One morning Wangpeng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) why there were no customers in his restaurant. Suddenly he saw his friend {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hurry) by. To figure out why Li Chang wasn't coming to eat in his restaurant just {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he always did, he followed him to a small new restaurant. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (curious) drove him inside. There Wangpeng met Yonghui, the owner of the new restaurant, whose diet was mainly slimming food to help people lose weight and be fit in a short time. After his research, Wangpeng discovered the weaknesses and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (strong) of the diets both in his andYonghui's restaurants. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drive) back home, Wangpeng rewrote his sign. The competition between them was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .

    A few weeks later, Wangpeng and Yonghui met again in his restaurant. Instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (quarrel) with each other, they combined their ideas and provided a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (balance) menu with food full of energy and fibre. Finally they got  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (marry) and lived happily.

    Anna lost her arms in a car accident when she was a teenager. What was worse, she lost her parents at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}age of 20. Her elder sister, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was ten years older than her, wanted to take care of her. However, Anna refused {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) with her sister, saying that she would take care of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(she). She managed to enter college and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (study) very hard. Four years later, she graduated and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) a job. Once she wrote {#blank#}7{#/blank#} her diary, “I am quite lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have my legs.” Anna chose to face her misfortune in a positive way. Instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (feel) sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us a good lesson. When something bad happens to us, we have two {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (choose). One is to complain, and the other is to face it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (brave). If we choose to escape, it will always follow us wherever we go. If we decide to be strong, new hopes will come. So choose wisely.

    Flying cars may soon become a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (real). The rideshare service Uber has asked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} expert from NASA, the American space agency, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (help) the company develop cars that can fly.

    Uber plans to use flying vehicles {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the future to avoid traffic in and around cities. The company wants to use small, totally electric aircraft, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} could take off and land like a helicopter on top of parking garages. Uber said its flying vehicles would be much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (quiet), cost less to operate and produce less pollution than helicopters.

    One person in San Francisco {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) on Twitter, "I used to think that flying cars was a ridiculous idea. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I changed my mind this morning when I sat in a heavy traffic." Another person added from Mumbai, India: "I'm reading about Uber {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hire) a NASA engineer to build flying cars, while Fm stuck in traffic. There is hope."

    The expert predicts there will be several early models of cars that can't fly {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) but with human pilots within one to three years.
