One of my father's favorite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) as I was growing up was “Try it!”. I couldn't say I didn't like something, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it might be, until after I tried it. Over the years I've come to realize how much of my success I owe to my {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (accept) of those words as one of my values. My first job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I determined what I wanted to do as a career. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (actual) I believed I would work for a few years, get {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (marry), stay home and raise a family, so I didn't think the job I took mattered that much. I couldn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) more mistaken. I mastered the skills of that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (begin) level position and I was given the opportunity to move up through the company into {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (differ) positions. I accepted each new opportunity with the thought, “Well, I'll try it; {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I don't like it I can always go back to my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (early) position.” But I was with the same company for the past 28 years.

    Last summer, my family took a trip to Shanghai City from Hong Kong. It was my{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(one) visit to the city.

    What I saw in Shanghai City was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (extreme) impressive. All the cars were in a hurry and everyone in the streets was walking rapidly. There were many more ways than my hometown for one to get to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} from one place. Everywhere people were driving, riding shared bikes, waiting for buses, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}rushing underground to the subway stations.

    In {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (add) to the people and transportation, I found the buildings were also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (amaze). Each street was filled with buildings that {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(build) side by side and a number of skyscrapers were present throughout the city{#blank#}8{#/blank#} well. Standing on the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, I could hold almost the entire city from this view. Some stores were also as large or even larger than the ones in my hometown.

    My visit to Shanghai City was like discovering a new of life. I expect {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (move) to such a great city. My first trip to Shanghai City was one of the most unforgettable {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(experience) of my life and it is also the one I will always treasure.

    Your next car could have two seats, three wheels — two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side {#blank#}2{#/blank#} side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

    The starting price for the car {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (be) just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (cheap). It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

    Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that one day he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (own) a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tire) of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (attract) buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable cars. "Whatever matters to you, this can make a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (different) to it," he said.
