Today, enjoy the highlights of Shanghai, China's most {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(energy) city consisting of people from different parts of the world. Your tour will begin with a tour of Old Shanghai, a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(mix) of pretty narrow streets, traditional Chinese stores, and restaurants selling delicious dumplings, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is the original pre-war Shanghai. Dating back to 1911 Shanghai, Old Town, was a walled city made up {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(main)of fishermen, but the walls of the city {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tear) down to allow free movement and easier trade. Continue through the Old Town, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}you'll find the Yu Garden there, first {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(establish) in the Ming Dynasty by a Mandarin named Pan Yunduan, who used to be the governor of Sichuan. The Yu Garden is considered {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the best garden in Southeast China, and enjoys {#blank#}9{#/blank#}history of over 400 years long. A large-scale restoration of the Yu Garden was conducted {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it opened to the public formally in 1961.

    Running a few kilometers each day is good for our health. However, new research says running too much could be bad for us. Running long distances {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(regular) for many years could make our life{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(short), not longer. The study is from the Minneapolis Heart Institute. A researcher said too much running can created plague(斑) inside your heart,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}can lead to heart disease. He wrote that running too much for many years takes away the good things from exercise. He{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(add) that the risk of heart disease could be{#blank#}5{#/blank#}same as someone who never exercised.

    Researchers looked{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the health and training of 3,300 runners over the age of 35. 70% of them ran over 30 kilometers a week. Men who ran marathons for 25 years had 62% more plaque in their heart than men who did little{#blank#}7{#/blank#}no exercise. Another doctor said he felt cheated. He started running marathons in 1967. He used{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(run) 60 kilometers every week. He said, “I thought I was out there exhausting{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(me), building an absolutely strong heart.” The doctor advised{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(exercise) frequently but not to overdo things.

    Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about {#blank#}1{#/blank#} happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell? Well, you might be shocked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (find) out that nearly one third of the food {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (produce) by food industry gets wasted. What's more, around 800 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead {#blank#}4{#/blank#} healthy life.

    Many people in the UK are trying to do something about this imbalance and make use {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thrown-out food that is edible (可食用的). For example, there is a cafe in Leeds whose meals are created using unsold food from supermarkets, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (include) a lot of vegetables, fruit, fish and other items. This unwanted food is turned into delicious soups that feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (simple) pay what they can afford, or help with the washing up.

    More cafes like this are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester, and it is now becoming a worldwide tendency. This is a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (amaze) project as food waste is one of the world's biggest {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (problem). Also, new law should {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pass), so that supermarkets don't throw away so much perfectly good food!

It is widely accepted that optimistic attitudes promote health as well as happiness. The secret of a long life is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (universe) desired and has long been sought. Today we can reveal it: always look on the bright side. A huge research project {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lead) by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine concludes that optimists live {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (long).

Lewina Lee, lead author of the study, said, "A lot of evidence {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (suggest) that exceptional longevity(长寿) is widely accompanied by a longer span of good health and living {#blank#}5{#/blank#} disability. Therefore our findings raise an exciting possibility {#blank#}6{#/blank#} we may be able to promote health and happiness by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (develop) positive attitudes such as optimism."

However, the study doesn't suggest that we should aim for great pleasure. Sadness is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} important part of the human condition. Any normal person sometimes experience disappointment, ambitions and the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (lose) of loved ones. But for many people, these matters of human existence {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (transform) into an abnormal state of despair. There is a vital place in public health for providing mental treatment in helping to correct these cognitive errors. It is not weakness to be defeated by setbacks. It is merely a mistake.

Barbara Millicent Roberts, also called Barbie, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (consider) the most successful toy doll in history. She first {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (appear) in the world of toys about 60 years ago, and has become very popular among little girls.

According to the Mattel Company, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} created Barbie, 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home. However, today there are many dolls competing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Barbie on the market. Bratz dolls, for example, look more like today's pop {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (star) with lots of makeup and miniskirts. Now Bratz is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} great challenge to Barbie, as the company offers various clothing, too.

It seems that Barbie is no longer {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (attract) to older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun, but when they get older, they want something more fashionable and modern," says a shop keeper of a toy store in New York. On the international scene, Barbie remains number one. Although Mattel has been selling fewer Barbies in the United States over the past years, sales in other countries have kept {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rise). It is hard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (say) how long Barbie will stay on as a celebrity in the world of toy dolls, but {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (undoubted) 60 is not the age to retire.
