— Of course. After all, it has paid off.

    One day, there was a blind man sitting at the roadside. There was a sign beside him, on{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was written, “I'm blind. Please help me." Many people walked by him,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}few of them helped him.

    A young man was going to his office. While{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(walk) by the blind man, he stopped and found that there were few coins in the man's hat. He bent down and write a new message on the sign without asking for{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(permit), and then he left, without saying a word.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(late) that afternoon, when the young man walked by the blind man again, he saw the hat{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fill) with bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if{#blank#}7{#/blank#}was he that had changed his sign. He also wanted to know {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the young man had done to the sign. Then the young man told the blind man that he {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(write) something like this on the sign. “It is spring now, but I can't see it." The blind man expressed his gratitude to the young man and went home{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy).

    When Mr. Wang, a Chinese calligraphy(书法)master and painter, invited me to his studio, I got extremely{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (delight) . What a treat!

    His apartment doubles as his studio, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he creates calligraphy works and paintings as well. The living room has a long desk with a collection of{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (brush) of varying sizes, two big ink pots and a pair of paper weights.

    Mr. Wang showed his latest work, a scroll(卷轴)of the Great Wall at Badaling {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wind) its way along the steep hills, which {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (recognize) as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1987. The beauty of the seven-meter-long scroll painting was beyond {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (describe).

    He told me someone had offered a large amount of money for the painting, but he refused {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(part) with it as he wanted to donate to the National Museum.

After that, Mr. Wang invited me to practice calligraphy, and it was the first time that I had {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(true) experienced the beauty of the line. It was then{#blank#}9{#/blank#} I noticed Mr. Wang appeared to have a healthy body. I wondered if practicing calligraphy kept him so fit. Whether that is true, one thing is certain; as Mr. Wang put{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, "Only do one thing and do it well—that's the secret to success"
