Night after night, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead. I don't remember {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it first started annoying me —her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her, “Don't do that any more— your hands are too rough!” she didn't say anything in reply. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of love. Now, my own children are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(grow) and gone. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(gentle) touched my brow. In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, “Don't do that any more — your hands are too rough!” {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(catch) Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember as I did. But mom didn't know what I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (talk) about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago. That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands.

—Yes. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(visit) it twice when I was in Harbin.

     You will meet many people in school, in college and at work. They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses or {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pretty) clothes. To them, life is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (compete) — the have to do better than their peers to be happy.

    Here's a secret: life isn't a match. It's a journey. If you spend it always {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (try) to impress others, you're wasting your life. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) it a journey of happiness of continual improvement, and one filled {#blank#}5{#/blank#} love.

     Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} better-paying job. None of them matters, and none of them will make you happier. You'll obtain these {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(thing) and then only want more. Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough and then use the time {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  would have been wasted to earn money to buy those things.

    Find your passion, and go after it{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (constant). Don't work for only paying the bills. Life is too short {#blank#}10{#/blank#}   (waste) on a job you hate.

One day, Mary was working in her office in London {#blank#}1{#/blank#}she received an email from her friend Joan. In Joan's email, she persuaded Mary {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(look) for a flat in London for her. As she had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (little) money than before, the flat had to be cheap, but it had to be modern, with elevators and gas lines. Though Mary found {#blank#}4{#/blank#} difficult to find such a flat, she still went from one block to another, looking for a flat {#blank#}5{#/blank#} would meet Joan's requirements(要求). Having tried too many times, Mary came up {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her boss and asked him for advice {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (polite). It was the first time that she {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (talk) with her boss about her personal problems. It happened that the boss just had such a flat for rent, so they quickly reached {#blank#}9{#/blank#} agreement. But to her surprise, when she emailed Joan, telling her the good news, Joan said that she had changed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} mind— she was not going to London.

    China{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(witness) rapid growth in dealing with cases between citizens and government departments over the past five years. But{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) officials to court (法庭)would have been unheard of 30 years ago.

    “The question of whether to allow citizens to sue (起诉)government departments caused heated debates back then,” said Yang Jingyu, 82, a retired lawmaker {#blank#}3{#/blank#}at the time was a member of the Standing Committee of the National Peopled Congress.

    He looked back {#blank#}4{#/blank#} discussions about the Maritime Traffic Safety Law, which {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(regard) as a basis of China's legal system. But it started a debate on whether governments could be sued, because some officials thought what they do is in the name of the country.

    However Peng Zhen, who {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (devote) to making the laws, argued that it would be unfair{#blank#}7{#/blank#} we did not allow citizens to appeal (上诉)in court. For example, sailors, especially{#blank#}8{#/blank#} who had worked many years to become captains, would be jobless or fall into trouble if they were {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wrong) punished.

    Now, according to the laws, courts must accept cases without {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hesitate) if litigants (当事人)provide enough material.

    According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live three years {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(long) than non-runners. You don't have to run fast or for long{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (die) early by running. While running regularly can't make you live forever, the review says it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) more effective at lengthening life{#blank#}5{#/blank#} walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014{#blank#}6{#/blank#}showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cause).

    The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise… it's probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(strength)your leg muscles(肌肉),avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it's always{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(energy).If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a try.
