I love reading. At age 6, I could be found reading Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old but I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(enjoy) it all the same. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} soon became obvious that spelling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is one way I benefited {#blank#}3{#/blank#} reading at such a young age.

    My advice for you as English learners would be to read the English novels {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you have often read in your native language. Reading novels is a great way of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(improve) your vocabulary and spelling without realising it as you are absorbed（全神贯注的）in the storyline. You know the sorry well, so its {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(usual) easy to follow it in English even if you do not understand every word.

    This is another essential（基本的）point: it's not necessary {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(understand) every word. If you understand the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(mean) of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Quite often, if a word is used several times in a text, you'll gradually get an idea of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it means.

    Give it a try. If you like reading yon could open up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} whole new world of literature.

It is widely accepted that optimistic attitudes promote health as well as happiness. The secret of a long life is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (universe) desired and has long been sought. Today we can reveal it: always look on the bright side. A huge research project {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lead) by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine concludes that optimists live {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (long).

Lewina Lee, lead author of the study, said, "A lot of evidence {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (suggest) that exceptional longevity(长寿) is widely accompanied by a longer span of good health and living {#blank#}5{#/blank#} disability. Therefore our findings raise an exciting possibility {#blank#}6{#/blank#} we may be able to promote health and happiness by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (develop) positive attitudes such as optimism."

However, the study doesn't suggest that we should aim for great pleasure. Sadness is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} important part of the human condition. Any normal person sometimes experience disappointment, ambitions and the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (lose) of loved ones. But for many people, these matters of human existence {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (transform) into an abnormal state of despair. There is a vital place in public health for providing mental treatment in helping to correct these cognitive errors. It is not weakness to be defeated by setbacks. It is merely a mistake.
