    Once upon a time, there was a very old man called Yu Gong. He lived with his family in a village and there were two big and 1 mountains near his house. They spent a long time 2 to the other side.

    One day, Yu Gong told his family that they must move the mountains to other places.3 this, everyone in his family was laughing at him. One of his sons said, "Are you kidding? ""No, I'm serious and all of you must do it with me. "Everyone was 4 at that time. They really didn't want to do it, but they had to do because the oldest man in the family was 5 important person at that time.

    The next day everyone in Yu Gong's family started to dig the mountains. They put the stones and the earth 6 the sea. One day a man saw Yu Gong and his children 7 the mountains. He told Yu Gong he would never do it. But Yu Gong said though he was 8 and would die, his family could continue to move the mountains. Then they kept on digging day after day and year after year.

    Finally a god was so moved by Yu Gong 9 he sent two gods to help Yu Gong move the mountains away.

    The 10 reminds us that you can never know what's possible unless you try to make it happen.

    I was in a hurry as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for! A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.

    I found myself at a checkout counter 1 an elderly woman who was going to pay for her groceries. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and comforting-and I smiled back.

    "It must be a special lady to get those beautiful flowers," she said.

    "Yes, she's special," I said, and then to my surprise, the words kept 2 

    "It's only our second date to meet, but somehow I am just having the feeling she's the one'. " Jokingly, I added, "The only problem is that I can't figure out 3 she'd want to date a guy like me. "

    "Well, I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is clearly in love with her," the woman said, " My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when times were 4 and we didn't have much money. Those were unforgettable days; he was very romantic and-of course-I miss him since he's passed away,"

    I paid for my flowers as she was5her groceries. Almost immediately, I walked up to her and said," You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady. " I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice talk.

    It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. " You have a wonderful evening," I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart6as I saw her smelling at the beautiful flowers.

    I was a it late for my date that night and told my girlfriend the above story. She smiled. Two years later she told me it was that night that I won her heart.
