My grandfather is sixty-five years old. He often1me something about his life when he was young.

    When he was five, he 2school. The school was far away 3his home. There were only some old dirt(泥)4and he had to walk to school every day.

    He had to take care of the animals. He5 the cows after he got up so his family had milk for breakfast. He 6 feed some chickens and sheep so he could earn money.

    He only had one pair of shoes and they were worn out 7the long walk to school. He didn't get a8 pair until the old ones were too broken to wear9.

    He didn't have toys to10, but he had quite a good life.  He was just as11 as he could be. He 12thought his life was bad or boring. When my grandfather's talk ends, I always think about everything he told me. I 13 that I am a lucky dog. Today we have so many new clothes to wear, so much nice food to eat and so many 14 things to do. We have 15 to worry about and have fun with our family. The only thing we need to do is to treasure everything we own.

    In the early 1990s, the word "Internet" was strange to most people. But today, Internet has become a useful tool for people all over the world. Maybe Internet has been the greatest invention in the field of communication in the history of mankind(人类).

    Communicating with others on the Internet is much faster. We can chat with a person who is sitting in the other part of the world. We can e-mail our friends and they can read the e-mails within a minute.

    Giving all kinds of information is probably the biggest advantage of the Internet. We can use search engines to find the information we need. Just type in a keyword or keywords and the search engine will give us a list of suitable websites to look at.

    We can enjoy a lot on the Internet by downloading games, visiting chat rooms or surfing(浏览) websites. There are some games for fr6e. We can meet new and interesting people in the chat now. We can also listen to music and see films.

    Now, there is a lot of service on the Internet such as online banking, job finding and ticket buying. We can also do shopping and find nearly all kinds of goods. Sometimes we can find something that is quite good but very cheap.

    A young man was on a train. As the train turned a corner, it slowed down and then plain house came into sight. The house looked so different the grey apartment buildings of the city that everybody on the train turned to look at it. Some passengers began to talk about . The young man was also interested in the house. He decided to get off at the next station and make his way to the house.

    The owner of the house told him that he (try) to sell the house, but no one would buy it, as the noise of the trains passing nearby made it (suit) to live in. The young man decided to buy the house for $ 30,000. He used it for advertising  The house faced the railway bend(弯道). The train had to slow down at the bend,  (give) the passengers plenty of time to look at the house.

    The young man went to several big companies and explained the advantages of placing advertisements on the side of the house. (luck), one company agreed to place some ads. The young man (pay) $180,000 for three years of advertising.

    In this world, turning disadvantages into advantages is the key to (succeed).
