Once there were six blind (失明的) men. They often heard of elephants, but never knew what they {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .One morning, when they knew that a man was riding an elephant down the road, they asked the man to stop so that they could "see" it. They thought that by {#blank#}2{#/blank#}it they could learn what kind of animal it was.

    The first man put his both {#blank#}3{#/blank#}on the elephant's body. "It is like a wall (墙)," he said.

   The second man only touched the elephant's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .It is not like a wall at all" he said "It's more like a spear(矛)

    The third man touched the elephant's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} nose. You are not righht" he said. This elephant is like a(n){#blank#}6{#/blank#}

    The fourth man touched one of the elephant's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}"Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is round and tall like a tree."

    The fifth man was very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and touched the elephant's ear. "This animal is like a big fan (扇子)," he said.

    The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}man touched the elephant's tail (尾巴). He said, "The elephant is like a rope."

    They all {#blank#}10{#/blank#}each other. The elephant" moved on and the six blind men still talked about it……

    Some children dream of becoming adults (成年人)．So they won't have to do homework or take exams. That is to say，they won't have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} from school any more. But are things really like 6{#blank#}2{#/blank#} they think?

    Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain's most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it{#blank#}1{#/blank#}more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}day of the year.

    For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders{#blank#}3{#/blank#}to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can't be true because

    Stonehenge was built so many{#blank#}4{#/blank#}ago. "The leaders arrived in England much later," he points out.

    Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The largest stone were {#blank#}5{#/blank#}together in a certain way. On midsummer's morning, the sun shines{#blank#}6{#/blank#}into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can{#blank#}7{#/blank#} illness and keep people healthy. "As you walk there, you can feel the energy{#blank#}8{#/blank#}your feet move up your body," said one visitor. No one is sure{#blank#}9{#/blank#}Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.

    Many students aren't getting enough sleep at night, which means they end up feeling {#blank#}1{#/blank#} during class. Taking a nap (小睡) during the day may be a solution.

    According to Forbes, a nap can clear your mind, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your energy and help you study even {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. But how long should a nap last? "The proper time should be between 10 and 30 {#blank#}4{#/blank#}," Peter Venn, a sleep expert said.

    Sleeping for a short time, such as five minutes or so, is not helpful. That's just not enough time {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.But if you sleep for a long time, you may wake up feeling uncomfortable.
