I've dreamed of becoming a writer since I was a teenager. But {#blank#}1{#/blank#} isn't easy to get a book of mine published. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I've tried hard, none of my books have been published. This is really {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (upset).

    This morning, I received a call from a publisher and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tell) once again that there was no way my book would be published. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (feel) sad, I left home and went to the park near my apartment. At the park, I sat down on the bench near the grass.

    While I was sitting there, I saw a little boy about one and a half years old. He was running on the grass, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his mother not far behind him. He looked so happy when he enjoyed the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (free) of running on the grass. He then fell on the grass, but he quickly got up and continued {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) as fast as he could again even without looking back at his mother. He was still running with a smile on his face, as if nothing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (happen).

    Seeing that, I was truly inspired. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (sudden) realized that I shouldn't get discouraged after experiencing failure. Instead, I should cheer up and keep on trying.

    Founded in Yan'an in 1941, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) is now a famous university located in the Haidian District of Beijing, a place in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the key institutions of higher {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (educate) are concentrated. Excellence in foreign language teaching has allowed BFSU {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(enjoy) a good fame for quality in teaching and research activities.

    The university campus occupies {#blank#}4{#/blank#} area of 304,553 square meters, with a student dormitory area of 40,000 square meters and a library of 9,997 square meters. The Third Ring Road runs through the center of the university campus,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（make） transportation very convenient. The university is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(wide) known as Beiwai in Mandarin and BFSU in English.

    BFSU has over 600 highly-qualified and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(experience) staff members. Each year approximately 120 teachers and experts {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(employ) from more than 20 {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(country) to teach at BFSU. BFSU is a member of Project 211, a university development program supported {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the Ministry of Education.

    A taboo (禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(comfort). I learned this through my own experience.

    Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(foreign) around our city. Mr. Singh was from India and Mr. White from the USA. When I{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hold) out my left hand to shake hands with Mr. Singh, he seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, was quite casual. He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.

    In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn't touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(like) chickens' claws. During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(explain) that we didn't know it was a taboo in India to shake one's left hand. Mr. Singh explained that{#blank#}8{#/blank#}oxen are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don't eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that{#blank#}9{#/blank#}was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens' claws. He went on to say that {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(America) don't usually get into each other's personal space. Isn't it a good lesson that needs remembering?

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}we all know, cultural relics belong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the people all over the world. Nowadays, more and more people are interested in the topic about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to protect cultural relics such as places of interest, old city{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wall), folk arts and so on. Some even advise {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(devote) to new culture exhibitions in order to educate the public. As {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of fact, the Chinese government has been {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (concern) about the topic and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) measures. At the same time, more and more foreigners are coining to enjoy Chinese culture{#blank#}9{#/blank#} we are sure the interest in Chinese relics abroad will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great).

    What are the benefits of laughter? Laughter {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(use) as a signal for being part of a group —it signals acceptance and positive interactions with others. In fact, laughter is important, and has been shown to have many {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (benefit) effects on the human body in different ways. Just check out these health benefits of laughter.

    Boosts (增强) your immune system.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (study) have shown that laughter boosts the immune system, increasing the number of antibody-producing T cells. This then makes us less likely{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (catch) coughs and colds. It also lowers the levels of at least four hormones (激素) which are connected with stress. So, after a good laugh you should be far less anxious.

    Improves your breathing. Laugh more and more, because laughter empties your lungs of the air {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it takes in, resulting in a cleansing effect - similar {#blank#}6{#/blank#} deep breathing. This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) helpful for people who are suffering from asthma (哮喘).

    Protects your heart. Your heart is a muscle and, like any muscle in your body, it gets {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (strong) and functions better when exercised. Regular laughter is like{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (get) a gym membership for your heart. The study said that 15 minutes of laughter a day is as important for your heart {#blank#}10{#/blank#}30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.

    When it comes to climate change, language does count. In March, the Guardian changed{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) wording – using "global heating" instead of "global warming" , after scientists found that Earth's temperature is set {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(rise) from between 2.5C and 4.5C. And on May 1, the UK parliament declared a "climate emergency", {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(become)the first parliament to do so.

    If with "global warming", we're still inside our comfort zone of handling the situation, entering the state of "global heating" is like heading to a point {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the delicate balance of nature is disturbed so much that there is no turning back. Everything will be changing: Coral will die, polar bears will lose their habitats completely, and extreme{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (weather) like droughts and heavy storms will happen at a higher{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (frequent). There is no denying that we're entering a climate emergency.

    Decades ago when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts could be seen as an issue for future generations," but now it's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(definite) our issue, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}shift we all are living together.

    However, getting these messages {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is far from enough. It depends on each to find a solution – if there are any solutions left to find. The UK's Labor leader Jeremy urged that "we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(take) rapid and dramatic action now".

    Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.
