A young rider said calmly, "I prefer to use shared bikes which are popular in many big cities of China now. I hope they can come to Tang County earlier!"

We were so hungry that we had some noodles in a small restaurant. We were     6     （吃惊的）to find them quite nice. Then I saw a man eat some little meatballs. I bought some, too. I ate the first one very quickly. I was just eating the second one when I felt     7     （我自己）burning—my mouth was on fire! I coughed badly and there were tears in my eyes. I wasn’t even     8     （能）to describe how spicy（辣的）it was!

I drank about ten glasses of water. Everyone else saw me and     9     （笑）at me. It was really the     10     （最坏的）trip in my life!

However, his life changed. One day when he got a heart-shaped box full of chocolate in the mail (邮包) along with a piece of paper that said, “Somebody loves you.” He couldn’t     3     (believe) it at first, but he began to laugh and dance around after reading the message. The message opened his heart to the ability of love. Soon he found     4     (he) being cheerful. He became a joy at work and began to help out people in the neighborhood. As the days and weeks went by, everyone around him was moved by his laughter, smiles, kindness, happiness     5     love.

Later, Mr. Hatch found out that the heart-shaped box belonged to (属于) somebody else. It was     6     mistake. He felt sad and went back to his old ways. When his     7     (neighbor) found out, they decided not     8     (lose) the light he shared.
