    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lucky), the man survived , but the incident forced the driver{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(stop)the train. An 18-minute delay followed the incident,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

Some people blame the Smartphone for the sad story, yet in fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

    Ten-year-old Traci Weinstein from New York has a lot of shoes! Her interest in shoes started when she learned that every day, all around the world, many children cannot attend school and many people are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (able) to work because they don't have shoes. Traci {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (inspire) by her grandfather to help the poor in Guatemala {#blank#}3{#/blank#} might not have shoes. So she began to collect shoes!

    To help the people, Traci worked with the non-profit {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (organize), Sole4Souls. Sole4Souls' goal is to collect shoes to help “get rid of poverty(贫困)”. They have provided millions of shoes {#blank#}5{#/blank#} people in need in over 100 countries!

    Traci set {#blank#}6{#/blank#} huge goal. She wanted to collect 25,000 shoes to benefit poor people in her birth country of Guatemala. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (amazing), in just a few months, Traci not only hit her goal {#blank#}8{#/blank#} collected over 30,000 pairs of shoes! She is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite)to be making a difference in the world. Traci and her family hope {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (visit) Guatemala and give out shoes to those in person.

    Spring is coming. Everything is waking from its winter sleep. The fields {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(dress) in a fresh robe of green. The wild flowers begin to peep forth(隐隐露出). Birds sing among the trees, and begin to get their nests ready {#blank#}2{#/blank#} summer. Men are now sowing seeds in the fields. The days are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(warm), for brighter sunshine has come again. Everything is full of life and joy.

    On May 9, James Givens was sitting in the car when he{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hear) what sounded like a knock. He turned around only{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(find) a goose pecking (啄) at the car door. This was highly unusual given that the birds normally preferred to observe humans from a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(distant).

But on this day, the goose appeared to be determined to get his attention and didn't stop pecking{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Givens opened the car door and stepped out .Though the bird then began to walk away,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}kept turning around to make sure he was following. When they finally stopped, Givens realized{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the mother goose did so— she needed help to free her baby goose that had got{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(trap) in some balloon string.

    Worried that the mother goose would attack him if he got close{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the baby, Givens called the local SPCA chapter. Unfortunately, they were{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(able) to help right away. Concerned that the baby goose would not survive the delay, Givens decided to take on the task himself.

    The mother goose watched{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(patient) as Givens saved the little bird. As soon as the little goose was free, it ran to its mom. Givens said this was the most unforgettable incident in his life!

    Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(recent).

    In their paper, researchers in the United States and Japan{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce) their experiment and conclusion.

    Scientists invited 36 volunteers{#blank#}3{#/blank#}were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(show) pictures like broccoli(西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task really was quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(challenge),” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study. “ We used very similar items to see if they would remember {#blank#}6{#/blank#}it was this exact picnic basket versus that picnic basket.”

    Researchers also scanned brains of some of the participants during the experiment.

    They found increased communication between parts{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(involve) in the storage and recollection of memories in brains of those who had exercised.

This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise might have a positive effect {#blank#}8{#/blank#}memory power.

    As all{#blank#}9{#/blank#}volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(look) at the influence of light exercise on older people. “Our main goal is to try to develop an exercise way that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities,” said Yassa.
