Bill doesn't do well in public speaking. One day, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（invite）to make a speech at the church. His {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（young）brother, Ben, knew he was nervous and tried to calm him down. “ Don't worry. Everything{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) fine.”

    When the day came, Bill's car had an accident{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the way to the church. Luckily, he wasn't badly hurt and got to the church on time. It was his turn. When he stood up, his coat became tangled  (纠缠)with his chair. After a few {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (minute), he began his speech, but he was so nervous {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he dropped his book. Many people thought he would run, but he went on.

    Suddenly, people saw something{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (usual) running down from his nose, blood! He stopped {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （speak) when he saw the blood. But he still tried to finish his speech. Then Ben quietly moved to the front and handed him his handkerchief(手帕).Then he gave him a smile and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (return) to his seat.

    It was a really simple gesture, and might be the simplest. He just saw someone in need, and gave him a hand. In the end, Bill finished his talk{#blank#}10{#/blank#} more confidence.

    Plenty of people dream of going to Mars(火星).{#blank#}1{#/blank#}different from those people, 16- year- old Alyssa Carson has been working{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(happy) for that dream since she was at the age of 4, according to a news report which was made by the BBC a few years{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(before).

    Alyssa tells the BBC, "I hope{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(go) to Mars because it is a place that no one has been to before. I want{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(take) the first step." According to the BBC, she has attended the USA's three world space camps so far.

    Her father, Bert Carson, tells the BBC that Alyssa plans to be on the first long journey to Mars, which is expected to take place in{#blank#}6{#/blank#}year of 2033. "We are proud{#blank#}7{#/blank#}her," he says. "We have the next sixteen{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(year) planned out. "One of those plans is Alyssa attending the International Space University.

    Of course, Alyssa's dream may come with{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(big) sacrifices(牺牲)than others. If Alyssa goes to Mars, maybe it is very{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(difficulty) for her to return to Earth. Still, her father says, "If that's the only choice she has, she still wants to go." Alyssa agrees.
