As is known, China is a great country with a time-honored history and profound culture. While {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mention)Chinese culture, Chinese tea culture cannot be missed. It is the culture of making tea and drinking tea in China, which is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (difference) from that of Europe, Britain, and Japan.

    In China, drinking tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#}．(refer)as tasting tea, which not only means distinguishing the quality of tea, but also enjoying the pleasure of falling into the dream about life while drinking tea. A short retreat from a much busier life, make a cup of tea{#blank#}4{#/blank#}．taste it in a quiet place on your own, not only relieving tiredness but also refreshing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (you) soul heartily.

    China is a country with a time-honored civilization,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}is quite particular about ceremony and etiquette(礼节). When guests pay a visit, etiquette of making tea for guests is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(basic)required. When making tea, proper blending of tea{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (leaf)is quite necessary, so that favorable flavor would be created. When drinking tea with guests, pay attentions to the tea left in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} cup of guests and it should be refilled when the cup is half-full. If   {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (accompany)with tea dessert, candies and dishes, drinking tea would be more tasteful and joyful.

    The "selfie" is used to describe the self-taken photo, often from a smartphone. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time he does, and he only ends up {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (post) one or two of those. He picks the one that he feels make him look the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good). In that picture, he gains confidence. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has happened to him {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(remove), because that smile is what gives him the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (determine) to love himself.

    I read {#blank#}5{#/blank#} poem recently and the young man said, "If I ask you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you love, the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love your mom, you daughter, or your friends. How long do you think you can go on and on before you say 'I love {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( I )' "

    That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I've struggled with confidence all my life. I still do. And in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway {#blank#}9{#/blank#} confidence. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.

Dear brother,

    I'm now writing to you for your advice. How I wish you{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) here with me!

    Yesterday afternoon, I went to a bookstore with one of my friends. After we went out, he showed me {#blank#}2{#/blank#}book he had stolen ,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(consider)he was wrong, I suggested he{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(go)back to return it or pay for it.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} he didn't listen to me, otherwise I wouldn't have reported it to his mother.

    Now I'm really{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (regret). I would rather I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (let)his mother know it. After all, he is my friend, without {#blank#}8{#/blank#}help, I wouldn't have made so rapid progress in study.

    But {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is now obvious that he has begun to hate me. It seems as if we hadn't been friends before. Can you advise what I should do now?

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) you in my position, what would you do? I hope you can give me some advice as soon as possible.

    Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about {#blank#}1{#/blank#} happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell? Well, you might be shocked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (find) out that nearly one third of the food {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (produce) by food industry gets wasted. What's more, around 800 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead {#blank#}4{#/blank#} healthy life.

    Many people in the UK are trying to do something about this imbalance and make use {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thrown-out food that is edible (可食用的). For example, there is a cafe in Leeds whose meals are created using unsold food from supermarkets, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (include) a lot of vegetables, fruit, fish and other items. This unwanted food is turned into delicious soups that feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (simple) pay what they can afford, or help with the washing up.

    More cafes like this are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester, and it is now becoming a worldwide tendency. This is a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (amaze) project as food waste is one of the world's biggest {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (problem). Also, new law should {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pass), so that supermarkets don't throw away so much perfectly good food!

    Perhaps there is no sport in the world more{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (connect) to sneakers(运动鞋) than basketball. Now, thanks to a new policy, the NBA will{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (strong) its status as the most stylish sports league in the world. When the 2018﹣2019NBA season kicked{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in October, the NBA lifted its color restrictions (限制) on players' sneakers. It is the first time in the league's 72-year history that it{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(allow) shoes to be of any color a player likes, as long as no reflective material{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(include).

    This landmark rule change is part of the NBA's collective effort to support players' "statements" on and off the court. "{#blank#}6{#/blank#} increasing number of people have come to realize that restrictions on the color of players' shoes actually limit{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they) personal expression and storytelling," CNN News noted. Kobe Bryant brought the low﹣top style of sneaker with a Mamba print to the forefront in 2008to symbolize the spirit of perseverance(毅力) and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brave). Kyrie Irving of the Boston Celtics wears probably the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (well-known) signature sneakers. Inspired by his mother, who died when he was four, he has a rose on one side of his shoe to represent her.

    There is no end to the stories about sneakers in basketball. It's certain that they will remain a platform{#blank#}10{#/blank#} players express their ideas and personalities.

    Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn't dream about roses {#blank#}3{#/blank#}eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) dreams.

    And if you think {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(age) over 55 and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}other half under 25.

    The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.
