Woman: Our design class is really interesting. Don't you think so?

Man: Yeah, I like Professor Vargas, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sometimes he goes too fast, and I feel like I'm missing something. There's a lot we have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (remember).

Woman: True. There are a lot of details about all the different styles.

Man: Yeah, there are Art Nouveau, and Art Deco, and Art Moderne... I have a hard time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (keep) it all straight.

Woman: I know what you mean.

Man: For example, it seems to me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Art Deco and Art Moderne are the same things.

Woman: Well, it's somewhat confusing. They were both popular in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}1930s although Art Deco came a little before Moderne. I think Professor Vargas {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say) Art Deco started at an exhibition in Paris in 1925. Let me check out my notes. Right, Art Deco was a popular international art design movement from 1923 until the 1940s, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (affect) the decorative arts such as architecture and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (industry) design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts and film.

Man: So, they were about the same time. It's one thing that gets confusing. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} thing is, they seem so similar that it's hard to see why they're {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (consider) different styles.

    Whether enveloped by the thick smog from factories or unseen poisons from vehicle waste gases, many cities around the world are losing the battle against air pollution．

    Somewhere, many people died from breathing in the smoke and harmful gases {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pour) into the air．In China and India, the damage of this poisonous air is particularly alarming, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(cause) three million deaths in those two countries．As a result, some out-of-breath citizens are turning to bottled air．

    Many companies are compressing fresh countryside air into bottles and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sell) it online．It sounds like a joke but the idea is to raise {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(aware) and it provided people {#blank#}5{#/blank#}fresh air at a price．One such company is Vitality, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} collects air from the Canadian Rockies and compresses it into container．Vitality started the business to sell the canned air as joke gifts at first．{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the products took off in a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( surprise) way then．So, the manager came up with the business idea {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they can sell fresh air over the world．The manager of the company  has  made {#blank#}10{#/blank#}clear that China, India and South Korea have become its main markets．

    As an old English saying goes, "Honesty is the best policy". It is more than{#blank#}1{#/blank#}old cliché(陈词滥调), but a good way to live your life. First, honesty is the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies. Second, honesty gives us much{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(free). Many believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (true) free.

    If there were two people standing before you, a person {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a record of being honest and a person who is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (believe)? I'm sure most people would side with the honest person. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we can make each day. The choice is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (you). What will you choose?
