    When we plant a rose seed in the earth,we notice it is small,but we do not criticize it as "rootlees and stemless".We treat it as a seed, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （give）it the water and nourishment required {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a seed.

    When it first {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （shoot up）out of the earth, we don't condemn（指责）it as {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （mature） and underdeveloped, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （take） place, and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.

    The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies.Within it,at all times,it contains its whole potential. It seems to be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （constant） in the process of change: Yet at each state， at each moment, it is perfectly all right as {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it is.

A flower is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （good）when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same thing—a flower in the process of expressing its potential.

    His parents became worried and called the police when their son didn't show {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for lunch the next day.

    Some people also say that aliens took one of them aboard the UFO so that they could do research on her. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(luck), she returned safely.

    When {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ask) about the possibility that the boy was taken by aliens, the police say {#blank#}10{#/blank#}they haven't dismissed the idea, they will not give up until they find out what happened.
