Today people can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} / ju:s / the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth. But when you use the phone, you don't see the person you are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(communicate) with. That may change in the future.

      Today some people are using a kind of telephone {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) “Picture phone” or “Vision phone”. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} / wɪð/ it, two people who are talking can see each other.

      Picture phones can be useful when you have something {#blank#}5{#/blank#} show the person you're calling. They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a librarian and ask to borrow a book. Then you'll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping {#blank#}6{#/blank#} your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you'll go to your phone and call the shop. People at the shop will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} / send / you the thing you're interested in right over the phone. You'll be able to shop all over town and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(need)leave your room.

    Once there was a very rich man. He had a lot of money, but he wasn't happy at all. He didn't know the purpose (目标) of his life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(连词) the rich man asked a clever old man for help.

    The old man {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) him to a window and asked him, " What can you see {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (介词) the glass (玻璃)?"

    The man said, "I can see people coming and going along the street And there is a poor man {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ask) for food."

    Then the old man took him to a large mirror (镜子) and said, "Now look in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(冠词) mirror and tell me what you see."

After {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) at the mirror for some time, the man said, "I can only see myself."

    The old man looked at the rich man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (smile) and said, "Did you find that both the glass of the window and the mirror are made of the same thing? The only difference (差别) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) that there is a silver coating (银色涂层) on the mirror. So all you can See is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (you) in the mirror. It is the same with people. You will be able to see the others when you take away that silver coating. It covers (遮住) your {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eye). When you can see the others and feel compassion (同情) and 10ve for them, you'll find the purpose of your life and feel happy."

As I walked to my car at a shopping mall(购物中心), I saw a man. He was sitting on the ground with a board that said, "Please help".

I often 1 $20 to people like him, but now I decided to2 some time as well. I stopped and said, "Come on, brother. Take your things and let's get you some groceries (食品杂货)."

As we walked back into the3 , I knew his name. I learned that he had a place to live,4 had no money to buy food. I also knew that he was happy although he was poor. He shared his story5 , but I still wanted to help him. We started with some fruit and6 . He chose some tomatoes first, then got some carrots and a couple of onions. I 7 him what he hadn't had for a long time. He said 8 . So we chose a nice steak (牛排). As we were 9 , he told me he had two boys. A big pack of noodles went in the 10 . He also asked if he could get some books. Of course, that was fine, too.

I was not sure what had happened to this man, but he was 11 . He just only put what he really needed12 his basket. I know I will not do this all the time, as I don't have enough money to do so next. Treating people with love, kindness and warmth is 13 . Helping others is a good way to help the world, even just in a 14 way. We often feel that there's 15 we can do to make the world better, but that's just not true.

Have you heard of Zhu Yanjun, a middle-aged builder from a small village in Gansu Province? Can you believe that he1 the second prize in Chinese Poetry Competition hosted by CCTV in February, 2023?

Born in a family of farmers, Zhu's love for 2 started from a very young age under the influence of his Chinese teacher. He dreamed of writing his own books one day, just like his teacher.3 he finished middle school, Zhu went to big cities to look for jobs. He worked for house building in more than ten 4 Wherever he was, he went to local bookstores with a notebook. He would take notes from the books and 5 the words in a dictionary to check the meanings.

At the beginning, he read poems from the Tang Dynasty and poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong. As time went by, he found some6 methods to remember them. He especially likes Chairman Mao's words:7 in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. Over the years, he has read 8 poems and can memorize more than 1,000 of them.

There is an old Chinese saying."Reading 10, 000 books is not as good as traveling 10, 000 miles."Zhu said, "9 I have been to many different cities, it is not for travel.I get to know the history and traditions of many places by reading books and poems. It opens up a new 10 for me." Reading also helps him live 11 and he never complains about hard work. There are 12 everywhere in his home, so he can read whenever he wants.

Zhu was very 13 in his children's study. The children were required to finish their homework and do some reading before they play. "Getting a good education is very important for my kids, because knowledge can bring14 a better life," said Zhu.

Zhu is already 50 years old, but he keeps on learning all the time. His story tells us that learning is a lifelong journey. Whether we are old or 15 , we should always learn to improve ourselves. Our life time is limited. Let's put it to good use.
