A researcher has made a report {#blank#}1{#/blank#} says having a lot of money makes you a bad person. Professor Paul Piff spent ten years {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (look) at the personalities of rich people and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (find) that their behaviour was very different {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the behavior of poor people. Rich people are more likely to break {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (rule), not follow the law, and not care about other people. Wealthy people cheat more at games and are less likely to help other people. Professor Piff told the BBC, “Wealth makes you more {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (worry) about your own interests, your own desires, your own welfare.” He added that rich people think their own goals and needs are the most {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (importance) thing in their life.

    Professor Piff also found that poor people are more generous than rich people. The poor give a higher percentage of their money {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (help) others than the rich. The {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wealth) you are, the less generous you are. You give significantly smaller portions away to other people. However, he said that rich people could change their behavior and become nicer {#blank#}10{#/blank#} more generous.

    In London, there are many so-called pop-up shops(流动商店). Why they get such a name is that they are just temporary {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (arrange).

    Pop-up shops first appeared in the UK in the early 2000s. They were{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (origin)a way for small companies to rent small space in great locations.

    In 2008，many businesses had to shut down. Shops and some offices{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (leave)empty when people stopped{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (run) them. Smart businessmen occupied some of them quickly because they could start a business with much {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (low) risk. The temporary nature of a pop一up gave them the opportunity{#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( test) a product and develop a customer base. Being small made {#blank#}7{#/blank#} easier for pop-ups to expand if they were successful.

    Pop-up shops can take many different forms. They might be temporary shops in the high street or a shopping centre. hey might be simple market stalls. According to a 2014 report made {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the Centre of Economic and Business Research, the pop-up industry was worth £2. 1 billion {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it is expected to grow by 8.4% this year.

    Almost anything{#blank#}10{#/blank#} can be on a high street can also be a pop-up. In an age of fast changing habits, the pop-up idea might be here to stay.

I used to be very fat. I didn't consider{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to be a burden until some of my friends started to call me "Fatty", {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was more than I could bear. I tried hard to do something about it but was unable to find an effective way{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(reduce) my weight. Some suggested that I should have only a meal a day, and I thought the idea was worth{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (try). However, it did not help make any significant progress because, being too{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hunger), I tended to eat a lot more the next day. If I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(skip) a dinner, I wouldn't even have the energy to get out of bed the next morning. Since such things were repeated all the time, my frustration deepened day after day. Finally, a friend of mine advised me to go to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} fitness center. I gave it a try and it {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(real) worked wonders. Over the past several months I have lost more than 30 pounds. Now, I am much {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(thin). When my friends jokingly say I am as light {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a feather, I know I have rid myself of the burden.

    Any bird that crossed his path would be eaten by Rex, a German shepherd. Rex{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(rescue) from his previous shelter, where he was going to be put down after a biting incident. Last year, he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(eventual) arrived at Puriton Horse and Animal Rescue.

    Geraldine was a goose abandoned by owners who could no longer put up {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her. She wasn't exactly the picture of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(warm), either, when she arrived at the same shelter three months ago. The dog and the goose were individually given labels like cruel and dangerous. Neither seemed particularly harmonious with humans or even members of their own species.

    But when the two {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(annoy) creatures were offered a chance to hang out together, something magical happened. They chased each other when first {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(introduce), but Geraldine stood up for herself and that was that. They just fell in love with each other.

    “I've been doing rescue work since 1997 and seen all {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(kind) of strange animal behavior, but I've never seen anything like this,” said Sheila Brislin, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}is the founder of the shelter. “It's so amusing to see them because they love each other to bits. They are very affectionate. She just{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(run) around alongside him all day long and whenever we take him for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}walk in the woods she has to come, too.”
