Dear Wendy,

    Thank you {#blank#}1{#/blank#} your inviting me to go on holiday with you. I thought this would be a very good {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to see you again. I still remember the time when we chatted the night through,

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (discuss) our plans for the future. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that everything would be OK with our arrangements (安排) this weekend. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, one of my relatives, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  has been in the United States for two years, will visit my family this Saturday. My parents expect me to stay at home. As a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, I regret {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tell) you that I have to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our plans. I think we can meet during the summer holiday. When that time comes, we will be together again and enjoy the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (beauty) scenery of Wenzhou.  

    Best wishes

    Sometimes we have disagreements with people. When this h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the important thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated argument. Here {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my tips for you.

    The f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} thing I would say is that the way you begin the conversation is very important.

    Imagine you are a student and you share a flat {#blank#}4{#/blank#}another student who you think isn't doing her share of the housework. If you say, "Look, you never do your share of the housework.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}are you going to do about it?", the discussion will very soon turn into an argument. It's much more{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (有帮助)to say something like, "I think we had b {#blank#}7{#/blank#} have another look about how we divide up the housework. Maybe there is a better way of dealing with it. "

    My second piece of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a  is simple. If you're the person who is in the wrong, just admit it! This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. Just make an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(道歉)， and move on. The other person will have more respect for you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the future if you do that.

    The moment I was diagnosed with cancer, I decided that I would not let this "beast" win easily. I had no idea {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my treatment would be like, and I surely didn't think social media would be a way for me to conquer this "beast". However, by sharing{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(feel) on the Internet, I am able to remind myself, and my viewers, that everything is going to be okay. Their words are a big part of what helped me stay{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(hope). Besides, I have made several "cancer friends" so far, and we're determined to fight this battle together.

    That Beijing, together with Zhangjiakou, succeeded in getting the chance to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, speeds up the development of Zhangjiakou City. Word came{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(locate) in North China, is currently under construction, and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(expect) to be completed by 2020 in preparation for the cities to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Starting from Beijing North Railway Station, heading west through the Great Wall three times in the capital's territory, the project is a big challenge,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}designers say the explosions needed to dig the tunnels will not have an impact on the structure. The line has a{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(long) of 174 km as a double tracked passenger dedicated line, with ten stations situated along its route. Having a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}totally) investment of 31.17 billion Yuan ($5 billion), the trip between the two cities will only take 40 minutes, with the train{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(travel) at an average of 250 km/h. According to the plan, the high-speed railway will build two branch lines—one is to Yanqing Station and the other{#blank#}8{#/blank#}Taizicheng of Chongli,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the Olympic village lies. The full railway, which includes 70-kilometer section through Beijing, will be completed in four and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}half years.

How to Become a Morning Person?

You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.

Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something {#blank#}3{#/blank#}matters.

It's not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(become) a morning person is more doable than you think.

I first learned that mornings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer's schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.

Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Getup an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.

But many will argue：I'm not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they're spending the hours before bed, they'll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don't mean {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn't like in high school anyway.

A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.
