15．According to somereligious （religion） beliefs，the earth was once recognized as the center of the universe．

14．Recently，I failed an exam．However，after I came out of my teacher's office，I told myself"smile!It's not so serious．"
I smiled a big smile and （71）it worked a little，really．
Everyone gets frustrated sometimes．I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits．But one day I came （72）acrossa sentence in the Bible："Do not be anxious about tomorrow，for tomorrow will be anxious for itself．Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day．"It suddenly （73）struck （strike）me，"（74）Worrying（worry） about a problem doesn't help．Why not just give a big smile and face up to the trouble？"
Now every time I want to cry，I remind myself that （75）laughter（laugh） is better than tears and anger．I am （76）convinced（convince） that there'something magical about a smile．A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me （77）the courage to move on．
Remember，whenever you're faced with a setback （挫折），whenever you've been （78）unfairly（fair） treated，（79）what/all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again．Smile at life，（80）andit will shine on you．

13．To my great joy，I have broken away from my bad habit which almost ruined me．Two years ago，I happened to come across Tom，（61）who was lost in gambling（赌博）．Things of one kind come together．As I was also not interested in schoolwork，we became good friends．Though every day，the teacher assigned us a great deal of homework，we took no notice of it．In the classroom，I couldn't focus （62）on what the teacher taught．As a result，my academic performance was becoming from bad to （63）worse（bad）．As I couldn't find any fun in school，I played poker whenever I was free．At （64）thebeginning，we just played for fun，but not soon later，we played for gambling．（65）It really made me happy even excited．However，I felt upset because I （66）has lost（lose） quite a little money in the gamble．I began to be worried all the time．My father found （67）what happened to me and shouted at me，saying that I would end up in prison （68）if I didn't attempt to leave those who gambled．He tried to persuade me to go back to school and begged my head teacher （69）to help（help） me with my study．（70）Following（follow） his advice，I tried to study hard．It seemed as if I never ran out of my energy．Where there is a will there is a way．I became one of the top students in my school．

12．American English has its own idioms．Let's say you buy something in a shop．And（61）when/after you pay for it，you say：This cost （62）me an arm and a leg!What do you really mean by （63）saying（say） so？Do you have to give them your arm and your leg？I hope not．Let's listen to an American English conversation （64）to see/and see（see） if we can find out what this means．
A：Did you buy that new computer？
B：Yeah，I did．But I （65）shouldn't/oughtn't to have bought i
A：Why do you say so？Is there anything wrong with it？
B：Not exactly，but，as a matter of fact，it cost the way more than I （66）expected/had expected（expect） it to be．
A：（67）How muchdid it cost？
B：Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg!
When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg，it actually means that （68）the/its price is very，very high，much （69）higher（high） than we can accept．If you use this （70）phrase/idiom/expressionin the United States，everyone there will understand you．But this is an informal phrase，so don't use it in a formal business setting．
