One evening {#blank#}1{#/blank#} old man came to a hotel when it was raining and the wind {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(blow) hard. He wanted to stay there. A young man said, "Sorry! Our hotel {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) full. "

    The old man felt sad {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hear) that and he turned around to leave.

    Just as he was leaving, the young man came up to him and said, "{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you don't mind, you can sleep in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  bedroom for a night."

    The next day, the old man gave much money to the young man, but the young man said, "No! You don't need {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (give) me any money because I just wanted to lend my room to you. "It's very kind {#blank#}8{#/blank#}you. Maybe one day, I'll build a hotel for you!" said the old man.

    Several {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (year) later, the young man received a letter from the old man, inviting him to go to Manhattan, the US. They met each other in front of a big hotel. "Look! This hotel {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (build) for you!" said the old man.

    I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than the common person. When he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask)why he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about three years old." I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(try)to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I dropped the bottle and it fell. spilling(滋出)the milk all over the floor-a sea of milk！I was frightened and I didn't know what to do!" he said.

    His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. "I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(consider)how to explain all this to you. Mum." he said. Instead of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}him, she said. "Robert, what a great mess you have made! I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(not see)such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has already been spilled, would you like {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(play)in the milk for a while? We {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(clean)it up after that." Then, he did so. After a few minutes. His mother said. "You know. Robert. whenever you {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up." He used a sponge(海绵)and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

    His mother then said. "You know, we {#blank#}9{#/blank#}how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let's go to the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(discover)a way to carry it." Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧)the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

    What a wonderful lesson!
