I wonder {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is because I haven't been able to be outdoors for so long {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I have grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(myself) spellbound. That {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(change) since I was there. For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake {#blank#}6{#/blank#} purpose until half past eleven in order {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(have) a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave for too much light, I didn't dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs until the window had to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shut). The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(entire) in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(see) the night face to face.

    Last month I took the bus back to my hometown. I carried a big piece of luggage with me and put it beside my leg on the bus. As usual, I closed my eyes and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （try）to take a rest. Suddenly, I felt someone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (move) my luggage. I opened my eyes and looked up. It was the driver {#blank#}3{#/blank#} carried my luggage away, saying "you will be more comfortable if you put the luggage at the first row {#blank#}4{#/blank#} no one takes the seat". As a salesperson, I have taken these buses many times, and never have I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (meet) such a considerate driver who cared so much about the passengers before. This simple act touched my soft heart and will always {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (keep) in my memory.

    I think we have to learn from him and serve our clients（客户） much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (well). We have to be more considerate and offer more attentive service to our clients during {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) visit to us. Sometimes one little thing may make people happy or angry, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} make the clients decide whether {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) business with us or not.

One day, Mary was working in her office in London {#blank#}1{#/blank#}she received an email from her friend Joan. In Joan's email, she persuaded Mary {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(look) for a flat in London for her. As she had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (little) money than before, the flat had to be cheap, but it had to be modern, with elevators and gas lines. Though Mary found {#blank#}4{#/blank#} difficult to find such a flat, she still went from one block to another, looking for a flat {#blank#}5{#/blank#} would meet Joan's requirements(要求). Having tried too many times, Mary came up {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her boss and asked him for advice {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (polite). It was the first time that she {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (talk) with her boss about her personal problems. It happened that the boss just had such a flat for rent, so they quickly reached {#blank#}9{#/blank#} agreement. But to her surprise, when she emailed Joan, telling her the good news, Joan said that she had changed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} mind— she was not going to London.

    Why do many of us find {#blank#}1{#/blank#} difficult or impossible to fall asleep in a bed other than our own? Is it because the bed is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (comfort)? According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (stay) awake on the first night in a new environment.

    For the study, 35 young volunteers {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ask) to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.

    According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (active) than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fall) even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.

    The {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (finding) suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (different), the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it is in the daytime.
