Happiness means different things to different people. For Mary, who has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} severe sleeping problem, happiness is as simple as having a good night's sleep.

    Bed was once a place {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Mary went to rest after a long, hard day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, she has not had a full night's sleep in almost six months. Her doctor said that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (count) sheep might help her fall asleep. She tried this, but soon got tired of it after it failed to work. She finds the nights without sleep almost {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bear) . She is always sleepy and lacks energy during the day.

    Mary is not alone. Studies show that more than one in three people worldwide struggle with getting enough sleep. It often takes on different {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (form) : some people can get to sleep, but wake up much too early; some get a full night's sleep, but are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (disappoint)  to find that they still feel tired when they wake up; others, like Mary, find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult to fall asleep in the first place.

    Specialists say that people should not worry too much about this problem. In most cases , a lack of sleep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) by anxiety and pressure. It is important to keep yourself {#blank#}10{#/blank#} good spirits and to be positive. 

    Recently Lindsay hasn't felt herself. She{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) a really good student, but her grades has fallen since three months ago. This is because she sometimes has trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(pay)attention to her study. She also refuses to talk with teachers and friends. What's worse, she feels{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(tire) all the time but has difficulty in falling asleep.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}she does is brought to her mother's attention.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, when her mother asks her what happens to her, she just says she feels like {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cry).

    As a matter of fact, Lindsay is suffering {#blank#}7{#/blank#}clinical depression(临床抑郁症). What is clinical depression? It can be described as a mood which is so low that affects your everyday life{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(serious). The first sighs of it in teens are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(poor) school reports than before, then learning difficulties and staying away from classmates and teachers. If you have these signs, don't worry. It is not so difficult to deal with clinical depression. There are many effective ways, such as medicine,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (express) of feelings, more exercise and a balanced diet.

    There has been many popular TV series recently, such as Nirvana in Fire (琅玡榜).Nowadays almost every family has a TV set and almost everyone is fond of binge-watching (追剧) in his spare time. TV becomes one necessity in our daily life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we all know is that TV has many advantages. For example, it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (inform) us of the latest news that happened home and abroad. Besides, it can broaden our eyes, enlarge our knowledge and also help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) to see more about the world.

    However, it also has some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (advantage). People waste too much time in watching TV, so their normal life and work {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (affect). What's worse, to those children {#blank#}6{#/blank#} spend too much time in watching TV, it can be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (harm) to their eyesight and health. As a result, they may become short-sighted or they will find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult to concentrate on their school work.

As far as I am concerned, we should take advantage of the TV and control our time of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (watch) TV In addition, we should choose helpful and instructive TV programs instead {#blank#}10{#/blank#} soap operas (肥皂剧) to watch.

    What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with "normal" faces.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the movie Wonder shows us that there is no such thing as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(base) on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (畸形) and has spent most of his life being home schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with judgmental classmates and learn to accept{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) as he is.

    In the US, most kids{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) that it is OK to be different. Most people in the US celebrate being unique.

    But some kids have difficulty{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) uniqueness. It's easy to pick on someone who's different,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(especial) if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(center) theme from the movie—even the kids {#blank#}8{#/blank#}pick on Auggie have their own personal struggles.

    As Auggie's classmates get to know him better, they come to find that he's a nice kid {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude toward him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

    With the passing of 2018 and Spring Festival, we{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(start) a new important year already.

    This year is one of the final stepping stones to becoming a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(moderate) prosperous society in 2020. Meanwhile, 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. To prepare for 2019, the government made{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(it) economic agenda (事项) clear at the Central Economic Work Conference,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (attend) by the country's leaders in Beijing in December.

    Great attention will keep on{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(pay) to China's growth performance in 2019. To meet the target of doubling 2010 GDP by the end of 2020, it needs to average about 6.3 percent this year and next.

    Meanwhile, China will host the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in April. At this event, the Belt and Road Initiative,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}has huge potential to drive economic growth, will take greater shape.

    This year is also likely to pave the way for a number of technological{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(advance). China is expected to roll out 5G, the next generation of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wire) technology, next year. It's up to 100 times faster{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the current 4G technology.

    It will be a year for China to reflect{#blank#}10{#/blank#}its past and future direction,
