Millions of people in cities across Asia are using phone apps to borrow bicycles for local travel. This kind of technology is made for people who want to leave {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (car) and motorcycles at home, and avoid {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (spend) money on a taxi service.

    As {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (report) on TV, bicycle sharing has been rising in popular places like Beijing and Singapore. The two-year bike-sharing trend（趋势）has put over 16 million bikes in China alone, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} has cut car use and demand for gas. “I often use bike-sharing service because it's very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use),” said Wei Zhang, who uses a shared bike several times a week {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to work.

    “Bike-sharing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) crazy since late last year,” said Harry Liu, who works as an advisor for HIS Market. He added that more people are using public transport {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the reason that they can finish their trip with a shared bike.

    Last month, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Chinese bike-sharing start-up company opened offices in Kuala Lumper, Bangkok and Washington D. C. The company, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (found) in April 2016, is called Mobike. Another Chinese company, ofo, provides a similar service.

    Nowadays, we can find advertisements {#blank#}1{#/blank#}we go. We are so used {#blank#}2{#/blank#} them that we often don't realize how many we see and hear in a day. I did some research on them and now there {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) some important information to share with you. There are two main types of advertisements--{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(commerce) advertisements and public service advertisements. The first one is the kind {#blank#}5{#/blank#} someone has paid for to advertise a product or service. The second one, known as PSAs, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(run) for free and are meant to educate people about health, safety, or any {#blank#}7{#/blank#} problems that affect public welfare. Both advertisements uses words and attractive pictures to persuade people {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(buy) a product or service, or believe in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} idea. There are lots of media places {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you can find these advertisements.

    When I first heard about the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). I thought about something simple and straightforward — like a fragrant cup of tea.

    For centuries, tea has brought {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(culture), communities, and people closer together. In the past centuries, tea {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(connect) economies through trade and investment. The Belt and Road Initiative holds a similar promise, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}is about connecting cultures, communities, economies, and people. It is about awaking ancient trade routes and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(build) new ones. It is also about adding new economic flavors by creating infrastructure (基础建设) projects based on 21st century expertise and standards. Delivering on this promise is not an easy task, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}doing so could bring great benefits.

    First, high-quality infrastructure could help stimulate potential global {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (grow), and raise the incomes of millions of people. As the Chinese proverb {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (go), “To become rich, one must first build roads.” A second benefit is greater inclusiveness. Think of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(improve) roads in rural areas that can boost productivity and access to health services. By sharing the benefits of investment and knowledge more broadly, improvement will be {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(strong) and more inclusive. A third benefit is stronger economic cooperation. This would help boost global trade, investment, and financial cooperation, making {#blank#}10{#/blank#} easier to share the benefits of growth more widely. All this is good for consumers, good for productivity, and good for poverty reduction.

    Vegetarianism(素食主义)is becoming one rising trend in the UK, as more people are deciding not {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(eat) meat and animal products. Vegetarians are people who don't eat meat, while vegans are people who don't eat or use any animal products at all. These lifestyles {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(become) more well-known in the UK. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are Britons cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the environment. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(worry) about food safety and foodborne illnesses, such as mad cow disease, have also played a part. Others choose to change their eating habits in order to become {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (healthy). According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet can help reduce {#blank#}7{#/blank#} risk of certain cancers, as well as heart disease and high blood pressure.

    Organic farming is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} rising trend that is appearing in the UK. Many people are rejecting genetically modified(转基因的)food and want their food to be {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(organic) produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals. Organic meat {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(produce) without the use of drugs.
