In the past, it took a long time for people to find someone. Nowadays, however, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the help of online communities, people can get their search {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) within a short period of time. All they need to do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) get online and upload a picture of the person they are looking for, or share some basic information about this person. Because of the “footprints” people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave)

    online, other Internet users are usually able to find anyone{#blank#}5{#/blank#}they are interested in.

    One example of this is a man who beat a dog cruelly. His {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (violent) was recorded and uploaded online. In a very short time, the man was reported to an animal rescue team. In the end, he was punished and made to apologize. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} example involves a college student who refused {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (clean) up after her dog on the subway. Netizens revealed her personal information in order to punish her. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wide) blamed for her behavior, this girl left college eventually. Many people thus began to debate {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a “witch-hunt” like this went to far or not.

Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. This gift was the Amber room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber {#blank#}3{#/blank#} had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} popular in those days. It was also a treasure {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, which took the country's artists about ten years to make.

    The young artist and potter Allan had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Neither Allan nor his wife took the condition very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (serious), but the boy died suddenly that night.

    Knowing the death could {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (avoid) if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. Worse still, his wife left him a short time later,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (leave) him alone with his 6-year-old younger son. Unable to stand the hurt and pain, he turned to alcohol and became{#blank#}4{#/blank#} alcoholic.

    As the alcoholism {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (progress), Allan began to lose everything he possessed and finally died alone in a small bar. Hearing of his death, I thought, “{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a complete failure!”

    As time went by, I began to revalue my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (early) rough judgment. I knew Allan's now adult son, Ernie, one of the kindest and most caring men I've ever known. I hadn't heard him talk much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what {#blank#}8{#/blank#} earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Allan came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘love you, son'.”

    Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Allan {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a failure. He had not left any material{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (possess) behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.

So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. At first the English spoken in England between about AD450 and 1150 was different from the English spoken today. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.Then gradually between about AD800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. So by the 1600's Shakespeare {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In 1620, some British settles moved to America. Later in the 18^th century some British people were taken to Australia too. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
