In a small house outside London lives an old man. People often see him look {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his flowers in his garden all the time.

    One day, a young painter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (go) by the old man's house. He looked at the nice garden and the special room, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (beauty) place. Suddenly he found the old gardener {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (terrible) blind. Shocked, he walked to the old man and asked, "Why are you taking care of the flowers every day which you can't see in fact?" The old man smiled, "I can tell you four reasons. First, I was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} gardener when I was young and I really love this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last, it's you."

    "Me? But you don't know me," answered the painter, still puzzled.

"Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I know flowers are gifts which everyone loves. And the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good mood," answered the old man,

    The words of the gardener warm me with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (please). He looked after the flowers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) others enjoy the warm sunshine in spring. He can't see the beautiful flowers he planted, just like Beethoven, who can't hear his wonderful music {#blank#}9{#/blank#} The old man is alone but not lonely. All of his flowers are his friends and neighbours. They {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (grow) in his heart. I believe that he can hear the voice of them.

    Mrs. Green has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} little son. He's Tom. Next Monday is her son's School Day. She wants to go to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (he) school.

    Today is Saturday. She is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a clothing store. She wants to buy a new dress. She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (have) a look at a red one and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ask) the salesgirl, "How much is it?"

    "It's one hundred and fifty yuan.

    "Can I try  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} on(试穿), please?" she asks.

    "Yes, you can. The dressing room(更衣室) is over there," the salesgirl says.

    After Mrs. Green goes out {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the dressing room, the salesgirl says to her. "You look two  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (year) younger(更年轻) in the dress.

    Hearing(听见)that, she says, "I will not  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( take) the dress, because: I don't want  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (look) two years older after I take it off

(脱下)."
