In many countries{#blank#}1{#/blank#} is not unusual for families of different backgrounds to live together in the shared space.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ，in the United States, this idea may still be considered odd.

    But this type of housing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) co-housing, is gaining{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(popular) in the United States, too. Co-housing complexes are popping up across the country. For many people, this way of life is a relief to the busy modern lifestyle. A co-housing community has{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(private) owned houses and shared land. There is often a “common house” with a kitchen and dining room, meeting room, and maybe a workshop of library or music room. About 25 co-housing communities{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(build) in recent years, and 150 more are planned.

    A co-housing complex is a place {#blank#}7{#/blank#} residents shop, cook, and eat together. Residents of a co-housing complex like its sense of shared community. Children have other kids to play{#blank#}8{#/blank#},{#blank#}9{#/blank#}many families like. Other residents like the feeling of living in a “ village”. Residents also say that they can live in co-housing for{#blank#}10{#/blank#}money than they would pay for nearby apartments.

    The Palace Museum received more than 17 million visitors in 2018, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make) it the most visited museum in the world. In the past 20 years, an office information network covering the whole museum {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(build) gradually. The museum has developed an App that provides an in-depth {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(explain) of cultural relic information and cultural services. Also, the museum has research on the application of VR, AR, AI and other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(technique) in museums.

    I crossed the street to avoid {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (meet) towards him, but he saw me and came {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（run） towards me. It was no use {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pretend) that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (come) with you. I had to think of a way of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (prevent) him from {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (follow) me around all morning.

    "Hello, Nigel," I said. "Fancy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (meet) you here!"

    "Hi, Elizabeth," Nigel answered. "I was just wondering how to spend the morning—until I saw you. You're not busy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (do) anything, are you?"

    "No, not at all," I answered. "I'm going to …"

    "Would you mind my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (come) with you?" he asked, before I had finished {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (speak).

    "Not at all," I lied, "but I'm going to the dentist."

    "Then I'll come with you," he answered. "There's always plenty to read in the {#blank#}12{#/blank#} (wait) room!"

    Soudee, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is a 24-year-old Frenchman, has already been at sea for two years. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (travel) along Africa's west coast, through the Caribbean Sea and up to the Arctic Ocean since he set sail from the Canary Islands in 2017. Soudee is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} only person on his sailboat but he brought along a pet hen with him. Soudee met Monique, the hen, on the Canary Islands shortly before he began {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he) around-the-world voyage. He told a BBC reporter that he knew she was the one he needed.

    While planning for his trip, Soudee had considered {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bring) along an animal for companionship (陪伴), but not {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(necessary) a chicken. Later he told the BBC reporter, "The hen is a good {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (choose). I don't have to spend much time looking {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it and I'm able to get eggs at sea."

    The story has also become popular on social media. One Twitter user wrote this week, "This hen has a(n) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) life than me."

    Many Americans put away their white clothes on Labor Day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} do not wear them again until the following May.

    One reason for the clothing custom relates to the season. In the United States, the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (month) between June and September are summer. The weather is usually hot in northeastern cities. Many people there historically wore light-colored clothing in the summertime {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (keep) cool.

    Judith Martin is an expert on manners, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} spoke to Time Magazine about the history of wearing white in summer. She said Americans in the 1800s and early 1900s wore formal clothes all year long. Wearing white clothes in the summertime may make people more {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (comfort). Then, in about the 1930s, wearing white clothes in the summertime became fashionable. That is because some wealthy Americans went on vacation {#blank#}6{#/blank#} weeks or months in the summer. The white clothes then became connected with ease, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beautiful) and money. But at the end of summer, they put those white clothes away and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (return) to their lives in the city, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wear) darker and heavier clothes. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eventual), not wearing white clothes after Labor Day became a bit of a fashion rule.
