    Dough figurine(捏面人), also known as dough modelling, is a kind of Chinese folk art. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(simple) made but of high artistic value. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(record) as early as the Han Dynasty. Dough craftsman draws materials based on the required. After a repetition of rubbing, twisting and lifting {#blank#}3{#/blank#}hand, and poking, cutting, and carving by bamboo knife, the craftsman {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(shape) the body and the face of the figurine gradually. Dressed up with hair accessories and clothes, all of a sudden, a vivid artistic figurine comes to life.

    One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen .Suddenly, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（find）that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son," Go to the Village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} too little."

    His son looked surprised. "I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} not save a bit of money?"

    "That would be a very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（reason）thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours," Nick said.

    Nick's guests,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied," The only reason a man would sell salt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

    "But such a small thing couldn't {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（possible）destroy a village."

    "In the beginning, there was only {#blank#}9{#/blank#}very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little ,always {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（think）that it was only small and not very important ,and look where we have ended up today."

    Wilbur and Orille Wright are brothers famous for inventing the first aeroplane. Their interest in flight{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(start) on the day when their father brought home a toy helicopter for them. It was made of paper and wood. The boys played with it until it broke, and then made their own{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(replace) it. When they were older, they owned a bicycle shop where they started producing and selling their own bikes. This provided them with the money to pay for their experiments in flight. Eventually, they built their {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fly) machine.

    I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. When he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask) why he was able to succeed, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} mother when he was about two years old. "I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling (溢出) the milk all over the floor-a sea of milk! I got {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (frighten) and I didn't know what to do!" he said.

    Instead of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(punish) him, his mother asked him to play in the milk for a while. Then she said, " You know, we failed in how to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(successful) carry a big milk bottle with two tiny {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hand) just now. Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle {#blank#}7{#/blank#} water to see if you can discover a way to carry it."

    This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(know) he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} were actually opportunities for learning something new. Even if the experiment "doesn't work", we usually learn something {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(value) from it

    Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine？{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stare) at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (low) home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.

    A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (throw) up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.

Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage（房贷） lending and an unavoidable house-price crash— {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.

    As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When {#blank#}7{#/blank#} some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes. That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pay) off an entire house？

    Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We {#blank#}9{#/blank#} rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.

    Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) sense.
