    It happened at a weekend in the 1970's. Mum gave me two tickets for a film, telling me she was too busy to go together with me with the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(end)housework. She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy. At that time, a ticket cost only 20 fen. But to me, a little girl of twelve, 20 fen seemed quite a lot.

    I reached the cinema {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hurry). Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. Just then a handsome young man, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} noticed me and the ticket, came towards me with a big smile, "You've got {#blank#}4{#/blank#} extra ticket?"

    "Yes, "I nodded.

    "That's great. Say how much?"

    "20 fen."

    "Oh, " he thought for a while and then took out a ten yuan note {#blank#}5{#/blank#} his wallet.

    "I'm terribly sorry, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I've only got this note." Seeing I was confused, he added, "Then how about waiting for a while {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I have changed it in the cinema's store?"

    Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked very fast. I could hardly keep up with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Soon he disappeared. I stood there {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(puzzle). Suddenly I realized the handsome young fellow {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cheat) me."

    Before long I found that he'd sold the ticket to a little boy. He earned 20 fen, but lost his honor!

How to Become a Morning Person?

You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.

Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something {#blank#}3{#/blank#}matters.

It's not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(become) a morning person is more doable than you think.

I first learned that mornings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer's schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.

Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Getup an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.

But many will argue:I'm not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they're spending the hours before bed, they'll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don't mean {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn't like in high school anyway.

A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.
