It is hard work rather than luck that brings people success．Those {#blank#}1{#/blank#}are considered to be successful must have been working hard {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （achieve） their goal and their success can also benefit others．

    Some people argue that one can not succeed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he works very hard．There are many examples to show that success {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（come）from hard work．One example is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Madam Curie had been working all day and all night before she made the great discovery of radium．

    Other people think that luck and opportunity are {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （importance） than hard work．They argue that even if one works hard, he can not succeed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} luck and opportunity．For example, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} film star, Zhang Ziyi, could never be famous if she was not given a chance to play a role in the film．

    I think that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hard work and good luck are important．If one wants to be successful, he has to work hard on one hand and he has to seize the opportunity and luck on the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}．These two factors are important for one's success．

    The word Nushu literally means "women's writing" in Chinese: As the name suggests, Nushu is created and specially used by women.

    Often {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（call） "the world's only surviving characters for women", these slim words were developed from standard written Chinese. In the old days, Nushu {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（teach）by elderly women to girls at home because female children weren't allowed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（attend）formal school. During gatherings in villages, women used the characters to write poems or song lyrics to express their emotions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hidden from men. The words were full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at that time.

    Ji Xianlin once said that Nushu is a feminist（女权主义者）symbol. "It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} unique writing system created by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（talent）women who were deprived（剥夺）of the right to education," he wrote in an article. "It has significance in various {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（field）and represents Chinese people's strong spirit."

    Nushu was made as a national cultural heritage in 2006. However, it is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（wide）used in daily life today. In fact, it is a dying language. Now linguists are taking action to prevent this incredible cultural heritage from {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（disappear）.

    Confucius（孔子） is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#} setting the tone for much traditional Chinese music for thousands of years. He{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（think） to be a music teacher and a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （talent） musician who was able to play several instruments expertly. Perhaps for other people around the world, music was meant mainly for amusement. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500BC, music had an important role in making society stable.

    How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（educate） somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.

    Musical knowledge was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（subject） to study, ranking music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.

    Music was so important because the ideal society was to be governed by ritual （礼制） functions, but not by law. In a culture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people function according to ritual, music is used to help govern them. So music wasn't really {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（entertain）, but a means for musicians to accomplish political and social goals. Music is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（eventual） a means for social happiness.

    When you're a teenager, it's usual to feel like your parents are{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(constant) giving you a hard time, which makes you {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(confuse) However, maybe you should try putting yourself in their shoes once in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} while because, according to a recent study, parents with teenage children have a lot to put up{#blank#}4{#/blank#} . In the study, 2,000 parents of teenager children {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ask) at which age their children had been hardest to raise. It turns out {#blank#}6{#/blank#} 14-year-old girls are the biggest source of parental stress. When {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) why teenage girls were so hard to bring up, parents talked about their wildly-changing moods. Teenage boys were more likely to worry their parents by refusing to communicate properly. Most parents agreed that girls matured {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fast) than boys, which makes girls harder{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (handle) due to their greater desire for independence. If you disagree with these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (find), maybe you should reserve your judgment until you have teenage children of your own!
