One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I approached my car, I noticed one person    1    (stand) beside me. He was a person who    2    (consider) as a bum(流浪汉). It seemed    3     he had no car, no home and no job. I expected that he would ask me    4    money, but he didn’t. He only said, “Your car is very nice.”

After several moments of    5    (silent), I asked him if he needed help and his response was astonishing. I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him,“Don’t we all?” It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place    6    (sleep), I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough   money to get a meal and roo m to stay in for a day.    7    (eventual), I understood that no matter how much money or success we have, we all need help. And on    8    other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material    9    (problem) you have, you still might offer your help to others. You still might be giving. Even it's just a nice word, you can give that and it can be    10    (value) to other person.

I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home because the forest scenery is     1     (fantasy) no matter what the season. This morning I was driving     2     (slow) than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery.       3     (amaze) to see a buck deer (公鹿) standing in the middle of the road, I came to     4     full stop and for a few seconds stared at the deer. His eyes seemed wise and were smiling at me. Finally, I     5     (wave) to him to go on. He then leapt across the road, up the hill and back into the woods.

Most of us rush through this life not knowing the very thing     6     we are missing. The next time you find     7     (you) going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sunrise over the horizon and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them     8     tell them that you love them. If you do, your life     9     (be) so much better and more beautiful. And you might even end up not     10     (hit) a deer on your way home.

The story happened in a class. A teacher teaching math to     1     five-year-old student asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple, then another, and another, how many     2     (apple) will you have?” The teacher had expected a correct answer, but she didn’t get one. Within a few seconds the student replied     3     (confident). “Four! The teacher repeated the question, but the student still gave her the wrong answer after     4     (count) on his fingers.

The teacher thought he needed some encouragement. Then, she remembered that this student liked strawberries. She was very     5     (excite), and she asked. “If I give you one strawberry, then another, and another, how many will you have then?”

The boy counted on his fingers again.     6     a smile, the student said, “Three.” The teacher now had a satisfied smile. So once again, she asked him, “Now if I give you one apple and one apple, then another, and another, how many will you have?”

The student answered, “Four!”

The teacher     7     (become) angry. “Why? My boy, why?”

In a low voice, the young student said, “Because I already have one apple in my bag.”

When someone gives you an answer     8     is different from what you have expected, don’t think he     9    (be) wrong. There may be an angle that you have not understood at all, so you will have     10     (listen).

【推荐2】Humor is very important in our life, and we can never have enough of it. Humor not only makes us feel happy, but also helps us communicate more     1    (easy). Without humor, life would be     2    (bore). It is my grandfather who has convinced me that humor is one of the best ways to make life     3    (enjoy).

My grandfather is an old man who always entertains us in his way. He has grey and thin hair, but he always tells me that he is     4    (pride) of it, which makes me very puzzled. One day, when I saw grandfather     5    (read) the newspaper, I noticed his grey hair was in     6     mess. When I tried to comb     7    , he turned to me and asked whether I liked his hair or not. When I was thinking of how to reply, he said, “Don’t you think my hair looks like Einstein’s?” Then I burst into     8    (laugh). I finally knew     9     grandfather took pride in his hair.

Whenever I meet difficulties, I always think of my grandfather’s humor,     10     encourages me to enjoy life all the time.

Do you have sleeping problems? If so, then these tips may help you fall asleep fast.

Set aside the thought that you have to fall asleep. The more you think of it, the     1    ( hard )you will fall asleep.

The foods you eat also play     2    important part. Avoid eating or drinking things like chocolates, coffee, tea and energy drinks. If you have to, then have them in the morning and never in the afternoon,     3    (especial) before going to bed. Don’t eat too much at night. A full stomach will make it more difficult for you     4    （fall）asleep because your body is working more time to digest the food you ate.

Make a fixed time to go to bed. For example, by 9 o'clock in the evening you should already be     5    bed. Do this even if you’re not sleepy yet. Once     6    (follow) this routine, you will gradually see that you will feel sleepy when it’s 9 o'clock in the evening.

Make your room     7    (comfort) for sleeping. You should also take notes that the sleeping environment also     8    (affect) your sleep. It must be in the room     9    it’s not noisy. Otherwise, you will find     10    difficult to fall asleep again after waking up.

I am taught by many teachers in my school. Every subject has a     1     (differ) teacher, but I like my math teacher     2     (well). Her name is Lakshmi but we usually call her Ma’am. She is our class teacher too.

Ma’am     3     (join) us last term. She is very kind and her way of teaching is so     4     (interest) and simple that we all can understand everything     5     is being taught and how it can be done. Most importantly, Ma’am teaches math with lots of patience. If we do not understand a problem, she will spend extra time    6     (guide) us until we understand it. And we can go to her at any time during school    7     (hour) for help.

She also helps us     8     activities at school. When there is some kind of programs, she will be there to help us to get ready for the show. Even when we go on picnics, she takes good care of     9     (we).

To me, Ma’am is not only     10     good teacher, but also our best friend. I love Ma’am and I wish her a happy life.

The love story of French President Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Trogneux, 24 years his senior, has aroused heated discussion on age differences     1     relationships. Does age matter or should love prevail(战胜) over all?

I find     2     a very heartwarming love story. Not just this couple,     3    any couple - what does age difference matter after all? If they love each other,     4    ( devote) to the relationship and work on making it strong, that is what    5     (count).

It is nearly impossible for Chinese women to accept Macron's relationship. It is     6     (common) for older men to marry younger women, but for an older woman to marry a younger man is often seen as     7     (appropriate). If you get along well, go for it, it's your life and life is way too short    8     (let) a potential soul mate get away because of what you think others would say. I think it really doesn't matter. It is involved in the     9     (devote) of the people and how well they enjoy each other's company is important along with supporting each other     10    (emotion), financially etc....
