In recent years,sandstorms {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(occur) in China frequently,especially in northwestern areas, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}severe influence has caused wide concern in China.

There're several reasons for this.First of all,people are cutting down trees without planting more, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) some land become deserts.Another reason is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it rains less due to the environment pollution.

    To {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(efficient) prevent sandstorms,first,we should plant more trees and grass which can keep the soil {#blank#}6{#/blank#} being washed away.Second,more green fences should {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(build) along the desert, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}it helps to control the process of the desertification.

    Let's take action to do what we can {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(prevent) sandstorms from today.Soon the golden days we have been looking forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(come).

    In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear {#blank#}1{#/blank#} spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, we must be able to read the language,and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct.

    There is no easy way to success {#blank#}3{#/blank#} language learning. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} good memory is of great help, but it is not enough only {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (memorize) rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long list of words and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  meaning, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we are satisfied with only a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. "Learn through use" is a good piece of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  (advise) for those {#blank#}9{#/blank#} are studying a new language. Practice is important. We must practice speaking and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (write) the language whenever we can.

    Most students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good)than them, they usually believe that those students have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (change) facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(simple) the result of a high IQ.

    While your IQ tells you how {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(intelligence) you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovery, who {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (invent) the term EQ, gives the following description: At work, it is IQ {#blank#}8{#/blank#} gets you promoted. Supported by his academic research, Professor Salovery suggests that when {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(predict) someone's future success, their character, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.

    For thousands of years, fishes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (feed) the people of Peru. It was only when the industrial fishing boats got started in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}1950s that people lost interest in the fish. Modern fishery turned most of its catch into fishmeal(鱼饲料) for feeding other animals. In fact, most of the fish {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (catch) yearly around the world are for use other than eating, and 90% of them are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (perfect) good to eat.

    White is a researcher at the University of British Columbia and he spent years {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (research) into fishery catches around the world. According {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his study, about 27% of ocean fish which were caught became fishmeal or fish oil. Those products were used to feed farmed fish or used in agriculture.

    "There could be a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good) use of these fish," says White. Instead of feeding fish to fish, the fish could feed people, especially those {#blank#}8{#/blank#} need high-quality protein. But the reason why that doesn't happen is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) of economics and regulations(法规). In many places, a fisherman can get more money if he sells his catch for fishmeal than if he sells it to the locals for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} meals. And in Peru, a change in how fishes are handled could both satisfy the need to feed the people and supply the fishmeal industry.

    Every four years, millions of people gather in summer {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(watch) soccer games. This year, the World Cup kicked off on June 14 in Russia.

    Specially prepared for the most exciting sporting event, Live It Up, the official World Cup song, was released on May 25. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(perform) by US artists Nicky Jam, Will Smith, and Albanian singer Era Istref, the song has a line that goes, "One life, live it up,  because we got one life."

    With a great melody(旋律)and attractive lyrics, the song stands for "the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(excite), the celebration and the unity {#blank#}4{#/blank#} people all over the world would share during the 2018 World Cup". In fact, the relationship between soccer and music {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (grow) stronger and stronger since the first official World Cup song came out in 1966. As a newspaper The Telegraph said, "Listening to inspiring music encourages people to take more risks."

    One of the greatest soccer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (coach), Giovanni Trapattoni, even believes that listening to music can teach players great lessons. "It is the intervals(中间休息), speed, and rhythm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} help you learn the logical skills you need to read a game." he said.

{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（actual）, the right music can make all the difference. As Colombian musician Juanes said, soccer and music have a lot {#blank#}9{#/blank#} common. "You need your feet for soccer and you need words for music, but they make us think of one and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same thing— passion."

    I won't call myself the most accomplished person when it comes to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) chopsticks. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my technique looks clumsy at times. I tend to hold {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (I) in the middle, more like beginner than expert.

    Still, since I eat almost every meal with the eating utensil (器皿) of choice in China, it's not uncommon for a new friend or acquaintance to come to a simple {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (conclude) after observing me that my Chinese husband, Jun, must have shown me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to use them before.

    They are wrong. I've used chopsticks ever since I was a teenager, a time when my sister and mother were both fond of Chinese cuisine and introduced me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many new dishes, along with the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (prefer) utensils in China. We always kept bamboo chopsticks along with our {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (knife), forks and spoons, ready for whenever we happened to have Chinese food for dinner. It was my closest family {#blank#}8{#/blank#} observed my first mistakes I made in using chopsticks.

    Plus, I lived over two years in China before Jun and I started dating and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (expect) to use chopsticks in almost every restaurant, stand and bar. Trust me, when you're hungry you figure out pretty fast what it takes to down (咽下) {#blank#}10{#/blank#} meal with these utensils.
