We often hear people say “You've a greater chance {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hit) by lightning.” It is used to describe something {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(likely) to happen. However, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} truth is that lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths among natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 Americans are struck by lightning each year, of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} about 70 people die. In fact, there are more deaths {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (cause) by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. And in India, at least 2,000 people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (kill) in lightning strikes since2005.

    Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention {#blank#}7{#/blank#} other disasters. The US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week, aiming to deepen the public's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (understand) of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms.

    “If you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning,” said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross. “The most important thing is to seek a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hide) place. If you are near wide, open places, move indoors as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (quick) as possible and stay there until after the storm has ended.”

    Many of my friends like fall and take it as their favorite season. Last weekend, I went outdoors and soon {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(find) a deeper appreciation for this season.

    The change of leaf colors is a common reason given {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the love of fall. Each tree reacts{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(different) to the change of the season. Some shed their leaves in hopes of reproducing; however, other {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tree) remain green for as long as possible to gain additional energy from the sun to survive the winter. This effect {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(call) the flight-or-fight response.

    Fall is a time of{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(reflect) and preparation for the year ahead. I have found a meaning of fall for me. I'm {#blank#}7{#/blank#}18-year-old boy in the final year of high school and my life is a work in progress. There are times I want to give up, but then I look around me and realize life keeps {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(move).The natural cycle of life is beautiful and doesn't stop growing so I have to learn to keep up.

The meaning of fall is different for each person. I encourage you {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(go) out to follow some path or sidewalk and discover {#blank#}10{#/blank#}fall means to you.

    Why do some people eat too much? Is it because they're hungry? Or is there a scientific{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(explain)?

    There are a number of theories to account{#blank#}2{#/blank#}overeating. One factor depends on the time of day. “It's all part of a routine,” says Randy Seeley,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}professor of psychiatry in Cincinnati. “You're hungry at noon because that's the time you{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(eat)lunch for the past 100 days.” Another reason we may eat more than necessary is that the body needs to satisfy a salt and sugar balance. Drinking alcohol also increases appetite, because the body wants something {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(absorb) the alcohol.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(basic), overeating can also be a question of more biological factors. For instance, your body temperature can tell your brain that you feel hungry. “Your body temperature{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(drop) when it's time to eat, and eating warms you up,” says Gina Harlow, a paediatrics professor at Harvard University. Also, the smell of certain foods can make us imagine subconsciously the pleasure of eating{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Harlow adds, “If you know you love French fires,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (smell)them will make you want to eat them because you know how good they are,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}can lead to eating too many.”

    So, the next time you realize you've eaten too much, don't worry about it. You can always blame it on science.

    Once there was a wise landowner who had two sons. After a few years, the landowner fell ill badly. So he considered {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (select) one of them to rule the family according to their abilities. He called both of them and gave each one a room. He said，“You must fill your room completely with anything you wish. It can be anything! But there should not be any space {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) behind and you should not seek advice {#blank#}3{#/blank#} others! "

    The next day, the landowner visited the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (old) son's room. The room was completely filled with hay (干草). The landowner sighed on the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (foolish) of the son. Then he went to the room given to the younger son. But it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (keep) closed. The landowner knocked at the door. The younger son asked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (he) father to get in and closed the door again. It was darkness everywhere and the landowner shouted at his son {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (angry).

He understood that the younger would be the right person {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rule) the family.

It was not until darkness fell{#blank#}10{#/blank#} we found a right path leading up to a paved road.
