Bob and David are good friends,but they like to j 1       on each other sometimes. One day they went to London for their holidays. They went to the station and bought their tickets. When the train arrived,Bob got on the train first,but he d 2       his ticket on the platform (站臺) without k 3       it. David was behind him and quickly p 4       it up. Without saying a word to his friend,he put it in his pocket.

  After they had been in the train for a little w 5       ,they saw the conductor (列車員) coming along,s 6      ， " Ticket,please！ " Bob looked for his and of course he couldn't find it.

  "Oh,dear,I can't find my ticket,David," he said.

  "Have a 7       look,Bob; it must be somewhere," said David. " No,I can't find it anywhere. What shall I do?"

  "Perhaps you'd better h 8      under the seat so that the conductor won't see you."

  So Bob crawled (爬) under the seat and 1 9       there quietly. Soon the conductor stood in front of David. "Ticket,please," he said.

  David handed him two tickets and said, "This is mine. The other is my friend's. He p 10      to travel under the seat."

 Long long ago,people didn't wear shoes. There was a king who went to travel far into the countryside. He felt very u 1      and unhappy because there were many stones on the road and they made his feet h 2       a lot.

  As soon as he returned to his palace,he a 3       an order that all the roads should be covered with cattle hide (用黃牛皮覆蓋) .He thought it was good not only for himself but also for the other people and hoped w 4       would no longer be a terrible thing. But there were not e 5       cattle hide. They couldn't do that. A servant in the palace said, "Why not take an easier w 6       ? You don't have to cover the roads with cattle hide. What you have to do is just to cover each of your f 7       with a piece of cattle hide."Surprised and pleased,the king changed his m 8      and asked people to do as the clever servant said.

  It is said to be the origin (起源) of m 9       shoes. Though it sounds funny and strange,it makes us think. It is much e 10      to change oneself than to change the world. When you change your way of thinking,maybe you'll find it easier to solve a problem.

  "You're right ," a 6      Jerry. " But she is one of the m 7       thoughtful students we have in class. She would always treat people fairly." 

  "Do you think we could ask her to use less makeup and not to w 8       strange clothes?" Carla asked.
