Chinese oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) over 3,000 years old are now being widely used as emojis by young WeChat users, thanks to a person who made them{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(close) to people's life than before.

     “The ancient characters are not as cool and distant {#blank#}2{#/blank#}they are supposed to be,” said the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (create) Chen Nan. “In fact, they are cute and humorous, and they could totally serve our needs for online expression.”{#blank#}4{#/blank#}46-year-old professor of fine art at Tsinghua University has been working to make oracle bone inscriptions into emojis. For example, the character for “zui,”{#blank#}5{#/blank#} means “drunk” in English, was created {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(look) like a stumbling figure.

    Chen has also combined the ancient Chinese characters with cartoon figures. A cartoon video clip {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(feature) oracle bone inscriptions designed by him was viewed 31 million times and shared 140,000 times.

    Chen worked on the road of innovation 19 years ago. In 2016, the ancient typeface{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(include) into the font library under his efforts to let the ancient words walk into people's life. Now the library has as many as 3,500 characters,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}Chen's research on the project still continues, as he plans to extend the library to 7,000 characters. In the future, he will apply the ancient characters  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}education and development of games and apps.

    Recently I failed an exam. However, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}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#}2{#/blank#} (work) a little, really.

    Everyone gets {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (frustrate) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came {#blank#}4{#/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#}5{#/blank#}(worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(give) a big smile and face up to the trouble？"

    Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I {#blank#}8{#/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#}9{#/blank#} (fair), all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it will shine on you.

    Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to sail a boat Wind is one of our cleanest and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (rich) power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(begin) to be used in ancient Iran back in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} seventh century BC. They were first {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (introduce) to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (use) wind power.

    For many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (century), people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. Today, there is a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (globe) movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

    Successful communication {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(involve) more than talking to a person. Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to communicate {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effective) with others. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Therefore, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(read) body language is an important part of developing our social skills.
