One day in Africa, a mouse was hurrying home. He was going so {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that he ran right into a sleeping lion. The lion woke up and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (catch) the mouse. "If you let me go, I'll do something for you in return(回报)," the mouse cried. "How could a small animal like you help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a big and strong animal as me?" But the lion still let him go. "Thank you! I won't forget you," said the mouse.

    A few days later, some people were looking for wild animals. They {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hang) a big net from three trees and tied a piece of meat to it.

    One evening, the lion made no kill and decided to return home. Just then, he smelled something delicious. When the lion found the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , he pulled it down and the net fell down over him. The lion tried to get away but it was no use. After a while, he stopped trying. Before long, the lion {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hear) a voice. It was from the mouse he had set free a few days ago. "I've come to help you," said the mouse. "How can you help me? I'm caught in the net and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} can help me now," the lion said sadly. But the mouse got to work, biting the net with his sharp {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(tooth). At last, he made a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the net big enough for the lion to escape.

    So the little mouse did what he had {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (promise) to do--help the lion. One of the nature's strongest animals had been saved by one of the smallest and weakest.

    Today skateboarding is popular around the world. Many young people like the sport, and so {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) Marcelo Lusardi. However, the young man is quite different from many others -- he is a blind skateboarder.

    Marcelo was born in Argentina, and now he lives in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. He used to live an easy life but everything changed when he went blind in 2015. He felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hope), as he couldn't imagine living without sight (视力).{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(Luck), a friend of his{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (father) stepped in and helped him out. Thanks to her help, Marcelo was able {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) his condition and started getting out more.

    Marcelo went to the skate park he had often visited. At first, he thought skating was out of the question for a blind man like him. But his skateboarding friends {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tell) him he was still one of them and he had to get back on the skateboard. They helped him learn to use his other senses except sight {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( ride )the skateboard again and even try out some new tricks.

    Looking back, Marcelo thought{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(lose) his sight helped him realize who he is and what he wants to do. “People sometimes have problems and think that's the end of the world, but in the end you can solve these problems. Look at me, I was skating, then I went blind, and now I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(skate) again. Not as well as before, but I can still do it and leave people with their mouths{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (open).” So, remember: Everything has a solution in life.
