Patient: Good morning, doctor

Doctor: Morning. What seems to be the trouble?

Patent: It's my vision. I can't see well at night, and when I wake up in the morning, it takes me a few minutes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I can see clearly.

Doctor: OK. I'm going to take a closer look. Just relax. How {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has this been going on?

Patient: A couple of weeks, I guess — wow, that's bright!

Doctor:{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it hurt when I do that?

Patient: Not exactly. It's just really bright.

Doctor: OK. Please, go on.

Patient: Well, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) down to the basement in my house about three weeks ago when I slipped and bumped my head pretty hard on the steps.

Doctor: Where exactly did you hit your head?

Patient: Right on the back. I heard a loud sound, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} everything seemed to be okay.

Doctor: You didn't get it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(check) out then?

Patient: No, I didn't. Well, a week passed, and all of a sudden I started to have problems {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sight. I first noticed it when I was driving back home from work. It's gotten {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bad) over the past week.

Doctor: I'm glad you came. I'm going to order some tests, and I want to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}appointment for you to see a specialist tomorrow morning. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope), nothing is too serious.

    Ask three people to look out of the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(chance) are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} three people who look out of the window, one may say that he sees a policeman {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(three) may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. Perception is the mind's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interpret) of what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.

    Many psychologists today are working to try {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(determine) just how a person experiences or perceives the world around. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they can control all of the factors.  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(total) different things about the same scene.

To the woman and child who sat at table 9,

    My name is Tony Posnanski. I am the manager of the restaurant {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you ate a few weeks ago. The guests at a table close to yours asked to talk to me {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(obvious), they were angry. They said your child was so loud {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they couldn't enjoy their meal.

    When I got to your table, you looked at me and asked, “Do you know {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it is like to have a child with autism(自闭症)?” You were not rude when you asked the question. On {#blank#}5{#/blank#}contrary, you were quite polite.

    I know what I was supposed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(say) when I went to your table, but I just wished you a happy meal and promised that your meal tonight was on me. Although I didn't know {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to answer your question, as a father of a 5-year-old boy, I do know the feeling of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) a parent.

    I wrote this to you and your beautiful daughter because I wanted to thank you both. You have taught me a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(value) lesson and given me a great restaurant memory. Nothing can prevent me {#blank#}10{#/blank#}doing the right thing. Sometimes doing the right thing does not make everyone happy; just the people who need it the most.

                                                    Sincerely

                                                    Tony Posnanski

    A university in southeast China has a new server in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) canteen making noodles for the students. The video{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(show) a robotic chef working in the kitchen and making noodles {#blank#}3{#/blank#}dough (面团) at South China Agricultural University.

    It was given human-like facial features (特征) and can be seen{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（wear) a face mask, hat and chef's uniform. The robot was designed{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(improve) the traditional way of making “Dao Xiao Mian", {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is a specialty in Shanxi Province in northern China.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}traditional), a chef will hold a large piece of dough in one hand and a knife in the other before starting to peel strips(条) off the dough. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}dough will then fall into the pot of boiling water and cook into noodles. A student said: “I've heard that there are always long {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(queue) at the knife-cut noodle stall at the canteen."

    However, web users on Chinese social media said the robot chef{#blank#}10{#/blank#} （be） not something new. The use of robots in restaurants is becoming increasingly popular in China over the past few years.

    It was getting dark when I got home. It was cold and I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wear) a coat. I walked up to the door and put my hand into my pocket {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) out my key {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I couldn't find it. I suddenly remembered that I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(leave) it on my desk in the office. It really didn't make any difference. I knew my wife {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) at home and the children must have come back from school by now, so I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(knock) at the door.

    There was no answer, so I knocked again. I continued knocking at the door for some time. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(get) angry. Then I remembered something the office boy had told me at noon. He said that my wife {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (phone) saying that she {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(go) shopping in the afternoon with the children.

    There was only one thing for me to do: I had to clime in{#blank#}10{#/blank#} a window.

    Our cat was ready to give birth to her kittens. My son was curious and excited to see the birth of these new babies. The event took place yesterday. The cat {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(give) birth to one kitten by the time he arrived home from school. He was so amazed at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he saw. When the second was on its way, the mother cat began to yell very loudly. I saw tears in my son's eyes because he learned about the pain of giving birth.
