A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher. These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.The teacher asked them the difficulty they had had. Then their talk soon turned to talking about the stress (d压力) in work and life, The teacher went to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many{#blank#}3{#/blank#}—China ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the coffee.

    When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said,“ Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for yourselves, and it is the source of your problems.”

    “What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup{#blank#}6{#/blank#} you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other's cups.”

    “Now{#blank#}7{#/blank#} about this; life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we{#blank#}9{#/blank#} to enjoy the coffee.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} don't let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”

W: What do you like to do in your free time, John?

M: I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in listening to music.

W: Oh, what kind of music do you like best?

M: Well, I like {#blank#}2{#/blank#}music that helps me relax after work. What about you? What do you usually do on your weekends?

W: I like watching movies. If you are free, would you like to watch a movie with me this weekend? The director is really famous.

M: Hmm,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} which movie. I only like movies that are funny. I just want to laugh and not think too much. You know what I mean?

W: Oh, in that case, I'll ask someone {#blank#}4{#/blank#} likes serious movies.

M: What's the movie about?

W: It's about {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the environment. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.

M: Sounds great! Have a nice weekend!

    When it comes to the holiday, people start to think {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they could spend it. Most people are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} from work, so they want to have a good rest and they choose a beach to spend the holiday. This is a great way to relax. People can play beach volleyball, swim in the sea, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the sun or just play the guitar on the beach all day.

    But some people like camping (野营) very much. So they choose a camping holiday. They bring some food, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and sleeping bags to a beautiful place. It {#blank#}5{#/blank#} be in the forest or near a river. People feel very happy.

    Many people choose different {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to spend their holidays now. This is a holiday {#blank#}7{#/blank#} their homes. They invite friends, sit down at the table outside and spend time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} fun. I think all of these ways of spending holidays are very fun.

A Cloud of Hope and Danger

    In 2050, a small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operating room (手术室). In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table. The cloud surrounds (包围) the patient, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} her body and filling her lungs (肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made of millions of microscopic robots {#blank#}2{#/blank#} nano-robots (纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell (细胞) to cell in the patients' body, destroying the cancer cells.

    Fighting cancer with nano-robots is only an idea today, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} scientists say that it would be possible in the future. Using nano-robots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to many of today's problems.

    However, nano-robots could be a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} risk as well. Since nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to 'many millions. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} this reason, nano robots will have to be programmed to build {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano-robots one by one.

    This ability to reproduce (复制) is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nan-orobots would be far {#blank#}8{#/blank#} than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nan-orobots could destroy the Earth.

    What should be done? Should we continue {#blank#}9{#/blank#} nan-orobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult {#blank#}10{#/blank#} that we have to make in the future.
