Ask three people to look out of the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(chance) are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} three people who look out of the window, one may say that he sees a policeman {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(three) may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. Perception is the mind's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interpret) of what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.

    Many psychologists today are working to try {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(determine) just how a person experiences or perceives the world around. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they can control all of the factors.  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(total) different things about the same scene.

    Adversity(逆境) can beat you down, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}probably it also has the ability to make you stronger. The impact and ultimate result depend on {#blank#}2{#/blank#}you do with the difficulties that come in your way.

    Beethoven composed one of his {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(great) works after going deaf. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote The History of the World during his thirteen-year imprisonment. Had Columbus turned back, no one could{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(blame) him. Of course，no one would have remembered{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, either. Abraham Lincoln made great achievements by his display of wisdom during the Civil War.

    Eventually，consider a more recent example. For sixteen years, Mary Groda-Lewis had a difficult time in recognizing and comprehending the written words on account of a learning disorder. She{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(put) in prison on two different occasions and almost died of a stroke when{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bear)a child. Committed to going to college, she did a variety of odd jobs to save money. When she graduated from high school at eighteen, she was considered as an outstanding and finally entered college {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success). Determined to become a doctor，she received many medical school{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(reject) before Albany Medical College finally accepted her. In 1984，Dr. Mary Groda-Lewis，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}was thirty-five years old then, graduated with honors and realized her dream.

    Every four years, millions of people gather in summer {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(watch) soccer games. This year, the World Cup kicked off on June 14 in Russia.

    Specially prepared for the most exciting sporting event, Live It Up, the official World Cup song, was released on May 25. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(perform) by US artists Nicky Jam, Will Smith, and Albanian singer Era Istref, the song has a line that goes, "One life, live it up,  because we got one life."

    With a great melody(旋律)and attractive lyrics, the song stands for "the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(excite), the celebration and the unity {#blank#}4{#/blank#} people all over the world would share during the 2018 World Cup". In fact, the relationship between soccer and music {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (grow) stronger and stronger since the first official World Cup song came out in 1966. As a newspaper The Telegraph said, "Listening to inspiring music encourages people to take more risks."

    One of the greatest soccer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (coach), Giovanni Trapattoni, even believes that listening to music can teach players great lessons. "It is the intervals(中间休息), speed, and rhythm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} help you learn the logical skills you need to read a game." he said.

{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（actual）, the right music can make all the difference. As Colombian musician Juanes said, soccer and music have a lot {#blank#}9{#/blank#} common. "You need your feet for soccer and you need words for music, but they make us think of one and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same thing— passion."

    The year of 2014 was pretty tough for Stevens. Unfortunate{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(event) happened to him one after another. He lost all his wealth and couldn't pay for his insurance, but there was even {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bad) news to come. He had skin cancer, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}made him ready to give up.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lucky), he managed to find a job later and moved into a new home. It was then that Stevens seemed to turn a corner and realized his life was still worth {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fight) for. He wrote in his blog, "My wife had told me many times she wished she could visit New York one day. She also wished we had had a place{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(exercise) outside and watched our daughters playing." He decided to put his plan into {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(act) — building a garden. To make a surprise for his wife, Stevens sent her off for a trip to New York City.

    Then, he went crazy building the garden. After ten days, all the work {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pay) off. It made a big difference to Stevens' life. He wrote, "The kids love  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) new space. And I feel strangely{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (satisfy) to build this, which inspires me to keep going."

    Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion（输血）{#blank#}2{#/blank#}her 5-year-old brother,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to fight the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ill).

    The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for a moment {#blank#}5{#/blank#}taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I'll do it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}it can save Liz.”

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(see) the color returning to her cheeks. Then {#blank#}9{#/blank#}face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”

Being young, the boy had{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(understand) the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.
