Memories of my sophomore (高二学生）dance 【小题1】 (be) still vivid in my mind.

It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and I had put on my red party dress and my host mother was doing up my hair. My schoolmate Chris 【小题2】(show) up at the front door 【小题3】 his suit and tie. He handed me a red corsage (小花束）that 【小题4】 (perfect) matched my dress. We headed for school, and started our dance? To be honest, I am not sure 【小题5】 I should call what we did “dancing”. We jumped, yelled and laughed with people we knew or had just met for the first time. We twirled in circles, threw our arms in the air and, as my English teacher later put it, ran wild around the place. In those few 【小题6】 (hour)，nothing seemed to matter 【小题7】 than having fun.

With music playing and everybody 【小题8】 (have) a good time, Chris asked me a question, "How is the dance different from dances in China?"

“Well, we don’t usually have dances in China.”

“What? How do you express 【小题9】 (you) then?”

【小题10】 (lose) in thought. I was silent for a while.

Now, I have an idea for everyone: Just dance.

Starting this September, freshmen at Tsinghua University will have to take swimming courses. They won't receive their degrees until they pass the test【小题1】(success). Exceptions will be allowed for students with certain physical or mental conditions, if【小题2】(prove) by medical staff.

Actually, viewing the ability【小题3】(swim) as a must for students is not something new to this university. It was a【小题4】(require) in the early 20^th century. Later it【小题5】(drop) due to a rising number of students and a lack of facilities（设施）.

As for【小题6】new rule, opinions vary greatly. Some students welcome it, saying it's a necessary skill【小题7】can save lives, while others argue that it’s not reasonable to link degrees

In response to the negative reviews, Liu Bo, head of the Division of Sports Science, gave the following explanation.【小题9】a water sport , swimming does less harm to joints（关节）and muscles and is helpful in improving students' endurance.【小题10】(consequence) it's beneficial to students in the long run.

One month ago, my friends persuaded me 【小题1】(join)the 4×400m relay race during our school sports meeting. We all wanted to run a race like never before.

On the day of the race, runners 【小题2】(line)up at the starting line, and for the first time ever, I could feel nothing but 【小题3】(nervous)when hearing the shot of the starting gun. Since this was my first time participating in a track event, I stood there, my mind was 【小题4】(total)blank and my palms were sweating. As the last runner of our team, I felt great pressure 【小题5】 my shoulders the moment I grabbed the baton(接力棒). About halfway into the race, I was extremely 【小题6】(tire). Pain started to build in my legs, knees and 【小题7】(foot). All I could do was focus on putting one foot in front of 【小题8】 other. Shouts turned into deafening cheers when I was the first to cross the final line.

【小题9】(look)back after my team won, I realized our trophy(奖杯)was the result of our cooperation and lasting friendship, 【小题10】 may help me achieve more in the future.
