He was a teacher who worked at a university. 26 the age of 90, he still worked eight hours a day. His secretary (秘书) said, “He is old, but he forces (强迫) himself to walk ten miles from his house to the office every day. Although it takes him an hour, he 27 doing it because it gives him a feeling of success.”
A few days ago, some of his students walked out of the office in a bad mood (情绪). Then, they talked about him 28 , “He just answers 'yes' or 'no' to our questions and he always gives us so many books. Besides, he always tells us to find the answers by ourselves! He is so 29 that he never tells jokes during class.”
Later, he knew what his students talked about. He just smiled and replied, “This is the way I learned.
I will always 30 my students to read when they ask me for help.” He also said, “We teachers should let students 31 try their best to solve problems by reading because it's the easiest way for them to learn something new.”

Colors are very important in our life. We can see different colors in different places. Sometimes colors are called warm, cold or neutral(中性的)colors. Red and yellow are warm colors because they make us feel warmer. They also make the walls seem nearer to us than they really are. Blue and black are cold colors. They can give us different feelings. We feel cooler and the walls seem to be farther away. Neutral colors don't affect(影响) our feelings. Brown and gray are both neutral, but they may also affect our feelings when we put them into warm or cold colors.
It's important to choose the colors we want. Red may be very good for a restaurant, but it could be wrong for an art gallery, because people want to see the pictures, not the walls behind. White can make a small room look bigger. If your room is very small, you can paint the walls white.
Sometimes the same color expresses(表达) different feelings. For example, people wear white clothes when their relatives(亲戚) die in the countryside in China. But in many places the couple wear white clothes on the wedding days.

When people go to the movies today, they can watch and listen to a story. But when the movie first appeared many years ago, there was no sound or music. Those silent (无声的) movies play an important role in the movie history.
When movie theaters showed silent movies, musicians were often there to play music along with the movie. Sometimes, musicians also made some special sounds. However, there was no sound in the movie itself. People learned the story through the actors, the musicians and words on the screen.
When movies first had sound, not everyone liked it. Many silent movie actors thought it was not easy to perform in the new kind of movie. Clara Bow was a famous silent-movie actress in the early 1920s. She was so nervous (紧张的) about her voice (声音) that she couldn't become a star in the world of talking pictures.
