 8. they are thinking and desiring. Only in this way can we really find an effective method 9.(guide) them at school. Everyone may have a balanced 10.(develop).
That’s all.
Thank you for listening!

There are a lot of people who are overweight all over the world. What causes obesity? If you get the gene(基因), well, probably you are going to be a few more pounds heavier compared to the rest of your classmates or friends. 1. Obesity can not only make a person look heavy, and not in the usual sense of being handsome, but can also lead to serious health conditions and life-threatening diseases.
2. Indeed, junk food has been blamed for the prevalence(流行）of obesity. It is called junk food, because hamburger, pizza and the like contain high calories. If you eat a Big Mac (a super hamburger), an order of large fries, and a large Coke, you will need to walk non-stop for six hours to burn off the calories you have gained. And don’t be fooled by soft drinks, which are high in sugar and are a major cause of obesity.
3. Popular sugary drinks, of course, include Coca Cola, Pepsi(百事) Cola, and many new brands that appear on the market every couple of days.
4. Just one 20-ounce (about 567g) bottle of soda can have 250 calories, which are equal to more than 16 teaspoons of added sugars. Even a lemon-flavored iced tea can have 210 calories.
5. Next time, when you are ready to eat that huge Mac and to drink that two-liter bottle of Pepsi, probably it’s a good idea to give it a second thought.
A. Obesity is more common in women than men.
B. Most people don’t realize how easy it is to gain weight from drink sugar-sweetened beverages(饮料)
C. When we talk about obesity, the first thought that comes to mind is: junk food.
D. The unburnt calories will put weight on you.
E. Keeping healthy is our own responsibility.
F. Because of their high content of sugar, soft drinks are also called sugary drinks.
G. However, the most common cause of obesity is eating too much, especially too much junk food.
