Paul Lucas can often be seen walking around the city of San Francisco. Sometimes people are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (surprise) to see him walking without any shoes or socks,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Lucas doesn't mind at all. He likes to walk barefoot, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} do 640 other members of Dirty Sole Society, the club that Lucas {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (start) years ago. Lucas' idea for this is to encourage others to live {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (free)－free of shoes.

    According to Lucas, the barefoot life has many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (advantage). The most important is simply that it feels good. He also says that walking barefoot allows you to experience the world directly by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (touch) it with your feet. In addition, the feet do not smell so much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they stay dry,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) it hard for bacteria(细菌)  to grow. And, of course, walking barefoot keeps your feet in good shape, so it's actually {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (healthy) than wearing shoes.

    A graduation speech given by Chief Justice John Roberts became a talking point after The Washington Post published it.

    Roberts {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(address)his son's ninth grade graduating class. He advised the young graduates{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take)life's setbacks in their stride(从容地). But he did not wish{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they)good luck.

    “Now, the speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wish) to you. I will not do that, and I will tell you why,” Roberts said.

    “From time to time, in the years to come, I hope you will be treated {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(unfair), so that you will come to know the value of justice. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time, so that you don't take friends {#blank#}6{#/blank#}granted. I wish you bad luck again, from time to time, so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand your success is not completely deserved and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the failure of others is not completely deserved either.”

    He continued, “I hope you{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(ignore), so you know the importance of listening to others{#blank#}9{#/blank#}I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion.”

    In the end, each graduate received a pocket-size copy of the Constitution {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sign) by Roberts.

    It is quite clear that air planes provide {#blank#}1{#/blank#}efficient and convenient way to travel. Thanks to planes, the world we live in has become a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(small) place. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} getting to somewhere by air can cause a lot of stress for people sometimes.

    There are many reasons {#blank#}4{#/blank#} an unpleasant journey, such as long lines at the airport or screaming kids who seat {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(them) behind you. However, recent {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（study) conducted by US travel platform Expedia have found that more than half of the people{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(survey) say what annoys them most are the passengers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} continually kick, bump or grab airplane seats.

    Why do they do that? Are they bored, nervous or just {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(complete) unaware? There is no sure answer to that question, it seems. According to Expedia, this behavior is likely{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(remain) one of the most common and hated parts of travelling by air.

    A month ago, Gary, a university student, was interviewed by two famous{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(company). Unfortunately, he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(refuse). The reason is that he has no work experience. As we all know, most young people who have just{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(graduate) from university and that they, too, meet{#blank#}4{#/blank#} same problem. I think students should make a good understanding of companies {#blank#}5{#/blank#}big companies are afraid that new employees without experience are not likely to do the job well. So in order to win the employers' trust and to make {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) find good jobs easily, university graduates should do some part-time jobs{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(get) rich work experience before graduating. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the same time they have to learn how to get along well with others. By {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (do) this they can put their knowledge into social practice and can touch society earlier. I am sure that part-time jobs can make the graduates be qualified for many well-paid jobs {#blank#}10{#/blank#}they desire.
