Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.

    First, reading books is f {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. You can always keep yourself amused if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.

    Next, you can read a book a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}: in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed—even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} and then start again.

    A {#blank#}4{#/blank#} good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This m{#blank#}5{#/blank#} that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much e{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.

    Some people say that reading is out of date (过时). This is not true. You have to be able to read to use a computer and, the better you read, the b{#blank#}7{#/blank#} your computer skills will be. Reading is n{#blank#}8{#/blank#} out of date!

    Good readers are most likely to be good w{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, too. They usually have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best. W{#blank#}10{#/blank#} other hobbies could be more useful, or more enjoyable?

    When you receive an invitation from an American friend, you should know something about table {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Don't circle your plate {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your arms.If you do so, people will look at you. They will think you don't like the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} on the table.

    Don't put the plate back when you finish your {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Leave it where it was.

    Use the knife and fork correctly. We usually put the knife our right hand,and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in our left hand. After you finish {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the food, just put the knife and fork across the plate.

    Don't {#blank#}7{#/blank#} up everything before eating. Cut only one or two {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of it every time.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} take a mouthful(满口)of food. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don't do that. It's impolite.

    Don't stand up to get {#blank#}10{#/blank#} that is far from you on the table.If the thing you want isn't at hand, just ask the nearest person for help,like “Mrs Smith,could you please pass me the dish?”

    Everyone knows "the one-child policy". It is a(n) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}to control (控制) population. Chinese government {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to control the increasing population at first. Chinese people understood that and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}that policy for about 40 years.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}，as time goes by, a problem appears in our society. China is now getting into an aging {#blank#}5{#/blank#}There will be more and more old people in the following years. But the society won't have {#blank#}6{#/blank#}doctors, or nurses to look after them.

    That's why Chinese {#blank#}7{#/blank#} began "the two-child policy" on 1st January 2016. It {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each family to have two children. The government thinks it can help stop our country from entering the aging society.
