As is known to all, we live in a world of germs（细菌）. It is impossible to avoid exposure. Genetic makeups may give some people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} advantage over others. However, it does not stop people from becoming sick.

    All of us have been a victim of an {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (ill) at some point in our lives. Moreover, it is likely that we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (get) sick again in the future. Our best chances of avoiding sickness {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) by exercising and employing good {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (habit).

    While good hygiene and exercise serve as obvious advice to most people, eating {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (healthy) is not always obvious. If you cannot define “healthy”, then your immune system will be happy {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tell) you. The immune system is the foundation of our health. It works for us every day to keep us well. Ask {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you): “Are you making its job easier {#blank#}9{#/blank#} harder?”

    Like any system, the immune system is not different. It has a tolerance too. If you eat unhealthily, your immune system will make you aware of it.

    Take a step in the right direction {#blank#}10{#/blank#} including some healthy food in your diet.

The pickle (泡菜) jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser (梳妆台) in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss (投掷) his coins into the jar. It seemed that he was accustomed{#blank#}1{#/blank#}doing such a thing When the jar was filled, I used to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(go) with him and he would take the coins to the bank. "These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill (磨坊) all his life like me. If he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (work) like me in the future, he might not have a bright future. Good education can make a difference to people." He had the coins {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (count) and then he deposited the money in the bank.

    The years passed, and I finished college and took a job. Sometimes the job makes me tired {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(mental) but it is my particular preference. If possible, I will do it permanently in my life. Once, while {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (visit) my parents, I noticed that the pickle jar in my parents' bedroom was gone. My father thought {#blank#}7{#/blank#} very important for me to receive a good high education. He demanded that I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (try) my best to enter a good university.

The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we made an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(appoint) to visit my parents so we spent the holiday with them. Now our big family consists of five people. When Susan came back into the living room, she said softly, "Look". To my amazement, there stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cover) with coins. I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins.

    With the strong emotion choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw Dad who was carrying Jessica. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotions as I felt.

    China, which takes pride in inventions in ancient times, has once again shown its{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(able) to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. The “new four great inventions” are all related{#blank#}2{#/blank#}China's high-tech innovation(创新){#blank#}3{#/blank#}improved the quality of people's lives. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat{#blank#}4{#/blank#}I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong{#blank#}5{#/blank#}overseas Chinese student from Cambodia{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(add) that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”

    The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. It is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is partly because China skipped over the PC age and went directly to mobile. China has the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(large) mobile use in the world.

    In terms of the “new four great inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said, “These products and services{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) customer experience so far, improving national and global economy at the same time”.

    A material can be really special when it was named after the place where it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (create) originally. That certainly the case {#blank#}2{#/blank#} “china”. And of all types of china, white porcelain(瓷)is among the most famous.

    Nowadays, the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tradition)material has taken on a modern look in the  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hand)of four Chinese artists in the Modern White Porcelain Exhibition. And the key word here is “modern”. One of the works {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) a porcelain boat. But look {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attentive) and you'll see that the boat {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (build) with porcelain looks like a takeout box. Inside the boat is a statue of a baby. The baby stands for humans and the boat is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} supports life. It suggests we may have done some damage to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} environment and that we're treating life like fast food.

    All the four artists gave white porcelain a modem style, each in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they)own way. And this is what the exhibition's theme comes from. It's a dialogue between the past and the present.
