    I am looking at an old friend of mine.

    He has been one of my best{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(friend )for almost 12 years. He has blessed my life with his loyalty, kindness{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wise) and love since the day when I first met him{#blank#}3{#/blank#}doesn't matter to me that he has four legs instead of two, fur instead of clothes, and barks at me instead of talking to me.

    As I watch my friend sleeping{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the sun, I cant help{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(think) of all the goodness he has brought into my life. He has been with me every day through good and bad times. He has always been my protector. He has always reminded me that I am loved and showed me how{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(love)others at the same time.

    My friend has aged far{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(quickly)than me and had more and more health problems over the years. I am not sure how long we will be together before he {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pass)away from this world.

    This {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wonder)dog has helped me understand that you don't have to be perfect to be loved and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}poor health and old age might affect the body but they don't have to decrease the spirit.

    The Mid-Autumn festival is a harvest festival {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (celebrate) on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It celebrates three fundamental concepts, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are closely tied to one another: gathering, such as family and friends {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) together, or harvesting crops for the festival; Thanksgiving, to give thanks for the harvest, or for harmonious unions; praying {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sincere) for beauty, longevity, babies, marriage {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (partner) or for a good future.

    Traditions and myths surrounding the festival {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (form) around these three concepts, although traditions have changed over time due to significant changes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} technology, science, economy, culture and religion. It's about well-being together.

    The festival was a time when people enjoyed the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success) reaping（收获）of rice and wheat with food offerings made in honor of the moon. Today, people still mark {#blank#}9{#/blank#}occasion with similar activities. They have outdoor reunions among friends and relatives to eat mooncakes and watch the moon, a symbol of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (harmonious) and unity.

    In 1850, an American lawyer, Bethune, bought a slave to work in his home. The slave, a woman, had a small child{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call) Tom, who was blind.

    One day, Bethune {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(walk) around his garden when he heard music coming from the house. He went inside and found young Tom playing on the family piano. Bethune {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(immediate) realized that the boy, who was only four, had special abilities. He asked a band of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(music) to come to the house and play in front of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he). Tom reproduced perfectly the music he had heard. Tom was indeed an unusual boy.

    In 1857, "Blind Tom" took part {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his first public performance. The reviews were so good {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Bethune took him on a tour of the US. Three years later, Blind Tom {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (invite) to the White House to perform for the president. Over the next forty years, Tom performed {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(enjoy) shows all over the US and other countries. His concerts were {#blank#}10{#/blank#} mixture of classical music and his own compositions.

    Marty is a disabled boy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} suffers from a muscle disease. Sometimes he is too weak {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(run) or climb stairs as quickly as other people. The doctors don't know {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (exact) what is wrong with him. Luckily, Marty has learned to adapt {#blank#}4{#/blank#} his disability. In order to make his life happy and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (satisfy), Marty keeps busy doing things that do not require physical strength. He has friends with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he can go to movies and football matches and he has lots of pets. He used to dream of one day being a famous football player and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(represent) his country in the World Cup. Even when he is made fun of, he doesn't get {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (annoy). Disabled {#blank#}9{#/blank#}he is, Marty has become stronger and more independent. He never feels sorry for himself and he enjoys as rich and full a life as everyone else.

    He suggests that we normal people should give the disabled {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (encourage) rather than laugh at them.

    The Financial Times gave part of my job to a robot named Amy last week. For years I have been making podcast version(播客)of my column, but now I am faced with a tough competition.

    To be fair, Amy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do) something going for her. She has a great voice, smooth as velvet. Her{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(two) advantage is that she's practically free. She is part of a new service from Amazon that turns text {#blank#}3{#/blank#}speech, costing-nearly nothing. Even more {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (impress) is her speed. Less than two seconds after receiving my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (write) text, which means when I just start to read, "Yesterday the Finan…", she has already finished.

    Yet once I got over my distress and listened to her work, I felt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good). I know it's early days for her, but at the moment Amy is no match for me. Listening to her is not like listening to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} non-English speaker read aloud, but to someone without brain, or heart, or sense of humor. Her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (deliver) is so poor that I don't even understand. Amy never reads with understanding, never knows when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pause), and never does irony. She continues to get it wrong.

    Finally, I'm not afraid Amy is about to steal my job. Only people possess human touch. It is the heart-to-heart communication {#blank#}10{#/blank#} makes us special, beautiful and irreplaceable.
