    I still remember that day. It was Friday. I had the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}but I didn't go to the doctor. I went to school as usual. It was quiet in the classroom. All of us were busy{#blank#}2{#/blank#}for a test. We didn't see our English teacher Mr. Smith come into the classroom {#blank#}3{#/blank#}he started to talk.

    "Who can describe what stress (压力) is like?" No one tried to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to his question. Mr. Smith looked a little {#blank#}5{#/blank#}But he still {#blank#}6{#/blank#}our answers. Five minutes later, Mr. Smith still didn't get an answer. Mr. Smith looked not only sad but also {#blank#}7{#/blank#}He raised (举起) a book and asked, "How heavy is this book?" He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Jason to answer the question. Jason said, "I think it is 100g." Another student said, "It is 200g." At last, Mr. Smith said, " It's real weight (重量) is not important. The important thing is how long you hold. If you hold it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}putting it down, sooner or later (迟早), you will not be able to hold it up. This book is like stress. If you have stress, stop and take a break. Don't {#blank#}10{#/blank#}my advice(建议), boys and girls! You should learn to take time to relax. If you do, I am sure you will enjoy your school life." I'll never forget Mr. Smith and that meaningful lesson.

    The most popular TV program in the UK last year was a show called The Great British Bake Off. Each week{#blank#}1{#/blank#} people take part in the competition. They are trying to make the best cakes and bread within a time limit. There are two judges, and each week they choose a “Star Baker” (the best baker). They also choose one person to leave the competition. At the end of ten weeks there is one winner.

    The program started in 2010, and nobody{#blank#}2{#/blank#} it to be so popular. People really enjoyed watching the baking and the good atmosphere on the show. The people in the show were very friendly to each other. This was very different from other TV show. Some people think the show is rather British, with a good sense of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and friendly people. Audiences also enjoyed learning how to make different {#blank#}4{#/blank#}of cakes , biscuits and bread.

    This year there were some changes in the show and even some new judges, but the show is as popular as before.

    The champions of the Earth Awards (地球卫士奖) is the United Nations' highest environmental honor. On Dec 5th, 2017, it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to China's Saihanba.

    Saihanba is a vast forest{#blank#}2{#/blank#} in Chengde, Hebei. In Mongolian, its name means “beautiful highland”, and rightly so: across the area{#blank#}3{#/blank#} forests and grasslands are around crystal-clear lakes.

    Around the 10th century, Saihanba became a{#blank#}4{#/blank#} hunting ground. During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Emperor Kangxi liked Saihanba so much and he once killed 318 rabbits in a single day.

    In 1860, because of a shortage of money, the land {#blank#}5{#/blank#}to the public. In the following years, logging (砍伐) and wildfires destroyed the forest and grassland. By the 1950s, Saihanba had become a barren (荒芜的) land.

    Hard work and efforts{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a national forest in Saihanba started in the 1960s. In 1961, a group of six scientists traveled through Saihanba and studied the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of growing trees there.

    They finally found one tree standing alone in the vast land, which {#blank#}8{#/blank#}encouraged them. If one tree could survive there, so could millions of others.

    About 56 years later, after overcoming the countless difficulties of planting trees in a very cold place, the barren land is now a vast forest. Today, Saihanba is known as a natural shield (防护){#blank#}9{#/blank#} sandstorms. It is very important for Beijing's water and air{#blank#}10{#/blank#}
