A man looking at his Smartphone while walking across a railway{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(absorb) in his Smartphone that he did not see a train approaching until it brushed past him{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(throw) him to the ground. This should serve {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially{#blank#}5{#/blank#} crossing roads.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(lucky), the man survived, but the incident forced the driver {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(stop) the train. An 18-minute delay followed the incident{#blank#}8{#/blank#}led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

    Smartphone {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(addict) has spread like an infectious disease. It's evident that it will do great harm to society. What's even{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends. Some people blame the Smartphone for the sad story, yet in fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

    A man was really worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(train) his child.

    The Buddhist monk said to the boy's father, "You should leave your son to me. I will make him a man of{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(brave) within three months. However, you can't come to see him during that period."

    Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and a(n){#blank#}4{#/blank#}（profession） boxer（拳击手）.

Each time the boxer hit the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up. Several times later，the Buddhist monk asked，"{#blank#}5{#/blank#} do you think of your child?"

    "What {#blank#}6{#/blank#} shame!" the boy's father said." I never thought he could be so{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(easy)knocked down. I shouldn't have left him here at all."

    "I'm sorry that's all you see. Don't you see {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have."

    If each time you are knocked down and you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud {#blank#}10{#/blank#} yourself.

    Last week, seven-year-old Charlotte Benjamin {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) a household name, and a hero to young girls everywhere, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} her handwritten letter to the LEGO company went public.

    In her letter, Charlotte complains about the lack of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (diverse) in Lego characters. Here's what she wrote:

    "Dear Lego company,

    My name is Charlotte.

    Today I went to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} store and saw Legos in two sections — the girls' pink and the boys' blue. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} all the girls did was to sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, and even swam with sharks.

    I want you to make {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (many) Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun, OK?

    Thank you.

    From Charlotte"

    Charlotte's dad loved her well-written letter {#blank#}7{#/blank#} much that he had it sent to the website, Sociological Images, which posted it to their Twitter account. The letter has been posted almost 2,500 times and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (share) over 5,000 times on Facebook.

    Yesterday, LEGO responded to Charlotte {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (state) that they would include more female characters and themes, and that they have added new characters to the LEGO world {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (balance) the appeal of their themes.

    There are four ways {#blank#}1{#/blank#}which British and American English differ from each other. The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary. There are a few {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(differ) in grammar, too. The British say Have you got…? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Americans prefer Do you have…? The British use prepositions {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Americans sometimes omit them. The other two areas in which the two varieties are different are spelling and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(pronounce). However, with communications {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(develop) {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(steady) for over a century, some experts believe that the two varieties {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(move) closer together due to satellite TV and the Internet. English {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(speak) with different accents; in the future, there are going to be many "Englishes". In spite of this, users of English will have no difficulty {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(understand) each other.
