Museum of Natural History,I saw　 1　 elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.As I looked　 2　 (close)at this girl,I found that she was fixed on her chair.I then realized she had no arms or legs,just a head,a neck and upper body,?　 3　 (dress)in a little white skirt.As the couple wheeled her up to me,I turned my head toward the girl.When I took the money from her grandparents,I looked back　 4　 the girl,who was giving me the most optimistic,largest smile I had ever seen.All of a sudden,her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl,?　 5　 smile just melted me　 6　 almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of　 7　 life is all about.She took me from a poor,unhappy college student and　 8　 (bring)me into her world:a world of smiles,love and　 9　 (warm).I?m a successful business man now and whenever I think about the troubles of the world,I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught　 10　 .　

A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at a big firm.

The HR manager　 1　 (interview)him,then a test:clean the floor.“You are hired,” he said,“Give me your email address,?　 2　 I^,ll send you the application to fill.” The man replied,“I don^,t have a computer,?　 3　 an email.”

The man thought for a while,and replied，“An office boy!”
