An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London. "What's that strange building?" asked the visitor. "That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it?" "About 500 years." "In my country we can build it in five months." said the visitor. A short time after that, they come to St. Paul's Cathedral (大教堂)."Very interesting, "said the visitor, "How long did it take to build it?  Nearly forty years." said the Englishman. "In my country we can finish it in forty days." said the visitor. This went on all day. They visited most of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they saw a new one, the visitor asked what it was and how long it took to build it. Then he said that they could do the same things much faster in his country.

It was a fine day. People at the railway station were waiting for the train to arrive. The train was coming in. Everyone waited there to get into the train. A group of young men made loud noises to welcome the train. The empty seats were nearly filled and the train was ready to move. Just then,an old man with a little boy of 10 years old came running to catch the train. As soon as they entered the train,the train started to move. They had their seats just next to the young group. 

The little boy was so surprised to see everything. "Dad,the train is moving and the things are moving backwards out of the window!"he shouted to his father. A fruit seller went past selling apples. His father bought him some apples. "Oh,the apple looks much sweeter than it tastes,"the little boy said. "Is your son having any problem?Why is he so different?"one of the young men asked. Another young man made fun of him. "His son is mad,I think!"he shouted. "My son was born blind. Only a few days ago,he had an operation. It is the first time that he has seen things in his life,"the father of the little boy replied with patience(耐心地). The young group became very quiet and said sorry to the father and the son. 

 阅读下面短文,根据括号内所给首字母或汉语意思写出单词的正确形式(每空一词)。

 Three years ago, I started working at the University of Leeds and I was looking for things to do. I noticed that a community school was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(提供) Chinese evening classes. I paid fora beginner class {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(没有) much thought. 

I had no plans to move to China. I just wanted to learn a new l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} , which is also a good chance for me to know more about Chinese culture and Chinese {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(传统习俗). I used to speak fluent English and Spanish. But I think there should be a huge difference between learning something new as a child and learning as an adult. 

I had Chinese lessons {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(严肃). There was only one lesson a week and each lasted 90 m{#blank#}6{#/blank#} . Mr. Kong, the teacher, was energetic. For each class, he would teach us what seemed   like hundreds of new words. After {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(数个) months, I got used to this. Through weekly classes, my mind would reorder and make sense of the chaos. 

 There are more than 6, 000 international students. It was not difficult to find Chinese students who want to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(练习) English in exchange for Chinese. My new Chinese friends helped me go over everything I had learned in class. 

 Now I'd like to describe Chinese grammar as an easier one than that of English or Spanish. I am ready to overcome any difficulty and become fluent in Chinese.
