As we know, the world has a population of 6.8 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (billion/billions) and it is increasing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (by/to) 80 million every year. China has already {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reach/reached) 1.3 billion, so it has the largest population in the world. It's reported that the population in developing countries {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (is/are) larger and is growing faster than {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (those/that) in developed countries.

As a result, the population problem has become more serious in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (developing/developed) countries. 

A: {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you have a good time last weekend?

B: No, it was very {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

A: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} did you do?

B: I stayed at home and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} English.

A: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}？

B: Because l will have an English {#blank#}6{#/blank#} next Monday.  

A: Really? Don't {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. You are good at English.

B: Yes, but I didn't go to school last week. I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ill.  

A: Oh, I'm {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to hear that. I hope you will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    On the day of the interview, I got up at 6:00 in the morning. I got to the interview place without {#blank#}1{#/blank#} breakfast. I was the 16th interviewer(应聘者) and the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was a short ordinary - looking girl. I noddedto her. I asked her where she graduated. "I didn't graduate from a famous college," she told me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a low voice.

    I didn't expect the interview would last so long. As I didn't have breakfast, my stomachache came to me. I had to sit by the table for a rest. Just at that time, the girl came and asked me what happened. I told her, "I didn't have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} this morning, so I had a stomachache."

    After a while, a worker came in and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me a bottle of milk and a piece of bread. It was certain that they were bought by the girl. I felt warm all over my heart because I hadn't imagined she would be so nice to help me--her rival (竞争对手)

    Luckily, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the job. The first day I went to work, I was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to see the girl there. She also got the job. Later I asked her why she got the job. She said with a smile. "That day when I bought you the food and came back, an interviewer saw me and asked {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I took the food in hands. I told him the truth. Then I got the job. " At that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ,I came to know that when the girl helped me and the interviewer, she also helped {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Helping others will benefit yourself as well.
