The First World War postcard has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(final) been sent after many years. It is a very old postcard. This postcard was from a 19-year old soldier, Alfred, during the First World War. He{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(write) this postcard and sent it to his lovely sister Nell{#blank#}3{#/blank#}January 1916. The postcard is dated 1916 and{#blank#}4{#/blank#}is a cartoon picture of a new solider on the front.

    Alfred has written to his sister, “Dear Nell, just{#blank#}5{#/blank#}postcard to let you know I have not forgotten you. On the other side you will see our orders for next week. I will need your pity. Write to me, your brother Alfred.” Sadly, Alfred{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(kill) in a flight in 1918 before the card arrived.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (year) later, his sister died in 1964.

    The postcard is marked 1916 and again September 2010 when it was stamped to arrive. But the postman couldn't find the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(receive) any more. The post office said it was out of the question that the card was with{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) all the time. They regularly cleaned out their offices and post boxes. The{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(postcard) history for the last 94 years is still a mystery.

    There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt．This trend，which was started by the medical community（医学界）{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a method of fighting heart disease，has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（effect） such as overweight and heart disease---the very thing the medical community was trying to fight．

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet．They are required{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（process） the food that we eat，to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions．When fat and salt {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（remove） from food，the food tastes as if it is missing something．As{#blank#}5{#/blank#}result，people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing．Even {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（bad），the amount of fast food that people eat goes up．Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（be） full of fat and salt； by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （ eat） more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet．

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack（吃点心） between meals and will improve the taste of your food．However，be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （care） not to go to extremes．Like anything，it is possible to have too much of both，{#blank#}10{#/blank#} is not good for the health．

    Once there lived a rich man {#blank#}1{#/blank#} wanted to do something for the people of his town. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

    In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} very large stone. Then he {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

    “Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} man came along and did the same thing; then another came ,and another. All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove it. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(say) to himself: “The night {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(late) in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

    Then he began {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(move) the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (strong) to move it. How great was his surprise at last! Under the stone, he found a bag of money.

    For many young people, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) to university is one of the most important {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(stage) of their lives. It is the time when young people will move out of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) home to live with other people, often strangers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(especial) in the US, people often travel very far from home to study. It is a time to be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dependence).

    At university, you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (teach) by lectures and professors who are leading figures in their study. The opportunity to learn from and to discuss with them is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} drives some people to apply to university. Students are required to choose a major that they wish to study. Apart {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the academic benefit, life at university can also allow students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (develop) their interests in many fields.

    Therefore, university is a place {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you attain knowledge, to develop your values and accept those who may be different.

    Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（break）out .

    Every year, over 11, 000 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（kill）or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（care）cause about 200 deaths and over 6,000 fires. More than half of those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 119for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（go）into a room, check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（slow）. If there's a rush of smoke or heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（other）in side.

    Now open the window and shout “Fire!”. See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（long）before dropping. Once outside, stay outside and make sure the fire department is called.

    Should naps(小睡) actually {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your body. But naps can actually be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} double-edged sword because while we're awake during the day, we're building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when you try to fall asleep at night, you'll fall asleep quickly and then you'll stay asleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (refresh).

    So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep soundly throughout the night. So the advice would be if you don't struggle with your sleep and you can nap{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (regular), then naps are just fine.

    But if you do find it difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fall) asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.

    The ideal nap depends on {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep actually give you different types of brain and body  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (benefit).
