In a small village there was a postman. When he was 20 years old，he started sending all kinds of happy or sad {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the villagers' homes 50 kilometers away day after day. Twenty years. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}by，and so many changes took place，but there were still no flowers or trees along the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}，only flying dust. 

"How long shall I go along this dusty road？" As soon as he thought he had to spend his life {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the bike on the road with no flowers or trees，he felt very sad. 

One day when he finished sending the letters and was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to return，he passed by a flower shop. "Right，that's it！" He walked into the shop，bought some 

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} flower seeds，and the next day he began to drop these seeds along the road. After one day，two days，one month，two months…He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} kept dropping the wild flower seeds. 

Before long，a lot of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} flowers came out along the road，blooming（开花）in all seasons. 

 For the villagers，the flowers and the sweet smell were {#blank#}9{#/blank#} pleasant than any letters the postman sent in all his life. 

On the road without dust but full of flowers，the postman rode his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} happily. He never felt lonely or anxious any more. 

There is nothing like chocolate. Just thinking about it can make your mouth water. September 13 is the International Chocolate Day, which gives us a good reason to celebrate the world's most popular sweet. 

Chocolate comes from a civilization（文明）called the Maya. They had a special food called cocoa. The word cocoa means" gift from God". About five hundred years ago, the Europeans found the Mayans and used cocoa to make chocolate. 

For centuries, only the rich could enjoy chocolate, and normal people could not get hold of it. All this changed when European companies started to produce chocolate bars in the 19th century. Chocolate comes in different colors and sizes. People often eat white, dark and milk chocolate. The biggest chocolate bar was ever made in Italy in 2011 and weighed almost 6 tons! That's as big as an elephant. 

There are also different shapes of chocolate and people often take them as holiday gifts. Chocolate bunnies（小兔子）and eggs are popular on Easter, chocolate coins are common on Christmas Day, and chocolate hearts are great gifts for Valentine's Day. At certain parties and wedding ceremonies(结婚典礼), chocolate fountains always surprise guests. 

Lots of people say chocolate is bad for your health. Not necessarily so! Scientists now say it is good for people's heart and can make the body release chemicals that actually make us happy and make us feel better. But don't eat too much of it. 

Cai Xuzhe dreamed of flying high when he was young. He was a new face on the Shenzhou-14 team. He spent 12 years as an astronaut（宇航员） getting ready for his first trip to space.

"I am happy and proud but feel more about my duty（责任）," Cai told reporters. Cai and other two team members, Chen Dong and Liu Yang, left the earth on board the Shenzhou-14 spaceship in June of 2022, for a six - month stay in space. They finished the work of building the Tiangong space station.

Cai was born in 1976 in the countryside of Shenzhou City, Hebei Province. He showed interest in planes as a child. When he heard a plane flying past, he ran out and looked at it till it flew away.

Cai went to an Air Force flight college（空军飞行学院）. After finishing college, he began to work at an airport. The airport was in poor condition. However, he studied and trained his flying skills there carefully. InMay 2010, Cai became a Chinese astronaut and underwent（接受） hard training. He did best in his training and finally became a Shenzhou-14 team member. He tried his best to make his dream come true.
