A poor young man went to Paris, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect) that his father's friend could help him find a   business for living.

    “Are you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (well ) at maths?” his father's friend asked him.

    The young man shook his head.

    “How is your history?” “What {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your law(法律)?”

    The young man lowered his head {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sad).

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} his father's friend asked again and again, the young man could shake his head. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (him) couldn't find out any advantages.

    “Then write down your address first.”

    The young man wrote his address and turned to leave, but he was stopped by his father's friend. “Your name is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) very beautifully, which is your advantage. You shouldn't satisfy yourself with finding a job for living.”

    Many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (year) later, the young man wrote the classical works that were well-known in the world. He was Alexandra Dumas(大仲马), a famous French writer in the 18^th century.

    In the world, there are many ordinary persons {#blank#}9{#/blank#} all have many small advantages, but they can't find them. In fact, there is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} gold mine(矿井) in every ordinary life. If you are willing to dig, you will dig out treasures that surprise yourself.

    Mr Beckman is an engineer. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (work) in a company. His job is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (copy)all the documents the manager writes. His office is on the first floor and the light in it is always poor. So his eyesight {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (become) poorer and poorer. He has to wear a pair of glasses when he is working. Of course, it brings him a lot of trouble. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (not see) anything clearly without glasses. Sometimes he can't recognize his wife when they meet with each other in the street.

    The man looked tired this evening. After supper he went to bed while his family {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(watch) TV. Mrs Beckman didn't turn off the television until the interesting TV play was over. She came into their bedroom in the dark at half past ten. As soon as she lay down, she heard a great noise under the bed. She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (understand)a mouse came in again. She jumped off and had to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (turn)on the light and try to beat it with a stick. She made some noise and it made her husband {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wake) up.

    "You have never worn glasses when you were sleeping before," the woman said in surprise. "But why are you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wear) them this time?"

    "Well, dear," said the man. "I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have) a lot of dreams last night. I saw my parents, but I couldn't see them clearly. So I have to do so!"
