People often don' t do what they really want to for fear  of failure. You don't apply for a job {#blank#}1{#/blank#}case you don't get it. You don't perform at the school concert b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} others might laugh at you. A lack of confidence can l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to a lot of suffering.

    The key to o{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this problem is to believe in yourself. This might be{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(容易)said than done, but there are many w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} to help you do this. Talk about your problem with a friend or look{#blank#}7{#/blank#} advice on the Internet. Imagine yourself being {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(成功）and practice breathing techniques to keep you calm when you get nervous. And the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} important thing is: believe you can do it. When you've {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (学会）to do that, you are well on your way.

    Here's a message {#blank#}1{#/blank#} needs to be kept in mind by every mom and dad. You love your kids not because o {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they do, but because of who they are.

    In fact, raising a child is just like training a dog. You reward your children because of their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (succeed) or progress they made.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (similar), a circus trainer gives a dog some food every time it  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (jump) through a hoop(圈).

    The dog isn't loved for itself, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} for its actions.

    Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the popular talk show host, has a new book for children {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (title) “Why Do You Love Me?” Part of the story includes a mother {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (explain) to her son that it is not what he does that makes her love him—she loves him because he is unique and he is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (she) son.

    Every mom, dad and grandparent needs to memorize the words of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} popular song: “I love you most of all because you're you.”

    Every individual is a member of a group called the community, and it is the duty of every citizen {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ask what he can do for his community. A good citizen {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(相信) that he should serve the community and not the community serve h{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. As students, there are many ways in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you can serve the community. Above all, however, you have to acquire a certain amount of skill and experience b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} you can be of service to others. Your school has lots of{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(活动) which prepare you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} good citizenship. Many school societies train students to become good citizens who later p{#blank#}8{#/blank#} in volunteer work and serve the public in t{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of need. If you serve your community, you will grow {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to be a good citizen with a strong sense of responsibility.

    When I was a university student, I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(attract) by the Chinese. So I got a job as a teacher in Wuhan three years ago.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) back, I realize it was the students I. met in the first year and Chinese university life in general{#blank#}3{#/blank#}gave me the deepest impression.

    During my school days, I would rarely give up my spare time to any activity {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(connect) with study. Unless exams were approaching, my weekends were devoted to having fun or perhaps a part-time job. My Chinese students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the other hand, seemed to spend their entire waking hours studying. I understand that competition in Chinese universities is extremely fierce. Nonetheless, their energy and motivation put{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(I) to shame.

    My first year in China was also my first year as a teacher. It was both challenging{#blank#}7{#/blank#}rewarding. One thing I know for certain is that my year in Wuhan changed me for the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(good). Thanks to the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(polite) and warmth of Chinese students, I overcame my fear of speaking in public and became more self-confident. Most{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(important), I met dozens of nice people and made many excellent friends.

    Cultural TV programs have experienced {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  come-back at the start of the Chinese New Year. A new program, Readers, has become a hit. Broadcast on China Central Television (CCTV) over the weekend, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}is bringing fresh{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(enthusiastic) for literature in China. Readers sets out to interpret the power and values behind {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tradition) Chinese culture.

    The weekly talk show, produced and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(host) by famous TV personality Dong Qing, invites people from all {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(walk) of life to read poems, essays and books they like or wrote. Without any amazing stage design, Readers has brought the almost-lost habit of reading aloud back into the public spotlight, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(make) the audience bathe in the beauty of language. The participants also {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(active) share stories from their own life explaining reasons {#blank#}9{#/blank#}particular pieces touched their hearts or shaped their lives. In the show, poems can{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(adapt)into songs. Since its broadcast, it has been considered as "a breath of fresh air” among various shows in China.

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has praised a group of middle school students for their efforts in satellite design. He said he was pleased with their curiosity and bravery in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (science) exploration. The president also wished the teachers and students in Bayi School {#blank#}2{#/blank#} happy new year.

    Xi made the praise in a letter {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) to the students in Beijing's Bayi School on Saturday. A small satellite designed and developed by them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (send) into space last Wednesday at Taiyuan Satellite Launch (发射) Center {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it was designed to operate in orbit (轨道) for 180 days.

    Three months ago, Xi returned to his high school, to visit a laboratory and talk to teachers and students {#blank#}6{#/blank#} were designing the small satellite. The president said he was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (extreme) glad to know that the satellite designed by the students would be launched and called on them to become {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (build) of the country. Xi warmly encouraged the students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (study) science and contribute to the development of China. He hoped that the students would keep hungry for knowledge and develop {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) national spirit.
