Today young people like{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to pop songs and pop music. There are many pop{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and singing groups ,like Back Street Boys, Secret Garden, West Life{#blank#}3{#/blank#} so on .They are foreign (外国的）singers. There are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} many famous singing groups and pop singers in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.People like them very much. Many young people want to be pop {#blank#}6{#/blank#} .They think it will be a very good life. In fact,(实际上）most pop stars live a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} life. They spend (花费）most of their{#blank#}8{#/blank#}  on tour, and they travel{#blank#}9{#/blank#} one city to another and sing for people. Although (尽管）it can be{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  ,it can also be tired out.

    At the present time, more and more people love travelling. It's a very good w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} of getting to know new people and cultures and acquiring（获得）experiences. It helps travellers g{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a lot. Travel can make our minds become much w{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    But travel does more than all that. It can also make us more creative. In recent years, some professors have been doing r{#blank#}4{#/blank#} on what many people have already learned from travel experiences. They believe that spending time a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} has affected people's mind. For example, they found that the students who lived in foreign countries for a longer period were better at s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} problems creatively than those who did not. If you stay in the same place, you can't experience new sights, new smells, new sounds and new cultures. All these can w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} up your mind and make it more active . H{#blank#}8{#/blank#} , that doesn't mean the more places you've been, the more creative you'll become. Another group of professors have been doings{#blank#}9{#/blank#} research. They found the people who often travelled from one place to another didn't have enough time to immerse（使……沉浸）t{#blank#}10{#/blank#} in a new place and a new culture. They weren't as creative as the people who spent the time really getting to know a place. You have to interact with the places you go to and then you can benefit from it.

The user plays the game the way he or she would play any video game, but as the user progresses, he or she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（燃烧）actual calories（卡路里）.

    As the user walks throughout the day, the app {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（记录）how much ground the user has covered. The user receives a clue (提示) that is part of a story, and is told that he or she must walk a certain number of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（分钟）to move to the next level. Once that {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（任务）has been completed, the next part of the story will be seen. Users of this app will be{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（鼓励）to take different routes in order to earn more points.
