A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g. It doesn't matter on the absolute {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (weigh). It depends on how long you hold {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It's the exact same weight, but the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the time, sooner or later, we won't be able to carry on, the burden {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (become) increasingly heavier. What you've to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (refresh) and are able to carry on.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're having now on your shoulders, let it down {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a moment if you can. Life is short, enjoy it!

    Over time, many flowering plants and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (they) animal pollinators(传粉昆虫) have evolved together. The plant needs the animal to pollinate it and the animal {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reward) with food called nectar when it visits the flowers. Pollen becomes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (attach) to the animal during its visit to a flower{#blank#}4{#/blank#} is then passed on to another plant's blossom on its next visit. So pollination takes place, therefore {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (increase) the chances of the survival of the plant species.

    The type of pollinator {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (depend) on the characteristics of the flower such {#blank#}7{#/blank#} its colour, shape, size and smell. For example, yellow flowers attract bees, while red flowers attract {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  (butterfly). The nectar in some flowers can only be reached by a bird {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a long bill or a long-tongued moth or butterfly. Flowers that attract bees often have a special way {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (guide) the bees to the nectar inside.

Compared with the traditional trade mode, they don't have to spend money {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(rent) a house. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, there are still some disadvantages in online shopping. First, a face-to-face deal makes online shopping less reliable and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe). Second, people will lose {#blank#}7{#/blank#}fun of bargaining（讨价还价）.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}is clear that shopping on the internet has become a popular trend in modern society.

Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(convenient)of online shopping without the concern of being cheated.

    Young people{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bear) in 1995 or later have another name in English——Generation Z.
