Why All Disney Princesses Wear Blue

    If they're not sleeping and waiting for Prince Charming to rescue them, they're busy getting poisoned by poisonous apples or being forced {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) heavy housework by evil relatives. But {#blank#}2{#/blank#}turns out that even the most laidback(悠闲的) beauty is supposed to send a message of strength to young {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(girl).

    That's because they all wear blue. From Jasmine to Belle, from Ariel to Snow White, they all wear blue. Far from stereotypical(老一套的) pinks, these princesses {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(dress) in bold aqua(水蓝色), cornflower(矢车菊蓝). Even Dorothy form the Wizard of Oz (绿野仙踪) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wear) a light blue pinafore and socks.

    Why? Well, blue is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(apparent) the colour of trust, calmness as well{#blank#}7{#/blank#} confidence. According to experts, we all have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}natural preference for blue, partly because of the sky. It's something to look forward to, to see that blue sky. It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(rely). It might cloud up, but we know it's there.

    Perhaps, Disney puts princesses in the colour to show that they're those {#blank#}10{#/blank#}are loyal and dependable.

    It used to be common to see US teenagers busy at fast-food restaurants cooking burgers and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (clean) tables, especially during the summer vacation. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, the scene is becoming less common.

    Instead of finding summer jobs, many US teenagers are spending {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) free time taking classes. According to The Atlantic, this change partly results {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the low teen earnings paying little toward the costs of college. For many students who are going to attend college, the money from summer jobs doesn't live up to their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (expect) at all. Meanwhile, US teenagers' increasing interest in education {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (account) for this as well. They go to summer school to learn {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they might not have time for after they leave school, which {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (consider) as a wise choice.

    Despite this, a summer job is still believed to benefit teenagers. Early work experience is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} human activity that develops people's social skills. When kids are working, they gradually gain {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (practice) knowledge and understanding of the labor market.

    Your teeth may be part of your smile, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they have a more important job­they are the first step in the process of digestion. You have three {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(kind) of teeth. In the very front of your mouth are eight flat, thin teeth called incisors. They are used for cutting and biting food. Next to these are pointed teeth called canines, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} also help you tear food. The remaining teeth are molars. These teeth have flat tops for crushing and grinding the food.
