16．There are lots of success people all over the world．Different people have different opinion about their（1）      ．Once a successful businessman was invited to a TV interview．Everybody couldn't wait（2）      the secret of his great achievements． （3）      ，he only said with a smile，"Won't it be better for your ideas on a certain problem？"
All the people were listening to him（4）      ．Here was his problem．He said， "people all（5）      to the place where a gold mine had（6）      been discovered．But when they got there，they found they were（7）      by a river in front of it．They had to cross the river if they wanted to get to the gold mine．What would you do if you were among them．"
"Make another way，"someone suggested， "Swim（8）      the river"said another．The businessman smiled without saying a word．Finally he gave his idea．"Why not do something（9）      instead of rushing to the mine？How about（10）      a boat the ferry（渡船）service？"The listeners were all（11）      at his idea．He then explained calmly．The man who bought the boat could（12）      a lot of money by taking the passengers to（13）      bank of the river．They would like to pay for the ferry（14）      there was gold across from the bank．
Do what the others haven't thought of or do something that others have never tired before﹣that is the key（15）      success．

18．Have you ever seen rows of different cars parked on a big playground，with their boots（汽车后备箱） open？The boots are packed with things like books，pictures，kid's toys．This is a car boot sale．It is popular in the UK．
If you have lots of things and have nowhere to put them，and don't want to throw them away，why not try a car boot sale？Go to a car boot sale and you may be excited about what you find．
You can find almost anything at a car boot sale，from beds，tables to necklaces and ring…．
Most of the things are second﹣hand，so they are usually low﹣priced．I like to hunt for books．I was petty proud when I bought four books from the Harry Potter．Series and they cost me just over ¥2．
Here is a little tip that not everybody knows；When it's nearly the end of the sale（they usually finish in the early afternoon），many sellers cut the prices because they want to throw away things．Quite often you'll find "all for 10 p"， "Buy one and get one free" and "Take it away!"It's clear that they just want to throw those things away．
However，there may not be much good stuff（物品）left in the end﹣the things people really want are sole quickly．So，as they say，the early bird catches the worm!

19．A computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist．
If aliens are discovered one day， scientists fear their language may make it possible to understand them． But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure（结构）of their language． He thinks that's the first step in understanding what they are saying．
Dr．Elliott's program would compare an alien language to a database（数据库）of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure． He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure．Language has to be structure in a certain way， or it will be harder to use，he told New Scientist magazine．
Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal（信号）carries a language rather than a picture or music． Dr．Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences． Because languages have different word orders， Dr．Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages．
If a message is received from outer space， it could be compared against this database． Scientist would then be able to see if it's similar to any human language， or a mix of the language．
However， Dr．Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying， it may still be necessary to have a code book．
