A CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among netizens by asking people whether they were happy. The responses to the question were various, even some quite funny ones {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (include). Although people played jokes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the answers, it did not take long {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they began to figure out the true meanings of happiness.

    It is certain that people's views on happiness {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (affect) greatly by their own life experience. Unfortunately, too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} decrease in the number of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth. Some people whose {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (intend) is to make big money appreciate being given any chance to multiply their income, believing that is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} their happiness lies. Some are eager to inherit their parents' property, especially those who {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) known as silver-spoon kids. Even worse, some would rather break the law to satisfy their financial desire or seek their fortune {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (legal).

    In my opinion, happiness is not about pursuing wealth merely but about admiring the beautiful things in life. Therefore, live your life {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the fullest and be happy.

    When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you can see a lot of people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(walk) with dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reasons why people keep a dog {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(change). In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other beasts. And {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(late) they came {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(realize) that a dog was not only useful for protection,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(permit). But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(important) reason is for companionship. For a child, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection {#blank#}10{#/blank#} friendship.

    The astronauts will spend 30 days on the Tiankong-2. They plan to perform {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(science) and spacecraft-related experiments and test systems for a future space station. In{#blank#}2{#/blank#}words, the Tiankong-2 laboratory will not be part of that space station. Its main goal is to practice the techniques and the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(technology) that they will be{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(use)to build and operate that final space station.

    Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or roofs. One person was killed, several were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (serious) hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were home-less after the storm.

    A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the morning and lasted for over an hour.

    "I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat) with my wife and children," he said, "when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(climb) out but then I saw that one of my children was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss). I went back inside and found him, safe {#blank#}8{#/blank#}very frightened."

    Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (feel) that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

    Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) food, clothes and shelter.

When the knife you're using cuts your finger instead of the tomato, you might think it is no big deal. A small cut will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) heal well without medical care but any time the skin gets broken, there is a risk of infection. Here's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to care for cuts at home.

Stop bleeding by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (press) a clean, soft cloth against the wound for a few minutes. If the wound is bleeding a lot, you'll need to keep up the pressure for a much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) time (sometimes up to 15 minutes). If the wound is small, the bleeding should stop in a few minutes.

Clean the wound. Run warm water over the cut for 5 minutes. Then use soap {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wash) the skin around the cut gently and thoroughly. If there's dirt in the wound, remove it if you can—a soft, damp cloth can be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(help).Cleaning the wound helps get infection-causing bacteria out of the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (injure) area. If you can't get all the dirt out, call your doctor's office.

Dry the area lightly and cover it with gauze (纱布) or some other type of bandage. A bandage helps prevent germs from getting into the wound, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}can help avoid infection. If the bandage gets wet or dirty, change it right away.

{#blank#}9{#/blank#} is also necessary to take off the bandage and gently wash the injury every day. Watch for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sign) of infection. If it appears to be worsening or becomes swollen or red, see a doctor right away to treat the infection.
