I felt upset when I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tell) that I would have to leave the company. In order to find {#blank#}2{#/blank#} new job to support the family, I read almost all the newspapers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} set down almost all the telephone numbers in ads {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my notebook and tried to call almost all the companies that needed new clerks. Not until I{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (find) a job in a small town near Townsville did I calm down. My new boss, Mr. Brown, was one of my schoolmates {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I was getting along well with at school. Both of us were {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (excite) to see each other and we spent the whole afternoon {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (talk) about things and persons that we remembered at school. He asked me to give {#blank#}9{#/blank#} some advice on how to enlarge his present business and he was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (entire) happy about my advice.

    I enjoy{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (climb) mountains whenever I can find the time to do so. Tom and Mike are my best friends. Both of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} also like sports. Two years ago, the three of us {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) up to Mt. Lushan. Instead of taking a bus, which would be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (comfortable), we preferred to climb. We started {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the foot of the mountain early in the morning, chatting all the way. After about one and a half hours' climbing, we saw two mountain {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (path) before us. We could not decide {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to choose. In the end, we took the path on the right, thinking that might be a short cut. But we were wrong. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lose) in the mountain, we could not find our way out. We had to use our hands and feet to make a way. We began to cry for help {#blank#}9{#/blank#} nobody answered. It was not until darkness {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (fall) that we found a right path leading up to a paved road.

    I met this elderly lady in town, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I suppose may be someone's grandmother. The city has grown and everybody is so busy {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (walk), and at times shoving(挤着) other people. I'm not sure what made look at her as she walked slowly by with her wooden walking stick. Maybe it's because I wondered if I would reach that age and what I would be doing then if I did.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sudden), her stick dropped. I was not so sure if someone had pushed her or it just dropped accidentally. She tried reaching for it, but I noticed that bending was becoming a challenge to her. I moved towards her, although I thought that someone would have helped her by the time I{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (reach) her. I was wrong. Nobody seemed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (notice) or cared much. I picked{#blank#}6{#/blank#} her stick and positioned it in her hand. She gave me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} wide, honest smile and thanked me. She raised her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (eye) and said something nice to me, still smiling.

    I felt happy too, and will remember that it is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (meaning) to slow down and take notice of what is happening around {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) and outside our own selves.
