8.Two minds with a single thought!
The young fisherman is thinking of a way to cross the stream without getting his (71)Dwet.The engineer is thinking of a (72)C to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet.You know the answer to (73)B problems:a bridge.
The fisherman's bridge doesn't take(74)A to build.Just place a board across the little stream and you(75)A.If the board is strong enough and if the fisherman doesn't (76)D too much,all will be well.
Will the engineer (77)C the same kind of bridge?You know he (78)B and you know why.Automobiles are much heavier than (79)D.The river is much(80)A than the stream.A long wood bridge just won't (81)A.It isn't strong enough.It would (82)C and break under its own weight.The fisherman's problem is very (83)B.However,the engineer's is not.
But don't(84)C sorry for the engineer.He doesn't have to (85)D the very beginning with a long board.People have been thinking about bridges for thousands of years.They have designed many types of bridges.Each bridge is suited to its special (86)B.The engineer can choose the type best suited to the river and the(87)A nearby.
What choice does he have,and why is one (88)D than the others?One way for you to find out is to make a few bridges out of cardboard.They won't be strong enough to (89)C a five-ton truck,but you will find out some of the main(90)B of bridge design by doing some experiments.

3.When my family moved to America in 2010from a small village in Guangdong,China,we brought not only our luggage,but also our village rules,customs and culture.One of the rules is (41)B young people should always respect elders.Unluckily,this rule (42)B my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a (43)D in a Chinese restaurant.One time,when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served so (44)C .I told her that I (45)B they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that,her face showed great (46)D.My manager,who(47)Bto hear what I said,took me aside and gave me a long (48)D about how sensitive Americans are and (49)C they dislike the description"old".I then walked back to the table and(50)C to the wife.After the couple heard my reason,they understood that the problem was caused by (51)B differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China,people are(52)Dof being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such a(n) (53)A have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people (54)D they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However,in the United States,people think"growing old"is a (55)Asince"old"shows a person is going to retire or(56)Dthe body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from (57)Cold by doing exercises or jogging,and women put on makeup,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly,they got angry because this caused them (58)Bthey had (59)C to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
After that,I changed the (60)C I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more; I still respect them,but now I don't show my feelings through words.
