Although he is a famous scientist, Yuan Longping {#blank#}1{#/blank#} himself a farmer. Indeed, his {#blank#}2{#/blank#}face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers. Now Yuan Longping is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests.

    You may find it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak. Unfortunately his father died,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the family even worse off. He grew more and more popular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the world. This character was a social {#blank#}7{#/blank#}but was loved for his optimism and determination.

    In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using {#blank#}8{#/blank#}“language” through physical distance, actions or posture. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries {#blank#}9{#/blank#}others closely and are more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}to touch them.

    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.

    When I was in the middle school, I founded a student club{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) "green planet" inspired by Chai Jing's documentary Under the Dome. At first people knew this club. As a result, we had only 15 members. And I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (laugh) at for being crazy. However, I didn't lose heart and I insisted. Every day, we club y members broadcast weather reports and PM 2.5 levels. We then published articles and pictures of the serious {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pollute) of the city on the school website. Meanwhile, my club also shares suggestions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} how to live a low carbon life on the school board, for example: take public transportation or car pool to school; do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) shopping and so on.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} time went by, more are what students showed great interest in our club. And luckily, I persuaded my headmaster to join us. After what seemed ages of waiting, the club was finally accepted by the majority of students in my school. An increasing number of students supported {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ours).

    Since then, we're worked together {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (promote) our club. And up to now, 85% of the students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (join) us and enjoyed the simple but eco-friendly life.

Such is Joy, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} responsible and persistent girl.

How to achieve a healthy lifestyle

    We all know that it is good to live a healthy life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) a healthy life means we should eat healthy food. Yet for many of us keeping a healthy lifestyle is very difficult. Part of this is because we are creatures of habit.

    So if you want {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) a healthy life, you have to change your habits that are not so healthy. In order to feel less tired, you have to replace your habit of sleeping only 4 hours a day with sleeping at least 6 hours a day.

    Now when most people decide to live a more healthy life, they try to deal with all of their habits all at once. Take losing weight {#blank#}3{#/blank#} example. They go on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} quite strict diet, and yes, they do lose weight, sometimes a lot of weight in a short period. But they do not really change their eating habits. So these people often notice they will gain the weight {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and more even, once they stop the diet.

    And the same holds true for these people. They start exercising in order to lose weight or to overcome a physical problem. Once the weight has been lost or the problem has been overcome, many stop {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (exercise). It has not become a habit.

    In fact, a lot of people don't look forward to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (create) these habits, such as eating breakfast, regular physical exercise and enough sleep. People complain these habits are so {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bore) and difficult to achieve that they have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (little) time to spend on things they like to do. So people should change their attitudes first. What if you thought of chocolate as a kind of boring food? What if you thought of physical exercise as something {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relax)?

    On the afternoon of 11 March 2011, Tetsu Nozaki watched helplessly as a wall of water {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(crash) into his boats in Onahama, a small fishing port on Japan's Pacific coast.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(spend) the past eight years rebuilding, the Fukushima fishing fleet is now confronting yet another menace — the increasing likelihood {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the nuclear plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), will dump huge quantities of radioactive water into the ocean.

    "We strongly oppose any plans to discharge the water into the sea," Nozaki, head of Fukushima prefecture's federation of fisheries cooperatives, told the Guardian.

    Currently, just over one million tonnes of contaminated water is held in almost 1, 000 tanks at Fukushima Daiichi, but the utility has warned that it will run out of space by the summer of 2022.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(release) the wastewater into the sea would also anger South Korea, adding to pressure on diplomatic ties.

    Seoul, which has yet to lift an import ban on Fukushima seafood {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(introduce) in 2013, claimed last week that discharging the water would pose a "grave threat" {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the marine environment — a charge rejected by Japan.

    Japanese Government officials say they won't make a decision {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they have received a report from an expert panel, but there are strong indications that dumping is preferred over other options {#blank#}8{#/blank#} vaporising, burying or storing the water indefinitely.

    Critics say the government is reluctant {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(support) the dumping option for fear of creating fresh controversy over Fukushima during the Rugby World Cup,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} starts this week, and the buildup to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
