Bill doesn't do well in public speaking. One day, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（invite）to make a speech at the church. His {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（young）brother, Ben, knew he was nervous and tried to calm him down. “ Don't worry. Everything{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) fine.”

    When the day came, Bill's car had an accident{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the way to the church. Luckily, he wasn't badly hurt and got to the church on time. It was his turn. When he stood up, his coat became tangled  (纠缠)with his chair. After a few {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (minute), he began his speech, but he was so nervous {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he dropped his book. Many people thought he would run, but he went on.

    Suddenly, people saw something{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (usual) running down from his nose, blood! He stopped {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （speak) when he saw the blood. But he still tried to finish his speech. Then Ben quietly moved to the front and handed him his handkerchief(手帕).Then he gave him a smile and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (return) to his seat.

    It was a really simple gesture, and might be the simplest. He just saw someone in need, and gave him a hand. In the end, Bill finished his talk{#blank#}10{#/blank#} more confidence.

    Not everyone has the chance {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( be ) a detective(侦探). But I got one when I was 13 years old. It happened in 1988.

    One afternoon, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}( walk ) down the street when I saw my father's new car. I expected{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(meet) my father, but to my surprise, I saw a young woman driving instead. "My father's car {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(steal)" I thought. So I quickly stopped a taxi and got in. I said to the driver, "Please {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(follow) that new car in front." And I told him why.

    The taxi driver had a car phone, and I asked him to call the police. Soon we heard the sound of a police car and its loudspeaker. The police told the woman to stop her car. Our car came to a stop, too. I got out right now and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(say) to the woman, "It's not your car. It's my father's."

    The woman smiled and said, "Oh. You're Mr. Johnson's younger son, right? I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}see) your photo at your father's office." Before I could say another word, the woman explained that she was my father's new assistant.

    My father asked her to take his computer to the shop to have it repaired. He lent his car. After{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hear) her words, we called my father and he told us what she said was true. The police and the taxi driver laughed I felt very sorry. It was both the first and last time for me to work as a detective. Don't you think my story funny?

    Mozart was a famous composer (作曲家). He was one of the greatest composers in the history of music.

    He {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) born in Austria, in 1756. He was the son of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} musician and he had one sister. She was five years {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (old) than him. Mozart and his sister were both very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (interest) in music.

    Mozart began to play the piano when he was three. He liked music very much and his father never had to tell him {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (practise). He wrote his first piece of music at the age of five. Later, he and his sister travelled all over Europe with{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) father. They played music for kings and queens {#blank#}7{#/blank#} other important people.

    Mozart {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (become) ill when he was in Prague(布拉格) in 1791. He died on 5 December, 1791 when he was only 35. Although he died young, he left a lot of musical works to the world. He was still composing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (short) before he died. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a great composer Mozart is!
