It is really sad news for Guinness World Records. Tiffany Two, the holder of the  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(old) cat record, has passed away in hersleep at{#blank#}2{#/blank#} age of 27 years, 2months and 20 days.

        Born on March 13, 1988 in San Diego, California,Tiffany Two {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(buy) by herowner, Sharon Voorhees, from a local pet shop. At that time, the cat was onlysix  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(week) old. Sharon named her TiffanyTwo in memory of the cat she once{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(own) In the 1970s.

        In fact,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} Tiffany Two celebrated her 27^thbirthday back in March, she had lived the equivalent (等量) of 125 human years.

        Despite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} unbelievable age, Tiffany Two was reported tohave good sight and hearing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (recent). Tiffany Two only had minor{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ill) such as high blood pressure, and Sharondescribed her as “strong and still able to go up and down stairs”.

        “She's not afraid  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (play) with anyone or any animal.She walks right past the dogs. She's very active!” Sharon explained.

    Our experience at the Children's Medical Care Center was eye-opening. We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(treat). We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. The children, though {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(suffer) such great pains, were so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them than we {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(expect).

    One day, an incident deeply touched us. A girl suggested that she {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) us how to fold paper. She taught us with great patience, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(explain) each step clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended to know nothing about it. We followed her, step by step, doing everything {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she told us. Finally, when we finished our work {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(succeed), she gave each of us a big hug. We could see the pride on her face. Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. And it was not until then {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.

    Many stories happened at the center. It was really a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(value) experience to us all, enriching our life {#blank#}10{#/blank#}a positive way.

    Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy), as in “a red letter day. This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably based on church customs. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} almost six hundred years, church calendars have been marked with red to indicate special holy {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (day).

The expression “a red-letter day” is often heard in daily life. A red-letter day is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} day that people are feeling quite happy. You might tell your friends that yesterday was a red-letter day because you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (win) some money in the state lottery (彩票).

    “Rolling a red carpet” is another {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (common) heard expression, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} represents a warm welcome. A city may “roll a red carpet” for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) baseball team when the team arrives home after winning the championship.

    Red is also used in some expressions that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) not happy. “Red-handed” is an example. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (take) cookies out of the cookie jar.

    Should naps(小睡) actually {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your body. But naps can actually be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} double-edged sword because while we're awake during the day, we're building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when you try to fall asleep at night, you'll fall asleep quickly and then you'll stay asleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (refresh).

    So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep soundly throughout the night. So the advice would be if you don't struggle with your sleep and you can nap{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (regular), then naps are just fine.

    But if you do find it difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fall) asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.

    The ideal nap depends on {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep actually give you different types of brain and body  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (benefit).

    When HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices,  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(release) on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a tech power, but also shows respect for classical Chinese culture by {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(name) the system "Hongmeng" in Chinese.

    Besides "Hongmeng; Huawei has also registered many of its  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(product) under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese mythology. For example, the company's server chip is called "Kunpeng", a mythical creature  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}changed from a fish into a giant bird.

    In fact, Huawei is not alone in using  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tradition) culture for modem enterprises. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.(base) on the well-known work of classical Chinese mythology The Investiture of the Gods, Ne Zha is shown as a rebellious underdog, who has to overcome hardship and his dark fate to become a hero,  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(like) his attractive heroic character in previous cinematic works.

    As Global Times put {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, "ancient mythology has the power to stimulate contemporary imagination in young people". After all, imagination is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}beginning of creation.

The distance between ancient Rome and ancient China was about 4,000 miles by land. It was a very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (danger) trip with deserts and mountains. The Silk Road was a nickname for any route {#blank#}2{#/blank#} any trader took from China to Rome.

For a very long time, the ancient Romans did not know who was making the wonderful cloth {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) silk. They tried to find the traders as they came into villages to trade other goods for silk, but the traders {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hide) from the Romans. Therefore, they had to trade for it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (themself). The trading along the Silk Road was a relay system. One trader would travel for a while, stop and trade, and return home. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} next traveler would continue. And so it went. But {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (actual) no trader made the whole trip. It was too risky.

As the years went by, a civilization of sorts grew up along the Silk Road. Temples appeared. There were even cities built on the rare oasis (绿洲). It was never easy{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (travel) by land from China {#blank#}9{#/blank#}Rome, but it was worth it. Rome traded gold for China's silk and spices. But {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(many) things traveled the Silk Road than traders and goods. Ideas that changed the world traveled along the Silk Road as well.
