What is the highest mountain on earth? Most of us think the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is Mount Qomolangma. But there is something that is three hundred and four {#blank#}2{#/blank#}taller than Mount Qomolangma. However, it is mainly underwater. It begins at the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the Pacific Ocean. Its {#blank#}4{#/blank#}is Manna Loa. In the Hawaiian language, Mauna Loa{#blank#}5{#/blank#}"Long Mountain". It is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}and most active volcano(火山)on earth．It has produced liquid (液体的)rock more than thirty{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Liquid rock is also called lava(熔岩). Today, Mauna Loa is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. It doesn't produce lava．However, volcano expels say it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.

    Once upon a time there was a man called Yue Yangzi in Henan who had a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}wife.

    One day, Yue picked up a piece of gold. Gladly, he rushed hack home to show it to his wife. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, his wife said, " I hear that a good man doesn't drink the water of Dao Spring (盗泉) and wouldn't pick up the things others lost. He would rather die {#blank#}3{#/blank#}food given by the people who disrespect him." Yue was very ashamed after hearing wife's words and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the gold off into the fields and went to study in a far place.

    One year later, Yue came back home. His wife asked him the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}for his return.

    Yue said, "I was homesick and miss you very much."

    Hearing this, his wife took up a pair of scissors and walked to the loom (织布机), saying,

    "To make cloth, I weave (织) the cloth with one after {#blank#}6{#/blank#}silk thread inch by inch. If I cut the cloth with the scissors, all my efforts are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Studying is also like this. You should get knowledge every day {#blank#}8{#/blank#}stopping." 

    Yue Yangzi was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}moved by his wife's words. Then he went back to his studies. This story reminds us {#blank#}10{#/blank#}to give up halfway.
