Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England. Rich and{#blank#}1{#/blank#} , young and old, you can see them all there, shouting and{#blank#}2{#/blank#} for one side or the other.
        You may be surprised to find that even the smallest boy seems to have the great{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the game. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of them and knows the results of many matches. He will tell you who he expects will{#blank#}5{#/blank#} such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
     In England, it is{#blank#}6{#/blank#} that education means not only filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom but also training character. One of the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} ways of training character is by playing games,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working{#blank#}9{#/blank#} himself alone.
    Football is good exercise for the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} , it is a team game, it needs skill and a quick brain. So the school often arranges games and matches for its pupils.

     One morning during my second month ofthe art school, our teacher gave

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} quiz(小测验). I was always a hard-working student and I did well in all my subjects. So it seemed a piece of cake for me. I had finished the questions successfully and easily, until I read the last one: What is the name of the woman{#blank#}2{#/blank#}cleans the school building every day?

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, thinand about 50 years old,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}how could I know her name? It was {#blank#}5{#/blank#}of my business. I handed in my paper,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the lastquestion empty.

    Just before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count towards our quiz grades.

  “Of course it will,”said the teacher. “You {#blank#}7{#/blank#}many people in the future. All people are important. And all jobs need to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. They work hard. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if all that you can do{#blank#}9{#/blank#}to smile and say hello.”

    I've never forgotten that lesson. Actually, that was the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}lesson in my life. I also learned that the cleaning woman's name was Ally Black.

    My hometown is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Nanning, Guangxi. There are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}seasons in a year. I like {#blank#}3{#/blank#} because it's not very cold here. My sister likes spring because the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is warm. She can fly {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. My good friend, Yang Fan, likes summer because he can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the river. He likes swimming. I don't like summer because it's too {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. My brother likes autumn because it's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. What's your {#blank#}9{#/blank#} season? Can you {#blank#}10{#/blank#} me?
