    A professor(教授) told his students to go into the city slums(贫民窟) to study the life of 200 boys. He asked them to write reports about each boy's life and future. One of the students wrote, “They don't have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hope．”

    Twenty-five years later，{#blank#}2{#/blank#} professor read about the earlier study. He told his students to find out {#blank#}3{#/blank#} had happened to the boys. They tried very hard and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that 176 of the boys had become successful as doctors, teachers and scientists.

    The professor was very surprised and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to study it further．Luckily, all of them were living near the place and he was able to ask each one, “What made you successful? ” Each one answered, “It was a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . ”

    The teacher was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} living there, so the professor found her and asked the old woman what she had done to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} those boys out of the slums, and change them into  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people.

    The teacher's eyes began to shine and said {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a sweet smile, “It's really very easy. I love those boys. ”

    Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this p{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. To his great surprise, he found himself {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (stare) at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he). He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (come) back and visit it often."

    In this same village, a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (friendly) looking dogs staring back at him, he growled(咆哮) at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there {#blank#}9{#/blank#}."

    All the f{#blank#}10{#/blank#} in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections(反映) do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

    A man was walking through a large city. On a street corner，he saw a boy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sell) a number of small birds in a cage(笼子)．

    He looked at the birds flying about in the cage and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（try）to get out. He stood for some time looking at the birds .At last he said to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(冠词)boy，“How much do you ask for your birds？” “Fifty cents a bird，sir，” said the boy. “I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(not) mean how much a bird，” said the man，“{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (连词)how much for all of them? I expect to buy{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（it） all.”

    The boy began to count，and found they came to five dollars. “There is your money，” said the man. The boy took it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(happy).Then the man opened the cage door as quickly as he could，and let all the birds {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fly)away.

    The boy，in great surprise，cried，“What did you do that{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（介词），sir？You have lost all your birds.”

    “I will tell you why I did it，” said the man.“ I has been shut up for three years in a prison(监狱), and I{#blank#}10{#/blank#}decide) never to see anything in prison which I can make free.”

    Everyone knows "the one-child policy". It is a(n) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}to control (控制) population. Chinese government {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to control the increasing population at first. Chinese people understood that and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}that policy for about 40 years.
