Patient: Good morning, doctor.

Doctor: Morning. What seems to be the trouble?

Patent: It's my vision. I can't see well at night, and when I wake up in the morning, it takes me a few minutes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I can see clearly.

Doctor: OK. I'm going to take a closer look. Just relax. How {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has this been going on?

Patient: A couple of weeks, I guess -- wow, that's bright!

Doctor: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it hurt when I do that?

Patient: Not exactly. It's just really bright.

Doctor: OK. Please, go on.

Patient: Well, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) down to the basement in my house about three weeks ago when I slipped and bumped my head pretty hard on the steps.

Doctor: Where exactly did you hit your head?

Patient: Right on the back. I heard a loud sound, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} everything seemed to be okay.

Doctor: You didn't get it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (check) out then?

Patient: No, I didn't. Well, a week passed, and all of a sudden I started to have problems {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sight. I first noticed it when I was driving back home from work. It's gotten {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bad) over the past week.

Doctor: I'm glad you came. I'm going to order some tests, and I want to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} appointment for you to see a specialist tomorrow morning. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope), nothing is too serious.

    Eyes closed, she felt the cool breeze on her face as the car drove past the green grassland. The breeze gave her a sense of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(free) and happiness. The breeze suddenly {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(come) to a stop with the car stopping due to the traffic {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create) by sheep. Climbing out of the car in excitement, she realized she was in a new world in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} her only companion was the beauty of nature all around her. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(stand) there, she finally understood the meaning of happiness! She thought she was the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(happy) person in the world at that moment.

    In this fast­paced world, we've forgotten the simple pleasures in life. Just stop for a moment to ask yourself how long it has been since you sat down for a while, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(absolute) doing nothing but still feeling perfectly happy? People tend to find happiness in goods or {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(thing) around them. But the perfect place to start searching for happiness is right within you! True happiness is said to be achieved when we are the reason behind a person's beautiful smile and huge happiness!

    So {#blank#}9{#/blank#} next time you see someone upset or feeling low, lend them a bit {#blank#}10{#/blank#} your time and support. It doesn't cost much, but doubles the happiness in your heart!

    All our dreams have something to do{#blank#}1{#/blank#}our feelings, tears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the “outside” may affect{#blank#}2{#/blank#}we dream. If a person is hungry or tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the blanket on your body has slipped off your bed, you may dream that you{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(sleep) or resting on the ice or snow. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something{#blank#}4{#/blank#}has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, etc.) and it may also use your past{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(experience) and the wishes and interests you have now.

    There are some scientists who have made {#blank#}6{#/blank#}special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(explain) of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, and it offers an interesting way of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(deal) with the problem. They believe that dreams are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(most) expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(carry) out.

    Walking is the UK's most popular sport. It has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} interesting history. In April 1932, 400 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) Manchester and Sheffield in Northern England to walk across Kinder Scout in the Pennines. They fought {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the fact that only rich people, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}went there to kill birds, could visit this beautiful area. Because of the walk, National Parks in England and Wales finally began in 1949, as well as the Pennines Way, one of twenty long, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wonder) paths.

    You don't have to walk the whole way if you are on one of the long paths. And there {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be)a great number of shorter paths for you to choose. But there are afew basic {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rule) you should follow. Don't drop paper and plastic; close gates after you; keep dogs on lead(绳索)if there are farm animals in the area; stay on the path.

    Also, remember that British weather can change very quickly, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial) in the hilly north and west of the country. If you are in Wales, Scotland {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the north of England, carry plenty of food and water, as well as warm clothes. National Parks and footpaths are the best way {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(enjoy).

    Britain's glorious, varied countryside.

    Dogs are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very popular pet. Most of them just live with their families. But some dogs have very special jobs {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do). A group of dogs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (know) as "Therapy Dogs". These dogs are family pets with special training, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} allows them to go into public buildings and comfort people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} need. The dogs are trained to be calm and quiet. Loud noises and unfamiliar places don't frighten them. They enjoy spending time with people.

    Some therapy dogs go into places, such as hospitals and nursing homes. When the dogs visit the patients, the patients are cheered up. They have fun {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pet) the dogs and look forward to their visits. The dogs help to brighten their day. Therapy dogs can improve people's health as well. Studies show that when people pet animals, their blood {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (press) and heart rates go down. They are calmer and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) mood improves.

    Other therapy dogs work in schools and libraries. They serve as warm and caring {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (friend) to children, but they also do {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (much). In one town in California, therapy dogs have become children's reading buddies. The dogs make a great audience. The children look forward to reading to the dogs, and the dogs love the attention.
