One day, a teacher and a student were lying under a tree near a grass area. The student asked the teacher, "Could you please tell me 31 to find out a soulmate (知己)?" The teacher thought for a while and then answered, "Well, it's a hard and easy question. Look that way, there is a lot of 32 there. Just walk 33 and please don't turn back. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass, pick it up and then give it to me. But only one."
A few minutes later, the student came back with 34 in his hand. He said to the teacher, "On my 35, I found some beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, 36 I didn't pick it up. But I didn't know I was already at the 37 of the grass field, and I hadn't picked up any because you told me not to turn back."
"That's what happened in 38 life," the teacher said.

(A)
Last Sunday, I saw the worst storm (暴雨) in years. It came suddenly and went on for three hours. After lunch, I went into my room and had a rest. The air was hot.
Then strong wind started blowing into my room. Papers on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.
When I came back into my house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried hard and managed to close the window. Then I heard a loud sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what had happened: a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the back room.
