引用
There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is a hotly debated topic in China today. There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is becoming popular in China today. Some people believe that it is beneficial in many ways. In the first place, it helps raise money for such groups as the poor and the disabled as well as for such causes as sports. (Thus, the heavy financial burden on the government will be relieved or even removed.) In the second place, lottery games provide people with a means of entertainment or pastime. (Without lottery games, many people might find nothing interesting to do. Last but not least, by buying lottery tickets, one may make a fortune overnight.)
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They say that buying lottery tickets is actually a kind of gambling. People are encouraged to earn money through guessing instead of down-to-earth labor. As a result, some people are tempted to commit crimes. A case in point is the two bank clerks in Heibei who stole millions of money from the bank to buy lottery tickets.
Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the former. Lottery games can serve as a good means to raise funds. But the ticket buyers should keep in mind the original purpose of such games, that is, to help the underprivileged or to contribute to public welfare. If they happen to win the prizes, it’s nothing but a return for their kindness.
(Personally, I think that both sides have something right. Actually, lottery games should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and eliminate their unhealthy side-effects. Or in other words, we should further develop lottery games and exert proper supervision over them so that they can benefit us in a better way。

1.__________________ （直到失去健康） that people know the value of health.
2.The bag was stuffed____________________( 脏衣服）
3.___________________ （很多朋友不在）， we decided to put the meeting off.
4._______________________ （给我印象最深的） were her liveliness and sense of humor.
5.There engines are___________________ （不如我们制造的那些发动机功率大） .
参考答案及解析:
1. It is not until they lose it
大家对not until/until的用法掌握比较好，不过比较少人用it来替代下文的health，答案的替代比较简洁，翻译中应该避免重复使用同一个词。
2.with dirty clothes
这里主要是考察be stuffed with （被填满）的用法，这是一个四级单词，是搭配问题。
3.With many friends absent
这里主要是考察对absent adj./vi./absence n.缺席的各种表达，如果按照原文“不在”翻译，显然比较生硬且与下文不符，因此要善于根据上下文推断原文意思。
4.What impressed me the most
名词性从句what impressed me the most，有部分沪友遗漏了其中的“the”，表示最高级一般都要使用定贯词the，如the largest、the hardest等。
5. less powerful than the ones we have made
很多人都用比较级，可是却忽略了比较级是用在形容词/副词上的，如faster、bigger、more beautiful等。因此这里应该用power的形容词powerful，另要强调机器是我们制造的－we have made.
