The giant panda {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby.

It was time for her to have a new baby, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}itwas also time for the young panda to be independent.

    Around twenty years ago I was living in York. Although I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree, I could not find {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(satisfy) work.

    I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(me), for I had lost my flat. I had attended five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs, they called to say I did not get the job. "Why has my life become so hard?" I thought {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(pain).

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl, she handed me an earring {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(say) that I should keep it in case somebody claimed it. The earring {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (paint) black and said "BE HAPPY".

    At first I got angry. Then it hit me — I had been {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(give) all of my attention to what was going wrong with my life rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to add more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a lady who was a director at a larger hospital. She asked me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I would give a one-day lecture on stress {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(manage) to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

    My day there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking that I completely changed my life.

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings {#blank#}1{#/blank#}of satisfying hunger. Believe it or not, we've all been there. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a big test? But when done a lot — especially {#blank#}3{#/blank#} realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} steps to change it. One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied {#blank#}6{#/blank#} major life events, like a death or a divorce. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses {#blank#}7{#/blank#} cause someone {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(seek) comfort in food.

We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. That's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

    Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.

    If you study abroad, it's necessary to mix with the locals. This allows you{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(test) your language skills and find out more about the local culture. Having lived abroad for three years, I'm able to put forward a list of tips to help you make friends in a foreign country.

    Firstly, say yes to everything within reason. Obviously, if you don't feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ease, you can choose not to do anything. However, don't put off trying something new. The group of students from your class who invite you out for a coffee might end up {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) your friends for life!

    Secondly, develop a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entire) new hobby. Join a dance class, a walking club or learn to cook the local food—the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(possibility) are endless!

    Thirdly, get out of the house! Hours {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(spend) on the computer chatting with your family back at home surely make you even homesick. Just get out and explore the exciting place you live in.

    Lastly, be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(confidence) when you are surrounded by people speaking {#blank#}8{#/blank#} unfamiliar language. Even if you may find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} difficult to involve yourself in conversations, you should try to make your voice heard. Once you open your mouth and begin to speak, it's likely {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will find everyone wants to know more about you.

    Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities, especially in places{#blank#}1{#/blank#} traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) to enable pedestrians to cross roads {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(safe). Overhead bridges are used in very much the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}way as Zebra crossings. They are more efficient although{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(little) convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(convenient) especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(help) pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (risk) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(lose) of life.
