—Yes, they took away all the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} there and became rich overnight.

Tim: Jeff, do you prefer working in a group or working alone?

Jeff: I'm good at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) by myself because if I am doing something I like, I can get it{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(do) quickly. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, if I am working with a team where people all want to do a good job, I think{#blank#}4{#/blank#} team is fun.

Tim: Do you prefer working wearing a uniform or putting whatever you want?

Jeff: I think {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you wear a uniform, sometimes you get respect.

Tim: So, how about a working schedule? Would you prefer a set time job?

Jeff: No. I think {#blank#}6{#/blank#}is difficult to do a set time job. Last year, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(produce) furniture in a factory. Every morning, I had to get up at six. When I got home{#blank#}8{#/blank#} work, it was almost eight.

Tim: You{#blank#}9{#/blank#} be very tired. By the way, do you prefer being paid by the hour or do you prefer salary?

Jeff: I think salary may be a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) way to go than being paid by the hour.

Dear Dad,

    On this date of your 50th birthday, Mom gave me the letter you wrote me when I was born 18 years ago. In your letter, you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wish) me to be strong-minded and successful. You were looking forward to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) me fight for my future bravely and do well for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and others.

    After reading this letter, I feel quite {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(shock) at your{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(expect) on me. I also feel shamed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}not having performed well to meet your demand. I still remember when I was in primary school, I failed to apply myself to studying. I was addicted to computer games. As a consequence, I soon became the last one in my class. You didn't abuse me at all. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the contrary, you taught me that studying was the most important object at the moment and encouraged me to study hard. Only {#blank#}8{#/blank#}I read your letter did I realize that I behaved so badly at that time and you were so sad to see I didn't do well for myself.

    I can't help expressing my gratitude and sending my best wishes to you. Wish you{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(health) and happy. I promise that I will spare no effort to satisfy your demand of being {#blank#}10{#/blank#}brave and successful person.
