For many young people, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) to university is one of the most important {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(stage) of their lives. It is the time when young people will move out of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) home to live with other people, often strangers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(especial) in the US, people often travel very far from home to study. It is a time to be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dependence).

    At university, you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (teach) by lectures and professors who are leading figures in their study. The opportunity to learn from and to discuss with them is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} drives some people to apply to university. Students are required to choose a major that they wish to study. Apart {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the academic benefit, life at university can also allow students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (develop) their interests in many fields.

    Therefore, university is a place {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you attain knowledge, to develop your values and accept those who may be different.

    One day, about ten years ago, while working at the cash register (收银机) in the gift shop at my University Museum of Natural History, I saw {#blank#}1{#/blank#} elderly couple come in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a little girl in a wheelchair. As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fix) on her chair. I then realized she had no arms {#blank#}4{#/blank#} legs, just a head, a neck and upper body, dressed in a little white skirt. As the couple wheeled her up to me, I turned my head toward the girl. When I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was giving me the most optimistic, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (large) smile I had ever seen. All of a sudden, her handicap (缺陷) was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} smile just melted me and almost immediately gave me a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (complete) new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bring) me into her world; a world of smiles, love and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (warm). I'm a successful business man now and whenever I think about the troubles, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

    A boy was born three months after the death of his father. When he was three years old, his mother married again and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(leave) him in the care of his grandmother. He began his schooling {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the village school. When he was 15 years old, his stepfather died and his mother came back with the purpose {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she wanted him to drop out of school and to be a farmer. But he didn't enjoy{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (do) farm work. One of his high school teachers found this and helped him go back to school to complete {#blank#}5{#/blank#}education.

    At the age of 19 he fell in love with a lovely girl and decided to marry her,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he became so interested in his studies that he didn't have time to be with his girlfriend. Finally, his girlfriend left him and married {#blank#}7{#/blank#} else. He never married all his life. He faced challenges everywhere, from{#blank#}8{#/blank#} he learnt to think deeply all by himself!

    He made a{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (success) description of why apples fall down from trees to the ground. Later he became {#blank#}10{#/blank#}famous scientist worldwide. Yes, we are talking about Sir Isaac Newton.
