Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive (重新体验) these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.

Ban Ki-moon was made the 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations. In his speech at the ceremony of his taking office, he thanked all the Member States for placing confidence in him, and also expressed his deepest respect and appreciation to all the leaders and people of the Member States for their strong support.
His remark about the former Secretary-General, who he said had guided their Organization into the 21st century and had made the UN truly vital to peace, prosperity and human dignity around the world, was particularly impressive. Mr. Ban Ki-moon stated in his speech that he had already made up his mind to build upon the already-made achievements of the UN.
The new Secretary-General thinks the UN is needed now more than ever before. The UN’s major task in the previous century was to keep countries from fighting each other. In the new century, it is very clear that the UN’s most important task is to strengthen the inter-state system so that humanity may be better served. We need competent and responsible states to meet the needs of ―we the peoples‖ for whom the UN was created. And the world’s peoples will not be fully served unless peace, development and human rights, the three pillars of the UN, are advanced together with great efforts and equal determination.
As the new Secretary-General, he is not as proud as people thought he might be. He said he was far from perfect and he would need the support, cooperation and trust from all the Member States. And he faithfully promised to serve them well, with all of his heart and to the best of his abilities.
There is also something exciting he said about young people. It’s his hope that young boys and girls of today will grow up knowing that the UN is working hard to build a better future for them. As Secretary-General, he will hold their hopes and hear their demands. Main aspects in Ban Ki-moon’s speech ·to the Member States for feeling (72)______ of him and being supportive Expressing his ·to the former Secretary-General for the (73) ______ he has made to the (71) ______ UN His understanding ·in the (74) ______ century, to keep countries from fighting each other of the UN’s major ·in the new century, to (75) ______ the cooperation between countries tasks ·to meet the needs of the whole world ·to be supported, cooperated and (76) ______ by all the Member States His commitments ·to work for the UN heart and (77) ______ and expectations ·to make young people fully (78) ______ of the UN’s mission(革命)

One possible version:
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are walking towards us, taking a big step. Now how to grow up along with Olympic Champions has become a hot topic and the highlight of our concern. Recently a heated discussion on this topic was held in our class.
We all agree that Olympic Champions have much in common. They are strict with themselves, always working hard to be excellent. As representatives of the Olympic spirit, they show respect for everyone, competitors, judges, and the media. Besides, they never give up. They will keep on trying after failure until finally they succeed.
Most of us cannot become Olympic champions. Yet we can learn something from them. First, we should set up our goals and go definitely after them. We can learn to concentrate and keep a good state of mind in front of failure.
Like the world champions, we are also members of our society. I think we should also take up our own roles. Whatever we are and whatever we do, we should spare no effort to contribute the little that we can to our society.
In a word, the Olympic Slogan “One World, One Dream” expresses the voice of our class --- share a beautiful earth, share modern civilization and create a better future hand in hand.
