A university in southeast China has a new server in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) canteen making noodles for the students. The video{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(show) a robotic chef working in the kitchen and making noodles {#blank#}3{#/blank#}dough (面团) at South China Agricultural University.

    It was given human-like facial features (特征) and can be seen{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（wear) a face mask, hat and chef's uniform. The robot was designed{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(improve) the traditional way of making “Dao Xiao Mian", {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is a specialty in Shanxi Province in northern China.

A student said: “I've heard that there are always long {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(queue) at the knife-cut noodle stall at the canteen."

    However, web users on Chinese social media said the robot chef{#blank#}10{#/blank#} （be） not something new. The use of robots in restaurants is becoming increasingly popular in China over the past few years.

    Many years ago, everyone {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(eat) all kinds of food, especially fruit, vegetables and fish. At the same they took {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(day) exercise. They were very healthy. All of that made a dark witch{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(anger). So she invented a potion which could let people like to eat unhealthy food.

    One day, a little boy found the bottle with the potion.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(think) that it was some kind of drink, he drank it. A few days later, a strange feeling in his body let the boy lose his appetite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}vegetables, fruit and fish. All he wanted to do was to eat ice cream, pizza, burgers and candy. And because of another strange feeling all over his body, the boy didn't enjoy exercising,  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The boy gave up eatinghealthy food and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) exercise at once. Soon his life got more and more boring. He started feeling ill. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}was important to him except sleeping at home. The boy had a disease, the disease of wasting his life. And the worst thing of all was that the disease was infectious. Luckily, Doctor Healthy discovered if a person lived a healthy and happy life, the potion would be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(use) in a short time. So{#blank#}10{#/blank#}could the waste-of-life disease be cured? The best remedy was not medicine, but just an effort to eat some fruit, vegetables and fish and to do some exercise.

    Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine？{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stare) at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (low) home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.

    A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (throw) up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.

Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage（房贷） lending and an unavoidable house-price crash— {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.

    As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When {#blank#}7{#/blank#} some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes. That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pay) off an entire house？

    Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We {#blank#}9{#/blank#} rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.

    Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) sense.
