    Two men, Mr Smith and Mr Martin were both badly ill. They were in the same 1 room. Mr Smith was able to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was  2 the only window of the room.

    Mr Martin had to spend all his time lying on his back. The men 3 for hours without stopping. They spoke of their families, their times, their jobs...

    And every afternoon when Mr Smith could 4 in his bed, he would pass the time by talking to his 5 about all the things that he could see outside the 6 Mr Martin believed that his world was made "larger"" by the" colorful " 7 world.

    Out of the window was a 8 with a lovely lake. Mr Smith told Mr Martin about the beautiful ducks swimming freely on the water, happy children playing around, colorful flowers and big old tress around the lake.

    As Mr Smith told him all this, Mr Martin would close his eyes and tried to make the richest pictures for 9 in his mind...

    Days and 10 passed, and finally, Mr Smith went back home. Then Mr Martin 11 the nurse if he could move to the other bed 12 for him, the nurse said he could. When everything was done, he tried hard to raise himself a bit to see what was outside. To his 13 as he looked out of the window, he saw nothing but a wall.'

    Mr Martin asked the nurse what made Mr Smith able to see so many wonderful things outside. The 14 answered that the man was 15 and could not even see the wall.

    Exams are a time of great stress. This is especially true in East Asia, where students have come up with some interesting ways to make sure they can pass.

    I'm sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.

    According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate (集中注意) better if allowed to play with a small object.

    The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on.

    "I prefer to work on the floor with music on," said Sam, a 13-year-old boy." At first my parent thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last."

    Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.

    To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles(EVs，电动车). Among them, China is' taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

    Last year, over 40 percent of the 753, 000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as large as the number sold in the United States.

    "Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas is more expensive than charging an electric car," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

    However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

    Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31, 000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167，000 charging piles in total.

    Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.

    "As China goes, so will the world's car industry," the Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

    Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mother was one of those people.

    My father died when I was one year-old. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life," Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."

    At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school!

    When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again.

    Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra money for children. Many people did not believe me at that time.

    Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world- Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $I billion a year.

    You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

    People who speak or perform before the public sometimes may have“ Stage Fright" : Stage fright makes a person  (紧张的). In that case it can make one's mind go back and forget what one should say or to act. Actors, dancers, lawyers, even radio show hosts   (经受)from stage fright at one time or another.

    Diana Nichols is an expert in helping people free from stage fright at a medical center in New York City, She helps actors learn to   (控制、操控) themselves. Miss Nichols says some people have always been afraid to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fight  (在......后) a sad experience.

    She offers them ways to reduce the  (害怕). One way is to smile before going onto the stage. Taking two deep breaths  (也) helps.

    Miss Nichols advises her patients. to tell themselves that their  (演讲) or performance does not have to be perfect. It's all right to make a mistake. It is important that they should  (继续) to perform while she is helping them. After each performance, they  (讨论) what happened, and find out what helped and what did not. The more they perform, the  (更少) they will fear. Miss Nichols says the aim is only to reduce stage fright, not "to smooth it away completely. This is because a little stage fright makes a person more careful, and improves the performance.
