    One day, Daisy went to see the animals in a flying carpet. It{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(fly) away to Tibet in China first{#blank#}2{#/blank#}she saw an antelope. The antelope told her that they were killed for the wool taken from their {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（stomach）.Then the carpet got to Zimbabwe, where Daisy saw an elephant. The elephant said they were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} danger. Now the government allowed tourists to hunt only {#blank#}5{#/blank#} certain number of animals if they gave money to the farmers.

    The flying carpet rose again and soon they arrived at a thick rainforest. There was a monkey {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(rub) a millipede insect over{#blank#}7{#/blank#}body because the insect could protect it from mosquitoes. The monkey told Daisy, “ Attention should {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（pay）to the rainforest where animals live.

    Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two {#blank#}1{#/blank#} one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

    With less than ten {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (remain) seconds, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O' Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave {#blank#}3{#/blank#} everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O' Donnel had scored!

    Then there was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (silent). Mickey had scored all right, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome（综合症）and for him there is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

    The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tight) and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (react). I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (late) that night, when my daughter asked {#blank#}10{#/blank#} had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

    Mozi was also an {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (influence) thinker, whose beliefs were similar to Confucius's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} some ways.
