June came and the hottest month of the year began. A lot of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (travel) came to the seaside city. All of the hotels were full but Mr. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (John). The charge（收费）of the room was the lowest {#blank#}3{#/blank#} few people stayed there. The hotel {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (catch) fire three times that year. Most of the workers left there and found jobs in other {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hotel).

    It was eleven o'clock. Mr. John went to close the gate when {#blank#}6{#/blank#} young man came in, with a big bag in his hand.

    “What can I do for you, Sir?” asked Mr. John {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (happy). “The {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (cheap) room in your hotel.”

    “OK.” Said Mr. John, “By the way, may I keep your bag for you?”

    “No, thanks. There's nothing expensive in it but a long rope. I'm afraid another fire {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (happen) in your hotel. If it does, I'll throw the rope out of the window so that I'll be able to escape from it.”

    “Yes?”Mr. John said {#blank#}10{#/blank#} surprise. “So you have to pay the bill before you go to your room.”

    Jane's mother was about seventy, so Jane and her husband wanted to give the old lady a nice present for her{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(birth). She liked drinking tea, so Jane bought a small {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(electricity) machine for her. It could make tea and then wake people up in the morning.

    She brought it to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(she)mother on her birthday, and showed her how {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(use)it. "Before you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(go)to bed, put tea and water in it, "she explained to her mother, "and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(not)forget to turn{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the electricity. When you wake {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in the morning, your tea will be ready. "After a few days, the old lady{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(telephone)her daughter and said, "Jane, there is one thing I don't understand. Why do I have to make tea before going to bed? Can't I have tea in the afternoon{#blank#}10{#/blank#}in the evening?"

    More people join gyms in January than in any other month. But not all of them will stick around. So how do you make sure you find a gym you like, and more {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (important), one where you feel comfortable? From the moment you walk {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, it should be about the energy and the experience. Do they greet you? Do the people walking out look {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they're having a good time?

    Of course, there are more than 32, 150 health clubs in the United States, so {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (choose) the right one can take a little doing.

    Here are some {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (tip) to make sure you choose the perfect gym the first time.

    Find a gym close to your home. You can walk to the gym to do some sports. It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good) to drive less than 15 minutes. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you find a good place to park your car, your choice may be right.

    Visit at your prime workout time. Saturday afternoon may be the ideal hour to check out a gym. You can go and have a look at it. If it is very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (crowd), try another gym.

    Check for clean machines. Keeping things clean or not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (mean) the gym is good or bad. While you're visiting, watch to see whether there's a strict policy of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wipe) down everything after use. If not, try another gym.

—Sorry, I have to{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(clean) the room.
