    In recent years, learning Chinese{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) popular among people around the world. Last month, I received an email from my cousin Jack in Canada. He said he was enthusiastic{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Chinese, and asked me to find him some books{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(intend) for Chinese beginners. I was very pleased to do{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a favor.

I know that you are now having trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(communicate)with others, and you may often feel lonely. That's {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you are new here and people don't know about you. But I think you can overcome the difficulty if you can follow the advice below.

    First, you should attach great{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (important) to taking an active part in the discussions and show our own opinions about the matters, and at the same time, learn to listen to other people's views {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (careful). Second, you should learn about your classmates' likes and dislikes,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}can make you get familiar with them. Only in this way can you get to know more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (difference)people and show them that you are just as friendly. Last but not least, I'm always here ready to help. We can take part in some {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (activity)together and I can introduce you to others.

    There's no need{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (worry)too much, people will know you more very soon and will like to make friends {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you if you can do as the above. Just remember, “God helps those who help themselves.”

    A critical factor "that plays a part in people's susceptibility(敏感性)to colds is age. In the past four years, the University of the Michigan School of Public Health {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do)a study, revealing some general ru1es for the public. It says that babies are most likely {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (catch)a cold. Babies will catch more than six colds during their first year {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average. Besides, boys have more colds than girls when they are under the age of three. When they grow older than three years old, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is easier for girls to catch colds than boys. Girls might catch three colds, while boys catch two {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (annual).

    Generally speaking, the incidents of colds continue to decline while people are growing older. Elderly people who are in good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (healthy)have as few as one or two colds every year. One exception is found among people in their {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (twenty), especially women, who show a rise in cold infections. This is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people in this age group have young babies to bring up. Adults who delay {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have)children until they are more than thirty experience {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same sudden increase in cold infections.

    China is famous for its bewildering and oftentimes confusing highway interchanges (立体交叉道), but the Qianchun interchange in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} mountainous province of Guizhou is the only one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} actually looks like a giant rollercoaster for cars and trucks.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (Construct)on the Qianchun Interchange began in 2009, but the massive road knot was only completed last year. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (consist)of 18 different ramps, in 8 directions, on five different layers, with the highest one {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (stand)37 meters above ground. Like the nearby Huangjuewan Overpass, in Chongqing, this incredibly complex infrastructure project has been labelled a nightmare for {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (motorist) trying to find their way around.

    People on social media pointed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} that GPS systems would be confused by the five different layers of road, but officials claims that the directions and exits on the interchange are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (clear)marked and that even if you make mistakes, it's always easy to turn around. Still, just looking at this thing leaves me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (confuse).I can't imagine {#blank#}10{#/blank#} having to find my way around it must be like.
