He found that Yonghui opened a restaurant where only {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(slim) foods were served to help people lose weight. After having a look at the menu, he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(amaze) at the choices of food and the prices{#blank#}4{#/blank#} cost more than a good meal in his restaurant. He thought he could not have Yonghui{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(get) away with telling people lies! After a lot of research he realized that Yong hui's food could not give people enough energy to keep them fit. He felt more{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hope) as he drove back home. He wrote his sign in order to win his customers{#blank#}7{#/blank#} A week later, Wang Peng's smile left his face when Yonghui said he{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (spy) on her menu. Then later they found {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of their restaurants offers a balanced diet and decided to combine their ideas and provide a new menu with food which can cut down the fat and increase the fiber.

    Africa has been called the “dark continent” for a long time because {#blank#}1{#/blank#} lacks technology, electricity and other {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (achieve) of the modem world. However, it is beginning to change. Africa is starting to catch up with {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (industry) countries and the driving force behind this new development is the Internet and the World Wide Web.

    Now Africa is the fastest {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (grow) place on the earth. So far, governments, businesses and individuals {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (realize) that in order to develop quickly, modem technology is needed.

Today, they can phone in and get an up-to-the-minute report on prices.

    Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii. I hate to go to the beaches on {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sun) weekends and see rubbish bags{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(lie) on the sand, cigarette butts(烟头）{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bury) in the sand, and soda cans floating in the ocean.

    One thing that really annoys me is that I see tourists who visit Hawaii leave their rubbish on the beaches. I was always taught after drinking soda to throw the can into the place {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it should stay at --the trash can. Another thing that annoys me is that some people walk right by rubbish {#blank#}5{#/blank#}pretend that it's not there.

    The dogs or the fish are not to blame for it. It's our fault and we must blame {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(we).Everyone has to do his or her part{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (solve) this problem. It can't be difficult to do the job. There are a lot of things that we can do. First of all, we can help pick {#blank#}8{#/blank#}rubbish along the beaches. We could also form organizations that help clean up our beaches, More{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(important),we need to start now before the beaches{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(damage) beyond repair.

    Every day many teens wake up afraid of{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) to school. School bullying(校园欺凌) is a problem{#blank#}2{#/blank#} affects millions of students, and it makes everyone{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (worry), not just the kids. Yet because parents, teachers and other adults don't always see it, they may not understand how bad bullying can be.

    School bullying can threaten students' physical and emotional{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (safe) at school and can influence their ability to learn. There {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) a number of things you can do to make schools safe and prevent bullying.

    For younger kids, the best way of solving the bullying problem is to tell a trusted adult. For teens, the tell-an-adult way depends on the bullying situation. If you see or hear someone {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (beat), you should step in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stop) the bullying right away.  If you cannot stop it by{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you), then find someone who can. It is important to keep the bully away from the person he or she is bullying. Do not force the two parties to be in the same room together. Bullying is a problem that can cause serious damage unless the problem {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) in time. Take any bullying that you hear about very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (serious). You might even need to call the police in some situations.

    Nishit Sharma takes a heavy bag everywhere he goes. Whether he is traveling around the Kerala coastline or hiking in the mountains, he always carries a laptop and four or five cameras with him. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} They have helped him turn his adventures into amazing videos, inspiring people everywhere to get out and explore all that India has to offer.

In only two years, Sharma has produced nearly 100 videos for his web page on YouTube. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}From the thick forests in Meghalaya( a state in northeastern India), to the purple mountains in Tamil Nadu(a state in southeastern India), where he recorded the rare blossoming of the Kurinji flowers,—a phenomenon that happens once every 12 years—Sharma has shown a side if India that many people may never have known existed. Not even himself.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}He vividly remembers riding through the south of India on his motorcycle, exploring tree-lined streets in Pondicherry's French district, and being struck by the beauty of the peaceful hill station Munnar.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}However, Sharma knows there is no end to his exploration in India. He is so enthusiastic about sharing the lesser-seen side of his homeland, in new and better ways, that he has been known to open his laptop and work even on mountaintops. "{#blank#}5{#/blank#}And I've never stopped," he says. "The driving force for me is to keep learning."

A. Then there was the motorcycle tour in Kerala.

B. I started producing travel videos two years ago.

C. He might be running out of new places to sit.

D. As a travel writer, these are tools of his trade.

E. Up until now, he has already traveled across India.

F. I'm lucky to have been born and brought up in India.

G. Along the way, he has learned a lot about his homeland.

After traveling through space for seven months, China's Tianwen-1 probe has reached Mars and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(success) entered its orbit on Wednesday — bringing it one step {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (close) to landing on the surface.

Tianwen-1, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}name means "Quest for Heavenly Truth", consists of an orbiter, lander and a six-wheeled rover. The spacecraft {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (launch) last July along with two other international Mars missions, is scheduled to land on the planet's surface in May or June. It is tasked with gathering information about Mars' geological structure, atmosphere, environment and soil, as well as {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (search) for signs of water.

With Tianwen-1, China is the first nation {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attempt) to send both an orbiter and a rover on its first homegrown Mars mission. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} contrast, NASA sent multiple orbiters to Mars before ever attempting a landing, since pulling off the landing is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}far more difficult task.

The Chinese rover {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(expect) to function for about three months on the planet. It marks a milestone for China's deep-space {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (explore) of Mars, according to the CNSA. China is also planning to launch a permanent space station by 2022, and is looking at sending astronauts to the moon-possibly in the 2030s.
