12．Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability．
Compared with other forms of writing，it is shorter and takes（41）less（little） time．It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English．If we persist in this practice，gradually we'll learn how（42）to express（express）ourselves in English．In keeping a diary in English，we certainly run up against many（43）difficulties（difficult）．In the first place，it often happens that we have trouble in（44）finding（find） proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind．Secondly，there（45）are（be） many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese．And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English（46）properly（proper）．
As far as I am（47）concerned（concern），my suggestion is（48）thatwe should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach．Whenever something beats us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer to our dictionary．We can also ask our English teacher（49）forhelp，if necessary．In short，I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for（50）thedevelopment of our writing skills．

11．It's not hard to find drugs，and sometimes it may seem like everyone's doing them-or wanting you to do them．But as with anything that seems too good to be true，there are downsides to taking drugs．
How Drugs Work
Drugs are chem icals that change the way our bodies work．Some are medicines that help people when doctors prescribe（开处方） them．Many have no medical use or benefits．
When taken，drugs find their way into the bloodstream．From there，they're sent to the brain and other parts of the b ody．In the br ain，drugs may strengthen or weaken the senses，change how alert or sleepy people feel，and sometimes decrease physical pain．
Because of the way drugs work on the brain，they affect the ability to make healthy choices and decisions．Even drinking makes people more likely to get involved in dangerous situations，like driving under the influence or having unprotected sex．
How drugs affect people depends on lots of things：
●the kind of drug taken
●how much is taken
●how often someone uses it
●how quickly it gets to the brain
●what other drugs，food，or substances are taken at the same time
●the person's body size，shape，and chemistry
Although substances can feel good at first，they can do a lot of harm to the body and brain．Drinking alcohol，smoking or using tobacco，taking illegal drugs，even sniffing glue all damage the human body．

A．benefits        B．disadvantages         C．effects      D．changes

10．Mike was reading in the garden when his mother came．She pointed to something and asked Mike what it was．Mike felt quite surprised，（41）buthe told her it was a sparrow（庥雀） and went on reading．
   Several minutes later，his mother pointed to the same sparrow and asked the same question again，（42）whichmade Mike a little an gry but he still answered her question．After a little while，his mother did the same thing once more．And this made Mike even （43）angrier（angry）．He shouted at her for disturbing him again and again．
   The old lady silently took out（44）anold diary，turned to a page and showed it to Mike．Though a little impatient，Mike began to read（45）it．"Today，I（46）was watering（water） the flowers in the garden when little Mike pointed to a bird on the grass and asked me what it was．I 　smiled at him，said it was a sparrow and kissed him．After a while Mike asked me again and I did the same．（47）Pointing（point） to the same sparrow，littl e Mike asked me what it was twenty times and I kept on answering his question and kissing him every time．"
   Someth ing touched Mike's heart gently．His face turned red with shame（48）forbeing so impatient with his mother and he hugged her tight．

9．Air travel makes some people very nervous．But there are classes people can take to help themselves defeat the fear of flying．And now similar training can be provided for service dogs that suffer the same problem．
   Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for．You will see them working on buses，trains and other public transport．But the busy environment found at an airport can disturb even the best-trained working dogs．
   People with disabilities depend on their dogs．They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas．They also want the dogs to remain calm on duty on the airplane，even when the flying is not smooth．This takes special training．The Air Hollywood K9 flight School is one place where such help can be found．
   The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights，sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight．It is called a flight simulator （模拟器）．The simulator was initially built for filming airplane scenes in movies．
Sandy Alexander lives in Newport Beach，California．He has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog，Doc，to be always at his side．Mr Alexander took the dog to the flight school to get him ready for plane trips．
According to her working experience，Mary Sgall says，successful training is based on a simple rule：preparation．Dogs need to be exposed to the environment over and over again，to loud noises，to sounds and busy crowds so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis，they're able to act in a way that they're used to acting，"she explained．
Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future flights．Their dogs also seem ready for takeoff．
