Glasgow is situated in southwest Scotland along both banks of the River Clyde and has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}population of over 590,000 people. It is the largest city in Scotland,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} has successful business, finance, tourism, call centre, and an excellent harbour as well.

    Glasgow is an{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(attract) city in Europe. It has world-famous art{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(collect), the best shopping in the United Kingdom outside London, and the most{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (enjoy) nightlife in Scotland. A must-see is the works of Scotland's best-known architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the unique style of whom {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(decorate) attractions such as the Lighthouse, Glasgow School of Art and House for an Art Lover.

    Art and culture are so important in Glasgow life {#blank#}7{#/blank#}galleries and museums are great in number. There's a choice of over 20{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(include) the world's first Museum of Religion and the outstanding McLellan Galleries.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}their credit, the Scots value traditional art and culture in Glasgow and have them well {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(preserve) through long time.

    I had just visited my best friend in hospital with my mum，{#blank#}1{#/blank#}hadn't seen my friend since she'd gone into hospital six months earlier.

    I knew where she was coming from as she was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(grave) ill, but as I'd been visiting her every week I had stopped seeing the obvious; my friend{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lose) most of her body weight and her hair was falling out, it wasn't looking good.

    After the visit I took my mum to the station{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(see) her off on her train; the mood was understandably bleak but I stayed positive as well you do, don't you? I went to get{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (we) some coffee and my mum some food for the journey. I misread the amount of my purchase and didn't have enough money.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}some reason, this was the straw that broke the camel's back; I burst into uncontrollable{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(tear) as a massive queue was gathering behind me. A woman came up to me and offered to pay, putting an arm round my shoulder, no questions{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(ask).

    I could barely say thank you through the confusion and the flood of emotion that was pumping through me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} running off in embarrassment. After composing myself I ran round the station {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(try)to find this kind lady to thank her properly but never did.

    There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界）{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effect) such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As {#blank#}5{#/blank#} result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) full of fat and salt; by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is not good for the health.

    Are people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot? Could noisy streets, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (crowd) with cars and people, make us unhappy? The World Health Organization estimates that 54 percent of the world's population lived in urban areas in 2014. The WHO adds that that amount {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (increase) to 66 percent by 2050.

    People often move to cities for{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) at risk?

    Experts say that natural environments or green spaces do a lot of good for our mental health.

    Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts say, can also help us learn better. And {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience) nature helps people recover from the mental tiredness that {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(come) from day-to-day work.

Mental health experts say some research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they cannot say exactly why. “What are the specific{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (aspect) of the urban environment {#blank#}9{#/blank#}causes some people to develop mental health issues?” asked AndraMechelli, a doctor at Kings College, London.

    Researchers have found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky, and being {#blank#}10{#/blank#}touch with nature are associated with higher levels of mental well-being.

    The computer is widely used in our daily life. The computer is a machine that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(design) to help people do many things. When it first came into {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be), it was just a calculating machine, and later it was built as an analytical machine that could “think” logically and produce an answer {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fast) than any other person. Still later, the computer could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical problems. There were times when its size was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(total) changed. It became smaller and smaller but it got cleverer and clever. In the early 1960s, computers were connected by network and brought into common people's homes {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(deal) with information and help communication {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people around the world. It could share {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(inform) with others and they could talk to each other. The Internet has become {#blank#}8{#/blank#} important part in our life and we can do many things with the help of the Internet. The computer is used to connect people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} aren't close enough to speak to each other. It has been serving the human race since {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(it) birth.

Linqing City is connected to Beijing, over 400 kilometers away, through its tribute(贡品) bricks. Linqing tribute bricks, or Gong Bricks, were transported to the country's capital through the Grand Canal for the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (construct) of historical buildings like the Forbidden City. Local people call the type of brick a legend {#blank#}2{#/blank#} flows from the Grand Canal. This "legend" {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(list) as an example of national cultural heritage on June 14, 2008.

Linqing sits at the confluence (交汇处) of the Weihe River and the Grand Canal, making transportation very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(convenience) .

During the Ming and Qing (1368-1912) dynasties, Linqing was a large important city {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a population of over one million. Linging tribute bricks earned their reputation during the Ming Dynasty, when they were {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(wide) used for imperial buildings. Apart from the transport links, the quality of the brick is one factor to make {#blank#}7{#/blank#}famous.

The "Lianhua" soil in Linging is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}ideal raw material for bricks. The city is located in the plain of the Yellow River. So when the Yellow River floods, there will always be a layer of fine sandy soil {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cover) the local soil. Over time, a layer of sandy soil and a layer of clay will form an overlapping structure, known as "Lianhua". Linging tribute bricks {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(make) of this soil will not be out of shape easily.
