Mr Black was over fifty years old.  He sometimes made some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (mistake) in his work, and he lost his work. So he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (have) lots of free time to do something. Then he often met his old friends under a big tree. There they talked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} anything they liked.

    One day, some old men were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sit) together again and talking about young people in this world. They all agreed that the old people were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clever) than young people. Then one of the old men said that young {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(man) were stronger than old men. All of them agreed that this was true, but Mr Black didn't. He said, "No, now I am as strong as when I was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} young man." His friends were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise) at what he said.

    "Well," said Mr Black. "Near my house, there is a big stone. When I was a young man, I tried {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (move) it, but I couldn't because I was not strong enough. I am an old man now, and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I try to move it, I still can't. So I am as strong as when I was young. "

    A meteorite（陨石）almost {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（hit）an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in the UK while he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（work）on the farm. The meteorite was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（big）in the past 26 years in the UK. It weighed（重）one kilo, and might be over4, 000, 000, 000 years old.

    “I heard the big noise in the air. I looked up and saw something falling from the sky to the ground（地面）{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（heavy）. "he said, "I had a bad {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（feel）about it at that time. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}first I thought it was a plane. ”

    Meteorites are small things from the space. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}about 3, 500 meteorites may fall on the earth every year, only very few of these {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（fall）rocks are found. Mr. Pettifer's meteorite is the fifth to fall in the UK {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the year of 1939.

    Mr. Pettifer is glad. "When you think about it coming from so far away. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}really is something strange."
