Sometimes we have disagreements with people. When this h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the important thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated argument. Here {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my tips for you.

    The f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} thing I would say is that the way you begin the conversation is very important.

    Imagine you are a student and you share a flat {#blank#}4{#/blank#}another student who you think isn't doing her share of the housework. If you say, "Look, you never do your share of the housework.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}are you going to do about it?", the discussion will very soon turn into an argument. It's much more{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (有帮助)to say something like, "I think we had b {#blank#}7{#/blank#} have another look about how we divide up the housework. Maybe there is a better way of dealing with it. "

    My second piece of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a  is simple. If you're the person who is in the wrong, just admit it! This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. Just make an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(道歉)， and move on. The other person will have more respect for you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the future if you do that.

    For some time, I had been thinking that I wanted to do something to make strangers smile. I decided that I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leave) small notes around shops and other public places with positive sayings or kind words for strangers{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (find).

    A friend on Facebook posted that she had received a lot of beautiful paper from an artist friend and was wondering what to do with it. I told her about my idea, and she {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (immediate) said that this must be what her paper was meant for.

    So two friends on opposite {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (side) of the world started leaving these random notes of kindness. I leave my notes without {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(expect) any particular result. It doesn't matter whether they are read{#blank#}6{#/blank#}thrown away. The main thing is that I did this act.

    I now carry around a notebook in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I write down lovely and inspiring phrases that I find. And I buy packs of Post­ its to write notes on whenever I see {#blank#}8{#/blank#} opportunity to make a stranger smile. I only leave the notes when I am feeling in a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (happily) mood, as I don't want to pass any negative energy on to someone else.

    I sign them all{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (say) that this note is left for you by a stranger to make you smile. Then, I add a heart.

    Two men travelling through a forest together promised {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(help) each other whatever danger threatened them. They had not gone far before a bear rushed at them from some bushes. One man was a good {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(climb), and quickly climbed a nearby tree, but the other,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(see) that he had no chance alone against the bear, fell flat on his back and pretended to be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(die).

    The bear came up to him and sniffed at him. Thinking the man was dead, he went off into the wood again {#blank#}5{#/blank#} hurting him. When the bear had gone, the other traveler came down from his tree, and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(smile) asked his companion what the bear had said to him. "For I could see," he said, "that he put his mouth close to your ear."

    "He told me to tell you," {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(reply) the other, "that you were a coward（懦夫）, and that in future I should not trust those {#blank#}8{#/blank#} make fine promises, but will not stand by {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they)friends in danger."

    Don't trust fine promise {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you are sure of the person who makes them.

    We think that life in Chinese high school is an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and exams. Yet would it be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (surprise) if I tell you that high school life in the US is almost as stressful and demanding as it is in China?

    In US high school, everything {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (record) and graded, including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (turn) in your homework on time will directly affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps contrary to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we used to think of the US high school students, they pay great attention to their academic performance to try to get into distinguished university.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} they'll be disappointed after graduation from high school.

    Like university students, US high school students have the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (free) to choose the courses that most interest {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they). Even a 9th-grader can sit {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the same classroom as 12th-graders. But this also means he or she has to work very hard, because the teacher will not treat him or her {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (difference) just because he or she is a few years {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (young).

    Two new satellites of the BeiDou Navigation (导航)Satellite System (BDS){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(send)into space on a Long March﹣3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, China at 2:07 a. m. on November 19, 2018. The satellites entered a Medium Earth orbit {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(safe) more than three hours later and will work with 17other BDS﹣3satellites already in space. They are also the 42nd and 43rd {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(member) of the BDS satellite family.

    China launched these satellites with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} aim of providing navigation services for countries and regions which participate in the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) by the end of 2018. "This is a key step for BDS developing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a Chinese experimental system to a regional and then a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(globe) navigation system," said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. The positioning {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(accurate) of the BDS﹣3system has been improved to 2.5 meters to 5 meters, said Yang.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( name) after the Chinese term for the Plough, the BeiDou system has been serving China for 18 years {#blank#}9{#/blank#}another six BDS﹣3satellites will be put into the Medium Earth orbits from 2019to 2020. The system is expected {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(provide) first﹣class services around the globe by the end of 2020.

    Adam, a freshman of senior high school, thought going to senior high school was really {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (challenge). The first week made him a little {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (confuse). Different from junior middle school, he had to choose {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (suit) courses. He chose Chinese, hoping to speak it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fluent) when he graduated. His adviser also suggested that he sign {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  for advanced literature.

    Besides, he tried to join the football team, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he failed. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (obvious), he had to find a way to improve on his own to try next year. In a word, he wanted to be a person with a strong sense of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (responsible). Though he was worried about {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (keep) up with other students, he was sure he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (will) be well prepared for future life.
