A big company wanted to find someone to work for them. Lots of young college {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (student) came to ask for the job, but only a small part of them were {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave). And this time, the company didn't plan to choose the right person as usual.

    Here came the day when they took the final interview. A big box full of papers was placed on the way {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (介词) the interview room, and a few papers were lying around the box.

    The {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (one) student came. He hurried along the way to take the interview. “Who put this box in the middle of the road？” the student said to himself, but he did not try to move the box away. Instead, he passed around the box and continued his way.

    The second student came along and did the same thing. Then another came, and another. All of them complained(抱怨)about the box {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (连词) none of them tried to move it. What's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bad), someone even stepped(踩)on the papers and left without {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) a look at the things on the ground.

    Half an hour later, a thin young man with glasses came. He was also among those who were left to take the interview. He saw the box and the papers around it. Without thinking {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (two), he stopped and began to pick up the papers and put them into the box. Then he managed to move the box to the side. To his great surprise，he found {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (冠词)invitation under the box. On it were the following words, “Congratulations, young man! You are the right person we are looking for! Would you like to join us？”

    Sometimes, you see, helping others is helping {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (you).

    A farmer had a brother in town. His brother was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} good gardener and had the finest apple trees in the town.

    One day the gardener gave the farmer a good apple tree {#blank#}2{#/blank#} asked him to plant it. The workers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (take) the tree to the farmer's house. The next morning the farmer began {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (think) about where he should plant it.

    "If I plant it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the hill," he said to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (he), "the wind might blow down the delicious fruit before it is ripe (成熟的). If I plant it near the road, people {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see) it and pick apples. But if I plant it near the door of my house, the children may pick them."

    At last he planted the tree behind his house. But it didn't bear any apples.

    He told the gardener about that {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sad). The gardener laughed and said, "You have planted the tree where it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) exposed to cold winds, and it can't get the sun there. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} could you get flowers and fruit? You have planted the tree with a greedy (贪婪的) heart and how could you get a good harvest?"

    I live in a quiet neighborhood. There are only two {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（street）in my neighborhood. One is Lincoln Street. The other is Jefferson Street. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a library and a small park between these two streets.

    Many old people like to do morning {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（exercise）in the park. I like to do sports in the park, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. It's a good place to play tennis. I usually go there{#blank#}5{#/blank#}my brother. Some old people often watch {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（we）playing there.

    You can see lots of young people {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（read）in the library. They read books there {#blank#}8{#/blank#}they can't take them home. I usually go there with Mike on weekends. We like {#blank#}9{#/blank#}our homework in it because it is quiet. And we often meet Linda and Tina there. After finishing our homework, all of us can go to the park to have {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（funny）.
