Body language is one of the most powerful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mean) of communication, often even more powerful {#blank#}2{#/blank#}spoken language. People around the world show many kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(speak) communication. Of course, body language can be misread, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many gestures and actions are universal.

    The most universal {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(face) expression is, of course, the smile- its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(true) happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hide) other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone" {#blank#}9{#/blank#}_ (lose) face" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (feel).

Recently I failed an exam. However, after I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, "Smile! It's not so serious."

    I smiled a big smile and it{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) a little, really.

Everyone gets{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (frustrate) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a sentence in the Bible, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day." It suddenly struck me, "{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) a big smile and face up to the trouble?"

    Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (convince) that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me the courage to move on.

    Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, whenever you've been treated{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fair), all{#blank#}9{#/blank#} matters is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}it will shine on you.

    China, which takes pride in inventions in ancient times, has once again demonstrated its {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(able) to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(share) bicycles and online shopping. The “new four great inventions” are all related {#blank#}3{#/blank#} China's high-tech innovation(创新), which has improved the quality of people's lives. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat anything {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}overseas Chinese student from Cambodia, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(add) that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”

    The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. It is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is partly because China skipped over the PC age and went directly to mobile. China has the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (large) mobile use in the world.

    In terms of the “new four great inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said, “These products and services {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) the customer experience so far, improving national and global economy at the same time”.

    Recently a really strange thing happened in a middle school in China's Hubei Province. Over 600 students there took part in a "caring for an egg like a baby"{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (active), in which they were asked to keep an egg close at hand for a month{#blank#}2{#/blank#}breaking it.

    "It's hard for parents to bring up their children {#blank#}3{#/blank#} many students just ignore it," said Liu Kang, the school's director. "They should {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (teach) to be grateful to their parents, who have given them life but ask for nothing in return."

    Li Ming is one of the students. His egg didn't break during the month, but he felt   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exhaust). "I now understand what great difficulty my parents have had{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bring) me up. I'll do all I can to make their life easier and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (comfort) when I grow up," promised the 13-year-old boy.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(luck), about 450 students broke their eggs. Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days, which made him frustrated. He said, "I can't imagine {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me, their 'egg'! It is now time I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(do) something in return for their love," said Yan.

    A farmer once organized a competition between his dog and his rabbit. He dug a hole in one of his biggest fields, and hid a carrot and a bone in it. He wanted to see {#blank#}1{#/blank#} animal would find them first.

    The {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(cheer) and optimistic rabbit threw himself into looking for the carrot, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(dig) here and there, totally convinced that he would find it. But the dog, after sniffing around for a bit, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lie) down and began to complain about how difficult it was to find one bone in such a big field.

    The rabbit dug {#blank#}5{#/blank#}hours, and with every new hole the dog complained even more about how difficult this was, even for the rabbit. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the rabbit thought that each hole dug was one hole less that needed digging. When there was no place in the whole field {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(leave) to dig, the rabbit dug a tunnel right to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the dog had been lying all the time. There he found the carrot and the bone.

    This is how the dog lost the game. He had come to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}right place at the very beginning but failed to find the bone {#blank#}10{#/blank#}he only complained and didn't try at all.

    People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} realizing that they're paying for it by giving up plenty of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (target) messages.

    Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they're paying for Facebook, because people don't really know what their personal details are worth.

    The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules.  Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook -- you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules {#blank#}4{#/blank#} many things -- your city, your photo, your friends' names -- were set, by default(默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

    According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a “{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (satisfying) experience.”

    Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they are connecting with their friends online?

    So far the privacy issue {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (land) Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.  He also urged the Commission to set regulations for social-networking sites.

    I suspect that whatever Facebook has done {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (invade) our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I'm considering {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cancel) my account.  Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That is too high a price to pay.
