I was on my way home with a friend yesterday {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I found a mobile phone by the roadside. After picking it up, I suggested that we go to the house in front of which we found the mobile phone. And we did so. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (knock) at the door and two young men answered. Neither of them had lost {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) phones, but as I referred to some names on the contact list(通讯录), one of them said he also had those {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(name) and that it must be the phone of one{#blank#}5{#/blank#}their friends. Then, he took the phone and said how wonderful it was that I took the time{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(find) the owner. Afterwards, I left without {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(leave) my name or address. I never considered keeping the phone. Instead, I immediately tried to find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} owner. And I believed that was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(exact) what I would want someone to do if I lost my phone. It couldn't have been {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good).

    Sometimes, helping others is just doing the right thing.

    He was a professor. At the age of 90, he still worked eight hours every day regardless{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the weather.

    His secretary said, “He was extremely old, but he forced himself to walk from his living place to the office through two blocks{#blank#}2{#/blank#}would lake him an hour to do so but he insisted because it made him get a sense of{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(succeed) .”

    One day, a university student{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(step) out of his office with a pile of books. He complained. “He always answers my questions with just a yes or no. However, he always gives me dozens of books and suggests me{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (find) the answer on my own.”

    By chance, the professor knew{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the student complained about. He explained to him with a smile, “This is the method I have learnt—the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hard) you work independently, the better solutions you will find. If you can make full use of the books, you will{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(probable) become a good lawyer in the future.”

    This 90-year-old man was Pound{#blank#}9{#/blank#}was the president of Law College of Law College of Harvard. He believed “all slopes are easy{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (go)”, of which he often reminded his students.

    One day, a father and his son were walking with their horse. An old man saw them and said, “You{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(suppose) to ride a horse, not to walk it!” The father then put his son on the horse.

    Soon they passed a group of people,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}said, “That's a lazy boy! He gets to ride the horse while his father walks.” The father decided to take his son off and get on the horse himself.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}they kept going, they came upon two {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (passer-by). One said, “You are a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (self) man! Your son has to walk while you get to ride!” The man then reached down and put his son on the horse with him.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a while, they entered a town. Everyone started to laugh at them,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (say), “You are too heavy for that horse!” The father and his son didn't know what{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(do).

    Finally, they decided to carry the horse. When they came to a bridge, the horse{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) to the water. “If you try to please{#blank#}10{#/blank#} ,” the father told his son, “in the end, you will please no one.” Then they went home.

    Chinese are the first people to have tea. One thousand and two hundred years ago, Lu Yu wrote a book called “The Classic of Tea”, which is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#}“The Bible of Tea”．The book gives a detailed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.

    However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it). Take green tea for instance, the ideal temperature of the water should be around ℃. If the water is too hot, nutrients (营养) in the tea will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (destroy)．On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leaf) won't open and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor. So Chinese people are used {#blank#}6{#/blank#} drinking hot tea. When you visit a Chinese friend, your friend will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (constant) add hot water to your empty cup of tea. It is polite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands. Of course, the guests should pay respect as well, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take)the cup with both hands.

    Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} saying: Wine full, full cup. Tea half, half cup. For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness. For tea, the half cup means modesty.

    Cambridge University in the UK acknowledged on Monday that it did consider a Chinese student's score on the national college entrance exams known{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the gaokao for new admissions. It also stressed that admissions are not only based on test scores but a comprehensive {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(assess)of each applicant. The response came after inquiries poured in over the last two days{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(follow)news reports claiming Cambridge started accepting China's gaokao scores from new{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(applicant).

    The reports{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (apparent) raised hopes of many Chinese students and parents{#blank#}6{#/blank#}thought entrance requirements to the storied university had now become somewhat {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(easy). Many netizens even joked{#blank#}8{#/blank#}they could retake their gaokao and get a better mark they would apply to the famed university. The university, however, says it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) gaokao scores for years, requiring a student{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rank) in the top 0.1 percent on the test in their province. Students also have to pass the still-required test, IELTS.

    In addition to Cambridge University, there are six other universities in the UK that recognize gaokao scores.
