There was violent competition in every aspect（方面） of life. Because 2 was the symbol（象征） of success. People were always busy making money, with no time for relaxation. Some young people couldn't bear the intensity(紧张) and chose to drink to escape（逃避）.

    “We are all going to the 5.” said the boys. “Let us have the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked 6 with the heavy basket, but happily.

    The other day, I saw a little girl stop and 7. a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶), “I wish 8 would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”
