There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was started by the medical community(医学界) as a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—--the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required to process the food that we eat, to recover{#blank#}3{#/blank#}injury and several other bodily functions. When fat and salt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something.

    As{#blank#}5{#/blank#}result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) full of fat and salt; by{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have) too much of both, and this is not good for your health.

    Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American leader of the civil rights movement in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1960s.King {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (remember) for his non-violent protests against the unequal treatment of African-Americans. His actions led to equal rights {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (law) for all people.

    In addition to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (become) an activist, King was a scholar and religious leader. One of the most famous events related {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him came in 1963.That year, more than 250,000 people assembled in Washington, D.C. for the “March on Washington". King delivered a historic address {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) as the" I Have a Dream speech, one of the most famous lines from the speech {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(read): I have a dream {#blank#}8{#/blank#}one day little black boys arid black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

    King's actions helped pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.The law ended the legal {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(separate)of people by race in public places. Although the Civil Rights Act was important, it did not address all kinds of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (race)discrimination.

    Once I was playing in the woods when the sky started to turn dark and the wind started to blow. I saw a big black cloud{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(move) towards me. Suddenly, I felt the rain hitting my face! Actually, it was pouring! Then I saw lightning in the sky. And later, BOOM!!! A loud clap of thunder! Then I saw a little old hut and ran inside. It smelled awful and the walls were shaking, but it was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good) than nothing! Outside, the wind was howling and things were flying around. I just stood in the corner, cold and scared.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lucky) my dad came and found me. I was safe!

    US writer Margaret Lee Runbeck once {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (write), "Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but {#blank#}2{#/blank#} manner of traveling." But traveling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book.

    The movie {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (adapt) from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin color. These problems enable them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (form) a special friendship.

    "There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the time, said US film critic LaSalle. The time La Salle is talking about was between 1876 and 1963, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} African-Americans experienced a very different and difficult period. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws, which allowed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (race) segregation (隔离). But in 1936, a blackmail carrier named Victor H. Green published a list of friendly {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (business) as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.

    Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow laws. But they {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (probable) don't know about The Green Book. It's a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (forget) part of the story.

    When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children's birthday, but their children seem to be very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (forget). They seldom do something in return.

    Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) him at the station. On arriving home, much {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.

    Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(worry), but things may not turn out as badly as{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (expect). We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, "Life is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}best classroom one can never get."
