In autumn，the days are shorter and the temperature{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  .

It's already midnight. Who {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  so much noise outside？

—What a mess your room is!

—Sorry. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it up right now.

He{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  his hand into the air to get my attention and soon I noticed him.

─Why are you in such a hurry？

─My father's car{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  down on the way. I have to go to help him.

    About a hundred people lived in a very small mountain village. It was very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} from the other villages and towns. They had few {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and none of them left the village. Of course there was neither electricity(电) nor gas(煤气) there.

    Once a writer{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the village. The backwardness(落后) of the village surprised him. He decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} about it to the world. So he took the oldest villager to London. The old man told all about his home and village to the people. Several months {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he returned. All the villagers went to see him and asked him how he had enjoyed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the city.

    “Everything is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in London,” the old man said, “I've {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to many good places and eaten all kinds of nice food and other things. But the trouble was I could not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} at night. ”

    “What happened to you?” his wife asked.

    “The{#blank#}10{#/blank#}was on in my bedroom all the time.”

    “Why not blow it out, then?”

    “I tried, but it was inside a little glass bottle.”

    In the old days, we had a lot of stories between brothers and sisters about how to care about each other. However, most of us don't know how important it is to care about others in{#blank#}1{#/blank#}world. Once, two brothers worked together on a farm. One was married (已婚的) and had a large family. The other had no wife yet. Although they lived in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}houses, they {#blank#}3{#/blank#} everything they got from the farm.

    One day, the unmarried brother said to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, "It's not fight that we share all the rice. There is only one person in my family, so I need {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  than my brother." So, every night he took a bag of dee from his store-room and went{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the field between their houses to put it into his brother's store-room. At the same time, the married brother thought, "It's unfair (不公平的) to share all the rice. I'm married and I have my wife and children to care about me when I get {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . However, my brother has no one to take care of him." So, he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to take a bag of rice and put it into his brother's store-room. A few months passed by. They found it strange that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} rice never became less. Then, one dark night the two brothers {#blank#}10{#/blank#} into each other. Slowly they began to understand what happened. Their bags fell on the ground and tears filled their eyes at once.
