Most people{#blank#}1{#/blank#}get a text message from a wrong number either let the person know{#blank#}2{#/blank#}just ignore it—but this wrong text was one that the receiver felt he had to answer.

    When Mark and Lindsey Lashley had their baby boy,Cason Knox,one of their{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(relative) sent a group text message to let a few{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) know about the birth—but it turned out that one of the phone numbers no longer belonged to someone they knew.Dennis Williams,the new{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(own) of the phone number,responded to the{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (excite) baby news,“{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (congratulate),but I think someone got the wrong number.”

    When everyone else in the group text message realized what was going on,they laughed and apologized to this kind stranger for getting him caught up in the baby birthing news,but Williams ended up{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(surprise) everyone. “What's the room number...we have gifts,”Williams's follow-up text read—and the best pan is that he{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(actual) showed up at the hospital to welcome Cason.And they talked about turning{#blank#}10{#/blank#}embarrassing situation into a sweet one!

Tell him {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

He seems {#blank#}1{#/blank#} something.

    Good morning, boys and girls. I'm here today to share a good story with you. It is a true story about a poor boy, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) William Smith, had only one dollar left. He was so hungry {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. A lovely young woman opened the door. She thought he looked hungry and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (bring) him a large glass of milk. He drank it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (slow), and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me anything." She replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (kind)." As William Smith left that house, he felt much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (strong) physically and mentally.

    Years later, the young woman became seriously ill and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (send) to a big hospital. Dr. William Smith, now famous, was called in for the consultation (咨询). He recognized her at once and was determined to try his best {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (save) her life.

    After a long struggle, the battle was won. But the woman had to pay a lot of money {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the treatment. Dr. Smith, then requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on it. The bill was sent to her room. She opened it, and found a note on the side of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} bill in surprise, which read: "Paid in full with a glass of milk, (signed) Dr. William Smith."

Why Acting Is So Much More Than It Appears to Be

For many people, acting appears to be people talking while getting emotional, which is why so many people think they can do it. No one imagines {#blank#}1{#/blank#}waking up one day and being a professional singer or pianist. But for actors, they say, "acting is hard only {#blank#}2{#/blank#}one has to memorize lines, if I could remember, I could be an actor, too."

But acting isn't just about memorizing lines and talking in conversational reality. As Meisner said, "Acting is doing things truthfully under imaginary circumstances." If {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(understand) correctly, this definition is an ambitious and remarkable thing to strive for.

To do things truthfully, actors must acquire many challenging skills . {#blank#}4{#/blank#}these skills, the script will remain flat on the page, despite being recited out loud. To make a script come to life in a believable way, the actor {#blank#}5{#/blank#}make active choices.

Imagine for a moment how many different ways there are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(deliver) one single line. Even something as simple as "close the door" can mean so many different things and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(express) in so many different ways. The words are the writer's, but the behavior {#blank#}8{#/blank#}brings them to vivid life? That is the actor.

The goal of great actors? That's to act naturally. Good quality acting must always come down to a kind of naturalness that makes those acting skills {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(visible) to the audience. In other words, a good actor must not appear to be acting at all.

So do not be fooled into thinking that {#blank#}10{#/blank#}can read and speak can be an actor. The naturalness displayed by great actors is exactly what makes you think that way, but it took them years of training to get to this point. It is so much more than you know.
