Mr. Green has {#blank#}1{#/blank#}bakery. Many customers come to buy {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(variety) of bread every day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (say)that Mr. Green's bread is nicer and cheaper than {#blank#}4{#/blank#}in other bakeries. Children always ask their parents to buy Mr. Green's cake {#blank#}5{#/blank#}their birthdays because it tastes so delicious and looks so cute.

    Betty is Mr. Green's only daughter  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}usually helps in the bakery. However, she thinks her father very cold and complains to her mother: “Mom, why does Dad never say how much he loves me? Is it because he doesn't like me?” “Oh, my good girl,” says Mrs, Green. “You never know how proud your father is of you.     Nothing else in the world {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(mean) more than you to your father. When he's making cookies and bread, he is thinking of you. That's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}our cakes and bread are the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good). Sometimes when you've done something wrong and made him angry or sad, the bread that day must taste hard and dry. Your father may not say how much he loves you, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} his bread does.”

    It is reported {#blank#}1{#/blank#} gender (性别) differences exist mainly in terms {#blank#}2{#/blank#} sense of space and language ability. But that doesn't necessarily mean all women have a poor sense of space or all women are good at languages. Women can become excellent drivers as long as they have the courage to challenge {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tradition) gender roles and believe in themselves.

    In London, only one in ten bus drivers is a woman. Yet, according to the results of recent research, women are better at {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (deal) with problem passengers, have fewer accidents and are quicker at learning to drive buses than men.

    Connie Wilson {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (become) a bus driver a year ago. “At first, driving {#blank#}6{#/blank#} bus was quite frightening,” she says. “I had no idea of the size of the vehicle or how {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (control) it. But after seven weeks of training, I passed the test first time. Trying to keep to the timetable when the traffic is heavy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) not easy but I like the challenge! Some passengers can be rude, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (especial) if they've had to wait a long time for the bus. But most are pleased to have a woman driver. There is no reason {#blank#}10{#/blank#} women can't do the job just as well as men. I'd say that to any woman.

    Bike sharing is growing in popularity as a means of public transportation. It seems like a perfect solution{#blank#}1{#/blank#}China's heavy traffic.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}some local authorities(权威人士)say the bikes have become a nuisance and one Shanghai district has confiscated(没收)almost 5,000 bikes. The unregulated parking has caused continuous problems and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(complain). Traffic police had confiscated the bikes because they had been {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(legal)parked.

    Shanghai is the world's largest bikeshare city with 280,000 shared bikes citywide. That number is expected{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(jump)to 500,000 by this June, according to Guo Jianrong, Secretary General of Shanghai Bicycle Association.

    Until the turn of the century, bikes were the main form of transport in Chinese cities. But in recent years, as Chinese have grown{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(rich)than before, bicycles{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(replace)by private cars, motorbikes and other public transport.

Bike sharing is hardly new, but what makes{#blank#}8{#/blank#} unique in China is that its usually station free—which means that users can leave the bikes anywhere they want. It's also cheap. Shanghai is not the only city{#blank#}9{#/blank#}bike sharing has had teething(萌芽的)problems. More than 500 bikes{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rent)out by bike sharing firms were piled up in the southern city of Shenzhen in January.

    If you only got six hours' shut eye last night, there is no need {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lose) sleep over it.

    Scientists say that though it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wide) believed that we need eight hours of sleep a night, six to seven hours is the natural amount.

    Advising short-sleepers to rest easy, the US researchers say, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) important implications (暗示，含义) for the idea that we need to take sleeping pills because sleep has been reduced from {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (it) natural level by the widespread use of electricity, TV, the Internet and so on.

    The lead author of a study, Ghandi, said: "There's the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (expect) that we should all be sleeping for eight or nine hours a night, and if we took away modern technology, we would be sleeping more. But now, for the first time, we are showing that's not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} truth."

    Most of those {#blank#}7{#/blank#} were studied slept for less than seven hours a night, with the average amount just six hours and 25 minutes. This is much less than the eight hours often {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (recommend) in western societies.

    Despite this, the people studied were in good health, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} lower rates of obesity (肥胖症), better blood pressure and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (healthy) hearts than people in industrialised societies. They were also fitter.
