An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon he had nothing left. Of course , when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.
“My money has finished and my friends have gone, said the young man. What will happen to me now?”
“Don't worry , young man” answered Nasreddin. “Everything will soon be all right again. Wait ,and you will soon feel much happier.”
The young man was very glad. “Am I going to get rich again then?” He asked Nasreddin.
“No, I didn't mean that, said the old man. I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends.”

Men have always wondered about the earth they live on and about the ①_____ above them.

         When early men looked at the night sky, they asked themselves a lot of questions. They looked at the moon, and wondered what this strange bright object in the sky was. They did not understand why it changed its shape from night to night. They looked at the stars and planets. They also wondered why some of them changed their positions, while others did not.

         ②他们也思考地球的形状。 Most early people believed the earth was flat.

         ③In different parts of the world, there were different ideas about the universe. The ancient Greeks were the first people to study the universe more scientifically. In the sixth century BC Pythagoras put forward the idea that the world was round. However, he could not explain why people at the bottom of the world did not fall off.

         It was not until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that scientists found the answers to some important questions. ④With the help of Galileo’s telescope, people could see the sky more clearly, and find the positions of the stars and planets. Finally in 1665, Isaac Newton explained to the world what gravity (重力) was and people at last understood why they did not fall off the earth.

About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our local park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on a smaller, skinnier boy. They were   31  him names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face.   32  I saw that, I walked over to the group.
I stepped   33  them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of   34  they were doing to him. One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” At that, I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the   35  was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird”   36 , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue(暗示). I told them that everyone is   37 , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood   38  for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He   39   to let him play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so   40 . As I looked around, I realized that there were dozens of other people at the park   41  no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to stand up against his friends to   42  someone in need, but I felt sad that   43  else had even taken a second look.
I hope that my action helped them   44  that they could have made a difference with a little   45 , and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.
