There was once a small boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}would he wear what they wanted him to. He preferred unusual clothes, but above all, he liked taking his time. His parents were always in a rush, and wanted him to be much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (quick), but the boy didn't like this, and he would slow down even more.

    One day, his parents got so angry when he refused to dress that they told him to go out without any clothes at all.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (surprise), the boy followed his parents out of the door. He held a belief {#blank#}4{#/blank#}nobody could do anything to him.

    As the boy stood outside his house with nothing on,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wait) for his parents's car, along came the local pig farmer. The farmer,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}was almost deaf, had very poor eyesight. Not only that, but also he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(forget) his glasses that day. When he saw the boy's pink skin, he thought it was one of his pigs. Shouting and pushing, the farmer forced {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(he) into a pig cage. The boy begged him to stop but the deaf farmer couldn't hear.

    When found by his parents, the terrified boy never again wanted to be mistaken{#blank#}9{#/blank#} anything other than a human being. Now he's the first {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get) dressed, and always looks neat.

    Next time you sit down to watch a sad film, put the snacks away. Research shows that we eat up to 55 percent more when {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(watch) a sad movies than a happy one. It is thought that we eat {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make ) us feel better.

    With popcorn (爆米花) and ice cream chosen as {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) favorite foods by filmgoers , the situation suggests bad news for people. Researchers  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(offer) a group of office worker types of snacks while they watched the sad Love Story and Sweet Home Alabama, a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(cheer), funny film. Researchers said, “After the movies were over and tears were wiped away, those {#blank#}6{#/blank#}had watched Love Story had eaten 36 percent more snacks.”

    Medical researchers recommend that those not hoping to gain {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(weigh) put snacks out of reach. “Keep snacks out of arm's reach. You'd better leave them in the kitchen {#blank#}8{#/blank#}only bring to the sofa what you expect to eat. Maybe you can change popcorn and sweets to pieces {#blank#}9{#/blank#}fruit and vegetables. It's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (real) easier to become slim by design than by determination.”

    Lesson1: …The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Many of the cars broke {#blank#}2{#/blank#} on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached {#blank#}3{#/blank#} speed of forty miles an hour—{#blank#}4{#/blank#} faster than any of its rivals.

    Lesson2: ...Though she {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant {#blank#}6{#/blank#} served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned the shop the following morning {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other.

    Not realizing who she was, the assistant was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to serve her this time. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it.

    According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live three years {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(long) than non-runners. You don't have to run fast or for long{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (die) early by running. While running regularly can't make you live forever, the review says it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) more effective at lengthening life{#blank#}5{#/blank#} walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014{#blank#}6{#/blank#}showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cause).

    The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise… it's probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(strength)your leg muscles(肌肉),avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it's always{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(energy).If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a try.

    Learning{#blank#}1{#/blank#} new language is not easy, but a Chinese in Washington D.C. says he knows how to make it less {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(difficulty). Li Lei teaching Chinese to children says, “The magic key to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(teach) a language is culture.”

    Li came to Washington through the State Department's Teachers of Critical Language Program, which brings teachers from China and Egypt to America. One of the goals of the program is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(help) American students learn Chinese and Arabic.

    The program helps the teachers and students learn about the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(culture) of other countries. Li says learning languages helps students learn {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(much) about the world.

    Spanish is the native language of many of Li's students at Cooke Elementary School, so many of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they) are learning English and Chinese at the same time.

    Li {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(explore) the local Chinese community and many other cultures in Washington so far. He says the children at the school, some of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} are as young as five years old, might not remember all of the Chinese characters he teaches them, and that they might even forget his name. And he hopes that they will always remember him {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a teacher they liked and respected.
