Sometimes we have disagreements with people. When this h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the important thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated argument. Here {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my tips for you.

    The f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} thing I would say is that the way you begin the conversation is very important.

    Imagine you are a student and you share a flat {#blank#}4{#/blank#}another student who you think isn't doing her share of the housework. If you say, "Look, you never do your share of the housework.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}are you going to do about it?", the discussion will very soon turn into an argument. It's much more{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (有帮助)to say something like, "I think we had b {#blank#}7{#/blank#} have another look about how we divide up the housework. Maybe there is a better way of dealing with it. "

    My second piece of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a  is simple. If you're the person who is in the wrong, just admit it! This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. Just make an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(道歉)， and move on. The other person will have more respect for you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the future if you do that.

    Some theme parks are not only amusing but also educational. Take the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) in Hawaii for example. It not only shows visitors the Polynesian way of life but also protects their skills{#blank#}1{#/blank#}culture for the future. Polynesian is the name{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(give) to the many groups of small islands that are spread about the Pacific Ocean.

    The PCC{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(set) in 42 acres of beautiful countryside{#blank#}4{#/blank#}visitors can see seven different traditional Polynesian island villages. Villagers from many island communities come{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(show) visitors their styles of dress and different customs. For example, you can see{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(difference) skills of the villagers. You can learn{#blank#}7{#/blank#}they make clothes from bark(树皮) and how they climb very tall trees {#blank#}8{#/blank#}their bare feet or see{#blank#}9{#/blank#}kind of wedding ceremonies they have. They also tell you about their{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(society) customs and show you their cooking methods and their dances.

    A lot of films have tried to describe our memories of family members who have passed away. But few have done as{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(remark) as Coco, Disney-Pixar's latest animation, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} hit the big screen on Nov. 24 and won the Oscar in 2018.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(inspire) by the Mexican holiday of Day of the Dead, the film's production team created a young boy, Miguel, who wants his family to understand his love of music. An accident takes him to the Land of the Dead. While there, Miguel has{#blank#}4{#/blank#}unforgettable and adventurous night.

    It's in this magical world{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Miguel gets to meet and discover the truth about his great-great-grandpa. To protect him from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (disappear), Miguel has to bring his photo back to the living world as soon as possible.

    While told with a wild imagination, the story {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(convey) a clear and warm message. "In an era when young people are so easily attracted by {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(celebrity), Coco reveals the emptiness of such adulation (谄媚), teaching kids {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(preserve) and respect the memory of their elders while reminding them that the source of true creativity is so often {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(person)," wrote reporter Peter Debruge on Variety.

    What makes the sea tum red and causes thousands of fish to die？As far back as anyone could remember, the blame was placed on the "red tides." In 1947, scientists finally connected the red tides with a microscopic sea organism(有机体){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call)the dinoflagellate.

    The dinoflagellate is so tiny {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 6, 000 of these organisms may be contained in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} single drop of water. It stands on the borderline between plant and animal in its classification, it produces its own food, as plants do. But it moves {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(free)and eats other organisms, as animals do.

    Dinoflagellates are normally only one of the many kinds of organisms found in plankton. Plankton is the name given to all very small {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(form)of sea life. However, when the air and water {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be)calm and warm, dinoflagellates multiply with {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(amaze)sped. The surface of the water appears {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cover)with a red carpet.

    The dinoflagellates give off a poison. Many fish die. Their bodies are washed up on the beach. Beaches are not fit {#blank#}9{#/blank#} any use. Fish that are not killed may become {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(poison)to animals or people who eat them. Commercial fishing comes to a stop.

    As dinoflagellates consume all the food and oxygen in an area, they die. After a time, the sea returns to normal. But when conditions are right, the red tide comes again.

    I'm not sure when I started to love qipaos. I just remember that when I saw Zhao Weiand other stars {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wear) qipaos in the TV series Romance in the Rain, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(impress). Although Chinese women are fond of wearing qipaos for special events, for example, red ones for weddings, I wear them more {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(frequent), not only for parties but also sometimes even in the office.

    I've collected some qipaos, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(buy) at a store in one of Beijing's historical neighborhoods. A Chinese friend of mine recently gave me one of her old qipaos, which almost reaches my ankles. The qipao fits well at the shoulders, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}it was simply too tight（紧的）at the waist.

    Many foreigners'{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(body) differ from those of the Chinese, which makes{#blank#}7{#/blank#} hard for some foreigners to take off qipaos. Because I am not too short, and pretty thin, I can often buy ready-made qipaos in China.

    In my native United States, non-Asians {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos because of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(culture)differences, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open-minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen {#blank#}10{#/blank#} an attitude of appreciation for Chinese culture.
