As less people choose to make sugar paintings, the traditional Chinese folk craft might have become a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(distance) memory in some ways. However, a 38-year-old craftsman, Li Jiangzhong, is committed to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (keep) the art of sugar painting alive.

    Li worked as a miner for more than ten years. After {#blank#}3{#/blank#} mine closed down, Li turned{#blank#}4{#/blank#} housing decoration, until he {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(force) to give that up due to a finger injury. Earlier this year, he discovered sugar painting, something he really had an interest in.

    Since there was no sugar painting craftsman in his village, he studied by{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(he) through large quantities of videos and information on the Internet. Li loved painting when he was young, and he found it easy to learn the skill in sugar painting. He soon mastered the skill and could make a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(vary) of sugar paintings. A sugar painting is made with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(melt) brown or white sugar. Craftsman {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(normal) paint animals and flowers on a stone board with the syrup(糖浆). When the sugar cools down, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} appears is a piece of sugar art.

    Peeling（削皮）vegetables can be the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}boring part of any meal as you spend extra  minutes{#blank#}2{#/blank#}prep time. And when you're doing,you{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(leave) with a pile of unusable skins {#blank#}4{#/blank#}usually end up in the garbage can.

    But according to health experts,what we throw away is actually one of the healthiest{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(part) of our foods.

    Daily Mail Online spoke to Mary Jane Detroyer,a registered dietitian and nutritionist based in New York,about {#blank#}6{#/blank#}we shouldn't be peeling our vegetables and all the hidden benefits{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(find) in the skins.

    According to Detroyer,there are several reasons to be leaving the skins on,and the main reason is what you deprive（使丧失）your body of when you peel{#blank#}8{#/blank#}off.The skins of produce like potatoes,carrots,and cucumbers all have plenty of health benefits."The skins have a lot of fiber and it's insoluble（不溶性）fiber,especially{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the skins are colorful,"Detroyer told Daily Mail Online.“Most of the time,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}majority of the vegetable's nutrients are in the skins.”

    Perhaps there is no sport in the world more{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (connect) to sneakers(运动鞋) than basketball. Now, thanks to a new policy, the NBA will{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (strong) its status as the most stylish sports league in the world. When the 2018﹣2019NBA season kicked{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in October, the NBA lifted its color restrictions (限制) on players' sneakers. It is the first time in the league's 72-year history that it{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(allow) shoes to be of any color a player likes, as long as no reflective material{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(include).

    This landmark rule change is part of the NBA's collective effort to support players' "statements" on and off the court. "{#blank#}6{#/blank#} increasing number of people have come to realize that restrictions on the color of players' shoes actually limit{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they) personal expression and storytelling," CNN News noted. Kobe Bryant brought the low﹣top style of sneaker with a Mamba print to the forefront in 2008to symbolize the spirit of perseverance(毅力) and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brave). Kyrie Irving of the Boston Celtics wears probably the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (well-known) signature sneakers. Inspired by his mother, who died when he was four, he has a rose on one side of his shoe to represent her.

    There is no end to the stories about sneakers in basketball. It's certain that they will remain a platform{#blank#}10{#/blank#} players express their ideas and personalities.

An old man saved a town from a terrible monster (怪兽)by throwing many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bamboo) into the fire. The explosion caused by the bamboo frightened off the monster. As {#blank#}9{#/blank#} result, Chinese people set off fireworks (爆竹)during Chinese New Year celebrations {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (avoid) the evil spirits of the past.
