    Praise can change a person. It is true that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(encourage) words can turn our lives around. Praise is really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (magic). Perhaps many of us have such experiences. Take myself {#blank#}3{#/blank#}an example. I was very naughty in the primary school. Most of the teachers and even my parents were {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(disappoint)  in me. But it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happen) that I once got a very high mark in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} examination and the head teacher {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (report) this to my parents. My parents praised me and told neighbors about it. I felt really happy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} became polite to others. Every time I heard others talk to me about my excellent examination result, I thought to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I) that I would work even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hard) and make greater progress. Just as Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.”

Zhou Yang wants to be a journalist, so he asks advice from a senior editor. The following are their dialogues.

Zhou: How to work in a team?

Editor: Firstly, you should work as an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (assist) then you can cover a story and submit the article yourself. Besides, you'll have professional photographers with you to take photographers.

Zhou: How to get an accurate story ?

Editor: You need to be curious and ask as many different questions {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you can. What's more, you must do research to keep yourself {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inform)of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (miss) parts of the story. Don't miss your deadline ,don't be rude, don't talk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} much, but make sure you listen {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the interviewee carefully.

    I have been learning English for the last five years and one of the things {#blank#}1{#/blank#} has helped me to improve is reading. I love reading and often read during my free time. First, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (start) reading easy things in English, like recipes (食谱) for cooking and short stories {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) especially for language learners. Then I moved onto longer stories and newspaper articles. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} first I found that reading was difficult because of the variety of vocabulary and the grammar, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this soon became easier and I found that I could understand more and more of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I was reading. I didn't worry if I didn't know all the words, as I could still understand the main ideas. Reading has helped improve my English in many ways. I'm not only {#blank#}7{#/blank#} better and quicker reader, but also my {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (spell), writing, grammar and vocabulary are all much better. I think I have improved faster {#blank#}9{#/blank#} some of my friends who have been learning at the same time as me. So, I would say that everyone who wants to learn a language {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (quick) should read.

    Cards and digital(数字的) technologies {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(kill) off cash slowly, but is it a cause for concern? Not {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(necessary). Here are some ways of making the most of digital finance.

    Cash is no longer king. Over recent years fewer and fewer transactions have been made with cash. The most recent figures show coins and notes are used just 34% of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} time, down from 63% a decade ago. And usage {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(predict) to fall to just 10% in 15 years.

    Instead we're paying with cards and digital technologies. Some of this is down to user choice, with contactless cards and smartphones making spending {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fast) and more convenient.

    But it's also being forced upon us. Some retailers are refusing physical money as they can avoid the high bank charges levied(征收) at them for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(handle) cash. Meanwhile it's harder to get your hands on notes as cash machines and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bank) disappear from the high street. And these are trends which are likely {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) in the coming years.

    This could be bad news if you still primarily use cash, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that's how you pay your bills or how you budget. For some, cash is just what you know. For {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, cash is a necessity­especially when going digital is the alternative.

    As a result this move towards cashless society makes many us easy.

    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.

One question type that appears on SAT and ACT involves vocabulary. One of the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(easy) and most natural ways to broaden your vocabulary is by{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(simple) reading more. If the test you are going to take{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(use) texts from literary works, the best way to prepare is to increase your familiarity with these kinds of works. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(choose) a book from earlier times, such as The Great Gatsby and mark seemingly important words{#blank#}5{#/blank#}are unfamiliar to you.

Then, try to use those words{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(you).
