It was a city in Hubei Province. On International Children's Day, some orphans(孤儿) from the Wuhan Welfare Institute for Children {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) to the park. An elderly westerner was with them. The children love the man very much and call {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Grandpa without doubt. This man was Professor William Dorrity, from Florida, the USA. In 2003, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Professor William Dorrity and his wife retired, they came to Wuhan and started to work as volunteers at the Welfare Institute.

    The Dorritys have been working hard {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(improve) the conditions at the Welfare Institute since they came. They often take children on day-trips, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(bring) them all kinds of food for the kids to enjoy. They recently bought audiphones(助听器) for four orphans {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hearing problems. They also bought {#blank#}7{#/blank#} wheelchair(轮椅) for ten-year-old Tan Jun, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} suffers from a brain problem. The Dorritys said “we love China and we love children, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we are happy to do this.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(Hope), there will be more people to give their love to those children.”

    Sometimes our emotions can seem to defeat us. When this happens, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is possible to give people the wrong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(impress) or do something we regret. Learning to express your emotions effectively will allow you to communicate clearly and carefully, without hurting those around you or{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) the situation worse. So it's important to learn to express emotions.

    Firstly, you need to learn how to express your angry feelings. Anger can cause you to say things you regret, so sometimes you should control your angry feelings. If you're afraid of saying something that hurts someone, then try to think{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(care) before you speak. Also, you can write down your angry thoughts as if you were shouting it out to the world. This allows you{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(express) your anger.

    Secondly, it's necessary to learn to express sadness. Sadness is particularly hard to deal{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, especially when people can see you are sad. But you needn't hide it. Instead, try talking about {#blank#}7{#/blank#}is making you sad. It doesn't matter if you cry, as it has proved that crying can reduce stress. What's more, if you feel your secrets are safe in your dairy, then write down what{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(upset) you.

    Learning to express worry is also important. If you're worried about a friend or a loved one, talk to them about your worry. This could give you some peace of mind. Also, you can choose an activity {#blank#}9{#/blank#}you are interested in and spend some time doing it. The less you think about the problem, the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you will worry.

    Keep Your Eyes Open for Weight Loss Ads

    “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

    “Two full inches in the first three days!”

    These are the kinds of statements {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (promise) new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they {#blank#}3{#/blank#} shape the legs, slim the face and smooth wrinkles. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

    To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food and Drug Administration) can require proof that it is safe and effective before it {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(put) on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (require) premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure(查封) of the product.

    One notable case a few years ago {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(involve) an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was dangerous to health and life.

    I won't call myself the most accomplished person when it comes to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) chopsticks. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my technique looks clumsy at times. I tend to hold {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (I) in the middle, more like beginner than expert.

    Still, since I eat almost every meal with the eating utensil (器皿) of choice in China, it's not uncommon for a new friend or acquaintance to come to a simple {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (conclude) after observing me that my Chinese husband, Jun, must have shown me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to use them before.

    They are wrong. I've used chopsticks ever since I was a teenager, a time when my sister and mother were both fond of Chinese cuisine and introduced me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many new dishes, along with the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (prefer) utensils in China. We always kept bamboo chopsticks along with our {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (knife), forks and spoons, ready for whenever we happened to have Chinese food for dinner. It was my closest family {#blank#}8{#/blank#} observed my first mistakes I made in using chopsticks.

    Plus, I lived over two years in China before Jun and I started dating and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (expect) to use chopsticks in almost every restaurant, stand and bar. Trust me, when you're hungry you figure out pretty fast what it takes to down (咽下) {#blank#}10{#/blank#} meal with these utensils.
