Life is filled with regrets(遗憾). Anyone around you will have no difficulty {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tell)his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make)better choices.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}can we do to avoid future regrets?

    Make better plans. The{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(early), the better. You will know that comes first and what comes last. You'll also know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If changed happen, you can have more time to deal with them.

    Live a more active life. More outdoor{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(active) can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone's face. Learn to say “sorry” and don't be angry {#blank#}6{#/blank#}others.

    Find the right friend. When you get into trouble, ask {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(other) for help. That little help may get you good results.

    It's{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(general) believed that everybody fails, even the greatest person failed. So we must consider failure as{#blank#}9{#/blank#}chance to learn and improve ourselves.

    Life is good. We don't have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}work better when we have the chance to do so.

    I once found that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble.

    I was in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (nine) grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (sit) next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. Finally I found that she was trying to ask me {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I had an extra pen. She showed me that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (her) was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I put it on her desk.

    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ask) me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about how important it was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stand) on my own two {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (foot) and be responsible for my own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact {#blank#}8{#/blank#}when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (serious) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me {#blank#}10{#/blank#}all those things.

    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test.

    As the effects of global warming, rising seas and natural disasters become more serious {#blank#}1{#/blank#} before, some local communities are taking action. Among them is one community in Florida {#blank#}2{#/blank#} local people and government officials are proving successful in protecting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (coast) cities from the dangers of rising sea levels.

    The community has studied how much sea levels will rise and has suggested {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (way) to address the problem. It has persuaded the state government {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ban) new developments on land near the coastline and recommended building sand dunes (沙丘) along beaches. Kristin Jacobs, one of the group's founders, decided to take action in 2008 after it became {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (gradual) clear that her state's 27 water authorities couldn't agree on joint (联合的) action.

    While some Florida government officials doubt whether the climate will become hotter or {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cold), the people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (live) in these locations are certain of the need to protect their communities.

    At present, coming up with ways to fight against the effects of climate change under an limited budget {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) a pressing concern. Only time will tell whether these coastal communities will succeed in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} end.

    People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} realizing that they're paying for it by giving up plenty of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (target) messages.

    Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they're paying for Facebook, because people don't really know what their personal details are worth.

    The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules.  Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook -- you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules {#blank#}4{#/blank#} many things -- your city, your photo, your friends' names -- were set, by default(默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

    According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a “{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (satisfying) experience.”

    Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they are connecting with their friends online?

    So far the privacy issue {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (land) Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.  He also urged the Commission to set regulations for social-networking sites.

    I suspect that whatever Facebook has done {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (invade) our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I'm considering {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cancel) my account.  Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That is too high a price to pay.

    On our way to the house，it was raining {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hard that we couldn't help wondering how long it would take {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （get）there. It was in the middle of Pearl City.

    We were first greeted with the barking by a pack {#blank#}3{#/blank#} dogs, seven to be exact. They were well trained by their masters {#blank#}4{#/blank#} had great experience with caring for these animals. Our hosts shared many of their experiences and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（recommend）wonderful places to eat, shop, and visit. For breakfast, we were able to eat papaya（木瓜）and other fruits from their trees in the backyard.

    When they were free from work, they invited us to local events and let us know of an interesting {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（compete）to watch，together with the story behind it. They also shared with us many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（tradition）stories about Hawaii that were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （huge）popular with tourists. On the last day of our week-long stay，we {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（invite）to attend a private concert on a beautiful farm on the North Shore under the stars，{#blank#}10{#/blank#} （listen）to musicians and meeting interesting locals.

    Ahead of this year's London Book Fair in March, media reported a rise in interest in translated works among British readers. For translator Anna Holmwood, this signals the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (arrive) of a new era.

    "This is a big moment for Chinese fiction abroad," says Holmwood, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has translated Chinese literature for almost a decade.

    Her translation work, Legends of the Condor Heroes, a fantasy novel written by Jin Yong, and Liu Cixin's science-fiction book, The Three Body Problem, are shown in a Nielsen report {#blank#}3{#/blank#} examples of two of the most popular Chinese fiction works in Britain in 2018.

    "Languages in growing demand include Chinese and Arabic." according to the Nielsen report. It found that, against the commonly {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) "not more than 3 percent rule" of translated literature's presence in the English-language book markets, the number for 2018 was 5.63 percent in Britain {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the total annual sales was worth $27.1 million.

    Charlotte Collins, translator and co-chair of the British Translators Association, says: "As we can see, this proportion (比率) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (double) in recent years... This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (real) exciting news."

    The Guardian quotes (引用) Fiammetta Rocco, administrator of the Man Booker International Prize, "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (read) fiction is one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) ways of putting ourselves in other people's shoes. The rise in sales of translated fiction {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) how hungry British readers are for terrific writing from other countries."
