3 . Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?

In 1969,the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River Cleveland, Ohio. It    1    (be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it    2    (actual) caught fire and burned. Now, years later, this river is one of    3    most outstanding（杰出的）examples of environmental cleanup.

But the river wasn’t changed in a few days    4    even a few months. It took years of work     5    (reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is    6    (clean) than ever.

Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit    7    is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?

In order to save this species from     3     （extinct）, the Chinese government placed it     4     national protection. Many volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates     5     （add）to let the antelopes move     6     （easy）and keep them safe from cars and trains.

Sun jumped off the podium, walked over to the officials and demanded that the flags again.     6     the end, the officials held the flags up themselves as China’s national anthem played a second time.

Winning the title is an achievement     9     will be remembered, but raising the flag again is also of great     10     (important).”

An old story is told of a king who had a close friend. The friend had a habit of commenting on situations even terrible     1    (thing) happening in his life, “This is good!”

One day the king and his friend were hunting. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had     2    (obvious) done something wrong in preparing the gun, for after     3    (take) the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend     4    (argue) as usual, “This is good!” The king replied, “No, this is not good!” and sent his friend to prison.

About a year later, the king was hunting when cannibals (食人者) captured him     5     took him to their village. They tied     6    (he) hands, stacked (堆积) some wood, set up a stake (桩) and bound him to the stake. As they came near     7    (set) fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. They never ate anyone that was not whole. So they sent him on his way.

Returning home, he remembered the event that had taken his thumb. He went immediately to the prison to speak     8    his friend, “You were right,” he said, “it was good that my thumb was gone.” He told the friend everything     9     had happened. “Sorry for sending you to prison for so long.”

His friend just gave a     10    (nature) reply, “This is good!” “What do you mean? How could it be good that I sent you to prison for a year?” “If I had not been in prison, I would have been with you.”
