Once there lived a rich man,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} wanted to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they were worth his help or not.

    In the center of the main road into the town, he placed a very large stone. Then he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow. “Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. Another man came along and did {#blank#}5{#/blank#} same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the stone but none tried to remove it.

    Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (say) to himself, “The night will be very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone. ” Then pushing and pulling with all his {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (strong), the young man began to move the stone ... How {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (surprise) he was! There was a bag of money under{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    There has been many popular TV series recently, such as Nirvana in Fire (琅玡榜).Nowadays almost every family has a TV set and almost everyone is fond of binge-watching (追剧) in his spare time. TV becomes one necessity in our daily life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we all know is that TV has many advantages. For example, it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (inform) us of the latest news that happened home and abroad. Besides, it can broaden our eyes, enlarge our knowledge and also help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) to see more about the world.

    However, it also has some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (advantage). People waste too much time in watching TV, so their normal life and work {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (affect). What's worse, to those children {#blank#}6{#/blank#} spend too much time in watching TV, it can be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (harm) to their eyesight and health. As a result, they may become short-sighted or they will find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult to concentrate on their school work.

As far as I am concerned, we should take advantage of the TV and control our time of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (watch) TV In addition, we should choose helpful and instructive TV programs instead {#blank#}10{#/blank#} soap operas (肥皂剧) to watch.

    A woman suddenly{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) blind in one eye after playing a mobile phone game for a whole week in Guangdong province last month. The unnamed woman admitted to playing the game {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (regular) for seven or eight hours without moving and finally lost {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (she) right eyesight.

    The game, Arena of Valor, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (know) as Honour of Kings, has become hugely popular in China and is due to be limited across the US and Europe. Being {#blank#}5{#/blank#}world's most popular online battle game, it already has over 200 million players in China.

    The battle game puts together a team of five players {#blank#}6{#/blank#} have to fight others in a fantasy land filled{#blank#}7{#/blank#}characters , and players can buy extra features while playing. The eye injury follows series of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(incident). In June, a child in Shenzhen stole 30,000 yuan (£3,450) from his parents to buy add-ons, and a 13-year-old in Hangzhou, severely injured his legs after jumping from a five-storey building to escape from his father was trying to stop him{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(play).

    In a country in which 60 percent of the population has a smart-phone, the game has been highly {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (success), partly because it is free to play.

    Happiness can {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(describe) as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. There are many factors contributing to happiness.

A person {#blank#}2{#/blank#} an obviously ideal situation is not necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are only chief factors if the person is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(serious) undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

    The rich {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they have more opportunity to control their {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(life). Yet people with a high income and a college education may be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(little) happy than those with the same income and no college education.

    Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(disable) or those in pain. Learning {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(cope) with a health problem can contribute to happiness.
