When choosing a career, you should consider all the aspects of a job. Some jobs may seem very dull but are very important to society,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} others can appear very exciting but are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(actual) very difficult and boring. One example is the so-called ‘glamorous job' of being a model or {#blank#}3{#/blank#} actor. Would you like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) famous, wear diamonds, go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets or helicopters? In reality, these people have to spend long hours travelling, with all their{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (luggage) packed in suitcases or trunks, and only a very small number of them are successfully. Many actors, actresses and models hold ordinary,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (glamorous) jobs, often {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (work) as waiters and waitresses, in order to support {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they). Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention. They are also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} huge pressure to appear young and beautiful. Most actors and models are always on a diet, and many have had painful operations to make their faces and bodies look more attractive. It does not seem that glamorous now, does it? Maybe a career as a local grocer {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) a better option.

    We use flowers as messengers, to say something we might have trouble saying {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (direct) by ourselves. Over time flowers have come to symbolize the most powerful human {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (experience): beauty, love, hope, and rebirth. Sweet flowers alone can say what one fears expressing. We've listed some of the most famous flowers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} have a special significance.

    In Mao Zedong's poem Ode to Plum Blossom（《咏梅》）, the plum blossom was used {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (praise) great soldiers who sacrificed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) lives for a better life for Chinese people.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} great Chinese poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty once compared Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face {#blank#}7{#/blank#} blooming peonies（牡丹）. Flowering in May, peonie's large petals and strong colors are linked to prosperity and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rich) in traditional Chinese culture.

    The orchid（兰花）is well known for its delicate smell. Beautiful articles and poems {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (call) “lanzhang” by Chinese people in ancient times.

    Roses, of course, have the most colorful meaning among all the flowers. Red roses, to this day, mean “I love you.” A red rose, rather than yellow roses, acts as the traditional romantic gift {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) to your love on Valentine's Day. Sending yellow roses can be risky, as they represent either friendship or envy.

Daniel: Good morning, madam. I'm Daniel. I'm applying for the position of manager.

Madam: Sit down, please. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} did you learn about our company?

Daniel: I got to know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} company through such famous brands as LUX, LIPTOS and WALLS. Your products impressed me deeply.

Madam: Well, please tell me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} about your past work achievement.

Daniel: All right, Madam. When {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (work) for my previous company, I succeeded in raising the yearly sales volume(销售额) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} 25%.

Madam: Oh, that is quite an achievement! Why have you decided to change jobs?

Daniel: {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I hope to change. I am looking for a more challenging position. There are no more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (opportunity) for me to grow in my current job.

Madam: OK, I understand. But why have you made the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (choose) to work for us?

Daniel: I have carefully studied the information about your company on the Internet and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (check) your company's homepage. The working conditions are so excellent here. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (sincere) hope to be a member of your company.

Madam: That's fine. Thanks for coming to see us. I will let you know about the job within the week.

    I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me. I said hello {#blank#}2{#/blank#} him, smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought, "Why not offer him a piece of chocolate？" So I did. He was quite {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (surprise), but accepted and thanked me. He said that people didn't usually do things like this for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strange) and at least that was what I understood, because he was speaking a really {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (usual) dialect.

    Then he opened one of his bags and gave me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} handful of freshly picked cherries, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) that he had just taken them from his orchard. The cherries were really lovely, better than those in the shops, and I enjoyed them very much. It had been just an impulse (冲动) to offer him a piece of chocolate, but if I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (not do) so, I would never have tasted those lovely cherries, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I didn't even know he had at the time. Life is about giving and taking, and it's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (general) true that if you give, you will receive.
