Since the one-baby policy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (carry) out in China, Chinese families have been shrinking from one with over 10 members to the other with only three including parents and one baby. Things are usually out of our expectation. Apart from the benefits {#blank#}2{#/blank#} have been mentioned enough, small families are now beginning to have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} own problems. Because parents are having fewer children, they increasingly feel the need {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (control) the lives of those children. As a result, many children are becoming less {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (depend), determined and ambitious than in the past.   

Parents today discourage their children from doing housework, extracurricular activities and socializing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they fear it will interrupt their education. For example, when I was younger I wanted to learn the guitar {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my parents wouldn't allow me because they believed it would distract me from my studies. They are happy as long as I perform {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wonder) in my exams but don't seem concerned about how I develop {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a person.

To some extent, I understand parents' concerns, but I think they should love their children for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} they are, not what they want them to be. We deserve the chance to chase our own dreams and learn on our own. Even if we fail, we can learn from those failures.

    Everyone has a childhood. And childhood {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (experience) are often very funny. Children often make us laugh. It's true that children brighten up a home. They never turn off the lights.

    I often recall my childhood, the years {#blank#}2{#/blank#} many interesting things happened. When I was a two-year-old child, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my parents were always very busy with their work. My mother worked {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a sales manager in a company {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my father served in the army. So I lived with my grandma in a village. I was always waiting for my parents at home. Once my father sent us a photo of his {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (dress) in a soldier's uniform {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was posted on the table reminding me of him.

    Once my mother came to see me and we went {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shop) together. On the way we saw a group of soldiers. And when I saw them, I became{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite). I said in a ringing voice pointing to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, “This is my father, and this is my father, and that is my father, too!”

    My mother said she would remember that moment all her life.

    It is often said that eyes can speak. In a bus you may look at a stranger,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} not too long. If he notices that he is being stared at, he may feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (comfort). It is the same in daily life. When you are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) at for several more times, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you. If nothing goes wrong, you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (feel) angry with the person who is looking at you. Eyes can speak, right?

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different when it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (come) to staring at the opposite sex, if a man glances at a woman for more than ten seconds, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she ) attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.

    In fact, continuous eye contact is limited to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (love) only, who will enjoy looking at each other {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (gentle ) for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express. Evidently, eye communication should be done according to the relationship between the two people.

    Henry Bond was about ten years old when his father died. He lived {#blank#}1{#/blank#} poor life with his mother. When in fourth grade, Henry wanted a grammar book in order to join a class in the school. But his mother didn't have money {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) one for him. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(trouble) by it, Henry started thinking about {#blank#}4{#/blank#} could be done.

    One morning, it snowed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (heavy) and the cold wind blew hard. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) at the deep snow, Henry said to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (he), “It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.”

    He ran to the house of a neighbor, and offered his services to clear a path in front of his house. The offer was accepted. After {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (complete) this work, he received a tip. Then he went to another place for the same purpose, and then to another, until he earned enough to buy the book.

    When school {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (start), Henry was in his seat, the happiest boy in the class, ready to begin the lesson in his new book.

    Henry was always one of the top students in his class. He knew no such word {#blank#}10{#/blank#} “fail”. Having the will, he always found the way.

    A few months ago I left my hometown for Canada to study. I felt nervous because I was going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}new place with new people. What worried me at first {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be)that I couldn't speak English {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fluent), and I also couldn't understand {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) customs. Everything was different {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my own country. I had to deal with everything alone

    It was a sad moment {#blank#}6{#/blank#}I had to say goodbye to my family and friends at the airport. Suddenly. I felt unwilling {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (leave)my hometown because l grew up there and had wonderful {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(memory) of the familiar place. However， I know studying abroad was a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(decide)that I made myself I had to accept the challenge.

    By now I have got used to the new life here already, though I'm looking forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(spend) the coming vacation with my old friends back home.

    Two new satellites of the BeiDou Navigation (导航) Satellite System (BDS){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(send) into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province on November 19, 2018.

    The satellites entered the orbit{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(safe) more than three hours later and will work with 17 other BDS-3 satellites already in space. They are also the 42^nd and 43^rd{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(member) of the BDS satellite family. China launched these satellites with{#blank#}4{#/blank#}aim of providing navigation services for countries and regions{#blank#}5{#/blank#}participate in the Belt and Road Initiative(倡议) by the end of 2018. This is a key step for BDS developing{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a Chinese experimental system to a regional and then a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(globe) navigation system. The positioning{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(accurate) of the BDS-3 system has been improved to 5 meters.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(name) after the Chinese term for the Plough(北斗七星), the BeiDou system has been serving China for 18 years. The system is expected {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(provide) first-class services around the globe by the end of 2020.
