Traditional Chinese culture places much emphasis (重视) on food. Considered to be an important part of each day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(eat) is far beyond simply meeting a need. However, people are living in fast-paced society now, so they hardly have time to enjoy their food. They need fast food. That is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} China's fast-food market expands.

    A foreign fast-food restaurant {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) KFC arrived in China first, quickly followed by {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（other ）such as Pizza Hut and McDonald's. With{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the (develop) of China, foreign fast-food chains are realizing high-speed{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(grow) in China. However, these “junk foods” have long been criticized by health experts because {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (their) can't provide balanced nutrition(营养). The experts also show that some foreign fast food contains a food coloring, Sudan I, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}can cause cancer.

    In fact, China has many of its own traditional fast-food dishes. Among them, dumplings, soybean milk and noodles {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) the most popular. Compared with foreign fast food, those traditional ones are healthier. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}many Chinese still enjoy the special taste and the good environment in the foreign fast-food chains even though there exist some potential（潜在的）risks.

    In 1955, I got a train ticket to visit my relatives in Cleveland. On my return trip, I met {#blank#}1{#/blank#} handsome soldier. He asked if he could look at the train timetable {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was held in my hand and then if he could sit next to me so that we could chat. I agreed and invited him to share the lunch my aunt {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pack) for me before leaving. We talked all the way. Finally, we exchanged {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (address) and he said he would contact me.

    After a week, I still didn't receive a letter {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him and began to think he'd forgotten about me. On Saturday, the phone rang and a familiar voice asked if I would like to go out together. We ended up in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (see) On the Waterfront at the Kallet Theatre. We had a more dates during his Army leave, and then he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (send) to go overseas. For the next two years, we kept in touch with each other by letter.

    In 1957, we got married. We've been together for more than 60 years, raising three daughters who now have daughters of{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) own. Before taking my trip to Cleveland years ago, I was warned never{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (speak) to strangers on a train. I'm {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (certain) glad I didn't listen.

    Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Halfway through his talk, the speaker stopped and decided {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (create) a group activity. He went around the hall and gave each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his or her name on the balloon {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) a marker pen. Then all the balloons were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (collect) and put in another room.

    The speaker then led the group to the room full of balloons and asked them to find the balloon {#blank#}4{#/blank#} had their name written on, within five minutes. Everyone was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hurried) searching for their name, bumping into each other, pushing each other around. It was chaos. At the end of the five minutes no one could find {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (them) own balloon.

    Now each person was asked to randomly collect {#blank#}7{#/blank#} balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within two minutes everyone {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) their own balloon. When everyone quieted down, the speaker began to talk, saying that this is exactly what was happening in our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (life)．Everyone is hurriedly looking for happiness, and not knowing where it is.

    Our happiness sometimes lies in the happiness of other people. Give them happiness {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will get your own happiness.

    My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong {#blank#}1{#/blank#} August 15, 2011. He had dreamed about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (visit) it since his boyhood and it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) the first time that he had been there. The following was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he had seen.

    Arriving there, he was happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (see) its beautiful scenery and tall buildings. It is said that Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (face) there. People in Hong Kong were easygoing and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (friend). To {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（he）surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} there were many people waiting in line for the next train at the subway station, they tried to talk in a low voice in order not to disturb(打扰) others. Chinese and English are their official(官方的) languages. English is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Since July 2019, China's online food-delivery platform Eleme {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (carry) out a new service of picking up garbage from its users in Shanghai.

    The service comes after {#blank#}2{#/blank#} recently-released regulation on waste management in Shanghai. Individuals {#blank#}3{#/blank#} throw away their garbage without being sorted out can be fined up to 200 yuan, while companies and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (organize) can face fines up to 50,000 yuan.

    The trash takeaway service requires residents to sort {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) own garbage before it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pick) up by workers from Eleme, who will ensure the waste is disposed of in the correct garbage bins.

    It's obvious that this service is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (convenience) to the old, especially to the disabled customers. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, many netizens on Sina Weibo don't think Eleme is providing a wonderful service, saying it just wants {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) money. They think 12 yuan for an order is too much. Besides, many more people doubt if these collectors will wash their hands after dealing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the trash.
