By the time Jill got to a little town, every hotel room {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（take）. “You've got to give me a room somewhere,” he said to the manager at the hotel, “{#blank#}2{#/blank#}just a bed — I don't care where.”

    “Well, I do have a double room with one guest,”{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (admit) the manager, “and he might be glad to split（分担）the cost. But to tell you {#blank#}4{#/blank#}truth, he snores {#blank#}5{#/blank#}loudly that people in the next room have complained {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(late). I'm not sure if it would be worth it to you.”

    “No problem.” Jill assured him, “I'll take {#blank#}7{#/blank#}”

The next morning Jill came down to breakfast bright-eyed.

    “How did you sleep” asked the manager.

    “Never better.”

    The manager was impressed. “No problem with the other guy snoring, then?”

    “No, I shut him up{#blank#}8{#/blank#}no time,” said Jill.

    “How did you manage that?” asked the manager. “Did you give him some medicine to stop the snoring?”

    “No, I didn't. But here is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}I did. He was already in bed when I went into the room,” Jill explained. “I went over, gave him a kiss on the forehead, and said, ‘Good night, beautiful,' and he sat up all night {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch) me.”

    Tim Cook，the CEO of Apple，showed off their newest device，the Apple Watch．Mr．Cook said it was the most personal device Apple{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(create)．

    The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist．It can do many of the same things{#blank#}2{#/blank#}an iPhone．The apps are customized(定制) for the watch．It is different than just seeing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}is on your phone．

    Like a phone，you will be able to receive{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call)on your wrist．Mr.Cook smiled while{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(describe) this. “I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old，”he said. “The day is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(final) here．”

    The watches arrived in stores{#blank#}7{#/blank#}late April．They are sold at different prices，beginning at ＄349．Mr．Cook said the high-end model，the one{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) of 18-karat gold，is thousands of dollars.

    One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body，or nearby{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(get) this watch to function fully．Like a phone，it also needs to be charged each night. It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smart phone{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a smart watch.

    The saying “last man standing” refers to a(n){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(compete), contest, or other situation where the field of participants is narrowed until only a single individual remains. Occasionally, the term may be used to describe a winning couple or team rather {#blank#}2{#/blank#}an individual

    The exact origins of the term are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (certain). Some believe the term {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (original) applied to the last boxer to remain during a match. Others claim the term came from old - fashioned spelling bees, where participants either gave up {#blank#}5{#/blank#} were judged “out” and asked to sit. Perhaps the most widely use of the term is in connection with a tontine (联合养老制), an agreement in{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a number of persons collectively own something of value, often land. Interest in a tontine cannot {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (pass) to another party, so the last man standing, in this case the last person alive gets the entire interest. Throughout history, tontines have been dangerous investments.

    Today, the term is used in a number of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (situation). It may refer to the winner in any {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (give) contest. It may even refer to the last person to continue his attempt {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (achieve) a goal after the others have given up.

    The falling stars challenge, which began in Russia, invites participants{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(share) their best fake fall and recommend their friends to do the same, and people have been going to make their falls as dramatic as possible. At first, the falling stars challenge{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(regard) as a way for the wealthy to show their{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(possession). People were photographing themselves falling from cars, boats and even their own private jets,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lie) face-down with luxurious jewelry, expensive items from high-end brands surrounding them.

    However, as the challenge spread, it transformed from being a way of showing off to a creative way to show {#blank#}5{#/blank#}people consider important in their lives. The social media craze soon made{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(it) way to Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. A major difference with the Chinese version of the challenge {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) that professionals from different industries participated to show their daily routine. These include a firefighter lying in front of a row of fire trucks and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}officer at an emergency call center on the ground with documents thrown in all directions.

    While some pictures are intended {#blank#}9{#/blank#}fun online, Chinese authorities are taking it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (serious). Some people who have participated in the trend have received tickets for breaking traffic laws to get the perfect photo.
