Once an Arab was travelling in the desert. When the sun went down in the west, he stopped and 1 his tent, made a fire and had a 2 meal. When night fell, he 3 down to sleep.
He had 4 fallen asleep when he felt a soft 5 on his. elbow (肘). He woke up to find that his camel (骆驼) had put his head inside the tent. The camel said, “Would you please let me keep my head in the tent to get warm? It's so cold outside I won't take up too much 6 .”
The Arab was a 7 man. “All right, do as you 8 .” he said. Then he turned on his 9 and went back to sleep.
It wasn't long 10 he felt a push on his shoulder. It was the camel again. “Dear master,” the camel said, “my head is quite warm now, but my neck is still cold. Do you mind 11 I keep it inside the tent, too?”
“ 12 ,” the man said. But this time he felt a bit 13 , as the camel had such a long neck.
No sooner had he shut his eyes 14 he got a harder push in his side. This time the camel said, “Will you please allow me to bring my front legs inside and warm them up a little?”
The Arab 15 over to one side of the tent. He made 16 as small as he could. It wasn't 17 comfortable, and sleep was now out of 18 .
Soon after that the camel gave him a rough push and said, “The tent is too small for the two of us. 19 , my two hind legs are still left in the cold. It is only 20 that you should leave the tent wholly to me.”
And with that, the camel kicked the poor man out.

“How are you?” is a nice question. It's a ___1___ way that people in the United States ___2__ each other. But “How are you?” is also a very _ ___3___ question. It's a question that often ___4___ have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer“___5___”,even though the person's friend isn't fine, ___6___ “How are you?” isn't really a question, and “Fine” isn't really an answer. They are ___7__ other way of saying “Hello” and“___8___”.
Sometimes, people also don't say just what they ___9___ For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person ___10____ be thinking, “No, I don't agree. I think you're wrong. ” But it isn't very ___11___ to say so, so the other person might say, “I'm not so ___12___” It's a nice way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People ___13___ don't say just what they are thinking when they ___14___ talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone ___15___ when one person says,“I've got to go now.” Often, the person who wants to ___16__ gives an excuse:“Someone is at the door.” “I've got to put the things ___17__.” “Something is burning on the fire.” The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk ____18___, but it isn't very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't ___19___ the other person's feelings.
When they meet each other, talk about an idea, or end a talk, people often don't ___20___ just what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's all part of the game of language!

Many people are tidy both at home and at the office. Nowhere have I seen a 1 untidy office than my friend James’ . Everywhere there are 2 and books.

Dear friends, have you ever met a person like James? or do you find him lovely?
