Some people live in the world for body while {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for dignity(尊严).

    I once took a walk along the street on a Saturday dusk, with a Pepsi can in my hand. An old woman in ragged clothes, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}was living on collecting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (use) cans, jars and tins, moved slowly towards me, with a bag on the back! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can. At that time, I hadn't finished my cola, so I gave {#blank#}5{#/blank#} several coins instead.

    She stared at me for a few seconds {#blank#}6{#/blank#} handed back the money. Quite confused, I asked: “Why not? Isn't that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you want?” “I am not a beggar,” she said {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (serious), word by word.

    Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended to help her, completely misunderstanding her. Thus I hurt her. What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her {#blank#}9{#/blank#} emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile {#blank#}10{#/blank#} satisfaction and gratitude in her eyes. The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man. I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson.

尽管这并不是像我们所期盼的那样一本好书，但是它仍然值得一读。

    A Shanghai policeman took on the role of son to help comfort an elderly couple, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} had lost their own son in a deadly accident.

    In 2003, Liang Qiaoying and her son {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(expose) to poison gas during an accident. The woman survived, but her young son was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lucky). And Liang was left mentally-disabled. Her husband, Xia Zhanhai, couldn't bear to tell her the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(true) about their son. Instead, whenever his wife asked to see the son, he kept {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(say) that their son had gone to work in another city.

    In 2010, while watching a television show, Xia Zhanhai was amazed to see an officer that looked {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(exact) like his son. He immediately knew that the young man was the answer to making his wife smile again.

    With {#blank#}7{#/blank#} help of the television station and the police station, the couple were able to meet the very policeman on a TV show.

    The young policeman was touched by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) loss and sadness, and said that he was more than willing {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(act) as the son. Although he still hesitated to call another woman "mum", his mother was happy to support his action.

Their "reunion" lasted just a few minutes on the show, but it had a lasting influence {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the sick "mother".

At the first light of day, Feng Tianqiong gets up to clean her Farmyard She runs an agritainment (农家乐) business and prepares local specialty chaihuoji, or roast chicken{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cook) on firewood.

The 60-year-old farmer{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(welcome) her first guests at 10 am, and one hour later, visitors pack out of her farmyard sealing area in the Three Gorges reservoir region along the Yangtze River, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(drive) from nearby cities for leisure travel during weekends or holidays.

Living in the Dazhou township in Southwest China's Chongqing, she{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(previous) managed to earn a living by farming. In March 2019, Feng opened her agritainment business after the local government built a landmark riverside 10-mile corridor and several tourist{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(attraction). These had spread on social media and become hot spots for photo shoots with their beautiful river views,

Last year alone r over 200,000 tourists crowded into Feng's town, leading to the emergence of 30 agritainment businesses{#blank#}6{#/blank#}three bed-and-breakfast venues in villages.

"It is all thanks to the government's efforts{#blank#}7{#/blank#}( promote) infrastructure (基础建设) and develop rural tourism," Feng says.

Human history begins with stories. Some stories are so important that they{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(pass) down for countless generations. And storytelling is a useful tool, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}gives a lesson much more powerfully than other ways. For example, once I had to tell actors to be on time for a performance. Instead of{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(repeat) the time over and over again, I told them a true story. "The year before, one of the actors was late. We replaced him so he didn't get a chance to perform." Then, no one{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) late again.
