A young American woman worked in a school in Shanghai． {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she came to China，she knew little about the Chinese culture of language． One day on her way to school，she went to a bank {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(draw) some money．To {#blank#}3{#/blank#}surprise，the bank clerk(职员) asked her if she had had her lunch．She was surprised at such {#blank#}4{#/blank#}question because in the American culture it would mean that the bank clerk is inviting her to lunch．Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating the girl．Since this bank clerk {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a stranger to the American woman，she was very puzzled(困惑的)，and quickly answered that she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(eat) already．After this she went on to school and was even {#blank#}7{#/blank#}surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question．

    By now she understood that it could not be an {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(invite) but was puzzled as to why they asked it．In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(try) to work out why so many people kept asking her this．At last she thought that these people must be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(concern) about her health．She was rather thin at the time，and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!

    In fact the question like that has no real meaning at all — it is only a greeting．

    Beijing was once a city of bikes, known as the Bicycle Kingdom{#blank#}1{#/blank#} cars were reserved for official business and the politically powerful. However, decades of economic {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (grow) led to a huge flowing of cars in the city. Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a requirement for marriage. As the economy developed, autos pushed bikes off the roads{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fortunate), now Beijing may be returning to its roots. Thanks to about 20 technology companies, brightly colored shared bikes {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (flood) into Beijing in the last two years. Many local residents welcome the shared bikes {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the flexibility and freedom they offer. They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop{#blank#}7{#/blank#} off anywhere they like, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a fixed place.

    Analyses in China say it is three factors that contribute to bikes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (increase) rapidly: a lot of cash looking for a home, a good idea and government support. “As the city's population grew, traffic jams got{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bad).” Cai, the Ofo spokeswoman, said, “Shared bikes could solve the 'last mile' problem in{#blank#}10{#/blank#} environmentally friendly way.”

    Keeping a diary in English is one of the most {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (effect) ways to improve our English writing ability. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we persist in this practice, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （difficult）.In the first place, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly. As far as I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (concern), my {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (suggest) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}great use to keep a diary in English for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} development of our writing skills.

    How do learning habits influence learning results? It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits. There is a famous {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) “Good habits lead to good endings”, which shows the importance of habits.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” also {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (show) a healthy everyday habit helps to build up our body. Thus, good learning habits can help us gain great learning results, high scores and abundant knowledge {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (include). At first, learning habits form our ways of thinking and attitude {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the content of our learning. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (obvious), a good habit can help us to speed up to reach our destinations. As we can see, developing a good habit is so important that I would like to introduce one kind of good learning habits — keeping {#blank#}6{#/blank#} learning diary every day. We can start the habit by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) a learning summary and remember to record something impressive and meaningful. Keep it in mind, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} gradually we can gain this good learning habit and benefit from it.

What's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much), I find out that I still have some bad learning habits {#blank#}10{#/blank#} well. I can only concentrate on reading for a short time, and I will conquer this problem by spending more efforts on concentration practice.

    I believe that through my efforts, I can gain good learning results by having good habits.
