As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games; for, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also develop their abilities to get along with others.

      However, most children are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(face) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (let) the children themselves find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (variety) kinds of classes, learning English, playing{#blank#}6{#/blank#} piano or practicing drawing, etc. What's more, some parents put away the children's toys which are very useful in developing children's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (imagine) and practical abilities.

      Here is a piece of good advice to those parents: {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the new surroundings. That cram (填鸭式的) education can lead to nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a failure in the children's growth.

Patient: Good morning, doctor

Doctor: Morning. What seems to be the trouble?

Patent: It's my vision. I can't see well at night, and when I wake up in the morning, it takes me a few minutes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I can see clearly.

Doctor: OK. I'm going to take a closer look. Just relax. How {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has this been going on?

Patient: A couple of weeks, I guess — wow, that's bright!

Doctor:{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it hurt when I do that?

Patient: Not exactly. It's just really bright.

Doctor: OK. Please, go on.

Patient: Well, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) down to the basement in my house about three weeks ago when I slipped and bumped my head pretty hard on the steps.

Doctor: Where exactly did you hit your head?

Patient: Right on the back. I heard a loud sound, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} everything seemed to be okay.

Doctor: You didn't get it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(check) out then?

Patient: No, I didn't. Well, a week passed, and all of a sudden I started to have problems {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sight. I first noticed it when I was driving back home from work. It's gotten {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bad) over the past week.

Doctor: I'm glad you came. I'm going to order some tests, and I want to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}appointment for you to see a specialist tomorrow morning. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope), nothing is too serious.
