A young man and an old man were waiting for a bus. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sat next to each other. “What's that in your bag? ” asked the young man, pointing to a big bag beside the old man.“Gold. There was nothing but gold,” Answered the old man. The young man could not believe his won ears and was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}great amazement. Then he began to think about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}to get the gold. The old man was very tired and it seemed that he could hardly keep his eyes open. After a while the old man {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lie) down on the chair and fell asleep.The young man took {#blank#}5{#/blank#}big bag gently and quietly. But when he was just about to run away, he found a corner of his fur coat was under the old man's body. Several times he tried to pull it out, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in vain. At last he took off his coat, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (think) that the gold in the bag must cost far more than his fur coat. Nervous but {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(delight), the young man ran out of the station as quickly as his legs could carry him until he reached a place {#blank#}9{#/blank#}he thought the old man couldn't find him. He stopped and quickly opened the bag but he just found a great many of small stones in it. Then he ran back to the station {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(hurry) only to find that the old man was gone.

    A man looking at his Smartphone while walking across a railway{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(have)a close knock on Oct 22. He was so{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(absorb)in his Smartphone that he did not 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 18-minute delay followed the incident,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

    Smartphone{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(addict) has spread like an infectious disease. It's evident that it will do great harm to society.

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

    Last October, while tending her garden in Mora, Sweden, Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer, and she noticed a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.

    Pahlsson screamed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} loudly that her daughter came running from the house. "She thought I had hurt {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(I)," says Pahlsson.

    Sixteen years {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters — then ten, eight, and six—had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. "I gave up hope of finding my ring again," she says. She never replaced it.

    Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it remained until the carrot's leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} wonder.

    When I was in high school our physics teacher gave us a challenge {#blank#}1{#/blank#} involved making a paper airplane of any shape. The only objective was to get it to fly as far as possible. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stand) at the starting line, one of my classmates took a piece of flat paper, crumpled (把…捏成一团) it up, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (throw) it down the way. He beat the class with ease. Some of the students got mad and said that he cheated, but the physics teacher {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (clear) explained it could be any shape and that a paper ball was indeed a shape.
