Would you like the chance {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(discover) a place of mystery and beauty in the south­west of China? If your answer is 'yes'， consider a trip to Shangri­la!

    The word 'Shangri­la' first appeared in a classic novel by James Hilton. Hilton described a beautiful kingdom{#blank#}2{#/blank#}three rivers joined together, steep mountains reached to the sky, and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(discover) how to stay young forever.

    Which place could {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(official) take the name of this wonderful land? There were arguments over {#blank#}5{#/blank#} tourist spot{#blank#}6{#/blank#}win) the name of Shangri­la. Many years after the book was published, some people realized that the Shangri­la of the novel was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}perfect match for Zhongdian in Yunnan Province, China. In September 1997, the government of Yunnan Province announced that Zhongdian was the Shangri­la of Hilton's story.

    Three mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cover) with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for words.

    Below the mountains, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the rich countryside.

    Nature has provided Shangri­la with endless natural treasures，{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) the land a happy home for the local people.

    The weather changes so quickly that people say you can experience four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri­la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was started by the medical community(医学界) as a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—--the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required to process the food that we eat, to recover{#blank#}3{#/blank#}injury and several other bodily functions. When fat and salt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something.

    As{#blank#}5{#/blank#}result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) full of fat and salt; by{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have) too much of both, and this is not good for your health.

    Fewer than one in seven people can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( correct) identify common washing symbols while a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (three) of people admit they never check instruction labels (标签). Some seven in ten say they ever had machine-washed clothes that should {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) to the dry cleaners because they failed to look at the labels.

    The ignorance about {#blank#}4{#/blank#} clothes should be cleaned can cost families thousands of pounds, according to a sample test of householders by a school uniform supplier.

    Men are the worst offenders with more than three quarters always using the same program on a washing machine regardless of the instructions. Almost half of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (woman) used just three programs. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is said that the lack of understanding over symbols is destroying thousands of pounds worth of clothing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (treat) improperly.

    While almost eight {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ten people believe it is important to check the labels on their clothes, less than half look at them when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (buy) new clothes. Some nine out of ten said they were unaware that some clothing should never be put in the drier.

    The labels are there to show how clothes should be treated. This {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (help) information can save time and ensure clothes to last longer.
