The    2 was that the landlord would squeeze（压榨）a lemon until all the    3 ran out into a beer glass, then hand the lemon to the customer. Anyone who could squeeze even one more   __ 4 out of the lemon would win the money.
Over the years many people had tried this, truck drivers, weightlifters, karate masters, and    __ 5 had failed. Then one day a geeky little fellow with heavy black rimmed glasses    6 the bar and asked if he could try the challenge.
After the laughter had quieted down the landlord said that it was only fair that the man should be given a    7 at the bet, so he picked up a lemon and started squeezing. Once he had done, he handed the    8 to the little man. Immediately, the little man promptly squeezed out 4 more drops of juice onto the bar!
Everyone looked at the little man in    9 as the landlord handed over the prize and asked
"What do you do for a living that has given you such   10 ? Are you a lumberjack, weightlifter?"
"No." the man replied, "I work for the IRS.( 美国国税局)"

A land free from destruction（毁灭，破坏）, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply —— all these were important 1       in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 2        they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process.

The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution 5      from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 6        inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research 7        .He is not necessarily working 8       that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is all trying to make something that has a concrete use. He may try to solve a problem by 9        the theories 10        science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a   11       result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb（灯泡）, or one of 12       other objectives. Most of the people who 13        the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36   had such a big influence   37   a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39 to express my own 40    on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41   experiences. There are still many things   42   me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43   yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44   . There are so many things around us that    45    our will. We can’t force life    46    our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47   it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48   the world. I think we should learn to accept   49   life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50   every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51   that they slip by and leave you feeling   52   . I realize that I’m not just living   53   myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54   .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55   that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.
