    Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}owned(拥有)one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

    The reporter was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to them about being important.

    "How do we know if someone is really important?" the reporter asked the banker.

    The banker thought {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a few minutes and then said, "I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President(总统)of the United States is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}important."

    The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. "Do you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}with that?" she asked.

    The man{#blank#}6{#/blank#}his head, "No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'd only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. "

    The reporter turned to the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}man. "Do you think so?"

    "No, I don't." he said. "I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. "

    "Then what would make the visitor important?" the reporter and the other two men asked.

    "Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, "it's for you."

David: Excuse me, sir. Could you please tell me the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the Space Museum?

Man: Sorry, I'm new here,

David: Thank you all the same.

(Then David asks a woman for help.)

David: Excuse me, could you tell me {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I can get to the Space Museum?

Woman: Sure. Go {#blank#}3{#/blank#} this street. When you reach the traffic lights, turn left. At the end of the road, you'll see it.

David: It's very kind of you, By the way, is it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} from here?

Woman: No, it is very near.

David: Can I take a bus to get there?

Woman: Of course.

David: {#blank#}5{#/blank#} bus can I take?

Woman: You can take the No.17 bus.

David: Thank you.

Woman: It's my pleasure.

    Students these days often have a lot of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Sometimes they have problems with schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe{#blank#}2{#/blank#} thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. "Problems and worries {#blank#}3{#/blank#}normal in life", says Laura. "But I think talking to someone {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we{#blank#}5{#/blank#}worse."

    Robert Hunt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura." It's best not to run away {#blank#}7{#/blank#}our problems. We should always try to solve them." He thinks the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert like {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. So you are halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it.
