Many people may think the Forbidden city, or the Palace Museum as it's also called, is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} great, old-fashioned museum. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, in recent years, the museum has been working hard {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (promote) Chinese cultural heritage among the young people.

    The museum s online store now offers special cultural and creative {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (product). For example, in 2014, it{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (begin) to sell earphones that look like the necklaces worn by ancient officials , which even brought in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (rough) 1 billion yuan a year.

    Last year, a documentary {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (name) Masters in the Forbidden City became popular online. It is about the people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} job is to repair the relics in the museum. Many of these workers are very young and some are even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their 20s.

    Some other museums across the country, such as the National Museum of China, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(inspire) by the Palace Museum's efforts and are working on similar projects of their own.

    Yesterday I was about to go to the party with a friend {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I found a mobile phone by the roadside. After picking it up, I started searching the contact list and called numbers{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) whether I could figure out whose phone it was. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fortunate), the only person who answered the phone didn't recognize{#blank#}4{#/blank#}number that I was calling from.

    My friend suggested that we {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(go) back to the street and the house in front of{#blank#}6{#/blank#} we found the mobile phone. And we did so. I knocked at the door and two young men answered. Neither of them had lost their phones, but as I referred to some names {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the contact list, one of them said he also had those names{#blank#}8{#/blank#} that it must be the phone of one of their friends. Then, he took the phone and said how wonderful it was that I took the time to find the owner. Afterwards, I left without {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (leave) my name or address. I never considered keeping the phone. Instead, I immediately tried to find the owner. And I believed that was exactly what I would want someone to do if I lost my phone. It couldn't have been {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good).

    Sometimes, helping others is just doing the right thing.

    My name is Billy Smith. I'm 50 years old this year. I tipped the scales at 32 stone two years ago. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lucky), I managed to lose weight.

    I began to gain weight when my mom developed Parkinson's disease in 1992. I soon became her caregiver, and continued to provide her {#blank#}2{#/blank#} care for over 10 years. But when the pressure of taking care of my mother and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(keep) my job got too much for me, I began to skip meals and feed on fast food. I gained weight quickly.

    My huge weight gain caused me to develop high blood pressure. I also had {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(difficult) in breathing at times. In 2014 I went to see my doctor, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} told me that I would die within two years if I didn't lose weight. I didn't want to die. I wanted to see my young son grow up, and I knew {#blank#}6{#/blank#} was time to change.

    I started to eat healthy food and work out in the gym. Finally, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (succeed) in losing weight. Now I weigh just 19 stone. I had never been to my son's parents' evenings because I was so ashamed and scared {#blank#}8{#/blank#} my weight would lead to him being bullied. Now, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(look) normal, I can do the things I have never been able to do, but should {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（do） as his father.

    Adversity(逆境) can beat you down, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}probably it also has the ability to make you stronger. The impact and ultimate result depend on {#blank#}2{#/blank#}you do with the difficulties that come in your way.

    Beethoven composed one of his {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(great) works after going deaf. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote The History of the World during his thirteen-year imprisonment. Had Columbus turned back, no one could{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(blame) him. Of course，no one would have remembered{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, either. Abraham Lincoln made great achievements by his display of wisdom during the Civil War.

    Eventually，consider a more recent example. For sixteen years, Mary Groda-Lewis had a difficult time in recognizing and comprehending the written words on account of a learning disorder. She{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(put) in prison on two different occasions and almost died of a stroke when{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bear)a child. Committed to going to college, she did a variety of odd jobs to save money. When she graduated from high school at eighteen, she was considered as an outstanding and finally entered college {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success). Determined to become a doctor，she received many medical school{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(reject) before Albany Medical College finally accepted her. In 1984，Dr. Mary Groda-Lewis，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}was thirty-five years old then, graduated with honors and realized her dream.
