A man got lost while driving through a country. As he tried to read a map, he drove off the road into a ditch(沟渠) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (luckily). Though he wasn't injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud(泥). So the man had got to walk to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} nearby farm to ask for help.

  “Warwick can get your car out of that ditch,” said the farmer, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (point) to an old mule(骡). The man looked at the weak mu le and the farmer {#blank#}4{#/blank#} just stood there repeating, “Yep, old Warwick can do the job.” The man thought he had nothing to lose. Therefore, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} took the old man and Warwick to the ditch.

    The farmer hitched(套住) the mule to the car and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (shout), “Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!” And the mule pulled the car from the ditch {#blank#}7{#/blank#} very little effort.

The man was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (amaze). He thanked the farmer and asked, “Why did you call out all of those other names {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you called Warwick?” The farmer smiled and said, “Old Warwick is just about blind. Once he believes he's part of a team, he won't min d {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pull).”

    My husband and I were paying a visit {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my parents in Tucson. We went to a fast-food restaurant for dinner together. My husband went to the counter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (order) dishes and I stood with my parents.

    My dad is 90 years old. He can hardly see very well and walks with a stick. I was scanning the restaurant, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wait) to sit at the first table that was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (convenient) than others. A woman who was sitting with her son made eye contact with me and asked me to come to her. With a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(puzzle) look on my face, I pointed to myself and said , “Me ?” She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (nod) and said, “Yes, you.” I walked to the table and she said, “Bring your family here. I can finish eating at the counter. My son is in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} hurry to leave anyway.” My eyes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fill) with tears as she wiped down the table and guided my dad to the seat.

    I always believe that there are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (nature) kind people in this world. This woman has set a good example to her son, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is a really lucky guy.

    In Hangzhou, borrowing books from the library is now as simple as shopping online: click, pay{#blank#}1{#/blank#} wait for delivery.

    The city's public library recently launched a program on WeChat,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} popular Chinese messaging software, enabling its readers to check out books online and get them {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(deliver) to their homes at low prices.

    To enjoy the “Hangzhou enjoyable reading” service, one first needs to follow the library's official WeChat account,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} provides a list of books. After picking books, borrowers are required{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (present) the information such as their library membership cards, cell phone numbers and so on. The selected items will be delivered by express within three days after payments. Each reader can borrow up to 5 books once and 20 books at most {#blank#}6{#/blank#} total. The books can be borrowed for up to 40 days. Readers now can borrow the library's most popular books in this way. The online books will be renewed and enriched {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (gradual) according to readers' borrowing habits and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (prefer). At the end of December, the library's old and classic books {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(put) online too, making the total number of books available and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bring )borrowers a lot of convenience.

    Traditionally, we usually get a general impression of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stranger) by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. However, in the age of social networking, first impressions are sometimes made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} looking at their profile photos on social platforms like Twitter or WeChat.

    These social images say a lot about our personality, according to a recent study, in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} researchers used a software to analyze the profile photos to find out whether there was a connection between a person's personality and his profile photo.

    The result reveals that open-minded people are more likely {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pose) with an object in their profile photos. Their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (excite) faces can tell how much they enjoy their experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic (神经质的) people tend to choose photos of objects rather than selfies to avoid {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) too miserable because of the strong social practice against a sad or angry {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (appear) in profile photos.

    Apart from the objects in profile photos, the colors used in them also show {#blank#}8{#/blank#} outgoing the owner is. For example, extroverts (性格外向者) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (find) to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality.

    Next time choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) first what kind of image we'd like to convey. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    What makes the sea tum red and causes thousands of fish to die？As far back as anyone could remember, the blame was placed on the "red tides." In 1947, scientists finally connected the red tides with a microscopic sea organism(有机体){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call)the dinoflagellate.

    The dinoflagellate is so tiny {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 6, 000 of these organisms may be contained in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} single drop of water. It stands on the borderline between plant and animal in its classification, it produces its own food, as plants do. But it moves {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(free)and eats other organisms, as animals do.

    Dinoflagellates are normally only one of the many kinds of organisms found in plankton. Plankton is the name given to all very small {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(form)of sea life. However, when the air and water {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be)calm and warm, dinoflagellates multiply with {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(amaze)sped. The surface of the water appears {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cover)with a red carpet.

    The dinoflagellates give off a poison. Many fish die. Their bodies are washed up on the beach. Beaches are not fit {#blank#}9{#/blank#} any use. Fish that are not killed may become {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(poison)to animals or people who eat them. Commercial fishing comes to a stop.

    As dinoflagellates consume all the food and oxygen in an area, they die. After a time, the sea returns to normal. But when conditions are right, the red tide comes again.
