Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life.    these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop    (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.

Mary took off her shoes and ran over the hot sand. She tiptoed into the water,       (laugh) as a wave washed over her legs. She looked back at her mother,      was sitting under a big umbrella, holding an apple in one hand and a drink in the      .
Just then, a big wave came and       (sweep) Mary's feet, making her fall into the water. She tried to scream,     swallowed some water instead. She didn't know     way was up or down. She pushed with her hand against     sand and came up for air. She screamed desperately and tried hard to swim.
When she       (final) returned to the shore, Mary ran over to her mother, who was standing up      a worried look on her face.
But to her mother’s surprise, Mary said, “This is the       (good)  vacation ever, Mum. Come and play with me in the water.”

What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes? Do you choose something     (fashion) or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes     your friends? Do you go for this year’s colours? Is it the logo — the company symbol — that
  (catch) your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes?     helps you choose the clothes you like?
Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. The best-known clothing companies sell their “designer” clothes all over the world.     number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by some other companies less famous.    , many people still prefer them to   ordinary but comfortable clothes. Why?
Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy “designer” clothes     they think they look cool. Then the less famous companies make clothes     look the same. But they don’t sell as well because they don’t have the logo.
People also think “designer” clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right    (run) shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not     true. It’s the training — not the trainers or the equipments — that improves your speed or your score.

A young man put the window down. “Hey, here’s an umbrella for you --- please take it.” He called out.
I stood there    (astonish), barely believing that the man,   existence was unknown to me only moments ago, could be so    (thought). “Come on, give this to your mummy,” he said to my older son. I gratefully accepted the offer,   (thank) him and watched the truck disappear down the road.
This man might have needed the umbrella for    later during the day but preferred to give it to me. It was a lesson to me    it’s possible to give without expecting anything    return.
