is found mainly along shores of the Atlantic Ocean.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    2．________

It was first noticed in the Americas, and well have　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 3．________

come from Africa and reached to the New World　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  4．________

within or soon after Columbus. Until about fifty　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    5．________

years ago, yellow fever was still one of the　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   6．________

most fear diseases in the United States,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 7．________

many died in repeated outbreaks. An outbreak　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   8．________

which was to lead to surprised developments was　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 9．________

one that it happened in Cuba during the　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 10．________

Spanish-American War.

　　Last Saturday, Tom and I were walking

　　down the street while we saw an old man　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    1．________

fell off his bike. Many people crowded around　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    2．________

him. Someone suggested carrying an old man　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 3．________

to hospital, but Tom did not agree. He has learnt　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  4．________

first aid, so he said that they mustn’t move. They　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    5．________

ought to leave him where he was and checked him　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  6．________

first. At this time the old man wasn’t breathing. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

I called in First Aid Center at once and he began　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  7．________

to start the old man’s breathing, use the mouth-　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  8．________

to-mouth way. Soon the old man began to move　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 9．________

a little and doctors also arrived. They said that we　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   10．________

had done was right.

　　Once an old farmer had several sons who were often　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    1．________

quarreled with one another. The farmer told them not　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   2．________

to quarrel, and they would not listen to him. So he　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    3．________

decided to teach him a lesson. He called his sons together　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 4．________

and show them some sticks. He tied the sticks into a bundle（一捆）　　　　　　    5．________

and told his sons to break it. They all tried, but any of them could　　　　　　　　　　  6．________

do so. Then a family untied the bundle and the father told his sons to　　　　　　　　 7．________

break the sticks one by one. This time all of them did easy. The old　　　　　　　　    8．________

man said, “You see, my sons, when you are united, you are weak.　　　　　　　　　　 9．________

If you are not, your enemy beat you one by one.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  10．________

　　I’m the captain of our school team so with my　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    1．________

fellow players we’ve won several games. There　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  2．________

will an important game next month. But one of the　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  3．________

best players in our team told me just then that he　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 4．________

wouldn’t play basketball once more. His parents　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 5．________

asked him to spend in more time preparing for the　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   6．________

college entrance examination. I feel sorry to him.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    7．________

But his parents think go to college is more important　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   8．________

than playing sports and college was the only place　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   9．________

for a smart boy like his son. So my friend had no　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    10．________

choice. He wanted to make his parents happy.

　　Flea trainers have observed a strange habit of fleas

while training them. Fleas are trained by putting them

in a cardboard box with a top on it. The fleas will jump　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    1．________

up and hit the top of a cardboard box over and over　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2．________

again. As you watch them jumping and hit the lid.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    3．________

Something very interesting become obvious. The fleas　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 4．________

continue to jump, and they are no longer jumping high　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 5．________

enough to hit the top. When take off the lid, the fleas　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   6．________

continue to jump, but they will not jump out of from　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    7．________

the box. They won’t jump out because they don’t jump　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   8．________

out, why? The reason is simple. Once they had continued　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    9．________

themselves to jump still that high, that’s all they can do.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   10．________

　　As is known, that is interesting to teach children to　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 1．________

swim while they are still babies. Most the large towns in　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2．________

Florida and California have already run particularly lessons for　　　　　　　　　　　　 3．________

babies. The idea has quickly spread to Europe from where,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 4．________

in several countries, special courses are now offered to　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  5．________

the children who are from 7 to 24 month old.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    6．________

The first step is to have child get rid of fear of　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   7．________

water. Next, he is teaching to float in water. Once he　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  8．________

can do that naturally and can swim with fear, the child can　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 9．________

master the technique and push him forward through the water.　　　　　　　　　　    10．________

　　As the population of the world keeps on grow, it gets　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  1．________

more and more difficult feed everyone. The United　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2．________

States is one of the lucky country because it grows enough　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    3．________

food for itself and still has enough to export to another parts of　　　　　　　　　　　　   4．________

the world. One reason for this is because the United States　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 5．________

is large country with different kinds of climate.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  6．________

Most of the central part of the country is especial fit for raising　　　　　　　　　　　　   7．________

grain. Wheat and corn are the most important crops in the district.　　　　　　　　　　  8．________

The United States exports million of tons of grain every year.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  9．________

Wheat is used to make bread, a basic food throughout in　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    10．________

the world. Most of the corn is used to feed animals, which in turn become food themselves.

　　It had rained for several days. I felt bored. Fortunately, 　　

it became very fine on last Sunday morning. So I got up early　　　　　　　　　　    1．________

and decided to go for a walk and took some photos in the　　　　　　　　　　    2．________

beautiful country. After breakfast, I carried camera with　　　　　　　　　　    3．________

me and set off. Everything did smoothly. I enjoyed my trip　　　　　　　　　　    4．________

so much that I didn’t realize the weather had turned badly　　　　　　　　　　    5．________

again. I began to run and it was so late. I was caught　　　　　　　　　　    6．________

in rain and was wet through. I kept on running until　　　　　　　　　　    7．________

I got to the bus stop. I stood there cheerfully waiting a long time for the bus　　　　　　　　　　    8．________

shivering（颤抖）with cold. Shortly after I got home, I　　　　　　　　　　    9．________

had a high fever, that made me stay in bed for a whole week!　　　　　　　　　　    10．________
