Once, a rich man was near death. He was very upset because he had worked so hard for his money {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he hoped he could take it with him to heaven. So he prayed to God he might be able to take some money with him.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} angel heard his pray and appeared. “Sorry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  you can't take your wealth with you.” The man begged the angel to speak to God to see {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he might break the rules. The angel reappeared and said that God could allow him to take one suitcase. Excitedly, the man gathered his suitcase and filled it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} pure gold bars.

    Afterward, he died and showed up in heaven to greet St. Peter. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (see) the suitcase, St. Peter said, “Hold on, you can't bring that here!” The man explained that he had God's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (permit). St. Peter checked it out, came back and said, “You are right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents {#blank#}8{#/blank#} letting it through.”

    St. Peter opened the suitcase to inspect（检查）the things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaimed (感叹), “You brought paving(铺路的) stones? As you can see, the great street of the city of heaven {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) of pure gold!”

    I can't help but feel {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(concern) about the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(destroy) of tropical forests. It is one of the most serious environment problems today. From {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I know, people are damaging thousands of square {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(kilometer) of forests every day. This is killing hundreds of wild animals that live in the forests.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fortunate), we do nothing but talk about it. We don't do anything {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(protect) the forests. We need to stop people doing it. There should be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(strong) laws. I think that people who cut {#blank#}8{#/blank#} forests should go to prison. That's what should happen to people who destroy the forests and kill wildlife.

    In my opinion, we, human beings, must protect wildlife {#blank#}9{#/blank#} future generations. Hopefully, our children {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) more responsible than we are today.

    On Monday, World Health Organization (WHO) stated a plan to rid the world's food supply of trans fats（反式脂肪）. These unhealthy things have been related to many illnesses. WHO is a United Nations organization {#blank#}1{#/blank#} works to improve good health around the world. Its plan is called REPLACE. The step-by-step guide is designed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (help) world governments remove trans fats {#blank#}3{#/blank#} their foods within the next five years.

    Trans fats {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) in baked goods and fried foods. Food companies use trans fats to keep foods for longer periods of time. But the things can be deadly. WHO says that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat) foods with trans fats results in more than 500,000 deaths from heart disease every year. Trans fats are a harmful substances and can be removed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (easy) without major cost and without any effect on the quality of the foods.

    Denmark {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) the first country to ban trans fats 15 years ago. The United States and 40 other {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (country) soon followed. “Why should our children have such {#blank#}9{#/blank#} unsafe substance in their foods?” Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus asked in an interview. He is WHO's director-general. He said that the plan could “make food systems much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (healthy) for future generations.”

    Birth order, whether you are an older, middle or younger child in your family, affects career path as well as personality, a new research shows.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (reach)their conclusions, researchers studied many successful people from different career groups. One of the most important{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (discover) is that middle children are more likely to become CEOs than other children. Among them{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook. The reason could be that they are more{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (competition) and flexible to fight for attention from the parents,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}makes them fit for high-flying roles.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} is claimed that consideration of others and high levels of management are required.

    Interestingly, they found the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(major) of astronauts are eldest children, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (one) born children in the family. While youngest children were found to be more likely to have careers in classical music, because they are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(possible) more sensitive and romantic. As for only children, the study suggests they are more likely to become artists due {#blank#}10{#/blank#}their personality of doing things perfectly and maturely.

    Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That's because they follow what is called the "996" work schedule (时间表) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.

    The "996" work schedule has recently become a hot topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called "996.ICU". According to the website, working a "996" schedule {#blank#}2{#/blank#} enough rest is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU,重症监护病房). This work schedule is now widely used at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, New York Times reported. It causes many tech industry workers to complain. One worker from Baidu company said, "I know I am not the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} worker who works overtime I have worked ‘996' for nine months and I haven't received any overtime pay. It's unfair though quite common." Another worker named Zhang told Quartz, "I can't sleep well and become ill because of the great pressure. I feel really tired, so I am considering giving up this job and looking for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}."

    However, the bosses of some tech companies have supported "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's "a huge treasure" for young workers to work "996". "If you don't put more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don't work ‘996' when you're young, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} will you?" he said.

    Many have questioned Ma's words. In a passage in People's Daily, one writer said "Working ‘996' is just working overtime. However, working overtime does not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} working hard. Working hard requires efforts and working wisely and effectively."

    A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to use a compulsory (强制的) "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more than forty-four hours a week.
