Youth is a kind of wealth. It will gradually disappear  time going by. What can we do to fulfill our youth？ In my opinion， for one thing， it is to realize our values and our ideas  matter a lot.

No matter what our ideas are， we must try hard to achieve them. When we are young we are full of energy. We have the

（good） conditions in our lives. Good memories， good understandings and so on. We should make full use of these conditions   （study） more.

For another， we should do  many things as possible we want to do. Of course， they must enrich our lives， which can make it possible for us to gather many different  （experience） that are worth  （remember） when we are old.

Then when we are  （real） old and we cannot move easily any more， we can be proud of the things that we  （achieve） in happiness and we can safely say there  （be） no regret in our lives.

Will cash disappear from our neighborhoods？ Cash will likely become less popular， thanks to the high cost of using cash and the  （grow） number of alternatives. The future will be “less cash” rather than cashless.

Cash is unique among payment instruments in that anyone can transact （交易）， any time， any place， with no third parties  （involve）. With this freedom  （come） strong privacy protection. People have  sense of security when they have cash with them. These entries will， of course， evolve （進化） as our societies become more  （digital） native. However， old habits and viewpoints take a long time  （turn） over. Some  （merchant） will resist the costs of new equipment or fees that accompany cash alternatives. Cash  （consider） more convenient and universal， while with digital transactions theres always concerns about hacking and fraud （诈骗）.

So， no matter where we are in the world， let us celebrate the ATMs half-century of service. Though cash may become less popular， rest assured that there will always be someone  will stop you in the street asking for directions  the nearest ATM.

China， which takes pride in four inventions in ancient times， has once again shown its ability  （change） the world with its “new” four great inventions： high-speed railways， electronic payment， shared bicycles and online shopping.

The “new” four great inventions  （improve） the quality of peoples lives. Thanks to online shopping and mobile payment， people can buy what they want  （simple） with a tap of the phone within doors. High-speed trains have shortened  journey from Beijing to the coastal city Tianjin to half an hour. As for the bikes， they themselves are not new. It is the operating model of bike-sharing  （base） on satellite navigation （導航） system， mobile payment as well as big data  has surprised the world. Shared bicycles are bringing cycling back  peoples lives and they are making public transport more  （attract）.

It is increasingly clear that China is no longer  （copy） western ideas and is leading in many new ways. A growing number of foreign companies hope to promote the development in their home country by highlighting the need for technological  （achieve） like that of China.

I was once asked to deliver a speech    1    （title） “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class. Just imagine how    2

（terrible） shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other    3    （choose）， however.

First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me. But the hard part    4    （lie） in my presentation; I had to give the speech    5    my memory. A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs    6    （tremble） and my mind blank. How much time had passed by， I didnt know. My listeners were still waiting. Gradually I found myself back， giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After    7    seemed to be a hundred years， I found my audience applauding. I made it！ From then on， my fear of making a speech disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up， I now turn out  （be） a great speaker. Looking back， I know the greatest difficulty on our way to    9    （succeed） is our fear; overcome it，  we will be able to achieve our goals.

Is there such a thing as being “over?protective”？

I can honestly say that my answer to that question  （change） dramatically since I became a parent.

Before the birth of my daughter， I taught at  private school， often viewing my students as over?protected， worrying about  would happen when they went on to middle school.

Some did fine， and some did not. Some needed constant pats on the back， words of  （encourage） and extra support， which I  （happy） gave. Others were content  their own， needing little or no interaction with their teachers. But for the most part， graduates would go on for higher schooling.

Id always supposed their parents were over?protective， for they were the ones that still walked their  （five） graders into the classroom and met them at the school gate.

Admittedly， I laughed at those parents，  （think） their children would never learn to be  （independence） if they didnt let go just a little. Then I had my own daughter. The moment I looked at her little face， I  （know） Id do everything in my power to protect her and make sure she always felt safe！

According to a recent survey， violence did exist in schools. Students  （show） their fear， and parents and teachers also expressed their great concern about it.  （expert） hope the whole society will pay more attention to the mental health of adolescents.

Nowadays， school violence is  hot issue. I think this is a phenomenon，  calls for our great concern. We should try every effort to prevent violence  （happen） at school for more and more students would drop out of school if their personal  （safe） could not be guaranteed. In fact， violence can  （learn）. Children learn violent behavior from adults or from what they see on television or on the Internet.

If I meet with school violence， I will not answer it  violence， for it will result in more fightings. I will tell my teachers or parents about it. I think they will help me deal with it  （good） and they will protect me from the bad guys.

All in all， every student should behave  （he） and keep away from violence.
