Do you know the UK government has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(successful) passed a law banning branding on packs of cigarettes? That means tobacco manufacturers will be forced{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(pack) their cigarettes in plain packets.

    The motivation behind this{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(decide) is to make smoking less appealing to people, especially children.

    A similar law{#blank#}4{#/blank#}was passed in Australia in 2012 has resulted{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a fall in smoking rates from 15.1% to 12.8% for people aged 14.

    As of January 2015, 22% of adult men and 17% of adult women smoke in Great Britain. The possibility of smoking in the UK increases with age so that by 15 years of age 8% of school children{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) regular smokers. Children, it is thought, will be less attracted to cigarettes{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(sell) in unbranded boxes.

    Smoking is one of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}biggest causes of preventable deaths in England. Every year about 80,000 die and over 450,000{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(send) to hospital due to smoking. This places a large strain on the health service and is also a factor in why the government would like to prevent people from{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(take) up smoking or help them quit.

    Many couples are quite puzzled about this question.How can lovers be devoted to each other for long? Actually, they just complain about their marriage to their partners all the time,not{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(know) how to deal with the marriage crisis.

    “Before we were{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(marry),my husband was a caring man,“a wife once told me.“It seemed that he would love me till the end of the world.Since we got married,he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(become) a lazy bone.He watches ball games more than he watches me.He has changed so much that I can{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hard) bear him.”

    “Very funny,”answered the husband.“But have you looked at yourself lately?Several years ago,you were very beautiful.Now you wear that old dress.If I've changed from{#blank#}5{#/blank#}energetic man to a lazy one,then you've changed yourself from a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(beauty) lady to an ugly one.”This hurtful but childish{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(argue) shows how couples, instead of looking for love,may look for all the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fault) that his/her partner has in their daily life.

    Honestly speaking,how we see our partners often depends more{#blank#}9{#/blank#}how we are than how they are.It is a way of seeing.Husbands and wives are not audience{#blank#}10{#/blank#}participant observers in each other's life.Remember that the law of lasting love is to look at your lover with love.

    What is reading?

    Reading is actually a very complex process that requires a great deal of active{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(participate) on the part of the reader. It is an active thinking process involving the interaction between the reader and the print. That is to say, the reader's schema (former or previous knowledge) about the topic to{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(read) and his language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar) directly affect his understanding of the reading material and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}turn, the new information about the topic{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(contain) in the reading material will enlarge the reader's former schema.

    Reading is a very important{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(mean) of gaining knowledge about culture, custom, science education and technology from others or other countries. It is a good way of learning the most advanced hi-technology{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(serve) the needs of the social development and the interests of our people through reading. Reading is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}inseparable component of the English learning. We should lay solid foundations for our advanced education, and we can master the language by reading{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(large). However, it is a very complex activity{#blank#}9{#/blank#}involves almost all psychological processes{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(include) sensation, perception, motor behavior, motivation, attention, emotion, cognition and all kinds of memory.

    As a student, you may have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (win) the Noble Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (student) in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?

    Andrew Matthems, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams come true is life's {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(big) challenge. You may think you're not very good {#blank#}5{#/blank#}some school subjects, and it's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (possible) for you to be successful. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember {#blank#}7{#/blank#}your dream is. Keep telling{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you) what you want every day. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream, but the largest difficulty {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (come) from yourself. You need to decide to do what is the most important. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (use).

Digital technology is being increasingly adopted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (carry) out economic and social activities, and is deeply transforming production patterns and people's lifestyles. However, it is important that the adoption of digital technology in developing countries does not {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wide) the rich-poor gap. In China, e-commerce and poverty alleviation (扶贫) programs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (support) by big data have had positive effects on fighting poverty.

E-commerce (电子商务) promotes growth in incomes' for the poor. China has the world's fastest-growing e-commerce market, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} more than 40 percent of global e-commerce transactions (交易) take place. Many poor people have benefited {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the booming e-commerce industry. For example, in the past years, the National Rural E-commerce Comprehensive Demonstration Project {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (help) nearly 3 million poor families realize income growth. Besides, E-commerce platforms have greatly increased the possibility {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the small and micro businesses enter the market. Rural residents can now display {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) farm produce and handicrafts online and find buyers, thus increasing sales. Also, e-commerce drives the development of whole industrial chains, creating job opportunities and providing diverse options for rural labor.

Digital technology has been playing a positive role in China's poverty {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (reduce). Governments at all levels keep an open and encouraging attitude toward the development of the digital economy and much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (active) cooperate with digital companies to better identify and help the poor.
