Many Chinese believe{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(eat) pig brains will increase their intelligence and some Americans regularly eat{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (cook) eggs to keep their minds sharp.  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} doctors don't recommend eating{#blank#}4{#/blank#} raw eggs or animal brains. Then, what food is good for your brain? Scientists have found a relationship  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} diet and a healthy brain. Generally speaking, fish is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}brain food. Besides fish, you should introduce lots of dark green leafy vegetables and colorful fruits into your diet,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} most people lack the special vitamins{#blank#}8{#/blank#} these brain food provide. If you eat brain foods{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(regular), they can increase brain power — help you pay attention, keep you motivated, improve your memory and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(less) stress from studies. Then you can do much better in your test.

    “Why are you unwilling to accept this opportunity in space? Have you read the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(describe) carefully?” Wang Ping asked me. “You will live in a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(furnish) house with all modem equipment and robots will be able to clarify any problems. You are only needed to become familiar with the administration and rules for such a project. It will be an{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (enjoy) experience for you.”

    Many people need to be reminded of the job opportunities in space stations, which{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (constant) need space cooks, cleaners, teachers, stewards and stewardesses. You can be swiftly trained for your new job from using previous skills. At first people may find new surroundings difficult{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tolerate). However, they will be able to overcome the difficulties if their families encourage them to take{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the job.

    On April 1,2017, China announced that it would build the Xiongan New Area in Hebei province. This will be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(great) important to China.

    The New Area, about 100 km southwest of downtown Beijing, will cover three counties{#blank#}2{#/blank#}sit at the center of the triangular area formed by Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei's provincial capital Shijiazhuang.

    “The Xiongan New Area has great potential for{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(grow),” reported People's Daily. It had a broad space{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(develop) and will expand to cover 2,000 square kilometers . The transportation of the area is convenient, with only one hour's drive to Beijing and Tianjin.

    The New Area also has{#blank#}5{#/blank#}sound natural environment. It is home to Baiyangdian, one of the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(large) freshwater wetlands in North China. With more than 140 lakes, the wetland is known{#blank#}7{#/blank#}the “pearl” of the North China Plain.

    Once{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(build),the area will reduce the heavy burdens of Beijing. For example, many companies , universities and scientific research{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(centre) will move from Beijing to the area.

    “International experts and media also think highly of this new area , saying that it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(set) an example to developing countries,” noted Xinhua.

    The Battle of Chancellorsville, one of the most famous battles of the Civil War, took place in Virginia in the spring of 1863. For months, the two armies had been staying on opposite banks of a narrow river. The Confederate(南方联盟) troops were led by perhaps {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (honored) military tactician(战略家) in American history, General Robert E. Lee. The Union (北方联盟)soldiers were led by “Fighting” Joe Hooker.

    In appearance, personality, and lifestyle, these men were nearly perfect opposites. Lee, an older man in poor health with a gray beard, had a solemn, measured character. Hooker was a blond, broad-shouldered young man {#blank#}2{#/blank#} pride over his appearance was but one aspect of his self-centeredness. Whereas Lee was loyal and principled, Hooker was known for his rollicking enjoyment of both women and whiskey.

    Despite the fact that the Confederacy {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (win) the last four major battles and the Union soldiers were starving, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (exhaust), and demoralized, Hooker proclaimed, “My plans are perfect. And when I start to carry them out, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for I shall have none.” Why was Hooker so confident?

    Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lee's army. He had already been aware, for example, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Lee had only 61,000 men to Hooker's own 134,000. Supported by his superior numbers, Hooker secretly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Lee's army. In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate soldiers in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lee's only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (assure) a Union victory.

    Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat. Instead, he moved his troops into position to attack. Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (dismiss) as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (retreat), Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lee's army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating supper, completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lee's troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn. Against all odds, Lee won the Battle of Chancellorsville, and Hooker's forces withdrew in defeat.

    A film, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(release) in Chinese cinemas next month, tells the story of a former British secret agent named Johnny English, who has now retired to be a middle school history teacher. However, after a series of cyber attacks on the UK government, all the active secret agents {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(expose), which leaves the mission of catching the bad guys {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Johnny English.

    But {#blank#}4{#/blank#} films such as Mission Impossible and Kingsman (《王牌特工》), in which agents are all masters of high-tech tools, Johnny English is an old-fashioned hero, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(suspect) of modern technology and not even willing to use a smartphone. That puts him in various dangerous situations.

    This wouldn't come as a surprise if you know that Johnny English {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(play) by Rowan Atkinson, who is best known {#blank#}7{#/blank#} playing his character Mr. Bean.

    Johnny English and Mr. Bean do have a lot {#blank#}8{#/blank#} common. As Atkinson once told the Guardian in an interview, “The essence of Mr. Bean is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he's self-centered and doesn't actually acknowledge the outside world. He's a child in a man's body.”

    And this is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(probable) why people all around the world can relate to Atkinson's humor. They want to be just as self-centered as his characters. And they don't want to care what the outside world thinks of them. They want to be different.

    Last fall, Florida State football player, Travis Rudolph, made headlines. When he visited a middle school, he didn't hesitate {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eat) lunch with Bo Paske, who often eats alone in his school cafeteria. Bo Paske is a young boy with autism-a mental condition in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a person is unable to communicate or form relationships {#blank#}3{#/blank#} others.

    Soon Rudolph's action {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pay) off, and he was just signed to the National Football League by the New York Giants though he had not been selected by any team before. Now Rudolph and Paske still keep in touch and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (develop) a heartwarming friendship so far. Paske and his mother were even invited to a large party {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hold) by Rudolph in West Palm Beach to celebrate the Giants' signing announcement.

    "We're all {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (extreme) happy for him," Bo's mother, Leah Paske, told NBC's Today. "We spent the whole Saturday hanging out with everyone to wait for the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (encourage) moment. And when we finally got {#blank#}9{#/blank#} news that evening that he had been signed, we were there for the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (celebrate) as well. When he made sure that he was going to the Giants, he was completely excited."
