On the first day of school our professor{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(introduce) Rose,a little old lady,to us."Why are you in college at such{#blank#}2{#/blank#}old age?"I asked later.She jokingly replied,"I'm here to meet a rich husband,get{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(marry),have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."

    At the end of the first term we invited Rose{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) a speech to our football team.She cleared her throat and began,"We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you lose your dreams, you will die.There is a huge difference{#blank#}6{#/blank#}growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they've done,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}rather for things they haven't done.The only people{#blank#}8{#/blank#}fear death are those with regrets."

    At the end of that year Rose finished the college degree.One week after graduation Rose died{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(peace) in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral（葬礼）to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's{#blank#}10{#/blank#}too late to be all you can possibly be.

    In my family, there {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) three people. My father is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (farm) and goes to work in the field every day. He isn't good at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talk) but he gets on well with other people. My mother is very kind and is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (friend) to everybody. So when I have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} problem I will turn{#blank#}6{#/blank#} her for help. My friends say I am clever, because when the teacher asks {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (we) very difficult questions, I can come up with the answers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (quick). But my father thinks I am not patient. He says once I have difficulty in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) problems, I will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (easy) give up. This is what I need to improve in the future.

    Have you ever tasted or perhaps heard of sugar painting? As fewer people choose to make sugar paintings, the traditional Chinese folk craft might have become a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(distance) memory in some ways. However, a 38-year-old craftsman, Li Jiangzhong, is devoted to{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(keep) the art of sugar painting alive.

    Li worked as a miner for more than ten years. After{#blank#}3{#/blank#}mine closed down, Li turned{#blank#}4{#/blank#}housing decoration until he{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(force) to give that up due to a finger injury. Earlier this year, he discovered sugar painting, something he really had an interest in.

    Since there was no sugar painting craftsman in his village, he studied by{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(he) through large quantities of videos and information on the Internet. Li loved painting when he was young, and he found it easy to learn the skill in sugar painting. He soon mastered the skill and could make{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(vary) of sugar paintings. A sugar painting is made with{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(melt) brown or white sugar. Craftsman{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(basic) paint animals and flowers on a stone board with the syrup(糖浆). When the sugar cools down,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} appears is a piece of sugar art.

    Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman {#blank#}1{#/blank#} always dreamed of becoming rich. He wished to become {#blank#}2{#/blank#} millionaire, and so did his wife. He heard {#blank#}3{#/blank#} some old men before, that several ships {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (load) with diamonds and gold had sunk in the nearby seashore. Because of this, for a long time he kept searching that whole area for this treasure.

    One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming, he suddenly felt that the fishing rod {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (weigh) down by a heavy object. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (excite) pulled hard at it, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he saw made him shout, "Wow! A big, shiny gold chain!" He pulled hard at the gold chain to get it into the boat, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} seemed to be no end to it. His boat started to get overload and the sea water filled his boat. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, he had begun dreaming of a big house, a big piece of land and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (buy) horses and cows... He kept pulling at the chain while the boat kept sinking. The boat was finally submerged and he struggled to stay afloat. Unfortunately, his feet were caught in the gold chain and he drowned.

    Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1926. In spite of her father's objections, Elisabeth was determined at an early age {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(study) medicine and in 1957 received her medical degree from the University of Zurich. In 1958 she married Dr. Emanuel Ross, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}American, who also studied medicine at the university and they moved to the U.S. to fulfill their medical dreams {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (well).

    While working at Manhattan State Hospital, Dr. Kubler-Ross {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(horrify) by the routine neglect and poor treatment of mental patients. It was here that she began her lifelong approach to medical practice as she developed a program of individual care and attention for each patient. This approach resulted{#blank#}5{#/blank#}significant improvement in the mental health of 94% of her patients.

    In 1965, Dr. Kubler-Ross published her first book, On Death and Dying, a 1969 worldwide bestseller. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(base) on her many patient interviews, she identified the five now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wide) accepted stages that patients go through as they approach death: denial, anger, bargaining,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(depress) and acceptance.

    During her career, Dr. Kubler-Ross served in 16 different hospitals and universities,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(write) more than 20 books, many of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}were translated into other languages, and received many honors. In 1999, she was listed among Time's 100 Most Important Thinkers of the Century.

    In many places like Britain and Italy, if you leave the house without your wallet, you'll be in a tough situation all day. But in China, you can enjoy your day just {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a smart phone.

    The other day, I set out {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) how far a phone would get me in the country's capital. Admittedly, I was surprised to discover how {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(convenience) it was.

    I used my phone to call a taxi to meet my Chinese friend,Gu Yu, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}would guide me to get around Beijing. We paid for breakfast by{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(scan) a QR code (二维码) on the window of a restaurant selling jianbing, one of China's most popular street breakfasts. My purchase cost 6 yuan and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) just a few seconds. At a nearby coffee shop, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(it) owner scanned a QR code on my phone. As we sipped our coffee,Gu Yu paid her household water bill. She used the same simple process to pay other bills and even her rent. We also paid by phone for movie tickets ,takeout food and shopping for goods for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(deliver)

    I have known from Gu Yu that from tiny street stands to large chains, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} huge number of people accept mobile payments, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(most) through popular apps Alipay and WeChat.
