Johnny, a lizard (蜥蜴），lived between some rocks in the country, where he liked sunbathing every morning. One day, he felt so       that he didn’t notice some boys coming up behind him. The boys caught Johnny, and he could only escape from their hands by losing his       and running to hide.
The children watched his tail moving about, but they soon threw the tail away and left. Johnny came out to       his tail, but could find no       of it. Feeling so sad, he decided to       doing everything else in his life and spending all his time finding his tail. Days and months passed, and Johnny kept looking, asking everyone       they had seen his tail. However, there was      no news about it.
One day, he asked a boy and the boy       replied, “Why do you need two tails?” After hearing this, Johnny turned back and saw that he had grown a new, stronger tail. He suddenly realised how       it had been to waste so much time on a problem like it. Johnny headed for home.
    , he suddenly found his old tail on the roadside. Although it       terrible, Johnny was still excited to have it back. He picked it up and was about to       his journey. Just at that moment, an idea hit him that he shouldn’t look at the past and worry about it since it was not useful for      .
He then decided to       his old tail there, leaving with it all his past worries. As he continued his journey, all he took with him were thoughts of the present and the dreams of the       .
As we know, it’s not good to look at the past, unless it helps in the future. Let the past go with the wind.

Two old men lived in a room on the third floor of an old people’s home.   1   of the men were badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a   2   in bed in the room.

One of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day, he   3  hours telling his friend what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park and the birds flying around．The old man far from the window got a lot of  4  from hearing about the world outside, but after a time, he began to get rather unhappy.   5  nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see   6   himself.

    One night, the man by the window called his friend, “Quick! Pull the alarm by your bed—I don’t think I can go through the night!”   7   his friend, expecting an empty bed by the window, did nothing—he just closed his  8   and went back to sleep.

The next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window.

    The old man was very   9  as they moved him into the empty bed by the window. He sat up, pulled back the curtain（窗帘）, looked out—but   10  , he saw only a wall.
