We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (correct) and wisely. First, some of us are upset about our body style and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty that{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (matter). Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Faced with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends, I think being open-minded and friendly will do us good. Third, we may fall behind others, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to work efficiently, full of{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (determine). At last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn how to spend money.

    The "One Belt One Road" strategy proposed by President Xi Jinping has drawn public attention to{#blank#}1{#/blank#} oldest and longest trade route—Silk Road. The term in a narrow sense refers to an ancient overland trade route{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(form) in the Western Han Dynasty. This route stretched 4,350 miles from Chang an to western China, central Asia, and even to Europe,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (enable) theses regions to have better communications in diplomacy, business and culture.

    China was the first country in the world to breed silkworms and produce silk fabric. This craft skill reached a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(fair) advanced level in the Zhou Dynasty. As a major export to Europe, "silk" was used to name this great route by a German geographer. China's silk{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(introduce) into western countries through this old trade route. People were{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(familiar) with his product at the beginning, and made many guesses at{#blank#}7{#/blank#}it was produced. According to the record, the idea that silk was picked from trees was widely accepted by folks in Europe.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(garment) made of this fabric were always best sellers, and were considered a social status symbol. Ever the gorgeous Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, was also a big fan of the silk. This fascination led to an increasing demand{#blank#}9{#/blank#} this product, and promoted the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(develop) of this trading route.

    Few people I know seem to have much desire or time{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (cook). Making Chinese dishes is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners {#blank#}2{#/blank#} come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap {#blank#}3{#/blank#} can be to eat out. I still remember {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (visit) a friend who'd lived here for five years and I was shocked when I learnt she hadn't cooked once in all that time.

    While regularly eating out {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (become) common for many young people in recent years, it's not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be affordable but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (weigh) problems.

    If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum's home {#blank#}9{#/blank#} dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (effect) not only on your health but in your pocket.

    An Italian town will pay people hundreds of euros(欧元) per year if they cycle to work instead of{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(drive) their cars. The government will pay{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(cycle)25 cents per kilometre, up to a monthly limit of 50 euros. That means commuters(通勤者)who switch to two wheels could pocket up to 600 euros in a year. It is said to be the first such plan in Italy.

    Fifty workers will be included in a 12-month trial, which will use a smart phone app to record the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(distant) travelled each day. The plan is being supported from fines{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(collect) from traffic tickets in the town,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}by law have to be spent on road safety.

    The plan will encourage citizens{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(make)sure the area becomes more liveable. It will {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(natural)mean less traffic on the streets and more health benefits. A bicycle organization which helped to develop the idea, says it hopes that other towns will now follow the lead.

    A similar plan{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(introduce)in France in 2014, with mixed results. A six-month trial found that paying people to cycle to work did increase the numbers doing so, but the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(major) had been using public transport, rather than private vehicles.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}those making the move from cars to bicycles, most had already been carpooling (拼车). Private cars remained crowded in the Streets

    A man looking at his Smartphone while walking across a railway {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(absorb) in his Smartphone that he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(throw) him to the ground. This should serve {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially {#blank#}5{#/blank#}crossing roads. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(lucky), the man survived, but the incident forced the driver {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(stop) the train.  An l8-minute delay followed the incident, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

    The Smartphone {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( addict) has spread like an infectious disease.  It's evident that it will do great harm to society. What's even {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends. Some people blame the Smartphone for the sad story, yet in fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.
