Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm so excited and so pleasing to win the

1．________

prize that I'm not sure how to say. I must

2．________

of course thank my music teacher giving

3．________

me so much encouragements and also my parents

4．________

for supporting me all the time. I can honest

5．________

say that I would have got this far only by myself!

6．________

But now that I win the prize, I shall be able

7．________

to go on with more confidence, and I may make

8．________

music as my career. I would certainly like to.

9．________

I can't say something else. Just, thank you.

　　Women are taking a much more important part in society today.

1．________

Now women are working like teachers, scientists and even leaders.

2．________

Almost all jobs which used to be done by men are done perfectly

3．________

well by women. Women are no longer looked down upon in

4．________

society. As the changes in their social role, women's position in

5．________

the family have been improved as well. It's hard to find the wife is

6．________

busy though the husband is sitting in an armchair, watching TV. In

7．________

spite of all these changes, a great number of men still guard his rights.

8．________

They think of women as incapable creatures. Sometimes a few women

9．________

are allowed attend important meetings. This is the problem we should

10．_______

try to solve now.

　　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 bit 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．________

　　The village was always very quiet. The people lived there

1．________

were busy working in their fields during the day, and

2．________

went to bed early at night, tiring after a long day's hard

3．________

work. All of them had lived in a village all their

4．________

lives and have never left for more than one day at a time.

5．________

During these days they left, they got up early in the morning.

6．________

They filled their carts with fruits and vegetables and sheeps

7．________

and went on the market in the town beyond their valley.

8．________

They came back in the evening and with some money and perhaps

9．________

a present far their children. That was lifehard yet

10．________

simple, but not unhappy.

　　The main purose of newspapers are to provide

1．________

news. If you examine newspapers closely, you find that

2．________

there are all sort of news; accidents, floods, fires, wars,

3．________

sports, books, etc. The news cover everything that happens

4．________

to people and their surroundings. Sometimes there are

5．________

news items which are very interested.

6．________

　　A news report is usually very shout, except for when it

7．________

was very important, but it has a lot of information. It

8．________

is also writing in short paragraphs. The first paragraph

9．________

is in the fact a summary of the news items. It gives all

10．________

the necessary information, what, when, where, how, and why,

The other paragraphs give full details of the subject.

　　Most slang words are used more in speaking

than in writing. As this reason, few can be found in dictionaries.

1．________

Most of Americans know about 10,000 to 20,000 words.

2．________

About 1,000 to 2,000 of these words are slang. However, slang

words are among those used very often.

　　Slang words are made up of special groups such as

3．________

workers, and musicians. They are used to describing a new

4．________

subject, experience of idea. At first, only the member of

5．________

such special groups understand words they have made up.

6．________

Later, some of the slang words are used by other people, too.

7．________

Slang words can be popular for a time, but then forget

8．________

and not used any more. Students study a foreign language

9．________

should be very careful about what words to use but what not.

10．________

Generally, it is better not to use slang words.
