Well, today is the day. Microsoft is officially pulling the life support plug on Windows XP. And while the majority of PC user have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (obvious) moved on to newer operating systems(OS）, some people stuck {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Windows XP over the last 12 years. As is reported by The Washington Post, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} enormous number of government machines are still running the old OS, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} could probably create a security problem.

    Clearly, over 13 percent of PCs in the United States are still running Windows Xp, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Microsoft announced the end for support over two years ago. As many as 10 percent of US government computers, thousands of PCs holding sensitive information{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (include), will now be without{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (far) security updates.

    Yesterday, the Guardian reported the UK government has paid Microsoft 5.5 million pounds for a one-year {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (extend) of support. And if you think the problem is only at the desktop and notebook level, you can be quite wrong; don't forget as many as 60 percent of ATM machines in the US{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) still running XP.

    So, what's the solution? These business, government agencies and consumers will have to upgrade. And whether they choose Windows 7{#blank#}10{#/blank#} Windows 8, either is probably better than a security breach(漏洞）.

Jonny:Hey! I'm just practicing Tai Chi(太极).Would you like to join me?

Peter:I know nothing about it. Is it difficult?

Jonny:It seems easy, but you need a lot of practice. You just follow me like this.

Peter:OK. Don't laugh {#blank#}1{#/blank#} me. I may look funny.

Jonny: Bend your knees slightly and reach out your arms like tree branches, naturallyand {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (gentle). Try to keep your body straight. Move slowly , then be sure to keep your balance and don't let your body shake.

Peter:I cannot control my body well. My legs become {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pain).

Jonny: Keep {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hold) your position for a while. It helps develop your strength and flexibility. Raise your leg and let {#blank#}5{#/blank#} stay in the air for seconds.

Peter:I feel my legs shaking. I cannot do this any longer.

Jonny: Be patient! Tai Chi {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (call) “shadow boxing” in English. It asks you to act like water: to be flexible as well {#blank#}7{#/blank#} strong. In real competition, a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back. The harder you try to beat him, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more likely you will get hit. He controls you!

Peter:Unbelievable! Oh..., {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you don't mind, I'll stop and take a deep {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (breathe) .

    Thomas is an undergraduate student at Simon Fraser University. Three years ago, he was pursuing a Science degree with the goal of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) a nurse but was unsure of his next steps.

    One day {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he was attending a classroom presentation, Thomas learned about the YWCA's Boy 4 Real program. “It was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} unique experience to work with the youth, where you are giving {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) skills to prepare for high school.”

    Thomas has been volunteering for the program for over 3 years. His favorite parts {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) the community service and healthy living units, where he can share and apply what he's learning in university {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a biology student. The community service project, in which volunteers lead the youth of Grade 7 to visit a seniors home or collect cans for a food bank, is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) meaningful to Thomas.

    Volunteering with the YWCA has helped Thomas see the impact that can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) by him as a mentor. Boy 4 Real gave him a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (clear) direction of where he is headed professionally than before. Now he has made up his mind {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (continue) to stay at a school being a teacher after finishing his bachelor's degree.

    A film, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(release) in Chinese cinemas next month, tells the story of a former British secret agent named Johnny English, who has now retired to be a middle school history teacher. However, after a series of cyber attacks on the UK government, all the active secret agents {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(expose), which leaves the mission of catching the bad guys {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Johnny English.

    But {#blank#}4{#/blank#} films such as Mission Impossible and Kingsman (《王牌特工》), in which agents are all masters of high-tech tools, Johnny English is an old-fashioned hero, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(suspect) of modern technology and not even willing to use a smartphone. That puts him in various dangerous situations.

    This wouldn't come as a surprise if you know that Johnny English {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(play) by Rowan Atkinson, who is best known {#blank#}7{#/blank#} playing his character Mr. Bean.

    Johnny English and Mr. Bean do have a lot {#blank#}8{#/blank#} common. As Atkinson once told the Guardian in an interview, “The essence of Mr. Bean is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he's self-centered and doesn't actually acknowledge the outside world. He's a child in a man's body.”

    And this is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(probable) why people all around the world can relate to Atkinson's humor. They want to be just as self-centered as his characters. And they don't want to care what the outside world thinks of them. They want to be different.
