You must know the “ding dong ditch”. Person A rings Person B’s doorbell, and then quickly runs away or hides before Person B answers. Person B hurries to answer the door, only to find that no one’s there. After the 1 thing is repeated several times, this is called “ding dong ditch”.
Sharon Mardis, a single mother of four, told ABC News that she 2 a “ding dong ditch” when she 3 to her door at 1:00 am last night.
“My doorbell started ringing, 4 I came to the door,” Sharon told ABC News. “There was 5 at the door. I went back in the house. I got ten or twenty 6 and the doorbell started ringing again. I came back to the door, still nobody at the door.” She got 7 and stepped outside, shouting, “Who’s that? What on earth are you going to do?” There was just 8 .
But after Sharon returned to the house, she 9 something. Smoke! Sharon quickly 10 her kids and the family pets and ran out of the house. Only then did she 11 how bad the fire was. The 12 of the house fell down; the house was quickly 13 by flames. The smoke detectors(探测器) had never 14 : they were out of batteries. Good thing for the doorbell.
The 15 is who had rung it. 16 found that the flames has fused(熔化) the wires of the doorbell together, causing it to ring. But 17 , the fire had nothing to do with the doorbell wiring at all. It had started in the bathroom, well down the hall. From there, the flames didn’t spread to the nearby 18 , where the children and Sharon were sleeping. 19 , they surprisingly reached the doorbell first, making it ring repeatedly, and 20 Sharon to avoid danger.
Sharon believes it happened that way thanks to an angel.

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never 21more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 22for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 23_ -table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the best for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 24 at each other—what was he up to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a mixture of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 25was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just another mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 26 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe(食谱) for this,”asked Marina,“or did you 27 it up?”Ben put his fork down.“What I cooked depended on what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s 28 choice in what you can find outside supermarkets,”he replied.
Seeing that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually throw away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of __29, boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had successfully provided a decent(体面的) meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 30 millions of people.

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts say the ___1___ is to make jobs more varied(多样的).

Perhaps if we ___20___ making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
