I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) together with my grandparents since I was born. It was they who took care of me when I was young. Now I am {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（get) more and more {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (patient) with them. I didn't bother to repeat my words {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they didn't understand; sometimes I even snapped at(严厉说） them when they kept {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (complain).

    A few days ago, I read an article. It says “Aging is like a disease {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is inevitable(不可避免的）for everyone, though nobody wants it. Be patient with the old, because one day you will become one of them.” I become very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (guilt) when I read those words. Indeed, I wouldn't like to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (treat) in a bad way when I was old. What I need, as well as many {#blank#}9{#/blank#} young people, is to be a bit more patient to them. From now on, when I am with them, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (try) to recall what they have given me and show more patience with them.

    When I was a university student, I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(attract) by the Chinese. So I got a job as a teacher in Wuhan three years ago.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) back, I realize it was the students I. met in the first year and Chinese university life in general{#blank#}3{#/blank#}gave me the deepest impression.

    During my school days, I would rarely give up my spare time to any activity {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(connect) with study. Unless exams were approaching, my weekends were devoted to having fun or perhaps a part-time job. My Chinese students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the other hand, seemed to spend their entire waking hours studying. I understand that competition in Chinese universities is extremely fierce. Nonetheless, their energy and motivation put{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(I) to shame.

    My first year in China was also my first year as a teacher. It was both challenging{#blank#}7{#/blank#}rewarding. One thing I know for certain is that my year in Wuhan changed me for the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(good). Thanks to the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(polite) and warmth of Chinese students, I overcame my fear of speaking in public and became more self-confident. Most{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(important), I met dozens of nice people and made many excellent friends.

    If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识别)those of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(great) and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so you'll feel a real sense of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(achieve). Leaving the less important things until tomorrow {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) often acceptable.

    Most of us are more focused {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive {#blank#}5{#/blank#} possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.

    Recent {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} while, exercising, or dong something you enjoy.

    If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you'll be less likely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bring) your work home. It could be anything-gardening, cooking, music, sports—but whatever it is, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(make) sure it's a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

    Digging through kids' school bags, looking up all the assignments, sitting beside them going through each item, and finally {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(have) all the homework checked with a name signed is a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(day)routine for most Chinese parents, as required by teachers. A demanding task especially after a long day's work at office, isn't it?{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（lucky）, some parents in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, have been liberated. A local primary school has recently announced that parents will no longer have to sign their names on their kids' homework, as students should be responsible{#blank#}4{#/blank#}their own assignments.

    Making mistakes is{#blank#}5{#/blank#}essential part of the process of understanding. Who cares how much you{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(score) in your homework after you have settled down in life and found your directions? The ability to realize one's mistakes and learn from them is what matters,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}is also the main purpose of education. Why not give students a chance{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(find) out and correct their mistakes themselves?

    It is by no{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（mean）parents' duty to go through the kids' assignments.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}parents are supposed to do is to create a friendly studying environment for kids, and teach them to be an independent learner. After all, independent learning is much more important than high scores.

    Modern-day robots are programmed to handle tasks that are normally carried out by humans. They are faster and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(accurate) than human workers and never ask for a pay rise or take breaks!

    Robots are also able to work{#blank#}2{#/blank#}dangerous situations.

    Researchers at the University of Arkansas in the United States say that the mobile robots which have been created already are ideal for the job of hospital attendants. These mobile robots store a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(detail) map of the hospital in their memory. The robots' sensors can detect{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(object) and quickly get out of the way. Although these robots cannot go up and down know how{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(press) a button of an elevator.

    Researchers at a Massachusetts' university are creating the first robot {#blank#}6{#/blank#}can constantly change its shape according to the task it has to do. These are called polymorphic robots. "Polymorphic" means{#blank#}7{#/blank#}ability to take different forms. A 3D printer{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(place) inside the robot to create the desired shape. The entire process of changing forms in this manner is called the rapid printing technology which is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fair) common in the car industry to produce complex 3D structures quickly. Once the robot has performed{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(it) task, it can be melted down and recycled into another useful part by the 3D printer.
