As is known to all, art {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (influence) by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times.

    In the 5th century, the art of the Middle Ages came into being and the main aim of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (paint) was to represent religious themes. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a result, some pictures at this time were full of religious symbols, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (create) a feeling of respect and love for God. During the Renaissance, people began to concentrate {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude {#blank#}6{#/blank#} life. In the late 19th century, some painters became the Impressionists. And they were the first painters {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (paint) outdoors. Paintings can reflect the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (develop) of civilization, and it is interesting to predict {#blank#}9{#/blank#} styles of paintings there will be in the future. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} not try to visit some art galleries to appreciate different styles of paintings?

    Spring Festival is the most celebrated festival in China. On that day and over the following two weeks, people greet each other. Streets and houses {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(decorate)by many things of red color.

    Spring Festival is a time for expressing gratefulness. Gratefulness is a Chinese virtue. A regular activity is offering sacrifice to the heaven and to the earth, and to ancestors. It is meant{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(show) gratefulness to the origin of life.

    Spring Festival is also a salute{#blank#}3{#/blank#}another Chinese virtue, diligence(勤劳).We Chinese people believe that only with{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(we) own hands can we create a happy and beautiful life. Some activities staged during Spring Festival{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(most) reflect daily working scenes such as harvesting and fishing.

    Spring Festival also calls for sharing,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}value long kept by Chinese. As the old saying goes, good fortune should be shared, and misfortune be faced together. In some areas, people bring foods to a public place and have fun together by having games or{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(perform).

    As ware celebrating Spring Festival，the festival is getting more popular in the west.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tradition)Chinese activities，such as the dragon dance and the Peking Opera, are performed as a fixed program，{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (add) diversity to local culture. It indicates the trends of mutual (相互的)learning and harmonious coexistence(共存) between civilizations,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}are expected to contribute to the building of a shared future for humankind.

    Traffic jams (堵塞) are a common problem in larger cities. In some cities, traffic jams get so bad during rush hour that it is sometimes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fast) to walk than to drive. Traffic accidents are also a problem. Sadly these problems are not easy to solve. However, a traffic system (系统) being tested in several cities in Northern Europe has led to some surprising {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (result).

    The system {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) "shared streets". It is a system that has very few traffic laws. As a result, shared street areas have no traffic lights or street signs. Although most people would expect this to cause the number of traffic jams and accidents {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) up, until now {#blank#}5{#/blank#} has been a great drop in both. One reason {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) that the shared streets system encourages people to be more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (care). Without traffic rules, people slow down and pay more attention {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each other. Normal traffic systems, on the other hand, depend on signs, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people often miss or don't follow, leading to accidents. Also, the shared streets system decreases (减少) traffic jams because without fixed (固定的) parking spaces, it is easier for cars to move around {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (free) when there is a lot of traffic.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(eat) an egg a day may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, a study of more than 400,000 adults in China{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(suggestion).

    Daily egg eaters had an 18% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular(心血管的) disease, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}manifests(表现，显现) as heart attacks and strokes,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(compare) with adults who avoided eggs, according{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the research published Monday in the journal Heart.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(Common) called heart disease, cardiovascular disease includes heart{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fail), arrhythmias(心律不齐) and heart valve problems in addition to strokes and attacks. Raised blood pressure, carrying too much {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(weigh) or obesity, and elevated(提升) blood sugar all contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease, which{#blank#}9{#/blank#} trigger (引发)by unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(harm)use of alcohol.

    Wherever you look these days something's looking back at you. There are video cameras on street {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (corner), vehicles and our own front doors.

    A Chicago company {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call)Cooler Screens believes that you won't mind if they put cameras into the display cases (展柜) in stores. The cameras aren't placed there {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (prevent) you from stealing. Instead, they're part of a system that tries to guess {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you will buy next, based on how you look.

    The doors on the cases {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) video screens that show images of the goods, so a customer can see what's available inside. The screens also show vivid ads. They decide which ads to show by {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (study) video images of the customers.

    A camera feeds images of each customer into a computer {#blank#}7{#/blank#} guesses his or her sex and age. In addition, the system tracks {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (exact) where the customer is looking. Do the eyes come to rest {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a bottle of Red Bull, or does the shopper fancy Coca Cola? The Cooler Screens system instantly {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (analyze) all of this data, and then starts showing ads on the cooler door.

    Celebrities(名人)like Olivia Munn, as well as fashion companies like Cucci and Versace , are among those who have been opposed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} wearing animal fur. Now, San Francisco has become the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(large) city in the USA to ban retailers from selling new fur to their customers.

    The ban aims to send {#blank#}3{#/blank#} strong message to the fur industry {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the cruelty these animals endure for the purpose of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (become) clothing is not consistent with the value of the city.

    As we all know, West Hollywood became the first American city {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(forbid)the sale of new fur items in 2011, and Berkeley passed a ban on the sale of fur clothing in 2017. Additionally, in 2000, the UK led the charge(打头阵), {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (follow) by Australia in 2004. More recently, the Netherlands, the European Union's main producer of fur , banned fur farming in 2012 and plans to end mink(貂) farming by 2024. In 2018, Norway banned fur farms and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(end) fox and mink farming by 2025.

    Hopefully, only when efforts like these are made to encourage {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consume) to stop buying real animal fur {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the lives of animals be further protected all over the world.
