Recently I have found many of us students spend too much time sending text messages or {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (play) games on cell phones, which has negative effects on our students and also does them to our eyes. Worse still, it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} waste of time. We have little time to communicate {#blank#}3{#/blank#} our parents and friends. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} do we have time for physical exercise.

    What shall we do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (improve) the situation? All of us should be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (full) aware of the harmful effects of frequent use of cell phones. To begin with, let's limit our time {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (spend) on cell phones and start other hobbies. And we should spend more time playing sports, which is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (benefit) to us. besides, talking with friends is also a good choice to help us relax and get rid of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (addict). I hope that my suggestions will be of help to you.

    Let's put down our cell phones and focus on {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is happening around us!

    Motto is a short statement giving a rule on how to behave , {#blank#}1{#/blank#} can inspire us especially when we are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (face) with difficulties. Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those who help{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.” Sometimes I am lazy and don't want to make efforts {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (work) hard, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the moment I think of my motto I will get energetic again and devote myself {#blank#}6{#/blank#} what I am doing. I write my motto {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me with much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (confident). My motto also makes me become {#blank#}9{#/blank#} independent person. That is to say, I won't rely on others easily.

    My friends, what is your motto? It is really {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (benefit) to you. So please choose one as soon as possible.

    An American in Beijing lives his Chinese dream

Gao Tianrui walks along streets in Beijing's Xicheng district as{#blank#}1{#/blank#}public security volunteer.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wear) his bright red armband (红袖章) and speaking fluent Mandarin, 62-year-old Gao Tianrui could {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(take) for any regular Chinese man. But on {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(close) inspection, things are not quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}they seem: Gao's real name is Terry Crossman and he is from the United States. He is now a member of "Xicheng Dama", that is, volunteers, usually women in late middle-age,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}walk along the streets of downtown Beijing's Xicheng district. Terry said that, at first, he saw the group as busybodies, but {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(gradual) he saw that it was a good thing for retired seniors{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(help) others.

He is often seen giving tourists{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(direction), getting water for a baby and even helping a neighbor sell yogurt. "I like helping others," he said, "I live in the hutong and my neighbors and I usually help each other ... This is where I live, where my friends are and where I call home." Crossman {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(become) interested in Chinese culture as a teenager when he read Tao Te Ching by Laozi.

    What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with "normal" faces.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the movie Wonder shows us that there is no such thing as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(base) on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (畸形) and has spent most of his life being home schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with judgmental classmates and learn to accept{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) as he is.

    In the US, most kids{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) that it is OK to be different. Most people in the US celebrate being unique.

    But some kids have difficulty{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) uniqueness. It's easy to pick on someone who's different,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(especial) if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(center) theme from the movie—even the kids {#blank#}8{#/blank#}pick on Auggie have their own personal struggles.

    As Auggie's classmates get to know him better, they come to find that he's a nice kid {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude toward him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

    We've all heard that breakfast is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} most important meal in the day. It may actually be true. Recently, a study of more than 50,000 adults aged 30 and older{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(find) that people who have breakfast are more likely to lose{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(weigh) than those who don't eat a morning meal. Other studies connect not eating breakfast{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a higher risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and so on.

    However, it's not just when you eat that matters, but{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you eat also matters. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(keep)fit, you should have a balanced diet with protein, fiber and healthy fats, which is the key to a satisfying{#blank#}7{#/blank#}nutritious breakfast . If you want to keep{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(you) from being hungry later of the day, you'd better eat within 90 minutes after waking up. Also, coffee drunk on an empty stomach is not recommended because it can be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(harm)to your body.

    There is an old saying that advises "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar. It is worth{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(follow).

    Maryland's Cecil County is home to many interesting parks. However, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is more mysterious and disturbing than the Perryville Community Park {#blank#}2{#/blank#}around 100 trees are marked by strange messages left by the mentally disordered patients in a hospital decades ago.

    Before becoming a public park, the land {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (own) by the nearby hospital, and some of its former patients carved their disturbed thoughts into the trees. Over time, the words together {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the drawings carved into the tree bark have grown larger, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(draw) the attention of curious passers-by. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interesting), even though the mark trees of Perryville Community Park have become quite popular among {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(tour), and even gotten their own Wikipedia entry, few residents of the Maryland town know about them and their history.

    Of all the phrases carved into the trees, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(strange) ones are "Christ said to police there was no Second World War," and "October 18, 1960 The City of Baltimore has not believed yet — Saint Callender — police. "

    The years carved into the trees date back to 1911, but the most {#blank#}9{#/blank#}.(mention) year is 1958, along with the name "Nelson Jonchou", which many believe belonged to one of the soldiers who {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) once admitted to the hospital.
