Jim is my friend. He likes music and often buys music {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(magazine). There is a CD shop near his home. He often visits {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (冠词) shop after school. He also likes going to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (concert) when he isn't busy. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sing) well too and he likes listening to old {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (song).

    From an early age, Parker always said that he would be an astronaut. But no matter {#blank#}1{#/blank#} much he studied, worked, and took tests, he never passed. Finally, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(grow) over the maximum(最高的) age for taking the test. He would never be able to realize his dream.

    People {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(feel)sorry for his dream. Although he {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tell) about having to give up his dream, Parker continued training and studying, as though he was going to sit the tests next month.

    He carried this on as he got {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(old), and when he was a very old man he heard that they were doing some very important medical experiments. For those experiments they needed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}very old astronaut. Parker, who now walked with a stick, was the only old man in the whole world who was trained to fly in a rocket.

    So Parker found {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(he) flying in space at last. The experiments were very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (succeed). The knowledge from the experiments helped doctors to cure one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bad)sicknesses for old people, and Parker was celebrated as a hero. Photos of the astronaut with a walking stick and no {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(tooth) spread all over the world. It showed that persistent effort always brings reward, even though that reward may not be in the form we had first expected.

    One Sunday morning, I wanted to buy a computer to use for school.  I went to the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(big) store in town, which sold all kinds of computers. There were {#blank#}2{#/blank#}many computers there that I didn't know" how to choose a right one. Then a young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a student like me .I had a strange feeling as if I had met him before.  He began showing me each model {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(patient). With his help, I decided {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(buy) one computer with enough functions at a very low price. I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile. A few {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(month) later, something was wrong with my computer. I went back to the store to have it repaired. When I arrived there, what I saw was still his smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(solve) the problem for me. I was quite thankful for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(he) sweet smile and good service.

    When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind. I realized smiling is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} most peaceful language in the daily life. I don't know {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we'll meet each other again, but his sweet smile will stay there in my memory and deep in my heart.
