When young F.W. Woolworth was a store clerk, he tried to convince his boss to have a ten－cent sale to reduce inventory(存货). The boss agreed, and the idea was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} great success. This inspired Woolworth {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (open) his own store and price the items at a nickel and a dime (角). He needed capital for such a venture ，{#blank#}3{#/blank#} he asked his boss to supply the capital for part interest in the store. His boss turned him {#blank#}4{#/blank#} directly."The idea is too risky，" he told Woolworth." {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are not enough items to sell for five and ten cents."

The earth's surface temperature{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(go) up by about 1 degrees centigrade in the past100 years. As a matter of fact, we may feel that we can hardly put up with the extremely hot summer and we can't get accustomed to warm winter. The rise of the earth's surface temperature has made much {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(different) to human health, the existence of creatures {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the balance of ecosystems. There is no doubt that it is human activities that result{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the bad environment.

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.

    In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap but not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rely). Things have changed greatly, though. For example, Huawei. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is one of China's major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in worldwide smartphone sales for the first time in June and July, behind only Samsung.
