Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, it is a useful way {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（release） their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（manage） one's micro blogs will take a lot of time and energy, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}should be used to study．

    In my view, I am in favor{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the activity. Today the Internet is playing an important role in our life. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this meaningful tool to communicate and display {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（us）.What's more, opening and organizing micro blogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a result, we improve ourselves while organizing our micro blogs.

    In fact, micro blog itself is of little harm．It is your attitude towards it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

    When I was a kid, Mom used to cook food for us. One night after {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (spend) a long hard day at work, Mom placed a plate of bread jam and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (extreme) burnt toast（烤面包） in front of my dad, I was waiting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (see) if he noticed it. However, while eating his toast. Dad just asked me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for burning the toast. I'll never forget what Dad said, “Honey, I love burnt toast.”

    Later that night, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to kiss Daddy good night and asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He gave me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} big hug and said, “Your mamma put in a long hard day at work today, really {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tire). Besides, a burnt toast never hurts but cold words do!”

    What I've learned over the years {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) that learning to accept each other's faults is one of the most important {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (key) to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship.

    The UN is an international organization which is made up of countries that want to promote world peace. Now I'm a Goodwill Ambassador for {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(they). My job with the UN is voluntary and I visit countries {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the UN has programmes to help people. When I visit these countries, I'm followed by the television and press and my visits {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (record), which will help people know better about the work of the UN.

    Recently, I traveled to South Africa because of my work with the UN. There I met some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (woman) who have organized themselves into a group. They collect about 1.35 yuan per day {#blank#}5{#/blank#} each member and add it to some money {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(contribute) by the government. With the money, they can afford 3 {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(acquire) materials and make baskets to sell at the market. If they are lucky enough, their group will become {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(large) and maybe set up a shop.

    Such programmes can change people's lives. There are a lot of other worthwhile programmes like this under {#blank#}9{#/blank#} umbrella of the UN that have helped millions of people worldwide.

    Apart from the urgent problems caused by wars and conflicts, the UN helps countries with {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(vary) other problems. To learn more about the work of the UN, you can visit the UN websites.

    I was traveling in a small place in New York. That place had no taxi for a short {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (distant). One had to take a rickshaw(人力车).

    I called out for an old man in the waiting line. Before I got on the rickshaw, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (automatic) asked how much he would charge to take me across to the Mall. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tell) “10 dollars”. Then I started bargaining. He just gave a hard smile and said, “Whatever you feel like, please give me. It is not necessary{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(bargain) on this small amount.”

    I was a bit ashamed at myself and kept quiet while he continued, “{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(like) those taxis, my vehicle does not run on petrol or diesel(柴油) or even gas;{#blank#}6{#/blank#} runs on my sweat. So please give it to me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a smile, for the money has to feed so many {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hunger) mouths at home.”

    When we reached the Mall, I gave him the money and the smile{#blank#}9{#/blank#} requested and added a gentle pat on his back. He smiled back as if to give me a receipt and I would preserve his smile for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} long time.

    A young man, while traveling through a desert, came across a spring of clear water. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} water was sweet. He filled his leather container so that he could bring some back to an elder {#blank#}2{#/blank#} had been his teacher. After a four-day journey, the young man {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (present) the water to the old man. His teacher took a deep drink, smiled {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (warm), and thanked his student very much for the sweet water. The young man went home {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a happy heart.

    After the student left, the teacher let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} student taste the water. He spat（吐）it out, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (say) it was awful. Obviously, it was no longer fresh because of the old leather container. He asked his teacher, "Sir, the water was awful. Why did you pretend to like {#blank#}8{#/blank#}?" The teacher replied, "You tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of kindness and love. Nothing could be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sweet)." We understand this lesson best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we receive gifts of love from children. Whether it is a cheap pipe or a diamond necklace, the proper response is appreciation. We love the idea within the gift rather than the thing.

    Since July 2019, China's online food-delivery platform Eleme {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (carry) out a new service of picking up garbage from its users in Shanghai.

    The service comes after {#blank#}2{#/blank#} recently-released regulation on waste management in Shanghai. Individuals {#blank#}3{#/blank#} throw away their garbage without being sorted out can be fined up to 200 yuan, while companies and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (organize) can face fines up to 50,000 yuan.

    The trash takeaway service requires residents to sort {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) own garbage before it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pick) up by workers from Eleme, who will ensure the waste is disposed of in the correct garbage bins.

    It's obvious that this service is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (convenience) to the old, especially to the disabled customers. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, many netizens on Sina Weibo don't think Eleme is providing a wonderful service, saying it just wants {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) money. They think 12 yuan for an order is too much. Besides, many more people doubt if these collectors will wash their hands after dealing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the trash.
