As people often say, ＂No one knows the value of health{#blank#}1{#/blank#}he loses it.＂ In other words (换句话说), nothing is more important {#blank#}2{#/blank#}health. Good health is beneficial{#blank#}3{#/blank#}your work and study. But how to keep healthy? Here I want to give you some advice.

    First, you should go to bed early and get up early. Second, keep a healthy and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(balance) diet — eat more vegetables and fruits and other food full of energy and fibre; eat sugar and rich food as little as possible. Don't eat food {#blank#}5{#/blank#}has gone bad. Third, get rid of the bad habits such as {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(smoke), drinking or staying{#blank#}7{#/blank#} too late. Physical exercise can make your body strong, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}we should exercise every day. In {#blank#}9{#/blank#}word, health is more valuable than anything else. We should do everything we can to keep us {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(health).

    When I called{#blank#}1{#/blank#}my mother, she told me snakes came near the house now and then. Here was a chance for me to distinguish {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(my)by inventing something merciful that would seize snakes but not harm them. I tried to find some products{#blank#}3{#/blank#}might help me, but there only seemed to be{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(powder) designed to kill snakes. I set about{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(research) the habits of snakes. Prepared with some research findings, I{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (decide) on three possible approaches. I chose the most practical one to cool the snakes with frozen bowl and ice-cream so that they would become sleepy{#blank#}7{#/blank#}could be easily caught. My third attempt was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(success). I carried in my hand a small net in the expectation that the snakes would bite again. But {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (monitor) carefully, the snakes proved to be no trouble. I collected the passive snakes and the next day and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(merry) released them all back into the wild.

    The word Nushu literally means “women's writing” in Chinese: As the name suggests, Nushu is created and specially used by women.

    Often {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（call） “the world's only surviving characters for women”, these slim words were developed from standard written Chinese. In the old days, Nushu {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（teach）by elderly women to girls at home because female children weren't allowed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（attend）formal school. During gatherings in villages, women used the characters to .write poems or song lyrics to express their emotions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hidden from men. The words were full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at that time.

    Ji Xianlin once said that Nushu is a feminist（女权主义者）symbol. “It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} unique writing system created by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（talent）women who were deprived（剥夺）of the right to education,” he wrote in an article. “It has significance in various {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（field）and represents Chinese people's strong spirit.”

    Nushu was made as a national cultural heritage in 2006. However, it is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（wide）used in daily life today. In fact, it is a dying language. Now linguists are taking action to prevent this incredible cultural heritage from{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（disappear）.

    Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that this year she could{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(easy) buy a special one {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(please) him, just like her mother, who was always delighted to receive her gift.

    Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(push) you with their elbows (肘部)，hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.

    Jane paused in front of a counter {#blank#}6{#/blank#}some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her.“ Worth double the price. ” But Jane knew from past experience that her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

    Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes on sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already {#blank#}9{#/blank#}table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(inform).
