Disneynature's new true life adventure film “Born in China” takes a journey into the wilds of China {#blank#}1{#/blank#} few people have ever gone. Following the stories of three animal families, the film transports audiences to some of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  most extreme environments on Earth to witness some deeply moving {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (moment). A caring panda mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (independent) actively. A two-year-old golden monkey who feels unhappy with his new baby sister {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (run) away from home to join up with a group of free-spirited monkeys. And a mother snow leopard (雪豹)—an animal {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (rare) caught on camera—faces the real challenge of raising her two babies. Featuring {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (astonish), never-before-seen images, the film guides audiences through China—from the icy mountains {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  the heart of the bamboo forest—on the wings of red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤), smoothly tying the extraordinary tales together.

    “Born in China”,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (direct) by accomplished Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, is a co-production of Disneynature and Shanghai Media Group. Disneynature is partnering with World Wildlife Fund and donating a percentage of ticket sales {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (help) protect pandas and snow leopards in China.

    Many English language learners believe that the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (great) difficulty with listening comprehension (理解) is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that what the speaker says disappears {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they can follow. This frequently means that students {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are learning to listen cannot keep up. They are so busy working out the meaning{#blank#}4{#/blank#} one part of what they hear that they miss the next part. Or they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(simple) ignore a whole section because they fail to catch it quickly enough. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said. And, of course, repeats cannot{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (ask) for when listening to the radio or watching TV.

    Besides,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (choose) of vocabulary is in the hands of the speaker, not the listener. Very often, for people listening to a foreign language, an unknown word can be like a suddenly {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (drop) stone making them stop and think about the meaning of the word,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) them to miss the next part of the speech. In listening, it really is a case of “He who{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (stop) to work out the meaning is lost.”

    Recently researchers have found that singing in groups could have a positive impact on reducing anxiety and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (depress). The research is from the University of East Anglia in the UK, in cooperation with a community singing group {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) Sing Your Heart Out. A research team conducted the study {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(examine) how singing with other people affects mental health. Researchers followed a group of people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} attended free {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(week) singing workshops for six months. They discovered that singing in groups was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} essential part in helping people recover from mental illness. In addition, it helped people feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(little) stressed, enhanced their mood and increased their confidence, social skills and feeling of well-being.

    Lead researcher, professor Tom Shakespeare, said: "We found that singing as part of a group contributes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people's recovery from mental health problems." He added that: "All of the participants we spoke to reported positive {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (effect) as a direct result of taking part in the singing workshops. For some, it represented one component of a wider programme of support. For others, it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(stand) out as key to their maintenance of health."

    Do you live in a city? You've probably noticed how noisy and crowded life in a city can be. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} if you could live next to a calm lake instead?

    As it turns out, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) near bodies of water – lakes, rivers, ponds, even oceans – can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometer from the coast are around 22 percent less likely {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) mental health problems than those who live 50 kilometers or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (good) general and mental health as well.

    So how does "blue space" make us feel better? For one thing, aquatic environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} linked to better mental and physical health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not.

    There's also the air above {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} sea air is charged with negative ions (负离子). These ions balance our levels of serotonin (血清素), a chemical that affects our moods. With {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (balance) serotonin levels, we feel more calm and relaxed, according to Daily Mail.

    Finally, people who live near water tend to be more {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (physical) active, according to the Guardian. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay {#blank#}10{#/blank#} shape, which in turn keeps us healthy.
