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.”

    A material can be really special when it was named after theplace where it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (create)originally. That'certainly the case {#blank#}2{#/blank#} "china". And of all types of china,white porcelain(瓷)is among the most famous.

    Nowadays, the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tradition) material has taken on amodern look in the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hand)of four Chinese artists in theModern White Porcelain Exhibition. And the key word here is "modern". One of the works {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) a porcelain boat. But look {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attentive) and you'll see that the boat {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (build)with porcelain looks like atakeout box. Inside the boat is a statue of a baby. The baby stands for humansand the boat is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} supports life. It suggests we may havedone some damage to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} environment and that we're treating life like fast food.

    All the four artists gave white porcelain a model style,each in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) own way. And this is what theexhibition's theme comes from. It's a dialogue between the past and thepresent.

    People in Thailand are very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(friend). After all, Thailand means "a land of smiles". But visitors still have to follow certain customs once in the land of smiles.

    First of all, show respect to the Buddha(佛). Thailand is a Buddhist country{#blank#}2{#/blank#}has a long and rich history. Therefore, it is very important for the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tourist) to treat the Buddha with respect.

    Don't touch the head,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(especial) the head of the grown-ups. In Thailand, head is regarded{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the most important part of the body. It {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (consider) extremely rude to touch an adult's head. Certainly, it is acceptable for close friends or family members to touch each other's heads.

    Mind the feet and put them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they should be. Visitors are not allowed{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(point) their feet directly at another person or the Buddha. It is not proper to step over a person or the Buddha {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. In other words, your feet should always be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(low) than another person's head.

    Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine？{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stare) at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (low) home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.

    A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (throw) up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.

Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage（房贷） lending and an unavoidable house-price crash— {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.

    As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When {#blank#}7{#/blank#} some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes. That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pay) off an entire house？

    Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We {#blank#}9{#/blank#} rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.

    Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) sense.
