It was a dreadfully cold and cloudy afternoon. I was on the bus with my children, aged four and two, heading home when it started to rain. I realized this would mean a wet walk home             the bus stop.
 my house was merely two blocks away, it was not a pleasant walk with one small boy asleep in the pram (手推婴儿车), the other one in a raincoat and no umbrella for myself. A pick-up truck passed us on the road. I tried to thumb a ride but failed. My little boy woke up with a start and began to cry. I     (convince) that things might become worse and nobody would bother to help on such a terrible day.
A few minutes later,     truck drove by, but to my surprise, I saw it   (pull) back and the driver looking directly at us.
A young man put the window down. “Hey, here’s an umbrella for you, please take    .” He called out.
I stood there     (astonish), barely believing that the man    existence was unknown to me only moments ago, could be so    (consider). “Come on, give this to your mummy,” he said to my older son. I accepted the offer and expressed my gratitude to him.
This man might have needed the umbrella for himself 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 in return.

Christmas 2003 was bittersweet for Mars scientists. Because one gift they      (desperate)wanted never arrived: The British-built spacecraft Beagle 2   (schedule)to land on the Red Planet, radio home the good news and begin a search for life. Instead, mission     (control) heard nothing. They finally declared the Beagle 2 lost after months of silence. Many space scientists thought    crash-landed or broke up in the thin Martian atmosphere.
But now Beagle 2’s final resting place has been found. New images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed the spacecraft in its   (intend) landing region, an enormous impact basin near the Martian equator.
By now, investigators  (gather) enough information to piece together    probably went wrong: the probe’s solar panels seem to have only partially spread out, throttling（限制） Beagle 2’s power     preventing it from phoning home. Without contact with mission control, the probe could not perform any science .
However, the lander appears     (damage) and in good condition, and the remains of a parachute and an atmospheric-entry cover lie hundreds of meters away. Beagle 2 may now be considered a partial success,    (deliver) the United Kingdom a very late Christmas gift: the nation’s first soft landing on another planet.

The secret of staying slim could be as simple as keeping your mind on your meals.
Research suggests that      (free) ourselves from distractions and concentrating completely on the food that is in front of us,   (help) us stay in shape. Such "mindful eating" ensures that the mind is in tune with(协调) the body, enabling it to "hear" the chemical messages  tell it that we are full. Digestion involves a complex series of       (signal) between the gut(肠道) and the nervous system and it takes about 20 minutes for the brain _ (tell) that the body has eaten enough. This means that if someone eats too quickly, the signals will come slowly, leading to overeating. Scientists say that distractions make it      (hard) for us to remember what we have eaten. This absent-mindedness stops us from feeling full _  sends us reaching for some snacks later on. It is thought that our memory of what we have eaten plays a key role   controlling appetite.

Before snacking, dieters should ask themselves if they are really hungry and if not, distract themselves by going for a walk or reading.
Done     (proper), mindful eating may not only leave you slim, but also make you enjoy mealtimes.
