10 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Falling     1     the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn festival is all about the full moon and family reunion it represents. When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon, an ancient poem, “Prelude to Water Melody”(水调歌头), is often read for this occasion.

Critics say it’s     2     (probable) the best poem on the Mid-Autumn. After it    3     (write), all the other poems on the harvest moon (丰收之月) could be well-forgotten. So why is this poem so special?

The story     4     (date) back to the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year 1076. Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty (960—1279), could not sleep that night, missing his geographically separated dear brother Su Zhe.     5     (look) at the moon and thinking of his brother, as well as the ups and downs (沉浮)of his own life, Su Shi drank some wine and composed a poem, or more specifically a “ci”,     6     (call) “Prelude to Water Melody.”

For the first two lines, the writer compares the life of a man with the changing face of the moon. A full moon represents perfection and unity,     7     a gloomy (黑暗的) night may remind people of their bad luck.

However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride(一帆风顺), just like the moon may not always be bright. The imperfections, or the unsatisfactory things have been going on since the beginning of time. That’s why     8     poet says so.

So Su Shi gives his optimistic answer: change your attitude and stay positive. The poet hopes people can avoid indulging in(沉湎于) the sorrow of life and instead appreciate the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are     9     (health) and happy, they all can admire the same moon high in the sky and share this eternal(永恒的)    10     (beautiful).
