Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated because no customers came to his restaurant.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (Curious) drove him to follow a customer into a newly-opened restaurant. He found that Yonghui opened a restaurant where only {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(slim) foods were served to help people lose weight. After having a look at the menu, he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(amaze) at the choices of food and the prices{#blank#}4{#/blank#} cost more than a good meal in his restaurant. He thought he could not have Yonghui{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(get) away with telling people lies! After a lot of research he realized that Yong hui's food could not give people enough energy to keep them fit. He felt more{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hope) as he drove back home. He wrote his sign in order to win his customers{#blank#}7{#/blank#} A week later, Wang Peng's smile left his face when Yonghui said he{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (spy) on her menu. Then later they found {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of their restaurants offers a balanced diet and decided to combine their ideas and provide a new menu with food which can cut down the fat and increase the fiber. Their balanced diets became such{#blank#}10{#/blank#} success that before long their business cooperation turned into a personal one. Finally, they got married and lived a happy life.

    China, which takes pride in inventions in ancient times, has once again shown its{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(able) to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. The “new four great inventions” are all related{#blank#}2{#/blank#}China's high-tech innovation(创新){#blank#}3{#/blank#}improved the quality of people's lives. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat{#blank#}4{#/blank#}I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong{#blank#}5{#/blank#}overseas Chinese student from Cambodia{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(add) that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”

    The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. It is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is partly because China skipped over the PC age and went directly to mobile. China has the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(large) mobile use in the world.

    In terms of the “new four great inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said, “These products and services{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) customer experience so far, improving national and global economy at the same time”.

    Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. One day, he told his students that their homework was to perform a simple and random act of kindness. Not  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(understand) the homework, the students didn't know what to do. Chuck didn't answer their questions. {#blank#}2{#/blank#},he encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.

    One week later, the students entered the classroom and began sharing their stories {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(excited). One student reported helping a poor dog {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (abandon) by its owner. Another student told others about giving blankets away to the homeless. Gradually, more and more students developed the habit of doing such kind acts, from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they benefited a lot.

    Since then, similar kind acts{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (perform) in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(celebrate) World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of the Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(differ) kind act, such{#blank#}9{#/blank#} making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service or raising money for a charity. In this way, students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) place.

    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!
