Years ago, I lived in a house in a large city.  The house next door was only a few meters away from {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .  Through the window, I could often see a woman who I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} never met doing some reading in the house every afternoon.
    Several months went by, I began to notice that her window was dirty.  Everything was not very clear {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  the dirty window.  I wondered {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  the woman didn't wash her window, it really looked terrible.
    One bright morning, I decided to clean my house, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  washing the window inside.   Late in the afternoon when 1 finished all the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.  How surprising! I found that the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  window was actually so clean that she could be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} clearly sitting by the window. That was quite an important lesson for me.  How often had I looked at  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}    through my own shortcomings  (缺点) !
    Since then, I have been used to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  myself whether I am looking through my own dirty window.  Before I want to judge someone, I always think more than before and try to clean the dirty window so that I may see the world around me more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  .

    Many years ago, there was a family {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Franklin. They lived in Boston. There were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706, another baby was born. The boy's mother and her husband{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the boy a name—Benjamin.

    Benjamin was the cleverest of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven. The next year his parents {#blank#}3{#/blank#} him to school.

    At school Benjamin was good at reading and writing, but not good at maths. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#}all of his father's books, and when he had money, he always went {#blank#}5{#/blank#}books. He liked books. The books told him how {#blank#}6{#/blank#} something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} ways to help people enjoy life more. For example, he tried to know if there was some way {#blank#}8{#/blank#}farther, maybe with something on his hands or feet. Slowly a picture of swimming shoes, or paddles(划桨)， grew in his mind. The paddles must {#blank#}9{#/blank#}neither too big nor too small. And they must be neither too heavy nor too light. At last he {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the paddle for swimming.
