Some theme parks are not only amusing but also educational. Take the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) in Hawaii for example. It not only shows visitors the Polynesian way of life but also protects their skills{#blank#}1{#/blank#}culture for the future. Polynesian is the name{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(give) to the many groups of small islands that are spread about the Pacific Ocean.

    The PCC{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(set) in 42 acres of beautiful countryside{#blank#}4{#/blank#}visitors can see seven different traditional Polynesian island villages. Villagers from many island communities come{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(show) visitors their styles of dress and different customs. For example, you can see{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(difference) skills of the villagers. You can learn{#blank#}7{#/blank#}they make clothes from bark(树皮) and how they climb very tall trees {#blank#}8{#/blank#}their bare feet or see{#blank#}9{#/blank#}kind of wedding ceremonies they have. They also tell you about their{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(society) customs and show you their cooking methods and their dances.

    Everyone has dreams, but not all dreams can be realized. People give up their dreams for this or that reason. Those {#blank#}1{#/blank#} dreams become true have one thing in common, that is, they insist on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (work) for their dreams.

    Marie Curie, a famous scientist, has set {#blank#}3{#/blank#} good example. In 1898, Marie {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (find) a new element (元素) in the pitchblende (沥青铀矿). {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (prove) her discovery, she had to show it to the world, which also became her dream. After using tons of pitchblende, Marie and her husband {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (final) saw the blue light of radium (镭). There are many other examples. Athletes who gain gold medals and students who enter key universities after {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (year) of hard work, are all dream-holders.

    The path to dreams may not be smooth and the progress may be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pain). But hold on to your dreams, no matter {#blank#}9{#/blank#} big or small they are. Hold on to the end, and you will find there is nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (happy) than your dreams coming true.

    Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That's because they follow what is called the "996" work schedule (时间表) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.

    The "996" work schedule has recently become a hot topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called "996.ICU". According to the website, working a "996" schedule {#blank#}2{#/blank#} enough rest is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU,重症监护病房). This work schedule is now widely used at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, New York Times reported. It causes many tech industry workers to complain. One worker from Baidu company said, "I know I am not the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} worker who works overtime I have worked ‘996' for nine months and I haven't received any overtime pay. It's unfair though quite common." Another worker named Zhang told Quartz, "I can't sleep well and become ill because of the great pressure. I feel really tired, so I am considering giving up this job and looking for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}."

    However, the bosses of some tech companies have supported "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's "a huge treasure" for young workers to work "996". "If you don't put more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don't work ‘996' when you're young, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} will you?" he said.

    Many have questioned Ma's words. In a passage in People's Daily, one writer said "Working ‘996' is just working overtime. However, working overtime does not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} working hard. Working hard requires efforts and working wisely and effectively."

    A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to use a compulsory (强制的) "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more than forty-four hours a week.

    One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, "Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much {#blank#}2{#/blank#}too little.

    His son looked surprised. "I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}not save a bit of money?

    "That would be a very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (us), Nick said.

    Nick's guests, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, "The only reason a man would sell salt {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect for the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

    "But such a small thing couldn't {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (possible) destroy a village."

    "In the beginning, there was only {#blank#}9{#/blank#}very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today."
