Harvard is one of the most famous educational institutions in the world and many people want to study there. The problem is that most applicants don't follow the advice that will most likely get them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pick).

    One of the most important things you should remember when {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (apply) to Harvard is that THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE A LIFE. This is probably the main requirement after your grades. The best situation is that you are a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (nature) leader with lots of activities and active social life. Another important thing to remember is that you have to promote (推销) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (you) but in a reasonable manner. You should be aware of your strengths and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (weak). Grades are very important but they are not everything. Try to gain a great school record from your high school years, take extra courses that are interesting, and enjoy life. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} rest will come naturally.

    Last but not least, let's pay attention {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the interview. You should be respectful and most importantly, show real interest in the school (not only the name). {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is a matter of luck to get an interviewer who shares common interests with you. The thing with the interview is that Harvard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (receive) applications from hundreds, if not thousands of students with the same grades. This means the interview is your chance to show {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you are unique.

    No one could say that Katy Perry is an ordinary artist. Her songs are not just about sweet love and heartbreaks,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}usually have bigger themes. Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar(2013) for example,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Perry sings about being our own master and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(discover) our true value. Earlier this year, she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (announce) her new album (专辑) Witness, together with a new idea for W music Perry calls her new style “purpose pop”, meaning a{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(society) and political message. It seems that Perry has become tired{#blank#}6{#/blank#} simply encouraging people. Now, she wants to educate them politically as well. The best example of Perry's purposeful pop is{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (probable) the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (behave) that people are unwilling to think more critically (批判的) about the world.

    But when it comes to the concept (概念) of purposeful pop, it is, in fact, something a lot of pop stars have been doing for a while. For example, Beyonce's 2016 song Formation deals with various problems such as an {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (argue) between white policemen and black citizens (公民) in the US,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope) to create change through music.

    This morning, they left on a long trip to Hawaii. They were as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(excite) as if it were their honeymoon(蜜月).

    When my parents married(结婚), they had only enough money for a three-day trip fifty miles from home. They made an {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(agree) that each day they would put a dollar in a special metal box and save it for a honeymoon in Hawaii for their fiftieth anniversary(周年纪念).

    Dad was a policeman, and Mom was a school teacher. They lived in a small house and did all {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) own repairs. Raising five children was a challenge, and sometimes money was short, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} no matter what emergency came up, Dad would not let Mom take any money out of the “Hawaii account(账户)”. As {#blank#}5{#/blank#} account grew, they put it in a saving account and then bought CDs.

    My parents {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) always very much in love since the day they got married. I can remember Dad {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(come) home and telling Mom, “I have a dollar in my pocket,” and she would smile {#blank#}8{#/blank#}him and say, “I know how to spend it.”

    When each of us children married, Mom and Dad gave us a small metal box and told us their secret, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}we found attractive. All five of us are now saving for our dream honeymoon. Mom and Dad never told us how much money they had managed {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(save), but it must have been fairly large because when they cashed in those CDs, they had enough for the flights to Hawaii and a hotel room for ten days and plenty of spending money.

    With so much information available in books and online, it's easy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (learn) a few new facts each day. But how much of that do you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (actual) remember? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}your answer is not much, here is the good news. Scientists at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, recently designed a new typeface (字体) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was invented with read-it-and-forget-it people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} mind. Very appropriately, it's called Sans Forgetica.

    The idea behind Sans Forgetica is simple. The typeface is a tiny bit {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (difficulty) to read, which {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mean) your brain has to work twice as hard to understand what it says. Because of that deeper focus, you'll have a better memory for whatever you're reading. That's not just a theory, either. The typeface was created by a team of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (researcher) from RMIT University's School of Design and its Behavioural Business Lab. The group worked with a famous typographer Stephen Banham to test and improve {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) product.

    The typeface uses principles of cognitive psychology to create an effect {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (know) as desirable difficulty, the researchers note, which causes the brain to take part in deeper cognitive processing. The result is improved memory.
