Today I took part in a quiz show at a TV studio. When I arrived at  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eighth) o[clock, a woman put make-up on my face, and brushed my hair.

 Then the director came. He told me to stay {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (relax) and not to worry. It was really kind of him to do that. The hot lights shone down upon {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (we). One of the contestants passed out before the show started, so the director  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (choose) another girl. The girl was called Angela. She knew a lot of  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (thing). She beat me and another contestant and finally won the prize. Everyone was happy for Angela.

 I was sorry I didn't win, but I'll do{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (well) next time.

Dear Ronny,
　　Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how could you do so {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in your life? You're still active to your life, but I'm already tired of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for my life. How can I get the same thing that you've got?"
　　I didn't know what to say to you. But when I know there are few days left for me, I tell {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that I should give you an answer. So here is what I believe.
First, you should know that life is filled(充满) with{#blank#}4{#/blank#} , and many of them are good ones. If you don't keep your eyes {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , you'll miss a number of good surprises in your life.　　
　　When you meet challenges, don't run away, just welcome them. They'll make you stronger, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and cleverer than you were before. When you do something wrong, you should be thankful for the things it gave you. And then, you should use this lesson to help you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} your dream come true. It's also important to decide what you want. Then keep your dream , work hard for it, and be ready to receive it. It will come true more quickly.
　　And always follow the rules, even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life will work well. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you think you can live without the rules, you're only fooling(愚弄) yourself.
　　There will be more chances {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you are growing up. So you have to be brave enough to move from a known place to an unknown place. Life isn't just like climbing one mountain. It is also a part of your life to move {#blank#}10{#/blank#} one top to the next. If you rest for a too long time, you may fail at last. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the fight in your life.
　　The person that can win is the one who wants to win.
Love always,
　　Grandpa

A friend of his told h{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to go to the repair shop in town. So he did. The man in the shop f{#blank#}8{#/blank#} two dead roaches (蟑螂) in the radio.

    Bill started crying. The man, of course, was surprised, "W{#blank#}9{#/blank#} are you crying, my boy?" Bill cried and said, “Because the two singers died in my radio.  How am I going to listen to nice s{#blank#}10{#/blank#}?"
