A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (absorb) in his smartphone that he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (throw) him to the ground. This should serve {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially {#blank#}5{#/blank#} crossing roads.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lucky), the man survived, but the incident forced the driver {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stop) the train. An l8-minute delay followed the incident, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

    The Smartphone {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (addict) has spread like an infectious（传染的）disease. It's evident that it will do great harm to society. What's even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.

    Some people blame the smartphone for the sad story, yet in fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

    In 551 BC, a man {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) Kongzi was born to a poor family in the province of Shandong. Kongzi {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (know) in the Western world as Confucius.

    Confucius saw many problems in the world in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he lived. He looked forward to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (help) make improvements to change the world for the better. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (get) into a position of influence, Confucius tried to get himself appointed （任命）as an advisor to a number of different government officials. Having got a(n) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (disappoint) result, Confucius set out to become a teacher.

    Confucius believed in peace and order. He felt everyone had a proper role in society, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} if people were willing to accept their role and show good {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (behave), peace would be kept. So Confucius laid out what he called ethics. These ethics explained how a person should treat others. One of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} most important ethics explained the responsibilities of children to respect and listen to their parents and other elders.

    During his own lifetime, Confucius' teachings were not widely accepted. However, within a hundred years they were being used by the emperor to help him rule, and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (final) became a widely followed philosophy（哲学）.

—The Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which was d{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the memory of ‘the most valiant soldier and most notable leader'.

    I can still remember the day we brought her home from the animal shelter (收容所). Lexie moved in my arms when I held her, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the second I handed this lovely dog to my daughter, she settled down. My daughter cried tears of joy while {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hold) her on the way home and Lexie happily licked (舔) them away.

    Since then, they {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) good friends. They lie under blankets on the sofa and watch TV together. When my daughter climbs into bed, Lexie will carry her toys on top of the covers {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (join) her. Lexie's favorite spot is right in my daughter's arms. If she could spend every second of the day there, she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    The other day I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(watch) Lexie while my daughter, who lives right up the road from me, did some housework. When it was time {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Lexie to go home, I could see Lexie's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(excite) as I leashed (用皮带牵) her up. I opened the back door and let her out. She was running as fast as she could. I called her name, but {#blank#}9{#/blank#} was no use. She had found my daughter on the road. My daughter bent down to pick her up. Lexie jumped into her arms and happily licked her face.

    I smiled, seeing she was back {#blank#}10{#/blank#} she belonged.
