There was a man who had four sons. He hoped his sons could learn not to judge things too quickly. So he gave them a task in turn,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) them to go to see a pear tree at a distance{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(separate).

    The first son set out in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}young)in autumn.

    When all of them returned home, they were called together{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(describe) what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bend) and ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds(花蕾)and full of hope. The third son said it was full of flowers{#blank#}6{#/blank#}smelled so sweet and that he had{#blank#}7{#/blank#}seen such beautiful scenery. The last son disagreed{#blank#}8{#/blank#}all or them, saying it was filled with fruits, full of life and content.

    The man told his four sons that they were all correct, but they only saw the tree in{#blank#}9{#/blank#}season, He taught them that the value of a person could only be measure when all the seasons were over.

    If you give up in winter, you{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(miss) the hope of spring, the beauty of summer, and the harvest of autumn in your life.

    Singles' Day falls on November 11th every year in China, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is recognized as a day for people who have no girlfriend or boyfriend. Couples and lovers have Valentine's Day in celebration of their love, but how about the singles? There must be a day they can celebrate even {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a partner. That's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} people created Singles' Day.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Singles' Day many singles choose to say goodbye to their single lives, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(attend) blind date parties, and some people even decide to get {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (marry) with strangers. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} this day has recently become more of a time for shopping, because many shops online will give customers great discount to promote their goods.

    More and more people are willing to shop online to get{#blank#}8{#/blank#} they want, and I am one of them. I just can't help {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(buy) things whether I need them or not. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(honest) speaking, some of the things that I bought have been put aside forever in my closet.

    If you have ever taken a handwritten prescription from a doctor or looked at the notes from your visit, it seems like no amount of squinting(眯眼) could help the letters get clearer. Bad handwriting almost seems like a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(require) for graduating from medical school. But it's not the fact{#blank#}2{#/blank#}only people with bad handwriting{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(attract) to the medical field. If so, why does it happen to doctors?

“In the medical field, if it's not documented, it{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(actual) didn't happen," says Celine Thum, MD, medical director at ParaDoes Worldwide. Anything you talk about behind closed doors needs written evidence for your medical history. Doctors have to write more than any other employee, for {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they can hardly write letters clearly.

    Long days plus tons of writing leads{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a very tired hand. If doctors could spend an hour{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(deal) with every patient, they might be able to slow down and give their{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hand)a rest. But the truth is that most physicians are rushing around to the next patient. With so many patients to see in a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(limit) time, doctors are{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(concerned) about getting the information down than perfecting their handwriting.

Living in a city can be stressful. But people in Bogota, Colombia have found a place to help ease stress and get a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(peace) break from busy life. The place is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(protect) park for hummingbirds(蜂鸟).

The park is at the top of Montserrat Hill. The area{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (contain) a forest which has turned into a quiet place for both people and birds. As the hummingbirds fly from flower to flower, some people take pictures with cameras or phones.

"Sometimes it doesn't seem real because we are close to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} city with the population of 8 million,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} create noise every day," said Camino Carter, a caretaker in the park. His job is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(mix) water and sugar that is put in bird feeders.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(visitor) to the park can see between 25 to 35 different species of birds. But ten years ago, the hill was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (complete) destroyed, and no trees {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave) on it.

Luckily, measures were taken by the government. Workers began to replant local trees and flowers to bring the forest back{#blank#}10{#/blank#} life.

Presently, there are 115 species of birds, including 18 kinds of hummingbirds in the park.
