When I talked with the man, I found that from his childhood he develops the
habit of carrying the book in his pocket all the time. He was used to read every minute when he had anything else to do. He found a book especial useful during the periods of waiting: waiting doctors, meals ,buses and so on... That was why he found himself fifteen minute a day for reading. That was how she read twenty books a year-----one thousand of books all his lifetime.
Last night, my dad showed me something special that I had never seen before. It was 1. old box which contained many silver coins. My dad has been collecting old silver coins 2. he was a kid. But I didn’t know 3. he had put all his coins he showed them to me. He said his father used to do the same. He decided to give me his collection when I was to move out to live 4. my own. I knew the 5.(choose) I made was a difficult one, but I wanted to do things by myself.
My father divided his collection into two parts and told me to use6. only when I really got into trouble. I didn’t understand what he7.(mean), so he
explained it to me. And I didn’t know whether I could sell them or not, so I asked my
father some other questions about them and he answered them8.(patience) one by one. He said he only sold9. of his coins to help him finish his studies
many years ago. After10.(take) out part of the coins, I thanked him and
promised that I would use them wisely.
Yesterday evening I was watching the evening news on TV. The news was about a prize for scientific discoveries. The ______ said something that caught my ______. “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the ages of 25 and 30.” Being a little over 30 myself, I wanted to ______ with him. Nobody wants to think that he has passed the age of making any ______. The next day I went to the public library, spending several hours, and ______ to find the ages of famous people and their discoveries. The announcer was right!
First, I looked at some of the ______ discoveries. One of the earliest, the famous one that ______that bodies of different weights ______ at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he ______ his world-changing Theory of Relativity. Well, ______ of that. Yet I wondered if those “best years” were true in other ______.
Then how about this in ______? Surely it needs the wisdom of ______ to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people ______ their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln ______ the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six!
But why don’t best years come after 30? After 30, I ______, most people don’t want to take risks or try new ways. Then I thought of people ______ Shakespeare and Picasso.

Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.
Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.
