There was a man named Ben. He made caps to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} money. One day he went to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} his caps. It was very hot. When he went {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a forest, he wanted to have a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . He came up to a large tree, put his caps on the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , took one of them and put it on his head. Then he lay down and soon fell asleep.
    “Where are my caps?” Ben {#blank#}6{#/blank#} when he woke up. He looked up and saw many monkeys in the trees. Each monkey had a cap on its {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .
    “Give back my caps!” Ben {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at the monkeys. But the monkeys couldn't understand him. Ben got very angry. He took off his own cap, threw it on the ground and cried, “If you want all my caps, you may take this one, too!”
    What {#blank#}9{#/blank#} then? The monkeys did the same. Each monkey took off its cap and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it on the ground. Ben was very glad. He quickly collected all his caps and went on his way.

        Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England. Rich and{#blank#}1{#/blank#} , young and old, you can see them all there, shouting and{#blank#}2{#/blank#} for one side or the other.
        You may be surprised to find that even the smallest boy seems to have the great{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the game. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of them and knows the results of many matches. He will tell you who he expects will{#blank#}5{#/blank#} such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
     In England, it is{#blank#}6{#/blank#} that education means not only filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom but also training character. One of the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} ways of training character is by playing games,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working{#blank#}9{#/blank#} himself alone.
    Football is good exercise for the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} , it is a team game, it needs skill and a quick brain. So the school often arranges games and matches for its pupils.

    Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about5, 000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling{#blank#}2{#/blank#} water over an open fire. Some {#blank#}3{#/blank#}from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious. And so, one of the world's favorite drinks{#blank#}4{#/blank#} invented.

    A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.

    It is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7^th{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. In England, tea didn't appear until around 1660, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} than 100 years later, it had become the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to speed the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are{#blank#}10{#/blank#} doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

When I was looking for a Christmas present for my daughter in a toy store, a nicely dressed little girl, with some money in her little hand, was looking at some beautiful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. When she saw a doll she liked, she would ask her father {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she had enough money. He usually said yes.

At the same time, a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, with old and small clothes, was looking at some computer games. He, too, had money in his hand, but it looked no more than five dollars. Each time he picked up one of the computer games and looked at his father, the father shook his head.

The little girl had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a very beautiful doll. However, she noticed the boy and his father. She saw the boy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a computer game with disappointment(失望) and walk to another corner of the store.
