Before graduation, many classmates were busy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for jobs. So was I. It was very difficult to find a job in the big city. I had been {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for many times until I found a want ad for an editor. “If you could find {#blank#}3{#/blank#} than 10 wrong words in the newspaper, you can work {#blank#}4{#/blank#} an editor,” the ad said. I loved literature(文学) and had written several little {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for the newspaper. So I decided to have a try. It was the final date when I saw the newspaper. I told one of my roommates the news happily. After he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the news, he smiled and said “Today is April Fool's Day. It may just be an April Fool's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. A fool may take it {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.” I was very disappointed after hearing that, but I still wanted to have a try. It took me the whole morning to find 12 wrong words in the newspaper. I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} at the editorial department in the afternoon and got the job immediately.

    Later I knew I was the only applicant(申请者).I got a lesson from the experience: Something others said was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} may be not impossible. As long as you believe it, you may make impossible possible.

    Different people have different kinds of hobbies. Some like reading and drawing. Some like playing sports and some like collecting stamps. I have many good friends. They all have their{#blank#}1{#/blank#}hobbies. When they were young, they usually{#blank#}2{#/blank#}with doll. Now they grow up, they start to have other hobbies. Some of them go out{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a sport like football or skating. Some like collecting{#blank#}4{#/blank#}and stamps. Some of the most{#blank#}5{#/blank#}hobbies are watching TV plays and listening to music. I used to read books{#blank#}6{#/blank#}draw pictures. I could learn many useful things.

    People will spend a lot of{#blank#}7{#/blank#}training hobbies. Some of them may be{#blank#}8{#/blank#}in playing the piano for many years. While some others may{#blank#}9{#/blank#}their interests very often.

    Why do people need hobbies? I think a hobby is something we are{#blank#}10{#/blank#}of doing. The main goal（目标） of a hobby is to give us a break from our work or study.

    Last week I took a train home. My friend gave me her newspaper and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) there was an article(文章) I would like. I opened the newspaper. I saw a picture of a little girl and her mother, and there were some words {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the picture. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} "Mom, do caterpillars (毛虫) know they become butterflies (蝴蝶), or does God surprise them? "I was very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (surprised) to see these words. They let me remember something about myself.

    Two years ago, doctors told me that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was very difficult for me to be a mother. But I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (real) wanted to be a mom. Would God surprise me and let me have a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (child)? After two weeks, it was Christmas Day. My husband gave me a present. It was a butterfly ring. I liked it very much. A few {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (day) later, I learned I was pregnant (怀孕的). I had waited for four years. Finally, I had my own baby. Life is full of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hope). Maybe some surprises are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wait) for you in the future.

    In today's world, sleep experts often say that for a better night's rest, Americans should turn {#blank#}1{#/blank#}their smart phones or iPads before sleeping. Such electronic products make the brain more {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, and then influence their sleep. But according to a latest survey, more than 90% of Americans often use a computer or some other {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of electronic products in the hour before bed.

    Researchers find that man - made light from some electronic products at night may reduce the brain chemicals that help {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In the study, the researchers let volunteers read, play games and watch movies on a screen for different time while measuring {#blank#}5{#/blank#} much light their eyes received. They found that two hours of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} before a bright screen at night reduced the sleep chemical levels by about 22%.

    Then the researchers studied the college students {#blank#}7{#/blank#} often used computers at night. They got the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} results. And researchers say that may not only cause sleeplessness, but also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the risk of obesity (肥胖症), diabetes (糖尿病) and other diseases.

    To be on the safe side, the researchers suggest that we should use computers {#blank#}10{#/blank#} than before, or turn down our screens as much as possible before sleeping.

    We do not know when people invented wheels. But once it was invented, knowledge of the wheel{#blank#}1{#/blank#}quickly across the world. It is easy to move things with wheels. The first example of wheels dated from about 3. 500 to 3. 000 BC. The cart or wagon was the first vehicle which had wheels. At that time, they were pulled by humans or animals. Today, there are still carts drawn by animals in many countries. These carts are mainly used to move things or{#blank#}2{#/blank#}people. Around 2, 000 BC, the chariot(双轮敝篷马车)appeared. It moved even faster than the cart, so it soon became an important{#blank#}3{#/blank#}in the war and later was introduced to other ancient countries, such as Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome.

    The invention of wheels is very important to the{#blank#}4{#/blank#}of new transportations. Without wheels, the invention of bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trains, and planes may not be possible.
