    Broadway theater, commonly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as Broadway, refers to the theatrical performances presented in the 41 professional theatres with 500 or more seats located in the Theater District and Lincoln Center along Broadway, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Along {#blank#}2{#/blank#} London's West End theatres, Broadway theaters are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(wide) considered to represent the highest level of commercial theater in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} English-speaking world.

    The Theater District is a popular tourist {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(attract) in New York City.

    As kids reach adolescence, they often face increasing workloads and responsibilities but school still starts early. As a result, it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (report) that 80 to 90 percent of teens don't get enough sleep. This sleep {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lose) causes kids to suffer mentally and physically. But too much sleep also has its problems. According to Andrew Fuligni, a sleep doctor in a famous hospital,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} studies the mental health of adolescents, sleeping less than eight hours {#blank#}4{#/blank#}more than ten can make teenagers feel worse the next day.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (help) teens get enough sleep, some schools have already made school start later. They have found that the later times let kids sleep more. They also have seen{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (high) test scores and better graduation rates. However, this isn't enough. Meanwhile, teenagers have to help {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they). Fuligni suggests teens sleep{#blank#}8{#/blank#}10 hours each night for a week or two. This will help them figure out how much sleep they need. However, sleeping more on weekends {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) not a good idea to compensate for missing sleep during the week. Fuligni warns that getting different {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(amount)of sleep each night can be bad for mental health.

    Choice of seating in the lecture hall can affect a college student's performance, a study suggests.

    Lectures are a main part of higher education, and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(understand) how students interact and learn within the lecture theatre environment is central to successful learning. Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (student) reasons for choosing particular seats in a lecture hall, and investigated how seating positions are related {#blank#}3{#/blank#} students' performance.

    "Interaction is a key part of learning and knowing who the students are interacting with can be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} great benefit when designing activities," said David P Smith of Sheffield Hallam University.

    Many students {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (prefer) being able to sit with their friends, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer's attention. Some students chose seats {#blank#}7{#/blank#} allowed them to see and hear clearly. But others {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (easy) picked seats that made them feel less depressed, they said.

    Friendship groups who sat together tended {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (achieve) similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges were likely to do worse than average.

    Lecturers may be able to use these findings to offer assistance to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (anxiety) students，and to support the learning of all students by encouraging interactions between the different groups.

    China has once again showed its ability to change{#blank#}1{#/blank#}world with its "four great new inventions"-high-speed rail, electronic payment, shared bicycle, and online shopping.

    China's new-generation high-speed train, the Fuxing Hao, is now one of the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fast) trains in the world, which can travel at a speed of 350 km/h. Apart from high-speed rail, the other three{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(improve) people's lives over the last decade. Bike sharing, for example, has made{#blank#}4{#/blank#}much more convenient for people to get around in daily life. When riding a shared bike, you can stop{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(buy) and eat whatever you want. What's more, cashless payment has grown into a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(choose) for Chinese people. Bio-payments are{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(gradual) replacing passwords to become the primary means of payment in future. As high as 60.3 percent of payments made by Alibaba's T-mall and Taobao{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(accomplish) by users' scanning their fingerprints or faces instead of entering passwords last year.

    The four innovative ways of life are most{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(attract) to a great number of foreign people, most of{#blank#}10{#/blank#}wish their countries would achieve great progress like China in terms of technological achievements.

Black Friday is a popular holiday, which is usually celebrated {#blank#}1{#/blank#}day after Thanksgiving in the United States. On this day, Americans all over the country rise at dawn in order to stand at the head of the line at {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(vary) stores, so that they can get deeply discounted (打折的) deals offered by these stores.

This day is called Black Friday because it is the day on which many traders "hit the black",{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(mean) that they start to make money after being "in the red", all year long. The traders used {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(write) with a red pen on their ledgers (账簿) to show losses and black inks to show gains. It is not how this holiday gets its name, although it is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(common) believed by the public to be the case.

Although this day {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(continue) to be a big holiday in the United States, it is beginning to lose some of its {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(popular). That is because more and more people are turning {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) attention to online shopping. It allows them to buy what they want {#blank#}9{#/blank#}convenience. As a result, Cyber (网络的) Monday appears,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is a day directly competes with Black Friday and may lead to its downfall.
