When I was young, I always helped my grandfather in the fields. As I worked beside him, he １ to tell a story about a man named Joe, and his wife, who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were setting into the new place ２ a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the earth. Joe was very 3 , and told his sons about it.
They began to dig in one corner, and they got to the end of the field. At the same time, Joe thought he would 4 some crops where the earth had been 5 . The plants included corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. His sons continued to dig through the soil, made up their mind to find the gold. Since 6 soil was being turned, Joe could plant more crops. Joe had never farmed before, but it had always been his 7 .
As different crops came ready to be harvested, Joe started to 8 that there were more vegetables than he and his family could ever 9 . One of Joe’s neighbors suggested that he 10 a vegetable shop. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetable. Joe even had to leave some crops in the fields, 11 he had more than enough to supply the vegetable shop.
This went on for years, and Joe and his wife became quite 12 from their little vegetable shop. They were even able to 13 their sons to college.
Remember the beginning of the story, when Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe’s 14 of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually meant that his land had rich 15 . So you can see where the concept（概念）of gold comes from.

Reporters from NHK, the country’s largest TV station, stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake, even though some were facing real danger.
The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country’s history. But Japan’s reaction(反应) to the accident has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared country in the world. The calm the Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.
This is because Japan has “an earthquake culture”.Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to earthquakes from a young age.
Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month. They make students become familiar with being in an earthquake.
Japan also has a good earthquake warning system（警报系统）.Warnings were broadcast on television, radio and mobile phones nine seconds after experts(专家)first knew about the quake on March 11.
The warning system is unable to predict earthquakes. But it can usually alert people about 15 seconds before they feel the effects. Even 15 or 20 seconds can be enough time to save people’s lives.

Though we were poor, my sister managed to buy me a pair of “magic shoes” that changed my life.
Anne is six years older than me. Growing up, we were very poor, and my mother worked evenings at a factory in a small town. Not seeing my mother much, Anne took over much of the support. During those teenage years, Anne was always there for me, not only as a big sister, but as a mother and my best friend.
When I was seventeen，I had no money. I thought my only chance of going to college was trying to win a scholarship. I had an important interview for such an award. I told her about my interview, that General Motors was sending me a bus ticket, and I would get to visit the city for my scholarship interview. I was excited about the adventure* and asked her advice on what to wear. I showed her my best coat and how I planned to be careful, how I sat so that the hole in the bottom of my shoe would not be seen, but I wasn’t sure what I would do if it rained.
Anne suggested that we should go shopping, and we took the bus to a store. There we found a beautiful pair of leather shoes on sale. She told me to try them on, but I thought it was just for fun .As neither of us had ever owned anything that expensive before. But this time was different. Anne handed me the boxed shoes and said, “Here, I’ll buy these for you.”
“But…” was all I could say.
“You deserve* them,” she replied. “I want to see you get that scholarship.”
I went to the interview and crossed my legs so that my beautiful new shoes shone with pride. I won the scholarship and became an engineer. Now, after twenty years have passed, I still have that pair of shoes with me, and I just wear them on those occasions* when I need to feel special. It’s kind of like having magic slippers when you’re homesick.
