I am a doctor. People often come to see me because they have colds or coughs. People {#blank#}1{#/blank#} come to see me because they are sad or nervous. Sometimes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} helps. Sometimes talking helps. But many doctors {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that music can help people feel better. I asked a few of my patients(病人) how music helps them. 

    "Sometimes I was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when I was a child. My family said, 'Play your feelings on the piano!" Sometimes I play aloud {#blank#}5{#/blank#} on the piano. Soon I feel calm（平静的）. I can laugh and cry through my {#blank#}6{#/blank#} on the piano. It's natural for me. It's like breathing (呼吸）." "Listening to music helps me feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. I like to listen to music and dance when I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} my house." "I play the violin. I like playing at night {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it is quiet. After playing I am tired and I am happy. I always sleep {#blank#}10{#/blank#} after playing my violin." Are you a musician? Good! Keep playing. If you are not a musician, listen to music and sing or dance. It's good medicine.

    Once, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} old lion loved a girl, so he went to the girl's parents with many {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (present) and asked them to marry (嫁）her to him.

    The parents didn't like the idea of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (give) their daughter to the lion but they didn't want {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) the lion angry.

    Finally, the father said, "We are glad to marry {#blank#}5{#/blank#} daughter to you, but can you promise {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (move) away your claws (爪子) and teeth? "The lion loved the girl very much, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he moved away his claws and teeth.

    On the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (two) day, when he came to the parents, they just laughed at him and drove him away.

    The lion was angry, but he didn't have claws and teeth. He {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (realize) that he shouldn't believe (相信）them {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (easy) and give up his claws and teeth.

    Ali and Hamlet are twin brothers. They both have short curly hair, but Ali looks {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (strong) because he plays soccer every day and he can run much{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fast). Ali is quiet, and Hamlet is a little{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (outgoing) and he likes telling jokes. Ali likes living in the city very much He thinks living in the city is{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (interesting) than living in the countryside. Hamlet likes the countryside, because it's{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (beautiful) there in his eyes. Ali is as{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hard-working) as Hamlet, but Hamlet always gets (7){#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good) grades than Ali.

    “Thank you” is widely{#blank#}1{#/blank#}in a modern society. It is a very good manner. You should say “Thank you”{#blank#}2{#/blank#}others help you or say something kind to you. For example, when someone{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, when someone says you have{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a nice shirt, or your city{#blank#}5{#/blank#}very beautiful, you should say “Thank you”. “Thank you”is used not only between friends,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.

    “Excuse me”is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}short polite usage. We use it the same as “Thank you”. When you hear someone say so behind you, you'll get to know that somebody wants to walk past you without{#blank#}8{#/blank#}you. It is not polite to interrupt (打断) others while they are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. If you want to have a word with one of them, please say “Excuse me”{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, and then begin to talk. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others. Let's say “Thank you” and “Excuse me” on the right occasion.
