Bill doesn't do well in public speaking. One day, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（invite）to make a speech at the church. His {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（young）brother, Ben, knew he was nervous and tried to calm him down. “ Don't worry. Everything{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) fine.”

    When the day came, Bill's car had an accident{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the way to the church. Luckily, he wasn't badly hurt and got to the church on time. It was his turn. When he stood up, his coat became tangled  (纠缠)with his chair. After a few {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (minute), he began his speech, but he was so nervous {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he dropped his book. Many people thought he would run, but he went on.

    Suddenly, people saw something{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (usual) running down from his nose, blood! He stopped {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （speak) when he saw the blood. But he still tried to finish his speech. Then Ben quietly moved to the front and handed him his handkerchief(手帕).Then he gave him a smile and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (return) to his seat.

    It was a really simple gesture, and might be the simplest. He just saw someone in need, and gave him a hand. In the end, Bill finished his talk{#blank#}10{#/blank#} more confidence.

    It was the early autumn of my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} year at a new school. At first no one knew me. I felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and was afraid to make friends with anyone. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem. Then one day, a girl looked at me and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when I sat in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I felt the touch of something bright and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. It made me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} happy, lively and warm. Day by day, I learnt to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people and the girl has {#blank#}8{#/blank#} my best friend. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. Smile at the world and it will smile back.

— It's in the bedroom.

    If you are asked the question "What colour is the sky?" I believe you will answer blue. But I am afraid you are{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the blue sunlight. The sunlight {#blank#}3{#/blank#} on the little bits of dust(灰尘) in the air.

    Is the sky full of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}? I am sure that you are asked this question, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. We know that there is air all around the world. We could not live{#blank#}6{#/blank#} air. Planes could not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} if there is not any air. If we go far enough {#blank#}8{#/blank#} from the earth, then we will find there is no air. Perhaps we can answer some of our questions now.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} is the sky? The sky is space. It is all around the world. There is nothing but the sun, the moon and the stars {#blank#}10{#/blank#}space.
