Once, a rich man was near death. He was very upset because he had worked so hard for his money {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he hoped he could take it with him to heaven. So he prayed to God he might be able to take some money with him.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} angel heard his pray and appeared. “Sorry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  you can't take your wealth with you.” The man begged the angel to speak to God to see {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he might break the rules. The angel reappeared and said that God could allow him to take one suitcase. Excitedly, the man gathered his suitcase and filled it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} pure gold bars.

    Afterward, he died and showed up in heaven to greet St. Peter. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (see) the suitcase, St. Peter said, “Hold on, you can't bring that here!” The man explained that he had God's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (permit). St. Peter checked it out, came back and said, “You are right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents {#blank#}8{#/blank#} letting it through.”

    St. Peter opened the suitcase to inspect（检查）the things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaimed (感叹), “You brought paving(铺路的) stones? As you can see, the great street of the city of heaven {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) of pure gold!”

    One day when I was five years old, my mother took me to a swimming pool. She wanted to teach me how to swim.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sad), I was almost drowned(淹死，溺死).{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I was rescued by a man, my mother was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(frighten) that she decided never to let me get close to a swimming pool again.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, I thought quite differently. Instead of letting that horrible incident create more fear around water for me, I decided to become a good {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(swim). After I told my mother about that, she thought I was right and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(agree). So I started to learn how to swim again. My mother became more careful and I was not in danger again. Later I became {#blank#}7{#/blank#} interested in swimming that I decided to compete in swimming events. After years of efforts, my dream came true. I was the first African American {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(win) an Olympic Gold Medal in swimming. I did so at both 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

    Now I spend much of my time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (help) children learn how to swim. Hundreds of children each year drown in the United States.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (learn) how to swim can prevent 80% of these tragedies.

    Snakes are just about the most frightening thing in the world, according to Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr. The  only thing  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(bad) than a snake you can see is a snake you can't see, however. And thanks {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the photos Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers offer, you can experience the latter horror from the comfort of almost anywhere else besides the place{#blank#}3{#/blank#}that snake is.

    The snake-like animals' removal(移动) and relocation{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(serve) from Queensland, Australia posted a challenge to its 51,000 some-odd fans{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(find) the snake in the photo.

    Any luck? The photo shows that this particular backyard seems like{#blank#}6{#/blank#}regular ＂I Spy＂ book for snakes, so it's understandable if they are still looking hard. The snake is actually in the top right corner,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (hide) in the crook(藤条) between the two fences.

    Fear of snakes {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(call) ＂Ophidiophobia＂(蛇恐怖症) or ＂being a rational person＂. People are afraid of a lot of odd things, though.

    This fun little puzzle proves to just be further evidence that Australia is a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(terrible) dangerous place where everything {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(try) to eat you. We'll just stick to trying to find turtles in flowers, thank you very much.
