    In our daily life, we often meet with difficulties. Some people do nothing but wait, while others try hard to conquer{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Personally, we should face with difficulties positively and make every effort to overcome them.

    My memory drew me back to five years ago when I was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} middle school student. At that time, I had great trouble studying English. First of all, I felt it hard to memorize English {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(word). Besides I didn't dare to say anything in class when {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ask) questions. What annoyed me most was that I failed exams {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(constant). I was about to give up {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my English teacher found my problems. He encouraged me and gave me some good advice. So {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (inspire) by him, I decided to settle my problems.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(follow) his advice, I made progress gradually. I owe my achievement {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the teacher whose encouragement was of great {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.(important).

    I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me. I said hello {#blank#}2{#/blank#} him, smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought, "Why not offer him a piece of chocolate？" So I did. He was quite {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (surprise), but accepted and thanked me. He said that people didn't usually do things like this for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strange) and at least that was what I understood, because he was speaking a really {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (usual) dialect.

    Then he opened one of his bags and gave me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} handful of freshly picked cherries, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) that he had just taken them from his orchard. The cherries were really lovely, better than those in the shops, and I enjoyed them very much. It had been just an impulse (冲动) to offer him a piece of chocolate, but if I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (not do) so, I would never have tasted those lovely cherries, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I didn't even know he had at the time. Life is about giving and taking, and it's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (general) true that if you give, you will receive.
