Motto is a short statement giving a rule on how to behave , {#blank#}1{#/blank#} can inspire us especially when we are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (face) with difficulties. Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those who help{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.” Sometimes I am lazy and don't want to make efforts {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (work) hard, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the moment I think of my motto I will get energetic again and devote myself {#blank#}6{#/blank#} what I am doing. I write my motto {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me with much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (confident). My motto also makes me become {#blank#}9{#/blank#} independent person. That is to say, I won't rely on others easily.

    My friends, what is your motto? It is really {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (benefit) to you. So please choose one as soon as possible.

    Just How Buggy is Your Phone?

    What item in your home crawls with the most germs? If you say {#blank#}1{#/blank#} toilet seat, you're wrong. Kitchen sponges top the list. But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices all day long, yet rarely clean them.

    In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during a widespread of the deadly disease Ebola. The phone's owner reported the theft before {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(die)from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms and finally {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(confess)to the crime.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in that unusual case a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria, not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look at the surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some dirty mars? “That's all you,” says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell. “That's biological information.”

    It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of your friends and family. They're like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues.

    In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants' homes, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner. In an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(early)study, a different group of researchers found that they could use microbial fingerprints to identify the person who {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(use)a computer keyboard even after the keyboard sat untouched for two weeks at room temperature.

    One day, microbial signatures might show {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people have gone and what they have touched. They could prove {#blank#}10{#/blank#} an unmarked device is yours. So, sure, your phone is pretty germy. Does that inspire you, or does it just bother you?

    Beijing's Forbidden City is a place full of wonders. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, it's no wonder it is one of China's most popular scenic {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(spot).But even more than 600 years after it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (build), it's still managing to serve up surprises.

    The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(culture) significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. While most structures aren't made {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (survive) natural disasters, the Forbidden City seems to withstand anything.

    To show how strong the ancient Chinese architecture really is, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} model of one of the Forbidden City's palaces was put to the test. It survived a simulated(模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale—equal to the  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (1arge)ever recorded quake. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.

    According to experts, the key {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the Forbidden City's strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lie)in dougong (斗栱)—a centuries-old building method invented in China. Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures {#blank#}9{#/blank#} were both enduring(耐用)and elegant, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show)their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.

    One of China's largest hanfu-themed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (event), the annual Hanfu Cultural Festival in Xitangancient town, East China's Zhejiang Province. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hold) from October 28 to 31 last year. According to statistics from the organizer, 157,326 visitors attended {#blank#}3{#/blank#} festival, many of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hanfu-wearing enthusiasts, called “tongpao”.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (original) from the collection of ancient Chinese Poetry Book of Songs, the word tongpao is-now used to describe whoever appreciates {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (tradition) Han Chinese clothing. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (forbid) during China's last feudal (封建的) dynasty，the Qing Dynasty, hanfu clothing has been little known {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the public for many decades.

    Nowadays, hanfu is making a comeback. Tongpao has risen in number over the past 15 years {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a worker in Central China's Henan Province named Wang Letian made a hanfu-style suit and wore {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in public in 2003.

    The tea culture of China is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（amaze） and has a long history. Tea drinking was widespread in China for about one thousand years before{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（appear） in Europe.

    Tea drinking in China enjoys wide{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（popular）. Many people today go to expensively decorated tea houses to talk business. However, tea drinking is very complex.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}pleasant experience of tea drinking is up to many factors（因素）. It starts with the surroundings. In the past, tea drinking took place in an environment {#blank#}5{#/blank#}people can enjoy antique beauty and natural beauty and relax{#blank#}6{#/blank#} （they）. Nowadays, in order to create such atmosphere, tea houses{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（decorate） with traditional paintings and furniture. Besides, there are often{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（performance） of traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as the guzheng, pipa and erhu.

    Black tea together{#blank#}9{#/blank#}green tea, oolong tea and pu'er tea ranks the top four favourites. The first three types of tea are processed using similar methods but pu'er tea is made with a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（total） different method.

    When Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to accept her best actress Oscar one year, her pink princess-like Dior dress {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (capture) in all its glory. The unscripted moment became hot topic throughout social media.

    That bonus air-time for a single dress at one of the world's global events is priceless for the likes of Dior, one of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (influential) fashion houses in the luxury marketplace.

    Success on the red carpet can earn exposure and profits for luxury brands for years {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come). The red carpet, which will be televised live before Academy Award ceremony, presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the fashion setting. The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.

    One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech, Dior had to pay more than $4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions. And this didn't include the time {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (devote) to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet. Lawrence, 23, had an advertising contract with Dior. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the group's deal with Lawrence affected its sales was clearly stated in its annual financial report. That year, the group clothing section's profits {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (total)165 million euros, up 26 percent from the previous year.

    Heston, the founder of a publicity firm, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} success stories include introducing Jimmy Choo shoes and designer Saab to Hollywood, believes that the Oscar red carpet is today dominated by established luxury brands. Finding it much more difficult to compete with big brand names to dress super stars on big events, many young designers turn to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bet) on promising rising stars, expecting an overnight success if the young stars rise to sudden fame.
