I had an impressive trip to the Huashan Mountain last summer vacation. The scenery of the mountain is so beautiful and so different{#blank#}1{#/blank#} even now, whenever I close my eyes, I feel the breathtaking scenery in front of{#blank#}2{#/blank#} eyes.

    Although the mountain{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (stand) just 2,100 meters tall, it's known as one of the most difficult mountains to climb. There are cable cars(缆车) to take, but visitors are advised{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) up on foot. Only in this way can you see {#blank#}5{#/blank#} special the rocks are and what danger you place yourself in. Climbers make their way along very narrow paths up the mountain{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(face) the deep cliff (悬崖), with the help of{#blank#}7{#/blank#}iron chain. Every visitor is required to wear a safety belt，{#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes sure that he can enjoy the fantastic view without fear of falling.

    Besides the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (nature) beauty, the Huashan Mountain is also known {#blank#}10{#/blank#} its rich cultural relics. The way up to the mountain-top is also a trip to go over the Chinese history. If you have never been to such a great place, set it as a must in your calendar of this year!

    I seldom thought I had a passion. I would sit before the TV all day, thinking{#blank#}1{#/blank#} nothing but the next shadow. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

    One day I went with Mum to drop my sister off at the gym. Then,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Mum stopped at a red light, someone on the roadside caught my eyes. It was a man{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(dress) in rags, homeless. That didn't interest me, for I{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(see) many like him before.

    But he man wasn't sitting down with a sad{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(express). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(merry) to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing{#blank#}7{#/blank#} he had.

    “Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he's homeless?” I asked.

    “He bought{#blank#}8{#/blank#},” she replied.

    “But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”

    “Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't{#blank#}9{#/blank#} only important things. We need happiness, too.”

    “I see.” The man must care too much about music, so he bought a radio instead of food and clothes. I realized that happiness is the key to life.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it, there's nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going!

    As kids reach adolescence, they often face increasing workloads and responsibilities but school still starts early. As a result, it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (report) that 80 to 90 percent of teens don't get enough sleep. This sleep {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lose) causes kids to suffer mentally and physically. But too much sleep also has its problems. According to Andrew Fuligni, a sleep doctor in a famous hospital,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} studies the mental health of adolescents, sleeping less than eight hours {#blank#}4{#/blank#}more than ten can make teenagers feel worse the next day.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (help) teens get enough sleep, some schools have already made school start later. They have found that the later times let kids sleep more. They also have seen{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (high) test scores and better graduation rates. However, this isn't enough. Meanwhile, teenagers have to help {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they). Fuligni suggests teens sleep{#blank#}8{#/blank#}10 hours each night for a week or two. This will help them figure out how much sleep they need. However, sleeping more on weekends {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) not a good idea to compensate for missing sleep during the week. Fuligni warns that getting different {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(amount)of sleep each night can be bad for mental health.

    To Be Joyful, To Be Young

    What really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle? It's probably not what you think. In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.

    Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. There's no point {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better, and quickly. When people eat more healthfully, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(quit) smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly. It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.

    When you exercise and eat right, your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons(神经细胞) {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(grow) that it actually increased the size of people's brains!

    Your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face {#blank#}5{#/blank#}you age more quickly. Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.

    One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than {#blank#}7{#/blank#}was objectively occurring in their lives. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(give) a questionnaire, the women were asked to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day. The women who realized they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒) compared with {#blank#}9{#/blank#}who felt more relaxed. Contrarily, some of the women who felt relaxed {#blank#}10{#/blank#}raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.

In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed.

    Beijing was once a city of bikes, the capital of a country {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as the Bicycle Kingdom, where cars were reserved for official and political business. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, decades of remarkable economic growth led to a huge flowing of cars in the city. Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (require) for marriage. As the economy boomed, autos pushed bikes off the roads, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic.

    Fortunately, now Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modem twist. Thanks to about 20 technology companies, brightly coloured shared bikes{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (flood) Beijing since last year. Many local residents welcome the shared bikes{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the flexibility and freedom they offer. They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop{#blank#}7{#/blank#} off anywhere they like, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a fixed place.

    Analysis in China say there are three factors{#blank#}8{#/blank#} contribute to the sudden increase of bikes: a lot of cash looking for a home, a good idea and government support. “As the city's population grew, traffic jams got{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bad).” Cai, the Ofo spokeswoman, said, “Shared bikes could solve the 'last mile' problem in{#blank#}10{#/blank#} environmentally friendly way.”

    Over 100,000 people took part in a massive parade at Beijing's Tian'anmen Square {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the morning of Oct 1, National Day, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

    The military parade began with helicopters {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fly) overhead carrying China's national flags. Fighter jets roared across the Beijing sky, thousands of soldiers goose-stepped down the capital's streets, followed by columns of tanks and trucks bearing new intercontinental ballistic missiles(洲际弹道导弹),

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was described as the country's biggest-ever military parade. According to state media commentary, some 40 percent of the armaments were displayed in public for the first time.

    The {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (celebrate) for China's 70th anniversary on National Day have clearly shown the strengths of the country's past and present, which {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （pave) a way for the peaceful development of Chinese society in the last seven decades.

    Witnessing the grand military parade with the slogans of "Long Live China" at Tiananmen square and listening to President Xi Jinping's speech were an opportunity to note {#blank#}6{#/blank#} this nation has developed remarkably with confidence in the system {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (adopt) under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

    Today, China is blessed with a spirited people, breathtaking development, a harmonious society and upraised international authority, making {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the focus, the wonder and envy of the world. The Chinese people are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (confident) about and more capable of reaching {#blank#}10{#/blank#} goal of national renewal than ever before.
