Nowadays, we are in a modern society. Everybody should be polite in public. But sometimes some people like to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in line when they buy tickets or get on the bus or subway. They take {#blank#}2{#/blank#}places as well as time when they are in line, so it is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I can't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that. Sometimes, I even get mad when I see them cut in line.

     When this {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, I often say, "Would you mind {#blank#}6{#/blank#}in line?" But sometimes some of them are angry {#blank#}7{#/blank#}me and they say, "It's none of your business." So I {#blank#}8{#/blank#}angrier. Then I only tell it to the people who sell the tickets. At last the people who are breaking the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}of etiquette(礼数) don't get their tickets. So I am happy and the people who cut in line are {#blank#}10{#/blank#}

    Chess is called the game of kings. People have been playing it for hundreds of years. The chess we play today is believed to first {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in Asia.

    Some people think that chess is more than a game. They think that it can make the mind stronger. Good chess {#blank#}2{#/blank#} use their brains. They take their time and think about what will happen next. These skills are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in life too.

    You don't always have lots of time to think when playing chess. There is a kind of chess with short time limits(限制). It's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} blitz chess. In blitz chess, each player gets ten minutes to play a whole game. Your clock runs during your turn(机会). You hit the time clock after your move. This {#blank#}5{#/blank#} your clock and starts the other player's clock. If you run out of {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, you lose. Games of blitz chess are fast - paced( 快节奏的)

    Chess is not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for people. Computers have been playing chess since the 1940s. At first they did not play well. They made {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. As time went on they grew {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. In 1997, a computer beat the best player in the world for the first time. It was a computer called Deep Blue. Deep Blue was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, which took up a whole room. By 2006 a mobile phone could beat the best players in the world. Chess sure has come a long way.
