It was early May. As soon as Sophie got home from school. She {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (打开) the mailbox at the gate. There was only one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (信) in it and it was for Sophie. It looked really {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (奇怪的), because the envelope(信封) didn't say who it was from. There was no stamp on it, either.

    Sophie took out the paper. It read, "Who are you?" Nothing else, only the three words, written by hand and followed by a large question mark. "Who wrote this?" Sophie said to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (她自己). "Maybe a naughty(淘气的) child in the neighborhood, I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (猜测)."But she couldn't stop thinking about the question. After half an hour, she said, "Why am I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (浪费) my time on it? I'll not think about it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (再也)." However, the next day Sophie {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (注意到) another letter in the mailbox. In it there was only one sentence, "Where does the world come from?"

    Why did someone write to Sophie? What did the questions {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (意思是)? Could Sophie find out the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (事实)? I think maybe you should find out the answers in the famous book, Sophie's World, by yourself.

    Mr Jones used to weigh over 100 kilograms. His doctor told him that he would get serious health problems {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he lost weight.

    Hearing this, Mr Jones was frightened. First, he tried to eat {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (little), but soon after, he felt hungry. As a result, he ate more.

    Then he went to the drugstore {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) for a way to solve his problem. He was advised to take diet pills. However, he changed his mind later because they were too expensive and he knew they were bad for his health.

    After trying many ways, Mr Jones still weighed 100 kilograms. He was very unhappy. Then one day, after listening to a radio programme, he had an idea. He told his family he would walk to work {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of driving. "Every day, I'll walk one hour in the morning, and another hour in the evening," he said. "I will change {#blank#}5{#/blank#} way I live." Everyone was astonished at his decision. He would walk eight kilometres every day!

    The whole family supported him. The next morning, after {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (have) a good breakfast, he left home for work. Slowly, Mr Jones started to lose some weight. At the end of the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (one) month, he had lost three kilograms, which was a great encouragement to him. Everyone in his family was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (exciting) about the result.

    So far, Mr Jones {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (keep) on walking for years. He weighs 70 kilograms now and he is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (healthy) in his family.
