There is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(busy) day of the week”. How many {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (time) have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? I'd say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here are the reasons.

Tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(dead), but the reality—everyone is going to die at one point, but none of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (we) know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don't go to your grave {#blank#}6{#/blank#} unfinished dreams. Make the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (decide) to go after every dream, big or small right now.

    You'll be much happier if you go for it. Imagine how much happier you'll be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}you're living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing that is stopping you{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) yourself. Take control of your own happiness. Don't keep your dreams {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wait). Go after them right now!

    Tea is enjoyed all over the world as a comforting treat. First, choose the type of tea you want to drink. There are various types of tea that offer different health {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (benefit) and flavors. Next, boil a pot of water and pour it over your tea. Allow your tea to soak thoroughly. Add milk and sugar to increase {#blank#}2{#/blank#} flavor of bold teas or add honey {#blank#}3{#/blank#} lightly flavored teas if desired.

    Green tea is known for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (it) high level of a cancer-fighting chemical. However, green tea is high in caffeine and can make you feel anxious and nervous if you drink too much. It is said that oolong tea may promote healthy skin and black tea can {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (great) reduce the risk of breast cancer in younger women. White tea is helpful in preventing cavities and building the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (strong) of your teeth. There have been many claims about herbal teas which can do good to health, but there is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (limit) research or supporting data on these claims.

    Most teas can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (buy) and transported in tins of loose tea or in small packages of tea bags. Some people believe that loose leaf teas have a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fresh) flavor than tea bags{#blank#}10{#/blank#} others prefer tea bags because they're much easier to use and carry around.

To any soldier

    I served as a second lieutenant (少尉) in a war thirty years ago. Married for only a year and a half, I missed my wife and baby daughter a lot. In the years before cell phones and Wi-Fi, we had limited opportunities {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (communicate) with loved ones.

    One night while sitting by myself, I investigated the "Any Soldier" mailbox, a cardboard box with letters and packages from Americans. I chose one shoebox-size package. Inside I found about 20 greeting cards {#blank#}2{#/blank#} children. At the bottom was a letter written by their teacher  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (explain) how her kids had put the box together and how they supported our efforts in the war. Truly touched at that very moment by this gesture, I decided to write a letter of gratitude. I thanked the teacher for  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} her children had done—its impact on my patriotism, my morale, and, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (significantly), my uplifted faith. For security reasons, I was able to sign only my name.

    Around 2013, I received a Facebook friend request from a woman with  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I shared no contacts. I replied that  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we were friends, I could not accept her request. She responded with one question: "Are you Second Lieutenant Bartholomew?" I replied that I had been at one time.

    "Dear sir," she wrote. "We have never met, but thirty years ago I was a second-grade teacher at a school in Ohio and our classroom sent a care package  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (address) to Any Service Member.' The thank-you letter you composed was framed and it  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (post) on the wall of the school for more than 20 years. I wanted to again thank you for your service to our country."

    We never spoke again, but this gracious teacher strengthened my belief in doing what my mother always taught me: Write thank-you notes— {#blank#}10{#/blank#} never know how many people your kindness can touch.

    Ahead of this year's London Book Fair in March, media reported a rise in interest in translated works among British readers. For translator Anna Holmwood, this signals the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (arrive) of a new era.

    "This is a big moment for Chinese fiction abroad," says Holmwood, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has translated Chinese literature for almost a decade.

    Her translation work, Legends of the Condor Heroes, a fantasy novel written by Jin Yong, and Liu Cixin's science-fiction book, The Three Body Problem, are shown in a Nielsen report {#blank#}3{#/blank#} examples of two of the most popular Chinese fiction works in Britain in 2018.

    "Languages in growing demand include Chinese and Arabic." according to the Nielsen report. It found that, against the commonly {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) "not more than 3 percent rule" of translated literature's presence in the English-language book markets, the number for 2018 was 5.63 percent in Britain {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the total annual sales was worth $27.1 million.

    Charlotte Collins, translator and co-chair of the British Translators Association, says: "As we can see, this proportion (比率) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (double) in recent years... This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (real) exciting news."

    The Guardian quotes (引用) Fiammetta Rocco, administrator of the Man Booker International Prize, "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (read) fiction is one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) ways of putting ourselves in other people's shoes. The rise in sales of translated fiction {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) how hungry British readers are for terrific writing from other countries."
