His son looked surprised. "I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less,     3    not save a bit of money? "

"That would be a very    4    (reason)thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours," Nick said.

Nick's guests,     5    had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy sale more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, "The only reason a man would sell sale    6    a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect    7    the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

"But such a small thing couldn't    8    (possible)destroy a village."

My experience of teaching students was a wonderful adventure. I had to deal with various challenges again and again.

The     1     (great) part of it was the relationship I developed with two students. One of the students was Michael,     2     I met when I was working for a kindergarten. Before I became a morning bus assistant, I     3     (hear) that Michael was a student who would always shout, stand up on the bus, make fun     4     other students, and distract the bus driver. So I decided that each morning,     5     he got on the bus, I'd have Michael sit beside me. At first he didn't like this idea. But soon he settled down,     6     (know) he had no choice. I began to talk to him about little things outside of school life, such as his weekend     7     (activity) and things that he liked to do. I also listened     8     (close) to him. As I gave Michael the attention that he needed, little by little, he began to behave better and better.

Another student I took a special interest in was a boy     9     (name) Tony, a third grader. To some degree, Tony seemed to be a slow or passive learner. So I decided to see if I could find a way to encourage Tony     10     (stay) at the task. Before long, he was paying more attention to his studies and scored high in all tests.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building     1     a hat by his feet. He held up a sign     2     said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and     3     (drop) them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone     4     (walk) by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot     5     (many) people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked," Were you     6     one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, “I only wrote the     7     (true). I said what you said, but in a different way.” I wrote: “Today is a beautiful day,     8     I cannot see it.”

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky     9     they were not blind. Should we be     10     (surprise) that the second sign was more effective?

On May 18, it was announced that China     1     (achieve) success in drilling fire ice, a frozen mixture of water and natural gas, from the South China Sea.     2     (official) known as methane hydrates (甲烷水合物), fire ice produces a high amount of energy when it is burnt and its chemical reaction produces nothing but dioxide and water.

Fire ice, both clean and energy-intensive,     3     (consider) the fuel of the future. But, the Chinese team succeeded in     4     (extract) fire ice for nearly eight successive days, which is a big breakthrough. However, it is too early     5     (say) a new energy source has been found. The worlds total fire ice reserve is about 21,000 trillion cubic meters，    6    , if extracted, could meet the worlds energy need for 1,000 years. But the    7     (success) test drilling of fire ice does not mean it can be extracted for     8     (industry) use. China has to solve many problems     9     it can use fire ice as a source of energy.

It’s thought that only by 2025 at     10     earliest might people be able to look at realistic commercial options.
