Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (advantage). For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study {#blank#}2{#/blank#}groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) very poor. I had{#blank#}4{#/blank#}really hard time with it. Once in class, the teachers asked{#blank#}5{#/blank#}to discuss it with each other, but I was very shy, I could not do it like what they told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(brave). Then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(deal) with the problems. After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed out at all. At last, I finished my homework {#blank#}8{#/blank#}myself for the first time. How {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(excite) I was!

    At least thirty times Bobby had tried to climb the snowy mountain, but he Because of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(study) in groups, I am not worried about physics any more. With my classmates' help, I get more confidence. It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways.

    While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of (dry) tea each year.

    Tea only made its way to England in large {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(quantity) in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sell) more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.

    There are many varieties of tea. They all come from the plant Camellia sinensis (茶树), and are{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(simple) processed in different ways. Black tea mixtures are still{#blank#}4{#/blank#}most common type drunk in the UK. The reason why black tea is dark in colour is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. People usually serve {#blank#}6{#/blank#}with milk or lemon.

    You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pour) into the best china cups with saucers for visitors, but behind closed doors it is likely to be served in a tall cup, and made with a tea bag.

    Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the decrease. Tea sales {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) by 6% in 2014 alone.

    Still, what goes around comes around; it's sure{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(become) fashionable again.

    Why do different people like different colors? The answer depends largely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} cultural values. To the Egyptians, green is a color {#blank#}2{#/blank#} stands for the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) against evils.

    People's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(choose) of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally {#blank#}6{#/blank#} physically. When{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) in green environment, people have fewer stomach aches. Red can make a person's blood pressure{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rise) and increase people's appetite. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. And many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(easy) catches a person's eye. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. Therefore,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} you want to eat less, eating from blue plates can help.

    I believe doing good deeds can bring me happiness. I've been making breastpins (胸针) and gifting them to everyone possible and if you ask me why I do it, it's because {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the joy which just bursts forth from my inner heart. The smile that lights up at the sight of the breastpin is worth anything you'd wish for and it goes much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (far). From that moment on, there's a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (connect) between gifting breastpins and happiness.

    We exchange warm hugs, smiles and a million “thank you”. This hobby that has so at- traded me has opened my heart and brought me out of my cocoon (茧). Now, I don't mind {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (start) a conversation with a stranger, wishing him or her well and gifting a breastpin because I know that this little piece of art will do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) magic of breaking all barriers. We unite and share many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (story). And next time our paths cross, we greet {#blank#}7{#/blank#} smile, which is enough {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brighten) the day.

    This morning, I received {#blank#}9{#/blank#} heart-warming post on Instagram (照片墙) from a friend who I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) a blue and white spotted breastpin before. She shared it along with the shells collected from the beach. She loved sea shells and the colors blue and white. So, here's why I make breastpins.
