This week, we're preparing for one of the newest {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tradition) events in our country: Black Friday. It's that crazy gathering of retail (零售)-related violence, a time{#blank#}2{#/blank#}stores offer once-a-year promotional sales to set off the customers' greediness and jump-start the Christmas shopping season with a sudden activity in a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (crowd) space.

    The general feeling has been set by the Hamleys Christmas Toy Parade in London, in which 800,000 people ran into Regent Street, apparently attracted by {#blank#}4{#/blank#}possibility of a “meet-and-greet” with Peppa Pig that sadly {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(have) to be cancelled at the last moment on safety grounds. As it was, a middle-aged woman {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(report) had to be taken to hospital after {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (knock) to the ground in a fight with another woman.

    For the people who dislike shopping, such as me, any day with shopping in it is a black day, and Black Friday is the most worrying {#blank#}8{#/blank#}all. However, I can see the reasoning for retailers. Why spend a lot of money on newspaper ads, when you can offer 50 iPhone Xs at £5 each to the first fifty{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(consume)? The related media {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cover) of the resulting disorder is, as they say, priceless.

    When I first heard about the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). I thought about something simple and straightforward — like a fragrant cup of tea.

    For centuries, tea has brought {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(culture), communities, and people closer together. In the past centuries, tea {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(connect) economies through trade and investment. The Belt and Road Initiative holds a similar promise, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}is about connecting cultures, communities, economies, and people. It is about awaking ancient trade routes and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(build) new ones. It is also about adding new economic flavors by creating infrastructure (基础建设) projects based on 21st century expertise and standards. Delivering on this promise is not an easy task, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}doing so could bring great benefits.

    First, high-quality infrastructure could help stimulate potential global {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (grow), and raise the incomes of millions of people. As the Chinese proverb {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (go), “To become rich, one must first build roads.” A second benefit is greater inclusiveness. Think of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(improve) roads in rural areas that can boost productivity and access to health services. By sharing the benefits of investment and knowledge more broadly, improvement will be {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(strong) and more inclusive. A third benefit is stronger economic cooperation. This would help boost global trade, investment, and financial cooperation, making {#blank#}10{#/blank#} easier to share the benefits of growth more widely. All this is good for consumers, good for productivity, and good for poverty reduction.

    Savanna, 11, is possibly one of our next great experts of the heart disease. After visiting her Sunday school teacher, who was about to perform a heart {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (operate) at the hospital, Savanna's curiosity led towards a deep appreciation of the heart and its importance to the human body.

    Encouraged by her parents to research further matters of the heart, Savanna learned that one in three of her peers (同龄人) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) suffering from childhood fatness, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} can lead to heart diseases. She began making YouTube videos sharing with the world ways to have a better health and create a happy, healthy heart.

    In 2016, Happy Heart Advice launched its Happy Heart Challenges, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (provide) over 300 hundred children and families {#blank#}5{#/blank#} education and free resources for healthy living. In June, she {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (invite) as an important speaker at the 9th Biennial Obesity Conference where she shared valuable information on how to form healthy eating {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (habit) and everyday lifestyles, and was honored by the American Heart Association for her work and effects in the health community at such {#blank#}8{#/blank#} early age.

    She's currently working on an app that will make it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(easy) for moms and families to shop for “Happy Heart-approved Food”. She makes it her life's goal {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) sure kids have healthy hearts.

    My dad is an enthusiastic (狂热的) runner who {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (great) influenced me when I was young. So I was very sporty before the age of 14. However, when my family move, my new school didn't pay much attention{#blank#}2{#/blank#} sports and had no after-school activities like football or running. Over the next few years, I{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(stop) exercising apart from during Physical Education lessons at school. It looked like I was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (health); however, I was not.

    One day, I was late for a bus, tried to run after it and in under a minute was out of breath! This made me realize how unfit I was. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (help) myself get in shape again, I made a(n) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (decide) that I would take up a kind of sport.

    A friend of mine suggested a swimming pool {#blank#}7{#/blank#} she goes to a few times a week. Now, I'm a swimming lover! I find swimming in the pool very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (relax). I swim for{#blank#}9{#/blank#} hour three times a week. I hope that I will soon start to feel the benefits of regular exercise, and will become {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (fit) than before.

    Are you sometimes a little tired {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time——about eight hours after {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wake) up——your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (follow) a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    In many parts of the world, people take naps {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the middle of the day. This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) true in warmer climates, where the heat makes it difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (day) nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (problem) such as heart disease.
