The bags were very big and heavy, and the donkey soon became tired. The donkey turned to
the horse and said, “Could you take off one of my bags and carry it for me, please? They’re really
heavy, and you are so much stronger than me.” The horse answered, “No, I serve the farmer not
you. He gave me one half to carry and you the other half. You must do your job, __49.__.”
The farmer, donkey, and horse walked for a long time in the hot sun. Finally, the donkey was
so tired that he dropped to the ground. The farmer tried to pull him to his feet, __50.__. In the
end, the farmer had no choice but to take the donkey’s five bags of rice and put them on the horse.
At that moment, the horse realized he __51.__ a big mistake. He cried, “If only I had agreed to help

1. Blood is the river of life that flows through our bodies. With every beat of the heart, blood sends
oxygen to every cell in the body. For centuries, doctors wondered if it is possible to take someone’s
blood and put it into a patient. In 1818, Dr. James Blundell’s study found how to make that possible.
His findings allowed doctors to save many people’s lives. As long as the right blood type is used, it is
safe. O-type blood can be given to anyone in need. However, for the other blood types—A, B, or AB,
doctors should be very careful when using them. A mistake with blood types could make people die.

2. Brad:Oh, no. There is a traffic jam.
Ginny:Why?
Brad:I think there must be potholes on this road because of the bad weather.
Look! Many workers are repairing it.
Ginny:No wonder. Is there any other way to the movie theater? I’m afraid
we’ll be late for the movie.
Brad:The movie starts at 8 p.m. We still have an hour. Besides, there are
many one-way streets, and we might spend more time finding the way and
driving there.
Ginny:OK. Let’s play some music. We’re going to be stuck here for some time.
Brad:All right. What kind of music do you want to listen to?
Ginny:How about Lady Gaga’s Is That AlRight? It is the theme song of “A Star
Is Born.” You can find it on YouTube.
Brad:Let me see…. Got it.
Ginny:I can’t wait to watch the movie. The story is so beautiful that some
people have even watched it several times.
Brad:Hey! There is a parking space. We can leave the car there and take the
subway.
Ginny:Why not?
