The young man could not believe his own ears. Then he began to think about how {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (get) the money. The old man was very tired and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} seemed that he could hardly keep his eyes open. After a while the old man {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lie) down on the chair and fell {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(sleep). The young man took {#blank#}5{#/blank#} big bag quietly. But when he was just about to run away, he found a corner of his fur coat was under the man's body. Several times he tried to pull it out, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he couldn't make it. At last he took off his coat, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(think) that the gold in the bag must cost far more than his fur coat. Then the young man ran out of the station {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(quick), until he reached a place {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he thought the old man could not find him. He opened the bag but he just found many small stones in it. Then he ran back to the station only to find that the old man was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(go).

    The Amber Room, an{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (amaze) treasure, which was decorated with gold and jewels, was made of several tons of{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (select) amber.

    Have you ever wondered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}children always seem to have bags of energy and never run out of steam? Researchers have discovered that children have the levels of recovery of endurance athletes. In fact, scientists say children's muscles recover from "high-intensity exercise" a lot{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick) than athletes. A study looked at the performance levels of children when they were cycling, and compared their fitness to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of athletes. Researcher Dr Sebastien Ratel suggested they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (find) the children used more of their aerobic metabolism and were therefore less tired during the high-intensity physical activities. The children also recovered very quickly-even faster than the well-trained adult endurance athletes.

    The researchers hope that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they) findings will help scientists have a better{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand) how the human body changes with age. It could lead to advances in the fight {#blank#}7{#/blank#} diabetes and other diseases. Dr Ratel said the research was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(particular) important as more children were become less active. He warned: "With the diseases related to physical inactivity{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(rise), know the changes with growth that might contribute to the risk of disease. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is helpful for children to maintain their fitness as they grow up and play as much as they could so they remain healthy as adults.
