    "Because I have some falls(跌倒)," answers Jimmy.

    Like most July days, it was hot. I 1into a coffee shop to drink a cup of black coffee, It was a nice and small store with little round tables and chairs.

    As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted (扭曲) by some sadness that her face nearly 2 the tabletop. I sat down facing her two 3 away.

    "Poor woman," I thought." Why does God let people live so long past their prime (盛年)?"

    As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. 4the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had 5 in 70 years. In minutes, the two of them were shaking with laughter. I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, 6 a picture of myself.

    I was wearing a7 shirt.

    She was well dressed in white, with gold rings on her fingers.

    I was in 8 spirits. She was laughing and smiling. I was making my 9 come true. She had millions of wonderful 10 to recall(回忆).

    She was 11 the day with a good friend. I was 12worried about getting old. She was old, but it wasn't hurting her.

    As I left the shop, I 13 my foolish questions about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more 14 and more sensitive(敏锐的). Age has not bent her spirit. But I am always filling my mind with something 15. Maybe one day, I won't.

How many bicycles do you need in your life? For Chai Lin, the answer is 1,300 and the number is continuing to grow.

Bicycles first came into China in the 19th century. At that time, they were a symbol of having a lot of money. And later they became a common way of transport. When Chai saw some people riding a bicycle, he said,"They were like flying on the streets, and my heart went flying with them."Since then, he dreamed of owning a bike.

However, at that time a bicycle was too expensive for ordinary Chinese. To get enough money sooner, Chai began to sell his pictures in the street. With his own hard work and the help of his family, Chai got his first bike, at the price of 880 yuan, in 1979.

Chai Lin became a businessman years later and he could buy motorbikes and cars. ▲ He began to collect bikes of different brands and ages from around the world in different ways. Up to now, Chai has collected more than 1,300bikes.

With his collection growing, there was no room big enough to keep it. In 2009, with the support of the Gansu provincial government, he spent 200 million yuan building a museum just for exhibiting(展出) his bikes. After 10 years' hard work, the Gansu Sanmu Bicycle Museum in Lanzhou finally opened to the public in January 2019. People can go and enjoy the bikes for free. By 2024, more than two million visitors have been there.

"A large part of my collection is not yet exhibited and has to be kept in other places. I hope to expand (扩大) the museum for my bikes,"he said.

Many people draw on the paper, but few paint on stones. And that was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (exact) what Mo Wuying is doing. The artist from Chongqing has been doing this for more than eight years. And{#blank#}2{#/blank#} animals she paints on stones are truly lifelike. 

The poses of animals she creates {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (decide) by the shapes of the stones. Mo says it is an art form that requires creative {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (idea).

According to Mo, the first step is to draw the outline of an animal on a stone. Then she colors it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) lively. After that, she adds all the details (细节).

Driven by her love of painting from a young age, Mo has been improving her stone painting skills for years. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the beginning, she tried her hand at sceneries and characters. In the past three years, she has focuses on painting animals. Mo {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (finish) hundreds of stone paintings so far. "The longer I work on it, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (interesting) I find it," said Mo proudly. She sometimes even forgets to eat or sleep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the painting takes up all her attention. 

"{#blank#}10{#/blank#} is relaxing to paint on stones and makes me more patient," said Mo, adding that she would continue working on it.
