If one wants to keep fit, he should  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} {#blank#}2{#/blank#} instead of taking certain pills, which actually has a bad {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} people's health.

    Every year around Valentine's Day, men begin to worry about what {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (present) to buy and women {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fill) with hope and expectation. Or the other way around. In China, more couples get married on that very day, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (add) romance to their promises. But for many, love is neither the matter-of-course choice {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the preferred one. More young, working urban residents are delaying or even choosing not to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (active) seek their partners despite the social pressure from the older generations to do so.

    Over the years, China's divorce rate has exceeded (超过) that of marriage. According to the statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, 10 million couples registered for marriage in 2017 fell by 7% {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (compare) with the same period last year, while 43.7 million couples divorced, 5.2% more than the same period last year.

    There is also a growing trend towards people marrying later: since 2013, the number of couples aged 25 to 29 has been greater than {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of younger couples. In the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (late) survey on professional attitudes towards love and marriage, more than half of the investigated in Yangzhou, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} second-level city on the East coast, were satisfied {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their marriage after 35.

    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.

    My doorbell rings at 11 am. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady holding the hand of a little boy. In her other hand {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) a paper bag. She is the little boy's grandmother, and her daughter, Nicole, bought {#blank#}2{#/blank#} house next door last October. Nicole has {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (obvious) told her mother that I am having a heart operation shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (supply) me with meals.

    I know what is inside the paper bag——a bottle of hot soup and a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (contain) with a meal of rice, vegetables and meat. It's become a daily occurrence.

    Communication {#blank#}6{#/blank#} us is somewhat difficult because she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an Ipad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} showed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the food was all right for me.

So here we are, two grandmothers, neither of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (we) able to speak the other's language but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (ring) and there is the familiar brown paper bag, handed smilingly to me.
