One day, I was doing my homework in the bedroom. All of sudden, the light went out, leaving me in totally darkness. My mother came in with a candle. When I light the candle, the bedroom was brightened at once. I looked at the candle and was lost in thoughts. It is very small, and it isn’t worth many. But what it gives us are great. It brightens the way of many scientist; it brightens the desks of my teachers; it also brightens my mind. I think I should learn with the candle. Small as it is, but it tries its best to giving us light and heat.
There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, 1.was started by the medical community(医学界) as a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side2.(effect) such as overweight and heart disease-----the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required to process the food that we eat, to recover3.injury and several other bodily functions. When fat and salt4.(remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something.
As5.result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even6.(bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 7.(be) full of fat and salt; by8.(eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be9.(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible10.(have) too much of both, and this is not good for your health.

The place____consistent strong winds, and the somewhat cushioning effects of sand. That first flight was unsuccessful, ___it didn’t stop them. After several more tries, on December 17, 1903, with a much____plane, they risked their lives to drive it in the wind. They____flying the world’s first powered airplane. Beginning at 10:35 a.m. that day, Orville____it 120 feet in about 12 seconds. At 12:00, Wilbur flew it 852 feet in 59 seconds! Johnny Moore, one of five men who____them that morning (in charge of dragging the plane across the sand for positioning), ran to the village of Kitty Hawk____, “They’ve made it!” This was the ____of aviation! At this time, Wilbur was 36 and Orville 32. Roughly 24 years had passed____their father gave them that toy!

At the end of last summer my parents’ house in Tunstall went up in flames. Several months on, we’re still trying to find out exactly what happened, but my parents John and Carole were out when more than half the house was burned to the ground. What was left behind needed to be pulled down and most of the things that were not actually destroyed were so smoke-damaged that they would have to be thrown away.
My parents were both teachers and not the kind of people to fill their house with expensive furniture, so most of their belongings were memories-----including photos and the tracksuit(运动服) that Dad was given when he carried the Olympic torch (火炬). But what really upset me was not the loss of these things.
Dad had an album(唱片) for every occasion. Once his car got broken into and he was more upset that his cassettes had been nicked(划伤) than about all the rest of the damage. So when I was considering doing something to help after the fire, I immediately thought about his music. We couldn’t get the old photos back, but we could replace his CDs and records. Then I started a little page about my dad on the blogging site Tumblr.
Within a few days, news of what had happened spread by word of mouth, and I was getting messages from friends I hadn’t spoken to for years. I also heard from Dad’s mates and even from people neither of us had ever met. Soon packages arrived from all over the country. I expected 100CDs if we were lucky, but his new collection would now run into the thousands!
On Christmas Day, all the records, tapes and CDs were packed into a beautiful box, which of course, was for my dad. A lot of them came from his previous students and he was touched to realize what an effect he had had on their lives. Eventually , he told me, “What could have been a bad Christmas has been a very good one.”
