I wonder {#blank#}1{#/blank#}it is because I haven't been able to be outdoors for so long{#blank#}2{#/blank#}I have grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(change) since I was there. For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake{#blank#}5{#/blank#}purpose until half past eleven in order to have{#blank#}6{#/blank#}good look at the moon by myself. But {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the moon gave far too much light, I didn't dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs until the window had to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shut). The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in{#blank#}9{#/blank#}power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(see) the night face to face...

    On a cold evening with snow floating in the air, I got {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(stick) on the road because of a flat tire(轮胎) .I attempted {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（seek）help from the passing cars, but no one stopped. As I was about to give up hope, a man {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（drive）an old dirty car came to my aid. To be honest, I was scared when he first approached me. Eying him up and down, I thought to myself, 'There is a very good chance {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he may rob me.' He seemed to have sensed my discomfort so he tried to ease my {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（anxious）by introducing himself. His act of kindness made me feel ashamed to have questioned his intentions. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}was really considerate of him to stop to help a perfect stranger like me, especially in such terrible weather. Thus, after the spare tire was fitted, I asked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} much I owed him. I wanted to pay him back. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(surprising), he did not take my offer but rather told me to pass the act of kindness forward and help more people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} need. As he said those words, I noticed him wearing a smile of contentment. Helping others seemed a very {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（nature）thing to him. I witnessed the true beauty of human nature in him.

Gift from A Stranger

My local supermarket is always busy. The first parking space I found was convenient. but I'd noticed a woman in a blue car circling for a while. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I was in a good mood, I let her have it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot——it was a tight fit. Pretty soon I'd made my way through the supermarket and was back in the flesh air. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(feel)good, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(help)a struggling woman reverse park.

    Just as I approached my car, I saw the woman I'd let have my car spot earlier. She was giving me {#blank#}4{#/blank#}odd look——half intent(热切的), half puzzled. I smiled and wished her a pleasant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I saw the same lady{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(look)in at me. "Hello, "she said, hesitantly. "This {#blank#}6{#/blank#}sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother's things off at the charity bins. You are just so much {#blank#}7{#/blank#}her. You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy. "She looked at me{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(meaning)and passed a box in through the window. "I think she would like you to have it. "{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.

    After a pause. I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(nice)gift I'd ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

    How would you feel if you woke up and found your entire computers—including your photos, your recent documents—no longer {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (access)? What if you found out that they had been wiped from your computer, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) you with nothing but heartache?

    Guess what? It happens to people every single day. Every day, people across the country head into their local Apple store in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tear), broken computer in hand, praying as they wait in line that an expensive repair might, just might, recover the priceless, irreplaceable files. A few get lucky. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for the rest, there's nothing anyone can do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (help).

    Hasn't it happened to you? If your computer remains unprotected, it will, and it's only {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of time. But thanks {#blank#}7{#/blank#} recent breakthroughs in computer backup (备份) technology, you now have a number of options to prepare, and if you're smart, when your computer {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (crash), you shouldn't have any trouble {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (get) 100% of your files back that same day. I'm not talking about an external hard drive. I'm talking about an online backup solution that runs {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (quiet) in the background on your computer. If you have one installed (安装), when your computer crashes, you'll be just one click away from bringing your files back to life.
