Have you ever told a story about someone but forgotten his or her name? Not {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (worry)! In English, we have special names to replace it, so your story doesn't come to a sudden stop.

    In the US, if a name has been forgotten, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (simple) say the name John Doe for a man, or Jane Doe for a woman. You can use these names for any situation where someone's name is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (miss). For example: “Did you see that guy who got wet {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the rain?” “Ah yes, poor John Doe.”

    But {#blank#}5{#/blank#} exactly is John Doe? The name is not real. It first appeared around

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} 14th century in English courts . It was used to protect the identity of certain people. Today, it is not used in England. Yet John Doe and Jane Doe are names used in legal courts in the US. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are used when the identity of a person must not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (give) away.

    However in England, unknown people are called John Smith. This is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} John has always been one of the most common first {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (name) in English. And Smith is the most common family name. So next time you forget someone's name, you know what to say.

    Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (destroy) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or roofs. One person was killed, several were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (serious) hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

    A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the morning and lasted for over an hour.

    “I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) with my wife and children,” he said, “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (climb) out but then I saw that one of my children was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss). I went back inside and found him, safe {#blank#}8{#/blank#} very frightened.”

    Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (feel) that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

    Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) food, clothes and shelter.

    Qigong,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) “Life Energy Cultivation” in China, is a practice of focusing on breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, and healing(愈合). If you have taken Chinese lessons, you must be familiar with Confucius, according to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}qigong provides a means to become a Junzi(gentleman) through awareness of morality. Taoism considers qigong to be able to provide a way to achieve spiritual improvement. Qigong is{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(traditional) viewed as a practice to balance qi (inner life energy), which is now practiced throughout China and worldwide.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a form of gentle exercise, qigong is made up of movements that are typically repeated, strengthening the body. Qigong {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(believe) to help develop human potential, allow access to higher degrees of awareness, and awaken{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(one) “true nature”.

    What makes qigong special is that it can be done {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(lie), sitting , or standing; thus it is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(access) for disabled persons, seniors, and people recovering from injuries. As a healing art, qigong practitioners focus on prevention and self-healing, which has been widely used in China as part of traditional Chinese medicine, and is included in the curriculum of Chinese{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(university). Besides, qigong is practiced for self-cultivation as a means to get rid of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}complexity of the earth.

    Generally speaking, joy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (express) by laughter. But as it turns out, it reveals a lot more than the fact {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you are happy. It enables listeners, even those who cannot observe you, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (realize) if you are having a good time with a close friend or laughing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (polite) with a complete stranger.

    At least, this is the conclusion {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (reach) by a team of scientists led by Greg Bryant, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} assistant professor of Communication Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers began by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(request) volunteers from across the world to send them audio clips(音频剪辑) of people laughing. The 48 tapes they received {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (range) from recent recordings of laughter between two college friends {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ones from conversations made ten years ago. The clips also had all possible {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (combine)--communications between friends, strangers, all-male groups, all-female groups, etc.

    Bryan says that the results of this cross-cultural examination show that people all over the world know laughter in similar ways.

    I believe doing good deeds can bring me happiness. I've been making breastpins (胸针) and gifting them to everyone possible and if you ask me why I do it, it's because {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the joy which just bursts forth from my inner heart. The smile that lights up at the sight of the breastpin is worth anything you'd wish for and it goes much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (far). From that moment on, there's a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (connect) between gifting breastpins and happiness.

    We exchange warm hugs, smiles and a million “thank you”. This hobby that has so at- traded me has opened my heart and brought me out of my cocoon (茧). Now, I don't mind {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (start) a conversation with a stranger, wishing him or her well and gifting a breastpin because I know that this little piece of art will do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) magic of breaking all barriers. We unite and share many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (story). And next time our paths cross, we greet {#blank#}7{#/blank#} smile, which is enough {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brighten) the day.

    This morning, I received {#blank#}9{#/blank#} heart-warming post on Instagram (照片墙) from a friend who I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) a blue and white spotted breastpin before. She shared it along with the shells collected from the beach. She loved sea shells and the colors blue and white. So, here's why I make breastpins.

    As we all know, we are what we eat. That's because what we eat every day has {#blank#}1{#/blank#}great effect on our health. Therefore, we should make every effort {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (change) our bad eating habits. Although baked or fried foods may be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(taste), eating too much of them will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (probable) result in some illnesses. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, some food that costs us a great deal of money and is not healthy is junk food.

    Compared with people in the West, Chinese people used to eat more grain and vegetables, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(little) meat, which is a good eating habit.  However, things are quite different now. With the rapid economic {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(grow) of our country, we now also eat a lot of food that is high in sugar and fat. We {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(run) the risk eating out without considering the balance of our diet.

The food we choose affects our health, so we must keep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} mind that the food we choose should give {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) the nutrients we need.
