— Well, they have set out to deal with the present situation ________ they think deserves their immediate attention.

    I was a British general for eighteen years, and I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(serve) in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sierra Leone, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I never really enjoyed it. I just enjoyed the respect that it gave me. The whole time I was just pretending to be a soldier.

    The problem is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I was good at it, and it's {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(extreme) difficult to walk away from something that you're good at. I guess that was one reason {#blank#}5{#/blank#}I stayed for so long. And ironically (讽刺的是),{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (like) what you think, the military life is actually quite secure. Every one of your needs {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) care of finances, medical, housing. I was used to the military life. Even though I always had a dream of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (become) a great actor, I was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(terrify) to start the life I really wanted. Anyway, I finally did it. I spent the last two years in {#blank#}10{#/blank#}acting school in California. And you know what? I'm doing quite well. I think I've got the talent. I'm going to be a movie star. Wish me luck, mate.

    A few people have lucid (清醒的) dreams, in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the dreamer is aware they're dreaming and can control the experience. Some others can learn {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (have) lucid dreams. The practice can be used to deal with frightening dreams. However, its potential has been limited by it often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) so hard to achieve. Now, researchers have developed the most effective method yet for promoting lucid dreams.

    The researchers let 121 adults aged 19 to 75 pick something {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see)in a previous dream. It was called a "dreamsign" that can serve {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a reminder to become lucid when met again. The {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (volunteer) were then handed capsules. Each person got a high-dose (大剂量的) capsule, a low-dose capsule and a placebo (无效对照剂) capsule, but they couldn't tell which was which. On three occasions, they woke in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} middle of the night, took a capsule, imagined their dreamsign and went back to sleep. The high dose was most effective, causing lucid dreams in 42 per cent of participants. About 27 per cent {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (report) lucid dreams with the low dose and 14 per cent after taking the placebo capsule.

    The potential applications are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite). "This new method has the success rate we need to be able to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (proper) do research on lucid dreaming," says Denholm Aspy at the University of Adelaide in Australia.

    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.

    Good morning, everyone. This is Chris at the school radio station.

    As we all know, psychological health is as important as physical health. However, it's quite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (worry) that many of us are suffering from poor psychological health. We've interviewed some psychology teachers at our school, and they've given us some advice on how {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (improve) psychological health.

    Firstly, you can share your concerns with people you trust, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} support and care may help you get {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the difficulties. Besides, learn to view trouble {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wise) as everyone meets with difficulties now and then. Remind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (you) that only those who are confident and determined can go far and be more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (prepare). Lastly, when {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (feel) sad for a long time, you'd better go to the mental guide room without {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hesitate), where practical advice will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (offer) to help ease your pressure.

    The world is just what you think it is. Learn to control your own world!

    Thank you for listening.

    Living a life with meaning and purpose is the key to improving your psychological well-being. Your purpose doesn't{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(necessary), have to involve changing the world or finding a career {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(devote) to helping others. Instead, you might make it your purpose to be kind every day.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you feel like your life lacks purpose, don't worry. There are many ways you can find purpose in life and build a life that has more meanings. You can begin by thinking about the legacy(遗赠) you would like to leave behind. Write down how you'd like to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remember) at the end: of your life, or think about the impact you want to leave {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the planet. Then, establish some{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(objective)that can help you reach those goals. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) toward your goals will give you a reason, to get out of bed every day, beyond earning money.

    Thinking positively{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(improve) your psychological well-being. In turn, as your psychological well-being improves,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} becomes easier to think positively and feel good overall. Spend time thinking about some of the best memories - of your life. Whether it's a family vacation you went on 10 years ago or you won an award at work two years ago, recalling the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy) times in your life can bring more positivity to your thinking.
