"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small." "Nothing is softer and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(flexible) than water, yet nothing can resist it."

    These are the food for thought {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (serve) to Tube passengers at Oval station in south London. It's been 14 years since customer services manager Anthony Gentles {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inspire) to brighten up the "blank faces" of travelers with daily {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wise) from his favorite book, Tao Te Ching. Every day he wrote one quote on the board {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (him). Mr. Gentles said offering quotes from ancient China was his way of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (try) to make people feel more welcome as they braved the Underground.

    Thousands of quotes later, Mr Gentles' favorite message remains the first one he wrote: "A journey of a thousand miles begins {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a single step". "Because it's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fundamental) true," he said. "No matter {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you live your life, regardless of your situation, you have to take the first step."

    Since 2007, the baton(接力棒) has been taken on by his colleague Glen Sutherland, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} posts on the station information board have set off a wave of enthusiasm to copy the practice across the capital.

    Roofs and windows of buildings aren't the only surfaces that can be used to produce solar power. In China,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（construct）has begun of the country's first solar highway, in which solar panels are placed underneath transparent concrete.

    The solar highway is a 2 km stretch（一段）of road{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（lie）on the Jinan City Expressway, and it's divided into three layers. The see-through concrete protects a set of solar panels of two{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（size）. Beneath the solar panels{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（be）a layer that separates them from the damp ground.

    The road{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（it）has already been completed, and now it's only a matter of connecting the grid（输电网）,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}is expected to be finished by the end of the year alongside the completion of the Jinan Expressway's south section.

    This isn't the first solar road China has worked on. Earlier this year, the Qilu Transportation Development Group, also handling the Jinan Expressway solar road,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（build）a 160-meter- long solar road in{#blank#}8{#/blank#}city of Jinan. It has the ability of heating up to keep the highway clear{#blank#}9{#/blank#}snow and ice* and is able to{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（wireless） charge electric vehicles. The new solar highway is expected to one day be equipped with the same features.

    A 90-year-old has been awarded“Woman Of The Year”for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （be）Britain's oldest full-time employee-still working 40 hours a week. Now Irene Astbury works from 9am to 5pm daily at the pet shop in Macclesfield， {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she opened with her late husband Les. Her years of hard work have {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（final）been acknowledged after a customer nominated（提名）her to be Cheshire's Woman Of The Year.

    Picking up her "Lifetime Achievement" award，proud Irene {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（declare） she had no plans {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （retire） from her 36-year-old business. Irene said," I don't see any reason to give up work. I love coming here and seeing my family and all the friends I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（make） over the years. I work not because I have to, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} because I want to.”

    Granddaughter Gayle Parks，31-who works alongside her in the family business-said it remained unknown as to who nominated Irene for the award. She said，"We don't have any idea who put grandma forward. When we got a call {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （say）she was short-listed，we thought it was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} joke. But then we got an official letter and we were blown away. We are so proud of her. It's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wonder）."

    Has Jackie Chan retired? Surprise! He released a new film. A repeat of his action film in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1970s, Police Story 2013 is about a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (devote) policeman named Zhong Wen (Jackie), {#blank#}3{#/blank#} works so hard that he doesn't have time for his family.

    Jackie Chan said that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (physical), he had a hard time with the film because he did the fight scenes with real mixed martial arts fighters. "The fights were with genuine MMA (mixed martial arts) boxers, not stunt (替身) men," Jackie Chan revealed (透露). "So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} didn't know how to control their strength when we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (film) the fight sequences (片段). Those were rock-hard and solid kicks.”
