Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that inspires a love for reading and builds community. It is also referred to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} neighborhood book exchanges around the world. This is a creative idea {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) up by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks in 2009, which seeks {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (put) small book exchange boxes right in front of a house or on a street corner to offer free books to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (member) of the local community. Mini libraries of all shapes and sizes exist, from a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bright) painted wooden house to a library based on Doctor Who's TARDIS.

     {#blank#}6{#/blank#} makes the idea so special? Their website states: "Little Free Libraries have a unique, personal touch and there is an understanding that people are sharing their favorite books with their community. These are not just any old books {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a carefully organized collection. Besides, the library {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) is a piece of neighborhood art!"

    Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (exchange) each year among readers of all ages and backgrounds. They also play an important role in remote areas by {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (provide) access to books and encouraging a love for reading.

    Wang Peng felt very frustrated when he saw none of his patrons (常客) would eat in his restaurant as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( usually). In his opinion, nothing could be {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good)than his fried , mutton kebabs , fatty pork or his sugary cola . Who won his customers? He followed one of his best {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(friend) into Yong Hui's newly-opened slimming restaurant and was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(amaze) at the menu there :raw vegetables , fruit and water . {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was obvious that Yong Hui was telling lies when promising to make the customers thinner. In order to win his customers {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, he went to the library to do some research, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}showed Yong Hui's menu didn't give the customers energy-giving food .Having found out the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(weak ) of Yong Hui's menu , Wang Peng wrote his own sign ,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(say) energy-giving food served. In fact, there was weakness in Wang Peng's menus, too .Food at his restaurant {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(contain) too much fat . So the only solution is to combine the two menus together to be a balanced menu.

    Members of the post﹣1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs. They are particular about employment and it was common for them  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（break）appointments for job interviews.

    The only child is characteristic of the most of the families since 1990. His or her living conditions have  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (great) improved from those of the post﹣1980 and post﹣1970 generations. They don't experience much pressure in life so they pay closer attention to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(person) preferences and interests when {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hunt) for a job. They also does not care about the amount of money they make. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}，the working environment，the happiness they get from their work and respect from others are the things {#blank#}6{#/blank#}matter most.

    As the saying goes，second {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(think) are best. The post﹣1990generation does not think twice about leaving in their first year of work. If they lose interest in a job or are not clear about their future career path, they {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(quit) easily.

    Members of the generation are also more self﹣centered. They want more time for{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) and are not willing to work overtime. Their attitude to life is more casual.

    This generation is very sensitive and has a lot of self﹣respect,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the employers need to be concerned about their temperaments（性情）and ways of communication.

    When Sandra was a child, her family was very poor, but she wanted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bad) to believe that her poverty was just a temporary situation, so she looked toward stories {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (escape). Her favorite book {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (check) out of the library over and over again was called The little house. Throughout Sandra's life, she had to move between cities, never {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (allow) her much time to get settled in one place. Her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (separate) from family drove her to burying herself in books. Though reading a lot, according to Sandra, she didn't really start writing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she attended her first creative writing class in college. She then realized that she needed to write what she knew, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} purpose she adopted a writing style opposite to that of her classmates. Admission to Loyola University {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she earned a BA in English was a turning point for her. Sandra's writing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (shape) by her experiences since then. She doesn't just make up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (character), but writes about real people that she has encountered.

    Every country shares things{#blank#}1{#/blank#} common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(festival) and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One characteristic that is famous of British people{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery (自嘲). This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: "I am on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it." This is{#blank#}4{#/blank#} well-known self-mockery joke. It's difficult why self-mockery{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tie) to the British people. But every nation's sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(mean) not talking openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar with people in China,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} modesty plays a big part in daily life. It also acts as a defense of our self-respect by playing down our skills, this can{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(less) the chance of people criticizing us. Another possible reason is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} the British people do not take themselves too{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(serious).
