Nobody knows for we cant see it or _3_ it and no amount of money can _4_ it. Time is abstract, so we have to _5_ about it. Time passes very quickly. Some students say they dont have _6_ time to review all their lessons. It is because they dont know how to make _7_ of their time. They waste it in going to theatres, cinemas and parks, and doing _8_ things. Why do we study every day? Why do we _9_? Why do most people would rather _10_ buses instead of walking? The _11_ is very simple. We wish to save time because time is _12_. Today we are living in the 21st century. We look upon time as _13_. When a person dies, his life _14_. Since life is short, we must _15_ our time and energy to our study so that we may be able to _16_ the people well in the future. Laziness is the _17_ of time, for it does not only bring us failure but also _18_ us other harm. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, let us do it today and not _19_ it until tomorrow.

In _1_ it is a place for vehicle maintenance. More than ten years ago, I came to America on business and I _2_ advantage of the chance to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to _3_ me at the airport, and took me to his home. _4_ the airport, my friend drove his car into the innermost lane, _5_ had a sign “carpool only”. I wondered what “carpool” meant. I felt _6_ whether he was going to a motorpool. So I thought myself _7_ in asking: “Is there anything wrong with the car?” “Nothing, _8_?” said he. “Well then, why are you going to a carpool?” I responded. My friend couldnt help _9_ and told me that “carpool” _10_ to the lane that only the cars with two or more passengers can _11_. I felt rather embarrassed _12_ that. After dinner, my friends neighbor _13_ to ask whether he could carpool the next day. “_14_,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was puzzled again, _15_ why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled” _16_. My friend explained to me again that the “ carpool” with him that _17_ used meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save _18_.

If I have _1_ with a Chinese host, he always presses_2_ food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied the previous helping(份额). That often makes me _3_ very awkward(尴尬). I have to eat the food even if I dont _4_ it, because it is considered _5_ manners in the West to _6_ ones food on the plate. I have also _7_ that when a Chinese sits at an Americans dinner party, he very often _8_ the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or _9_. This might be good manners in China, but it is certainly_10_ in the West. In the United States, it is_11_ to keep asking someone again and again or press something on him. Americans are very _12_. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “_13_” Heres an example: When an American is offered _14_ by the host, and he doesnt feel like beer, he will probably say, “No, thanks. I just dont feel like it. Ill _15_ some diet Pepsi-Cola if you have it.” That is _16_ an American will do. _17_are taught that “Honesty is the best policy”. But in some countries, courtesy(谦虚) might be more important than _18_. So when I am here in China, I have to observe the _19_ here. But when you go to _20_, you had better “Do as the Romans do.”1.

So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was _4_ every time. In one station, a _5_ lady told me that large stations wouldnt employ a person without _6_ since I just graduated. “Go out of the town and find a small station that might give you _7_,” she said. I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had _8_ in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to _9_ its sports department. The job sounded just _10_ for me but I wasnt hired. My disappointment had _11_ as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom _12_ me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport.

After I left his office, I asked aloud “_14_ can a fellow get to be a sports _15_ if he cant get a job in a radio station?” _16_, I heard the director calling. “Do you know anything about _17_?” Then he asked me to _18_ an imaginary game.

I know it wasnt a dog that had done it, because the rest of the sheep were _1_. It could have been a(n) _2_ or it could have been the Godfreys, Turpins, Harries or Freedoms. They were the families that did everything _3_ in the country. Fred and I walked along the fence, looking for _4_. Some of the fence stones at a pile had been knocked _5_ together with a little wool on a branch of the fence. Outside the fence were _6_ marks of work boots among a lot of _7_ footprints. It was quite clear that it was the _8_ of only one man, whose footprints kept _9_ Fred until he was sure that were all _10_. On the way to report to the police, I did some _11_.
