    n America hitching a ride(搭便车) is very common. Many people there love hitching a ride during{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(they) trips. I also once hitched a ride when I was traveling in America.

    I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(drive) on the road when my car stopped. I was going to a town which was farther than I had expected. My tank(油箱) became empty{#blank#}3{#/blank#}I got there. Standing there, I didn't know what to do. I just knew that I needed help. But I could see nobody around. Who could I turn{#blank#}4{#/blank#}? Then I thought of scenes that I had seen in Hollywood{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(movie). I remembered that people in America loved hitching a ride. I told I myself that I could do that, too.

    So when a car was coming. I tried to hitch a ride. To my joy, the car really stopped in front of me. The driver was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}old man. After{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(know) my problem, he said he could help me out. He took me to the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(near) gas station. But then he left as he had something important to do.

    I couldn't walk all the way back to my car. Therefore, I tried to hitch a ride again and I{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(help) out once again. I was{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great) moved.

    More and more people live in large cities these days,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} means that it is becoming more and more difficult to find space and time for{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (we). But for many people, personal privacy (隐私) is very{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (importance). In many homes, a few minutes in the bathroom is all the privacy that is available.

    Teenagers especially need their own personal space{#blank#}4{#/blank#} home where they can feel relaxed and private. But, of course, not all teenagers{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) lucky enough to have a room of their own. Where space is short, they often have to share a bedroom {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a brother or sister. In that case, it's a good idea for them to have a special area or corner of the room to call their own. It is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (similar) important for young people to have somewhere to keep their personal things. This may or may not be a tidy place and it is not a good idea for parents to try and tell teenagers how{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) their space as this is likely to lead to{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (argue). Parents can, however, make sure that there are enough storage (存储) spaces{#blank#}10{#/blank#}as shelves, cupboard and boxes. This will allow the teenagers to keep their space tidy if they want to.

    Long before Barack Obama became president of the United States, he wrote a book {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call) Dream from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, which has since become {#blank#}2{#/blank#} bestseller. It is an {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(appeal) book that includes what he went through during {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(he) childhood. Obama has little contact with his father {#blank#}5{#/blank#}roots were in Kenya because he left home when Obama was very young. His mother got married {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a student from Indonesia shortly after the family moved to Jakarta. A few years later, Obama came back with his grandparents to Hawaii, where he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(attend) a private high school. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(study) at Columbia in New York City, he then entered Harvard Law School. This autobiography also touches {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(heavy) on Obama's exposure to racism. Readers will find his reflections of childhood {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(experience) which involved racial discrimination to be especially moving.

    When someone has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(deep)hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, studies {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(show)that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. "People who forgive show {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(little)anger and more hopefulness, "says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. "So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(feel) more energetic. "

    So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something {#blank#}6{#/blank#}gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don't wait for an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(apologize). "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things in the same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time."

    Next keep {#blank#}8{#/blank#}mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(accept) the action of the person who {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(upset) you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person's perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view.
