    Red, green, blue, black and white are basic(基本的) colours.

    The world is colourful(多彩的). The sea is blue. The grass is green. Most countries in the world like green because it's a symbol(象征) of life(生命)，but people from England and Japan don't like it. Red is a popular(流行的) colour in China, but in Thailand(泰国)，it is bad to write names in red ink(墨水). It means someone is dead(死亡的). In Australia, people think the black cat can bring them good luck, but in America, people think the white cat is a lucky cat.

    My name is Bill. I 1 in Sun Junior High School. There are many 2 in my school. In the front of my school is the 3 building. It's a building for teachers. Behind it is the library building. It's my favorite place, 4 I like reading. After school, I always read books or do my homework there. 5 is the classroom building? It's next 6 the library. Behind the library is a dinning hall. There are different 7 of food like hamburgers, bread and vegetables. If students want to have lunch there, they 8 pay(付款) 50 yuan a week. There is a gym in my school, too. It's behind the classroom building. My friends and I like playing games there. I 9 like the teachers in my school. They are very kind. They often take us out to 10 pictures or watch movies. We always have a good time.

    Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.

    A few bad nights are enough to make a person look especially "more ugly", their sleep experiments show.

    The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.

    A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hour every night for two nights in a row. The researchers took make—up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.

    Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"

    The strangers were good at judging whether the person they were looking at was tired, and if he was sleepy, his attractiveness score would be low.

    The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.

    Dr Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said: "Judgment of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."

As you walk down the street, an object falls from a tall building and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you. Who should be responsible for this? Or maybe you try to help someone in danger, but you accidentally hurt the person. Will you get in trouble for this? China's Civil Code(《民法典》) will give you the  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

On May 28, the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) agreed China's first-ever Civil Code. With 1,260 articles, it is a collection of laws that is about personal issues, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}property (物权), marriage, family, personality rights, and inheritances (继承). It's like an encyclopedia (百科全书) for social life.

China does have laws that cover these issues. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , all kinds of these laws are not unified. The Civil Code gathers them into one unified document and makes improvements. With the Civil Code, China hopes to set up a country under the rule of law with {#blank#}5{#/blank#} protection for civil rights.

One special thing about the code is the part about individual (个人的) rights. It's a major innovation (创新) to form the individual rights into one part alone. This part includes laws{#blank#}6{#/blank#} relate to one's body, health, name, image (肖像), and fame.

Some of the laws in this part deal with how new technology is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}.For example, people who use AI face swap (调换) tools to make videos may go against {#blank#}8{#/blank#} image rights. The laws also provide data protection rights relating to possible data leaks by tech companies.

As we know, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were several attempts to draft (起草) a civil code in 1954, 1962, 1979 and 2001. But the conditions {#blank#}9{#/blank#} not good enough. In 2015, China started to work on the present code and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it after 5 years. This year, the code took effect on Jan. 1.

Imagine （想象） walking into a movie theater without being greeted by the smell of popcorn. It's hard to believe, isn't it? For many people, popcorn goes hand in hand with movies. They can't have one without the other. But 1  did this happen?

The 2  between the two is younger than you may think. In the mid-1800s, popcorn was already a popular snack in America. Vendors sold it on the 3  . People, especially kids, loved this street food. In the early 1900s, vendors started to sell popcorn 4  movie theaters.

However, theater owners didn't like popcorn. They believed it would make the experience of watching a movie 5  enjoyable. Eating it would make too much noise during the silent movies.

Later, when movies added sound, the 6  noise problem went away. More and more people went to the movies. Some of them even secretly（秘密地） took popcorn into the theaters. Later, more movie theaters 7  . Some of them agreed people to eat popcorn while they were watching movies.

In the 1930s, the theater owners found that people didn't need to buy popcorn from street vendors. Because popcorn was 8  to make, they could make and sell it themselves. They did that and the smell of popcorn drew more people to their theaters. The 9  made a lot of money, and people enjoyed themselves at the movies.

Today, popcorn is still an important part of the movie-going experience. Roles, a man who once ate three bags of popcorn, said, "People come to theaters sometimes just for the 10 . They don't even care what is playing!"
