A man walked i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a doctor's examining room. "Put out your tongue," the doctor said.   

  “OK. There is nothing s{#blank#}2{#/blank#},” the doctor said. "It's clear what's wrong with you.  You need more exercise." “But. doctor." the man said. “I don't think…”

    “Don't tell me what you think," the doctor said “I am the doctor, not you; I know what you need. I see hundreds of people like you. N{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of them get any exercise. They sit in the office all day and in f{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the television in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly at l{#blank#}5{#/blank#} twenty minutes a day.”

    “Doctor, you don't understand;" the man said “I.”

“There is no e {#blank#}6{#/blank#},” the doctor said. "You must spare some time for exercise. If you don't, you will get fat and have health problems when you are old.”

    “But I walk every day," the man said.

    “Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few metres to the office from your house, and a few more metres to a r{#blank#}7{#/blank#} for lunch and back.”

    “Please listen to me, doctor!" the man s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} at the doctor angrily.

    “I'm a mailman.”the man w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} on, “I walk for seven hours every day.”

     For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly, "Put your tongue out a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, will you?"

    Life is not easy, so I'd like to say," Whenever it is,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(相信) in yourself."

    When I was a young boy, I was too shy to speak to anyone. My classmates often {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(嘲笑) at me. I was sad but could do {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(没什么事). Later, something {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(发生), and it changed my life. It was an English contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(然而), my mother insisted, "Come on, boy. You are sure to win." Then mother and I listed many different topics(话题) and talked about them {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(一起). At last I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(决定)on the topic. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(百) of times. Also, my mother took me to her {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(外国的) friend for help. I could {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(几乎不) believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first prize. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. My classmates all said "Congratulations!" to me. What a happy time!
