Once upon a time, there was a man from the State of Chu who loved his sword very much. One day, he was sitting in a boat{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(prepare)to cross a river, when he accidentally dropped his sword into the water.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}his ship moving fast on and the water running, the people on board reminded that he should go into the water to find his beloved sword back. The man felt in great{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(anxious)too. However, he turned a deaf ear to that and instead, he  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(immediate) took out a knife and made a notch(刻痕)on the side of the boat{#blank#}5{#/blank#}his dear sword fell. The people wondered why he did so. He said proudly the notch could help{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get)his sword back. Shortly after the   {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(arrive)at the shore, he entered the water just beneath the notch he made. Though{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(spend)rather a long time, he returned empty-handed. Without doubt, he was laughed at in public and his story became{#blank#}9{#/blank#}well-known joke in China.

    Today the idiom {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(relate)to the story is used to describe a person who stick to rigid rules without considering a changing environment or describes an action made pointless by changing circumstances.

    Since the United Nations declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga in 2014，many cities in China {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (start)hosting international yoga festivals. Last year，for example，{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (celebrate)the festival，hundreds of yoga enthusiasts from India and China gathered on the Great Wall in Beijing. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (certain)seems China's enthusiasm for yoga isn't going to cool down anytime soon. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} addition to large-scale(大规模的)yoga festivals，smaller events are held in different communities，parks and also online across the nation.

    There are many differences between China and India when it comes to how yoga {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (practise). {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people focus on are meditation (冥想)and breathing exercises in India，but in China most of the time people just focus on physical exercise. Locations {#blank#}7{#/blank#} practice takes place tend to be different as well，since Indian people tend to practise yoga outside in the mornings while most Chinese practise inside gyms and studios. Indians start practising yoga at a very young age，so their bodies are even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (strong).But in China，people start at an older age，so they should pay more attention to safety. Like many athletic {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (activity)，yoga comes with some risk. As {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (it)popularity has gradually risen，so has the number of yoga—related injuries.

    Eyes closed, she felt the cool breeze on her face as the car drove past the green grassland. The breeze gave her a sense of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(free) and happiness. The breeze suddenly {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(come) to a stop with the car stopping due to the traffic {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create) by sheep. Climbing out of the car in excitement, she realized she was in a new world in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} her only companion was the beauty of nature all around her. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(stand) there, she finally understood the meaning of happiness! She thought she was the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(happy) person in the world at that moment.

    In this fast­paced world, we've forgotten the simple pleasures in life. Just stop for a moment to ask yourself how long it has been since you sat down for a while, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(absolute) doing nothing but still feeling perfectly happy? People tend to find happiness in goods or {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(thing) around them. But the perfect place to start searching for happiness is right within you! True happiness is said to be achieved when we are the reason behind a person's beautiful smile and huge happiness!

    So {#blank#}9{#/blank#} next time you see someone upset or feeling low, lend them a bit {#blank#}10{#/blank#} your time and support. It doesn't cost much, but doubles the happiness in your heart!

Living in a city can be stressful. But people in Bogota, Colombia have found a place to help ease stress and get a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(peace) break from busy life. The place is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(protect) park for hummingbirds(蜂鸟).

The park is at the top of Montserrat Hill. The area{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (contain) a forest which has turned into a quiet place for both people and birds. As the hummingbirds fly from flower to flower, some people take pictures with cameras or phones.

"Sometimes it doesn't seem real because we are close to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} city with the population of 8 million,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} create noise every day," said Camino Carter, a caretaker in the park. His job is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(mix) water and sugar that is put in bird feeders.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(visitor) to the park can see between 25 to 35 different species of birds. But ten years ago, the hill was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (complete) destroyed, and no trees {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave) on it.

Luckily, measures were taken by the government. Workers began to replant local trees and flowers to bring the forest back{#blank#}10{#/blank#} life.

Presently, there are 115 species of birds, including 18 kinds of hummingbirds in the park.
