Once there lived a rich man     1    wanted to do something for the people of his town.    2     first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed    3    very large stone. Then he     4    (hide ) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

“Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way.    5    man came along and did the same thing; then another came,and another. All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove     6    . Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone,    7    (say) to himself: “The night    8    (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his         9    (strong) to move it. How great was his surprise at last!    10     the stone, he found a bag of money.

There is a wonderful story about Jimmy Durante,     1    is one of the great singers in the twentieth century. One day, when     2    （ask）to be part of a show for some old World War II soldiers, Jimmy said he could afford only a few minutes and     3     he would come if they wouldn’t mind his singing one short song and immediately leaving for his next appointment. Of course, the show’s director agreed happily.

But when Jimmy got on stage, something     4     (surprise) happened. He went through the short song and then stayed. The applause grew louder and louder and he kept staying. Pretty soon, he had been on stage    5      fifteen, twenty, and then thirty minutes. One of his assistants behind the stage stopped him and said, “I thought you had to go after a few minutes. What happened?” Jimmy answered, “I did have to go, but I can show you the reason    6     I stayed. You can see for yourself if you look at the front row.” In the front row     7      (be) two men, both of     8     had lost an arm in the war.     9     had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left. Together, they were able to clap, and that was exactly    10     they were doing, loudly and cheerfully.

In recent years, a new idea     1     is called a “naked marriage” has arisen as the cost of living goes up. It has become a new trend for many young people in China. With a small marriage certificate in hand, they get married. And for the couples in a “naked marriage”, this certificate also contains other       2     (meaning).

A resident from Chengdu said, “There are many people like us born in     3     1980s. Our families cannot afford     4     (buy) us new apartments, cars, let alone diamond rings. I think that's very normal for regular families. We must make a better future on     5     (we) own.”

A graduate of Sichuan University said, “The most important element in a marriage     6     (be) love. I believe our living conditions will     7     (gradual) get better.”

A professor says a “naked marriage” is in direct contradiction to China's     8     (tradition) marriage customs. However, as living costs continue to rise, this phenomenon may become more popular in the future.

But not all people have a positive opinion about a “naked marriage”. According to a survey       9     (conduct) by sohu.com, only about 40% of the 3, 500 people surveyed like the idea of a “naked marriage”. About 80% of men support a “naked marriage”,     10     there are also 70% of women not supporting the idea because they think these marriages are not stable.

When someone has     1     (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly    2     (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, studies     3    (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show     4    (little) anger and more hopefulness, ”says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people     5    (feel) more energetic. ”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something     6    gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an     7    (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, ”says Dr Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in     8    same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time. ”

Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean    9     (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to     10    (you) from that person’s point of view.
