The four famous rock stars were due to arrive at any moment and a large crowd of young people had gathered at the airport to welcome them. The police found it difficult to keep the crowd under  1  after the plane landed and the performers appeared. They smiled and waved  2  at everybody. Dressed in pink shirts and light blue trousers, and with their long hair and their musical instruments  3  their shoulders, the four young men looked very much  4  .

In spite of the large number of policemen  5  ,it was clear that the group would not be able to get to their waiting car  6  . Word had got out that they had written a new song which would be  7  when they performed at the grand hall that evening. They were now   8  with cries of ¡°Play something! Play your new song!¡±

Even the police looked  9  when the young men unfolded their instruments and prepared to do one of their numbers as the   10  for getting out of the airport. The crowd settled down and listened to the first  11  of the new song. As soon as it was over, there was a great burst of applause and then everyone started  12  and shouting like crazy. Several young women fainted and had to be carried away by the  13  unit which was standing by. Greedy for more, the crowd  14  a repeat performance. Once again the performers gave in, but when the crowd requested still another song, the group cheerfully but firmly  15  . Now, closely surrounded by the police, they put away their  16  and started towards their car which was some distance away. The crowd pushed forward, but the policemen,  17  arm in arm, prevented anyone from getting through. It took the singers a long time to reach their  18  . Finally, however, they got in and were just about to drive away when a young woman, who had somehow  19  to get past the police, jumped onto the roof of the car. She shouted loudly as two policemen  20  her away and the car began moving slowly through the cheering crowd.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .¡°All great discoveries,¡±he said,¡°are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.¡±  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those¡°best years¡±were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.

Do you know insurance£¨±£ÏÕ£©?Buying insurance is a  1   by which people can   2   themselves from large losses. Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay  3   sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only  4   will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay these homes  5   the sums of money it has collected.

The first modern fire insurance company was  6   in London, England, in 1666. A great fire had just  7   most of the city, and people wanted protection against  8   losses. The first company grew rapidly.   9   other companies were founded in other areas.

The new insurance would offer protection against the lose of crops   13   storms. In 1759, Benjamin Franklin helped start  14   new insurance company in America. This company, which   15   life insurance, collected some money  16   from many different men. If a man  17  , his family was given a large sum of money. Today, this company is  18   in business.

The media has a great effect on us in our daily life. Believe it or not. I will tell you a true story of my own.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific   1  ; I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something, that caught my   2  . ¡°All great discoveries, ¡±he said, ¡°are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. ¡±  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.   4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the   5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that   8   to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world changing theory of relativity. Well,   9   of that. Yet. I   10  , if those¡°best years¡±were true in other   11  . How about the field of   12  ? Surely it needed the wisdom of age make a good leader. Perhaps it   13 , but look when these people   14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   the best years come after thirty? After thirty, I  17  , most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was   19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still   20   for me.

Dorothy Brown was very happy as she sat in the theatre listening to the music. Today her little daughter, Lauren was giving her   1   concert. She had been   2   for this   3   for years. ¡°Now it is here at last!¡± she thought, ¡°How beautiful her   4   is!¡± The song made her   5   to the days when she was Lauren's   6  . As a young   7  , Dorothy wanted to be a concert singer. She studied music in France, Italy and in the United States. ¡°You   8   become a fine   9   in the future, ¡± her teachers told her, ¡°but you must be prepared to study hard and work for many years. There will be no time for anything   10   music in your life. ¡±

Dorothy was   11   at that time and she was   12   that music was   13   she wanted or needed to   14   her life. For almost a year Dorothy   15   of nothing else. Then she met with David, a young engineer travelling Europe. They soon fell in   16  . David asked her to be his   17  . Dorothy also wanted to marry David. But she loved   18  , too. She didn¡¯t know   19   to do. David was against her being a singer. He said, ¡°If you want to be a concert singer, you must forget about getting married. You can¡¯t   20   do both. ¡± Thus her days were gone and would never return.

Now Lauren became a singer instead of her, which was her hope.

We find different kinds of animals in the world. Some animals such as tigers and lions live in   1   forests and they are called   2   animals. Some others like sheep and dogs are kept by men and they are called domestic(¼ÒÑøµÄ) animals.   3   these animals are very different from each other, but we can   4   them into two big groups: those that eat other animals and those that eat grass and leaves. Animals like the tiger belong to the first group. Animals like cows, elephants and horses belong to the second group.

Animals are of great   5   to human beings. Men   6   wild animals for their fur and meat. Domestic animals are even more important to men. Without them life will be very   7  . People make use of animals in many ways.
