    This weekend I was delighted to show my parents around Seville, as they {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(come) for a short but sweet visit. Although the weather wasn't the best, we still made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} best of our time together.

    Being reunited with the people you love in a new place {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bring) excitement. Showing them around the new city makes you{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (extraordinary) happy. For example, as Seville is known for flamenco (弗拉门科舞), I took them to see a famous {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(perform) my friends recommended to me, which gave us such a wonderful visual feast. Furthermore, getting to show your visitors the places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (appeal) to you is a pleasant feeling, because you are eager to let them know where you love to spend your time. You are letting them get involved{#blank#}7{#/blank#} your new life. Also you have the opportunity{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (show) your beloved ones the new places that they may fall in love with.

    So, after a two-day trip, I feel pleased to have had the time to explore those {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(attraction) with my parents. I am already looking forward to their next visit {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I can show them more of what Seville offers and what I am still yet to discover.

    There has been many popular TV series recently, such as Nirvana in Fire (琅玡榜).Nowadays almost every family has a TV set and almost everyone is fond of binge-watching (追剧) in his spare time. TV becomes one necessity in our daily life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we all know is that TV has many advantages. For example, it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (inform) us of the latest news that happened home and abroad. Besides, it can broaden our eyes, enlarge our knowledge and also help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) to see more about the world.

    However, it also has some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (advantage). People waste too much time in watching TV, so their normal life and work {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (affect). What's worse, to those children {#blank#}6{#/blank#} spend too much time in watching TV, it can be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (harm) to their eyesight and health. As a result, they may become short-sighted or they will find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult to concentrate on their school work.

As far as I am concerned, we should take advantage of the TV and control our time of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (watch) TV In addition, we should choose helpful and instructive TV programs instead {#blank#}10{#/blank#} soap operas (肥皂剧) to watch.

    If you're in a hurricane(飓风)-hit area and plan on riding it out, proper {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (prepare) is key. And there is one thing you should have around at all times: a plastic water bottle. Why? When the weather {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) a turn for the worse, a water bottle is one of the most useful things {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you have in your home. It might even save your life. Severe flooding caused by a hurricane can make the local drinking water dirty with some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (danger) substances. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (avoid) a serious illness, it's best to store plenty of bottled water to drink safely.

    That's pretty obvious, of course. But keep those empty plastic bottles around after you drink, too, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they have lots of uncommon uses. For example, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} empty water bottle can turn into a water filter(滤水器) if you need to drink from the tap. If your lights go {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, don't go the old-fashioned way with candles; you can rely on your handy plastic water bottles once again. Simply tape a small flashlight to the bottom of the bottle, and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) plastic (and the water inside) will amplify the glow(增强光亮). Then the little light can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (use) to light up a room or send signals to rescue personnel.

    Out of the 20 little things you've always wondered about, one of them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (probable) has to do with the small {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (five) pocket on your jeans. By now, you might have given up on trying to use it since it's too small to fit anything you actually need. But why is it there in the first place? Well, today, it doesn't really serve {#blank#}3{#/blank#} purpose, but it used to in the late 1800s.

    Actually the small pocket is called a watch pocket because it was originally intended as a safe place for men to store their pocket {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (watch). It {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (date) back to Levis first ever pair of jeans, which hit the market in 1879.

    The Levi Strauss blog also pointed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that originally, there were only four pockets on a pair of blue jeans, the watch pocket {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (include). "The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket," the blog stated.

    So next time you find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you) standing casually with your thumb hooked in that small pocket, know that it originally {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (use) to store a pocket watch. And now that we've got to know the tiny jean pocket, find out {#blank#}10{#/blank#} blue is the most common color.
