—My parents.

     Once there were six blind (失明的) men. They often heard of elephants, but never knew what they {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .One morning, when they knew that a man was riding an elephant down the road, they asked the man to stop so that they could "see" it. They thought that by {#blank#}2{#/blank#}it they could learn what kind of animal it was.

    The first man put his both {#blank#}3{#/blank#}on the elephant's body. "It is like a wall (墙)," he said.

   The second man only touched the elephant's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .It is not like a wall at all" he said "It's more like a spear(矛)

    The third man touched the elephant's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} nose. You are not righht" he said. This elephant is like a(n){#blank#}6{#/blank#}

    The fourth man touched one of the elephant's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}"Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is round and tall like a tree."

    The fifth man was very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and touched the elephant's ear. "This animal is like a big fan (扇子)," he said.

    The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}man touched the elephant's tail (尾巴). He said, "The elephant is like a rope."

    They all {#blank#}10{#/blank#}each other. The elephant" moved on and the six blind men still talked about it……

    A man made a nice talking machine. It could weigh people's weight. The man wanted to try the machine{#blank#}1{#/blank#} he could make a lot of them.

    He put the machine into the waiting room of a train station. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} always lots of people in and out.

    The first one who used the machine was{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Indian woman. She{#blank#}4{#/blank#} on the machine. The machine thought for a few seconds to decide which language to speak.

    “Good morning, madam,” it said in Indian. “Your weight is 62 kilos. That's three kilos{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If you eat more fruit and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} you will be soon all right. Please have a nice day.

    The {#blank#}7{#/blank#} one to use the machine was a Chinese girl. She stood on the machine and waited to hear her weight.

    “Good morning, Miss,” the machine said in Chinese. “{#blank#}8{#/blank#}weight is 48 kilos. It's all right for your age and height. Go on to eat {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you eat every day. Please have a nice day.

    The third one to use the machine was a very fat American woman. She thought for a long time to stand on the machine. The machine spoke {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in English, “Good morning. Will one of you get off?”

    During the summer holidays there will be a changed schedule of services for the students, for example, changes for dining room and library service hours. Weekly film and concert schedules will be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} each Wednesday outside the student club.

    In the summer holidays, buses going to the town {#blank#}2{#/blank#} will leave the gate every two hours during the day. The dining room will serve {#blank#}3{#/blank#} meals a day from 7: 00 a. m. to7: 00 p. m. during the week and two meals from noon to 7: 00 p. m. on weekends. The library will be open at its usual hours during the week, but have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend hours are from noon to 5: 00 p. m. Students must have a new summer card if they want to use the library lending services.
