A successful businessman was invited to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. He, 【小题1】, only said with a slight smile, “Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you for 【小题2】 (advise) on a certain problem?”

Here is the problem he raised:

“People all rushed to the place 【小题3】 a gold mine had recently been discovered but they were blocked by a river 【小题4】 (flow) across the only way to it. What would you do if you 【小题5】 (be) among them?”

“Make a roundabout (绕行的) way”, someone suggested.

“Swim across”, said another.

The businessman only smiled 【小题6】 a word. Then he gave his view. “Why not do 【小题7】 else instead of rushing to the mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying (摆渡)?”

The audience were shocked. He explained calmly, “The man could make 【小题8】 great amount of money from the passengers. They were willing to pay for the ferry 【小题9】 there was gold on the other bank. ”

Do what others have not thought to do or something never attempted before—that is the key 【小题10】 success. A difficult circumstance, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a potential (潜在的) chance for success.

I’m Jan Hasek,【小题1】 old miner from the Czech Republic.In April 1945, I【小题2】 (hear) something explode at midnight.I got up and【小题3】 (run) outside.The sound came from a mine 【小题4】 hadn’t been used for a long time.Suddenly I saw some German soldiers【小题5】the light of the moon.They 【小题6】 (take) wooden boxes from trucks and putting them in the mine.

A week later I decided【小题7】 (go) and see for myself. To my surprise, the entrance【小题8】 the mine was closed.Some people say that the Amber Room and some gold【小题9】 (bury) in the mine.I think it might be so,as the Amber Room has never 【小题10】(find).

Aircraft carriers (航母) are kind of cool. Anybody 【小题1】 has ever seen “Top Gun” can prove it. But only a few of the world’s navies (海军) have the ability to build them. In 2017, China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) 【小题2】 (join) that club, launching the Shandong, the country’s first domestically designed and 【小题3】 (build) aircraft carrier.

The carrier is now getting its own clothing line, 【小题4】 collection of T-shirts, jackets, and basketball shorts and so on, as China tries to increase the military’s 【小题5】 (popular) among young people.

Showed via a street-style photo shoot, which sees models posing in front of the 70,000-ton ship, the collection combines practical workwear (工作服) 【小题6】 casual items bearing (带有) cartoon pictures. One T-shirt 【小题7】 (print) with the image of a robot panda with jets in both paws.

A PLA Navy website sees wearing the clothing as a patriotic (爱国的) statement. “Passion is the love of the aircraft carrier cause,” it says. “It’s the love of the battle position.” For those 【小题8】 (serve) on the Shandong, the clothing lets them show their pride by 【小题9】 (confident) telling the world, “I am from the Shandong ship of the Chinese Navy,” reads a post on the website. “This is the 【小题10】 (proud) announcement of sailors,” it adds.
