In Africa, when the antelope（羚羊）wakes up every morning, the first thing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} comes into his mind is, “I must be able to run {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fast) than the fastest lion,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} I will be killed by a lion.” And at just the same time, the lion{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wake) out of his dream, and the first thingflashing into his mind is: “I must be able to catch up {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the slowest a ntelope, otherwise I will starve to{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (dead).” So almost at the same moment{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the antelope and the lion jump to their feet, and start{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) toward the rising sun.

    Such is life whether you are an antelope {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a lion, you ought to dash forward without hesitation when the sun {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rise).

    The university I attend has about 3500 students. One early afternoon, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (walk) around the campus when I found a female student sitting on the walkway with tears on her face. Everyone just walked by her, so I decided to stop {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) her a hand. I dropped my books and sat down beside her. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} turned out that she injured her ankle (脚踝) and was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (able) to walk. So I told her that I would sit with her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} she was ready to get up. It only took a few minutes for her to calm down. Then I took her {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the hand and got her to the nearest hospital.

    She thanked me so much for just stopping! Since then, when we run into each other {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (occasional) on campus, she would smile and thank me again. And we have become good friends now. I am amazed that just my sitting there, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (offer) support and comfort to a total {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (strange) would affect her so greatly. She said she was grateful for what I had done, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} made her feel that she was not alone in the world.

    Wallace's giant bee is the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (large) bee, with a body the size of a human thumb and wings that can spread to about 2.5 inches.

Until recently, the bee had been seen by scientists only {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (two), once in 1868 and again in 1981.

When the knife you're using cuts your finger instead of the tomato, you might think it is no big deal. A small cut will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) heal well without medical care but any time the skin gets broken, there is a risk of infection. Here's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to care for cuts at home.

Stop bleeding by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (press) a clean, soft cloth against the wound for a few minutes. If the wound is bleeding a lot, you'll need to keep up the pressure for a much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) time (sometimes up to 15 minutes). If the wound is small, the bleeding should stop in a few minutes.

Clean the wound. Run warm water over the cut for 5 minutes. Then use soap {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wash) the skin around the cut gently and thoroughly. If there's dirt in the wound, remove it if you can—a soft, damp cloth can be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(help).Cleaning the wound helps get infection-causing bacteria out of the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (injure) area. If you can't get all the dirt out, call your doctor's office.

Dry the area lightly and cover it with gauze (纱布) or some other type of bandage. A bandage helps prevent germs from getting into the wound, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}can help avoid infection. If the bandage gets wet or dirty, change it right away.

{#blank#}9{#/blank#} is also necessary to take off the bandage and gently wash the injury every day. Watch for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sign) of infection. If it appears to be worsening or becomes swollen or red, see a doctor right away to treat the infection.
