{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lucky) , I had an umbrella, but I still got wet.

    A man was visiting a rich person's house. As he went along the road, he saw {#blank#}1{#/blank#}box of apples at the side of the road. He said: "I do not want to eat those{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(apple). The rich man will give {#blank#}3{#/blank#}some nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust（尘土）. He went on and came to a river. The river got so high, and he could {#blank#}4{#/blank#}get through it.

    He{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wait) for some time and then he said: "I cannot go {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the rich man's house today, because I cannot get over the river."

    He{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(start) to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want something to eat {#blank#}8{#/blank#}he was really hungry. He came to the apples, and he was happy{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(take) them out of the dust and eat them.

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#}throw good things away. You may be happy to have them later.

    Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the hallways. However, students in a British grammar school really enjoy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（run） on the tiles（瓷砖） of the hallways and their teachers even encourage them to do that.

    Why? It is because the hallways were {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（build） with special tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be generated（产生）. After one year, the electricity {#blank#}3{#/blank#}is generated from the tiles can be enough for 853 mobile phones to get full power again, or for an electric car to drive seven {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（mile）. It's amazing, isn't it?

    The tiles are really {#blank#}5{#/blank#}fascinating invention. Students can not only play in the hallways, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#}help power the lights in their school hallways and other devices（设备） in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（create）. They will be inspired to be scientists, inventors and engineers {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the future to find clean energy for all humans.

    The inventor of the magic tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is the CEO of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（he） own company. The hallway tiles are not Laurence's only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which can be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（easy） used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.

    Henry found a job in a bookstore after graduating from the middle school. He wanted to get rich {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he didn't want to do anything.

    It was a cold morning. It was snowing {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(heavy) and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy the books and the young man had nothing to do. While he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(watch) the traffic, a bag fell off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street.

    "It was full of expensive things." Henry said to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(he). "I have to get it right now, or others will take it away."

    And then, he went out of the shop. A driver saw him {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(run) across the street and began to whistle(鸣笛), but he was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hurried that he didn't hear anything, he went on running. The driver had to drive to the side and he hit a big tree. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(unlucky), he was hurt in the accident. Two weeks later Henry was taken to court. A judge(法官) asked {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing.

    "But you can hear me this time," said the judge.

    "Oh, I' m sorry. Now I can hear with one ear."

    "Cover the ear {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your hand and listen to me with your deaf one. Well, can you hear me?"

    "No, I can't, sir."

    "You are telling lies(谎). There is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (something) wrong with either of your ears." The judge said.
