Jack was a rich young man. One day, he was driving very happily down a street. Suddenly from his car came a terrible sound. He felt {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, so he stopped his car and looked around. He saw a child standing nearby with a few small stones in his hand. He jumped {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the car and found a dent (凹痕) in the door. He was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that he caught the boy and shouted at him, "Who are you? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} did you throw a stone at my new car?"

    "Please, sir, please… I'm sorry! But I didn't know what else to do!” said the child. "I threw the stone because I wanted to get you to notice me. I need your {#blank#}5{#/blank#}!"

    Recently, a very simple sentence, "Amazing, my motherland" has become wildly known in China. As we know, China has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} quickly these years and it has become one of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} important countries in the world. Foreigners pay more {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to this ancient eastern country-China.

    Lily, an Australian girl, has lived in China since three years ago. She is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in a university in Nanjing now. Great changes make her amazed. "I think finding jobs is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in China than that in Australia. I will work her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I finish my school work in Nanjing" Lily said.

    In Nanjing, we can find new buildings{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The great changes are much more than {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. The achievement is so surprising. China is developing the trade and the friendship with other {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. China is playing{#blank#}10{#/blank#} important role in the world.

    At 9 a.m., pet owners start to arrive with their sick pets. Appointments take up the whole morning. At midday, I stop for two hours. I don't examine any new sick animals. I use these two hours to{#blank#}1{#/blank#}and do all my paperwork. At 2 p.m., I start to see sick animals again. At 5 p.m., three students from a local school who love animals arrive to help out. They are very{#blank#}2{#/blank#}and warm-hearted. I am always happy to see their smiling faces!

    From5 p.m. to 7 p.m., I continue to see sick animals. Then, at 7 p.m. we close our doors and the clean-up begins! We tidy the clinic and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}and clean the animals. Of course, we also stroke(轻抚) them and give them hugs! Then, we turn off the lights and go home. This is the type of the day I want to have.

    I am very happy being a vet, though unexpected things sometimes{#blank#}4{#/blank#}!

    It seems that everybody tells lies-well, not big lies, but what we call "white lies". Telling white lies isn't that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Here are some ways they do it.

Giving false excuses:

    Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, so you say you're busy.

    Lying to make someone feel good:

    Often we say something different from the facts to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You{#blank#}4{#/blank#}say, "Umm, this is delicious!"
