As we all know, questioning can lead to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(search) for an answer. If we are in the habit of raising doubts as to{#blank#}2{#/blank#}what we are told is true, we can find the correct answer and learn more.

    Two years ago, our teacher{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (offer) us an answer to a difficult math problem in class. Although the answer seemed a little strange, nobody {#blank#}4{#/blank#}me doubted it. Thinking that his answer might be wrong, I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(careful) analyzed the problem and tried to work{#blank#}6{#/blank#} out in a different way. Half an hour{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (late), I managed to find the correct answer. When I showed my answer to him, the teacher praised me for my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(depend) thinking.

    From this experience, I have learned that questioning can serve as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} bridge that helps us to seek the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(true).

    The party began shortly after nine. Mr. Wood, who lived in the flat below, sighed to himself as he heard {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (excite) voices and the noisy music. Luckily, he had brought some work home from the office, with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the noise overhead. But by eleven o'clock he felt tired and was ready to go to bed though from his {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (early) experience he knew it was no use {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (try) to get to sleep. He undressed and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lie) for a while in bed, trying to read, but he found himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off {#blank#}7{#/blank#} light and buried his head in the pillow. But even so he could not shut off the noise. Finally, after {#blank#}8{#/blank#} seemed hours, his patience was gone.

    He jumped out of bed, put on some clothing, marched firmly up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor's apartment. The owner of the apartment came across the room and, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, “My dear fellow, come and join us. I know our parties would trouble you. I meant to send you an invitation.” Mr. Wood's anger disappeared then and there. He said, “I'd better go and get changed.” Minutes later, he returned, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (proper) dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

    I never believed in lucky coins. But one day as I was mowing the lawn (修剪草坪), I noticed a shiny object some five yards away. I stopped the machine to go and see {#blank#}1{#/blank#} had caught my eye. Just as I bent over to pick up the object, the machine exploded behind me. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stand) there, frightened but unhurt. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (save) by the shiny object—a coin. I now believe in lucky coins and stop to pick them up whenever I see them.
