My grandfather is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(retire) worker. On summer evenings, we often sat together outside the house {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(enjoy) the cool air. It  was the time that he told me lots of his experiences before liberation.

        When my grandfather was fourteen years old, he worked in a coal mine. One day, when he and his two workmates were working in the tunnel, an{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fortune) thing suddenly happened. A part of the tunnel fell down, and they were shut init. They had no food {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(eat). When they were hungry, they only drank some water there. It was very cold in it. In order to keep warm, they hugged one another. In the darkness, they didn't know whether it was day{#blank#}5{#/blank#}night, they only felt they had stayed there for a very long time. They were too hungry to speak or move, and thought they{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(die). At last, the tunnel{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(dig) through. They weresaved. They had been there for fourteen days! My grandfather said they weren't let out at once. If{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, they would have died. They were kept at the entrance to the tunnel {#blank#}9{#/blank#}it was very dim, and they were fed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} some thin porridge. After a day or two, they had recovered a bit, and they were helped out.

    Suddenly, wildlife is good for the tourist trade. And tourism—{#blank#}1{#/blank#} it takes only pictures and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} only footprints—is good for the national parks. If wildlife can be seen to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} its way, then its {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} will be much greater.

    April Fool's day is a day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people can play jokes on others. No one knows for sure how this holiday began. Some English people hold the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (believe) that it began on the day during the 1200s. At that time, King John of England was in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly. The citizens of one farm village were aware of this. To protect their grass and farms from being destroyed, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of soldiers to inform the villagers to remove the fence. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hearing that, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the soldiers arrived, the villagers ran around and shouted wildly with things {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (throw) away everywhere, behaving as if they {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go) mad. The soldiers reported to the king that they were so mad as to be beyond punishment. The villagers saved their farmland {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (success) by tricking the king. Now April's day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (remain) in fashion, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the tradition only allows tricks from midnight to noon on April 1st. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon act as {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fool) themselves and are usually laughed at.

    It's never easy for {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Asia athlete to shine in track and field events. But Su Bingtian 28,  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. (know) as the "Chinese flying man", became the first male Chinese sprinter to win a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (globe) medal in an individual event. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}March 3, he took the silver in the men's 60m final at the World Indoor Championships in the UK. In the final, Su Bingtian ran his personal best of 6.42 seconds,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (break) the Asian record of 6.43, which he also set last month in Germany.

    The last time a Chinese athlete achieved a milestone was in 2004, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . Liu Xiang won a gold medal in Athens in the 110m hurdles. Inevitably, Su{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(compare) to Liu. "Liu Xiang is my idol and also my friend," Su told Xinhua News Agency.

    As a matter of fact, Su had expected {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (win) a bronze during the final. "There is no difference between silver {#blank#}9{#/blank#}bronze. Even a bronze could prove that Chinese sprinters have made breakthroughs in major world {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(compete)," he said.

Son {#blank#}1{#/blank#} approaches the table in the living room when Grandfather and Father were playing chess, and asked Father {#blank#}2{#/blank#} with him. Father agreed, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} soon Father became angry, for Son planned not to go to college but to focus {#blank#}4{#/blank#} music. Therefore, a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} discussion happened between them. Father wanted Son to be a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, which could make Son {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and have a good income. However, Son refused Father's advice. At that time, Grandfather told them to calm {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and suggested that Son think carefully before {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in with both feet. Son took Grandfather's advice and wanted to have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} try.
