I love reading. At age 6, I could be found reading Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old but I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(enjoy) it all the same. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} soon became obvious that spelling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is one way I benefited {#blank#}3{#/blank#} reading at such a young age.

    My advice for you as English learners would be to read the English novels {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you have often read in your native language. Reading novels is a great way of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(improve) your vocabulary and spelling without realising it as you are absorbed（全神贯注的）in the storyline. You know the sorry well, so its {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(usual) easy to follow it in English even if you do not understand every word.

    This is another essential（基本的）point: it's not necessary {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(understand) every word. If you understand the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(mean) of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Quite often, if a word is used several times in a text, you'll gradually get an idea of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it means.

    Give it a try. If you like reading yon could open up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} whole new world of literature.

    Members of the post﹣1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs. They are particular about employment and it was common for them  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（break）appointments for job interviews.

    The only child is characteristic of the most of the families since 1990. His or her living conditions have  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (great) improved from those of the post﹣1980 and post﹣1970 generations. They don't experience much pressure in life so they pay closer attention to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(person) preferences and interests when {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hunt) for a job. They also does not care about the amount of money they make. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}，the working environment，the happiness they get from their work and respect from others are the things {#blank#}6{#/blank#}matter most.

    As the saying goes，second {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(think) are best. The post﹣1990generation does not think twice about leaving in their first year of work. If they lose interest in a job or are not clear about their future career path, they {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(quit) easily.

    Members of the generation are also more self﹣centered. They want more time for{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) and are not willing to work overtime. Their attitude to life is more casual.

    This generation is very sensitive and has a lot of self﹣respect,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the employers need to be concerned about their temperaments（性情）and ways of communication.

    There is a common fear of the number 13. It's a number just like any other, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} there are horror movies about it; some buildings {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (intention) have no I3th floor; and plenty of couple avoid gating married on the13th of the month.

    What makes this number so scary? Historians have pointed a few potential {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reason) about the origin of this fear, the most popular of which is that there were 13 diners at the Last Supper. The 13th lo arrive was Judas,  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} betrayed Jesus.

    Actually, there are no problems with the number {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it). Maybe 13 is next to the number 12, and that makes it look bad. In many ancient cultures, 12 {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (consider) to be a perfect number. Most ancient civilizations based their systems of telling time around the number 12. There are 12 hours on a clock, and 12 months in a year. Twelve is also {#blank#}7{#/blank#} largest number that also has one syllable (音节) in English. As the number immediately following this “perfect” one, 13 seemed imperfect, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(inspire) unease throughout the ancient world.

    So far, both myth and math {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) to make this particular number scarier than any other. The uneasiness about the number, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (dale) hark to ancient times, has been developed over the years.

    Lang Ping and Michael Jordan are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others.

    Lang ping is loved by fans at home and abroad. When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup, her determination {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (test). Two players had to leave. Losing two important players was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. She knew her young players could win {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they worked together{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a team. Two weeks later, they were world champions!

    Michael Jordan who became {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(know) as "Air Jordan" changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. His skills were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (impress), but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. He always seemed to find a way {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (win). Jordan says the secret to his success is learning from his {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fail). Losing games taught him to practice even{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(hard) than before. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(help) young people since 1996.

    They are our pride and their legends continue.
