Tower bridge is one of London's most striking attractions that you shouldn't miss when{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（visit）the capital. This extremely attractive and impressive piece of Victorian architecture dates back to the late 1880s, and until the mid -1970s the main bridge{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (operate) by a steam engine.

    Today tower bridge is a splendid landmark typical of London, surrounded by cafes and bars{#blank#}3{#/blank#} tourists and locals alike can sit and enjoy the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (beauty ) bridge , which

    looks like two small castles hovering over the Thames, just like something out of a fairy tale.

    It is free to admire Tower Bridge and walk on it at any time; it's striking to look at during the day and magical when{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (light ) up at night, so don't miss out on this wonderful scene !

    If you would like{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(step) inside the towers of the famous bridge , you can book Tower Bridge Exhibition tickets. During the exhibition , you can visit the famed engine rooms and impressive towers and find{#blank#}7{#/blank#} how the bridge came into{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(exist) through the digital displays and animations(动画片). You can also pay {#blank#}9{#/blank#}visit to the glass room of Tower Bridge on the high-level walkways. There {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) even yoga classes available on the glass floor of Tower Bridge.

    If you study abroad, it's necessary to mix with the locals. This allows you{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(test) your language skills and find out more about the local culture. Having lived abroad for three years, I'm able to put forward a list of tips to help you make friends in a foreign country.

    Firstly, say yes to everything within reason. Obviously, if you don't feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ease, you can choose not to do anything. However, don't put off trying something new. The group of students from your class who invite you out for a coffee might end up {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) your friends for life!

    Secondly, develop a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entire) new hobby. Join a dance class, a walking club or learn to cook the local food—the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(possibility) are endless!

    Thirdly, get out of the house! Hours {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(spend) on the computer chatting with your family back at home surely make you even homesick. Just get out and explore the exciting place you live in.

    Lastly, be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(confidence) when you are surrounded by people speaking {#blank#}8{#/blank#} unfamiliar language. Even if you may find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} difficult to involve yourself in conversations, you should try to make your voice heard. Once you open your mouth and begin to speak, it's likely {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will find everyone wants to know more about you.

    If you go out to the fields at night in spring or summer, you can hear frogs singing{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy) here and there. It seems as if they were performing a field group singing.

    The frog is a good and useful creature that benefits human beings. They can catch fast-moving{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (insect). Each frog eats a large number of pests ( 害 虫 ) that are harmful to crops. This little creature is regarded {#blank#}3{#/blank#} “the natural enemy of pests”.

    But now frogs{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) fewer and fewer. This is because they are killed and put{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the table as a delicious dish by their chief enemy, human beings. It is a shameless and cruel act, isn't it?

    The cause that is{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (responsibility) for the rapid reduction of frogs is that farmers use insect killer to kill pests and frogs get killed as a result of drinking poisoned water while{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (eat) poison-killed insects.

    Something must be done as soon as possible {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(save) frogs. If we don't punish those {#blank#}9{#/blank#}sell and kill frogs to make money, then one day all of us{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (punish) by nature for failing to keep them.

    "Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small." "Nothing is softer and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(flexible) than water, yet nothing can resist it."

    These are the food for thought {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (serve) to Tube passengers at Oval station in south London. It's been 14 years since customer services manager Anthony Gentles {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inspire) to brighten up the "blank faces" of travelers with daily {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wise) from his favorite book, Tao Te Ching. Every day he wrote one quote on the board {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (him). Mr. Gentles said offering quotes from ancient China was his way of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (try) to make people feel more welcome as they braved the Underground.

    Thousands of quotes later, Mr Gentles' favorite message remains the first one he wrote: "A journey of a thousand miles begins {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a single step". "Because it's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fundamental) true," he said. "No matter {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you live your life, regardless of your situation, you have to take the first step."

    Since 2007, the baton(接力棒) has been taken on by his colleague Glen Sutherland, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} posts on the station information board have set off a wave of enthusiasm to copy the practice across the capital.

    Many people wonder if there is any {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (connect) between our senses and our health. Scientists observe that making the most of our senses when we are young can keep us healthy later on in life.

    Why do we feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (anxiety) or tired? One study shows that {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (approximate) 90% of our time is spent watching television or using computers. It is added that while our sense of sight is used too much, our {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sense) of touch and smell have been ignored.

    People often ask {#blank#}5{#/blank#} or not we should develop all our senses. The answer is yes. Experts suggest that we do the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (follow) things more often. While having dinner, listen to some {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (enjoy) music rather than watch television. While relaxing at home, have some flowers next to you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} smell nice. Before going to bed, turn the lights {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. While sleeping, wear a nightshirt that is pleasant to touch—it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) us sleep well.
