A 14-year-old Chinese boy overcame two of humankind's most dreaded fears—getting stuck in an elevator and getting homework {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do), in a single night {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(owe) to his calm-witted character.

    Sun Yixiao was on his way up on Tuesday evening after school,  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the lift suddenly came to a stop. A moment of panic followed before the  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teenage) could find a way out.

    Sun said he tried to open the elevator door, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(press) all the buttons in the hope to get the elevator to work again, but it didn't work.

    Without a cell phone at hand, Sun tried yelling to get attention of people outside, but no one responded as time passed by. He slipped a note through the door  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the message "people stuck inside, please ask the property management for help," and hoped someone  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pick) it up and act on it.

    After exhausting all his options without knowing how long it would take before someone found him, he took out his textbooks and started to do his homework {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient).

    Soon after he finished his duties, Sun heard loud {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(voice) outside. A large crowd including his teachers and other parents had come to the rescue, by which time he {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(trap) in the elevator for over five hours.

    The story happened in ancient times. A king was so clever that he thought of a good way to test {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his men were reliable.

    One day, he had a huge rock{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(place) on a roadway at night. Then he hid {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (him) nearby and watched carefully to see if anyone would remove the big rock. Some {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wealth) businessmen and high officials came by, but they simply walked around it. Many of them even loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them would bother{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (get) the big stone out of the way.

    Then a villager came along carrying a load of vegetables. On {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(approach) the big rock, he stopped and laid down his burden, trying hard to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing, he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(final) succeeded. As the villager picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the rock{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be). The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king, saying that the gold was for the person{#blank#}9{#/blank#}removed the huge rock from the road.

    The villager learned a valuable lesson that many others would never understand: Every obstacle presents {#blank#}10{#/blank#} opportunity to improve one's condition.

    I'm not sure {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩）that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching {#blank#}7{#/blank#} these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

    When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) alive. True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mean)me no real harm. He was just saying: "I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder!" Once his message was delivered, he allowed me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (stay)and watch.

    The Mid-Autumn festival is a harvest festival {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (celebrate) on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It celebrates three fundamental concepts, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are closely tied to one another: gathering, such as family and friends {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) together, or harvesting crops for the festival; Thanksgiving, to give thanks for the harvest, or for harmonious unions; praying {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sincere) for beauty, longevity, babies, marriage {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (partner) or for a good future.

    Traditions and myths surrounding the festival {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (form) around these three concepts, although traditions have changed over time due to significant changes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} technology, science, economy, culture and religion. It's about well-being together.

    The festival was a time when people enjoyed the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success) reaping（收获）of rice and wheat with food offerings made in honor of the moon. Today, people still mark {#blank#}9{#/blank#}occasion with similar activities. They have outdoor reunions among friends and relatives to eat mooncakes and watch the moon, a symbol of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (harmonious) and unity.

    A boy trembled in the cold winter, wrapping his arms wound {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(he) on a bus stop bench. He wasn't wearing warm clothes and the temperature was -10℃.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a heartbreaking scene it was! But the good deeds of the ordinary people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}witnessed the 11-year-old Johannes were both joyous and inspiring. A woman, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sit) next to the boy, discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (selfless) covered his shoulders with her own coat.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (late), another woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large jacket. Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs.

    Actually, it was a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hide) camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to collect {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (donate) to help Syrian children get through the winter. Synne Ronning, the information head of the organization, also {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（note） that the child was a volunteer who was never {#blank#}10{#/blank#}any danger during the filming.
