Housing reform (改革) is considered as tied 1 China's economic reform. It is 2 by selling of housing and 3 rents. It intends to 4 statefunded housing into commercialization (商品化) 5 privatization (私有化) of housing. This transformation (改观) has brought some benefical 6 on society.

　　One major benefit is that it has greatly relieved (减轻) housing 7 which have long been a headache of the government. As city-dwellers are 8 to invest (投资) in and buy their 9 houses, the state's financial burden is resolved, and the housing construction is 10 up. Then the money collected from house 11 can be further used as investments to build 12 residential dwellings. 13 a result, many people have not 14 obtained their own houses, but also had 15 spacious (宽敞的) rooms.

　　However, there exist some 16 on housing reform. Some people complain that they 17 afford to buy a dwelling house if the price is too high. 18 are worried that if they do not purchase one 19 , they will have to pay much more in the future. Anyway, these complaints and worries are surely 20 the consideration of the government.

　　I went into a favorite restaurant of mine one evening to have my meal. I knew the owner very well. 1 I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked round to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was 2 that I noticed a man sitting at a corner table 3 watching in my direction, as if he knew me. The man had a newspaper open 4 him, which he was 5 to read, though all the while I would see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought the soup, the man was clearly 6 by the familiar way in which the waiter and I talked to each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and he grew more and more obvious that I was well 7 in the restaurant. In the end he got up and went to the kitchen. After a few minutes he came 8 again, paid his bill and left without 9 look in my direction.

　　When I had finished and was 10 to pay my bill. I called the owner of the restaurant over and 11 him what the man had wanted. The owner at 12 didn't want to tell me. I 13 .“Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “ 14 ?” I said, much surprised. “He followed you here because he 15 you were the man he was looking for.”the owner said, “He showed me a photograph of the 16 man. He certainly looked 17 you! Of course since we know you here. I was able to make him 18 that he had made a mistake.”“It's 19 I came to a restaurant where I'm known,” I said, “otherwise I 20 have been taken to the police station!”

　　After I had been waiting there for more than ten minutes, I felt certain I 1 have missed the bus. There was 2 one thing I could do about that: I should just have to 3 home. Of course it was entirely my own 4 Alice had told me the last bus always 5 Little Sutta at ten thirty 6 and it was now ten to eleven.

　　It would take me at 7 an hour and a half and possibly more to walk to my home in Forest End. 8 there was a full moon in the sky and I was quite 9 to walking much farther than that. Perhaps I'd better not take the short cut 10 the woods: I might easily 11 my way in the darkness.

　　I was halfway home when I heard a car 12 slowly behind me. Could it be my 13 or was it actually following me down the hill? Why 14 should it be making such slow progress? In my opinion, 15 action is better than anxiety, so I stood 16 as if I were waiting for it to pass me. It 17 just behind me. The door 18 and a man got out, who said anxiously, “Have you any 19 where we can get petrol at this time of night? We've 20 out completely.”

I decide 7 this isn't a good time to 8 the mountains. But I 9 to go somewhere else.
