In recent years many TV shows have become extremely popular among Chinese audience. Those programs, ranging {#blank#}1{#/blank#} talent or dating shows to reality shows,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (receive) both commercial success and public attention.

Their popularity is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (main) based on simple facts. First, they care about social concerns. Second,  without exception, they explore a perfect balance between the international forms and Chinese expressions.

    Despite apparent highlights,  much room {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave) for improvement. Above all, commercial interests often outweigh  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (education) purposes , causing many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (complain) about the unbearable advertisements. In addition, some sharp remarks,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they are eye-catching, may have misleading effects {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the youth.

    In my opinion, such shows should shoulder more responsibility instead of merely {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain) the public.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} is expected, these programs should be positive in their forms as well as functions. Meanwhile, the media should also safeguard the values of our society.

    “Be careful, doctor. I can stand anything {#blank#}1{#/blank#} pain.” When returning from the hospital, I thought about what my previous patient said. Aren't we all like that? We'll do anything{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (avoid) pain.

    We look for weight loss programmes {#blank#}3{#/blank#}don't require us to count calories or give up our favorite foods, and exercise programmes that won't make us sweat toe much or feel {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tire). We avoid the strict teachers and the tough classes in school {#blank#}5{#/blank#}we don't want to deal with the difficult tasks.

    When it comes right down to it, we don't like the hard work {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (require) to accomplish the goals we truly want in our lives. Why can't we {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(nature) take the path that we know is best for us? Our earthly nature is to avoid the pain of diet, exercise, difficult classes, and hard work.

    Only if we change our nature, can we choose the tough, troublesome, and trying pathway. Because it is in {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(face) the difficult choices that we will truly grow, and our being will be advanced once we decide to face the tough tasks.

    We {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(give) a choice when we comes across cur earthly nature. We can overcome the problems that challenge us or we can enjoy {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we) by avoiding all difficulties in following our earthly nature. It's our choice. My hope is that we'll step forward in faith.

    Once a man's wife adopted a dog. The woman loved the dog so much that she spent plenty of time playing {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  him. It was obvious to the man {#blank#}2{#/blank#}his wife preferred the dog. With time going by, the man disliked the dog more and more.

    Lake Hillier is a saltwater lake on the edge of Middle Island, a large island off the south coast of Western Australia. It is pink in color, due {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a plant that causes the salt {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(produce) a red color.
