There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界){#blank#}1{#/blank#}a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As{#blank#}5{#/blank#}result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) full of fat and salt; by{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is not good for the health.

    There was a man who had four sons. He hoped his sons could learn not to judge things too quickly. So he gave them a task in turn,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) them to go to see a pear tree at a distance{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(separate).

    The first son set out in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}young)in autumn.

    When all of them returned home, they were called together{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(describe) what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bend) and ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds(花蕾)and full of hope. The third son said it was full of flowers{#blank#}6{#/blank#}smelled so sweet and that he had{#blank#}7{#/blank#}seen such beautiful scenery. The last son disagreed{#blank#}8{#/blank#}all or them, saying it was filled with fruits, full of life and content.

    The man told his four sons that they were all correct, but they only saw the tree in{#blank#}9{#/blank#}season, He taught them that the value of a person could only be measure when all the seasons were over.

    If you give up in winter, you{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(miss) the hope of spring, the beauty of summer, and the harvest of autumn in your life.

    Our parakeet (长尾鹦鹉) Chip and Goldie, a stray tortoiseshell kitten we took in{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (grow) to be best friends, eating and playing together. I was a member{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a bird conservation organization at the time, so we often took care of injured {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bird). Goldie helped raise dozens of injured and orphaned native birds{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (act) as a watchful guardian. One day, it was Chip who needed Goldie's supervision. I had left a large bowl of pancake batter (面糊){#blank#}5{#/blank#} (cover) in the kitchen. But while I was out of the room, Chip climbed onto the bowl to have {#blank#}6{#/blank#} taste but soon fell in and sank{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (luck), Goldie was on hand and stuck her face in the bowl to fish Chip out. She cleaned his face and beak so he could breathe before running to alert me with a loud meow. I followed Goldie{#blank#}8{#/blank#} was also covered in batter, back into the kitchen {#blank#}9{#/blank#} found a battered budgie on the floor. After being washed, dried and warmed, Chip made a full {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (recover). Bowls were always covered in future and Goldie and Chip remained the best of friends.

    Visiting Xi'an was once my dream. It became a reality when I was admitted to a training course in China along with two other {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lady). Finally, the day arrived {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I landed at Xianyang International Airport in early August. As soon as I landed, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (feel) a change in the atmosphere. I saw people standing in queues {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wait) for their turn at the immigration desk. Afterwards, we were transported to the office in the International Exhibition Center. China had invited participants {#blank#}5{#/blank#} twenty-three developing countries to share digital television broadcasting techniques with them.

    In my 20 days in Xi'an, I got the opportunity to observe Chinese Culture closely, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} thus it left an unforgettable mark on me. Now, Xi'an is like my second home. Since I came back to Pakistan, I have been missing Xi'an {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad).

    My 20-day stay in Xi'an was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} great experience. It was a learning opportunity, and also a chance to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (broad) my understanding of diversity. I learned that despite differences of colors, heights, races and religions, all human beings {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tie) by the bond of humanity, and that the future of nations is global with development and peace.

    If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a lesson in sorting garbage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is now required that people should sort garbage into four categories recyclable, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (harm), dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fine) up to 200 yuan.

    More cities are introducing similar regulations, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(follow) the practice in Shanghai. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30% of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(participant) think they are adequately sorting their trash. It's partly because many people lack their willingness to sort their own waste. "It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} must to have a legal guarantee {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(promote) garbage sorting, said Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University.

    Apart from China, many other foreign countries also {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(introduce)garbage-sorting regulations in the past years. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. There is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fix) time for the disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result {#blank#}10{#/blank#} high fines and even jail time. Over 90%o of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment.
