Under a very fearful storm, floods began to submerge (淹没) a small village. A priest (神父) in the church 1 and watched the flood submerge his knees. A lifeguard driving a boat came to2 the priest and said: “Father, come on as soon as possible!3 you will die in the flood!” The priest said: “No! I am 4 that God will save me. You can go to save others.”
But soon the 5 have come to the priest's chest. At that time, a man was driving a speedboat to the priest. He said: “Father, fast up, otherwise you really will be submerged!” The priest said: “No, I would like to 6 my church. I 7 that God will save me. You'd better start to save others.”
And after a while, floods have submerged the 8 church. A helicopter flew over 9 the pilot dropped a rope 10 and shouted: “Father11. This is the last 12!” Father firmly said: “No, I would like to keep my church! God will save me.” Rolling in the flood, the priest finally 13.
Father went to the heaven and asked God the question: “Lord, I give my life to 14 you. Why do you 15 to help me!” God said: “Are you 16? The first time I sent a boat to save you, you refused it—I thought you were 17 about the risk boat; the second time I sent a speedboat to go, you refused it too; the last time I send a helicopter out, you were 18 to accept the results. Therefore, I thought you wanted to hurry back to my 19”
In fact, too many obstacles in life, mostly because of extreme 20 are caused by ignorance.

Because of the financial crisis in the US and UK, college students are beginning to struggle to find ways to pay their tuition fees and accommodations.
Recently, two major US student loan (贷款) lenders, Citibank and JPMorgan Chase, announced they were leaving the student loan industry altogether. Because banks currently have a lack of credit, they are reluctant to offer students low-interest loans that need a several-year wait for any return of interest.
In the US, many undergraduates fill up their financial needs with a private loan, although the majority can get government-funded loans. In the 2015-2016 academic year, $ 17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education. The lack of private funding has yet to be covered and will hit many US students hard.
Across the Atlantic, UK students have been less troubled by the crisis. Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expenses with government-funded loans and grants. Their biggest concern is a sudden increase in student rent.
Most young professionals now rent houses, since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes (按揭计划) have disappeared—a direct result of the credit crisis. This has boosted the house rent market.
In large cities, UK students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in rent than the previous year. Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as London paying an average weekly rent of $ 203.
Yet, despite students' suffering, the number of this year's university applications is expected to grow. During economic slumps, people regard further education as a way to survive tough job market.

A rainforest is an area (cover) by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, (warm) the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
In the past hundred years, humans (begin) destroying rainforests in search of three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm (animal). This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People (obvious) have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
Rainforests are often called the world's drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their (medicine) value. It is extremely likely our best chance to cure diseases (lie) somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.
