When I left for the United States to study. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous because I was going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} new place with new people and new customs. I couldn't even understand {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they)language. Everything was different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my own country. There was nobody that I could talk to. I just had my husband, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was a new person for me, too.

    It was a sad moment when I had to say goodbye to my family and friends. I didn't want {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave)my hometown because I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(grow) up there and had wonderful {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(memory) of the place. So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think)about all these changes made me nervous and I was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(worry)about my new life. But studying abroad was a decision that I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge. I looked forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(visit)my family in the summer vacation.

    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”.

    Since the United Nations declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga in 2014，many cities in China {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (start)hosting international yoga festivals. Last year，for example，{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (celebrate)the festival，hundreds of yoga enthusiasts from India and China gathered on the Great Wall in Beijing. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (certain)seems China's enthusiasm for yoga isn't going to cool down anytime soon. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} addition to large-scale(大规模的)yoga festivals，smaller events are held in different communities，parks and also online across the nation.

    There are many differences between China and India when it comes to how yoga {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (practise). {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people focus on are meditation (冥想)and breathing exercises in India，but in China most of the time people just focus on physical exercise. Locations {#blank#}7{#/blank#} practice takes place tend to be different as well，since Indian people tend to practise yoga outside in the mornings while most Chinese practise inside gyms and studios. Indians start practising yoga at a very young age，so their bodies are even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (strong).But in China，people start at an older age，so they should pay more attention to safety. Like many athletic {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (activity)，yoga comes with some risk. As {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (it)popularity has gradually risen，so has the number of yoga—related injuries.

    To Be Joyful, To Be Young

    What really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle? It's probably not what you think. In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.

    Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. There's no point {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better, and quickly. When people eat more healthfully, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(quit) smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly. It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.

    When you exercise and eat right, your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons(神经细胞) {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(grow) that it actually increased the size of people's brains!

    Your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face {#blank#}5{#/blank#}you age more quickly. Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.

    One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than {#blank#}7{#/blank#}was objectively occurring in their lives. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(give) a questionnaire, the women were asked to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day. The women who realized they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒) compared with {#blank#}9{#/blank#}who felt more relaxed. Contrarily, some of the women who felt relaxed {#blank#}10{#/blank#}raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.

In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed.

I'm a single mother with a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}( grow ) son. I love him more than I can say. He's a good person, a great guy {#blank#}2{#/blank#}so many ways —- smart, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create), kind to animals, etc. We get along well, have common interests and enjoy each {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(other) company. The rest of my immediate family is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (die), and he is literally all the family I have.

The problem is that he is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}( turn ) 30 and shows no signs of wanting to leave home. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(do)move out and try the roommate route twice, but both times it did not turn out well and he moved back in with me. This wouldn't be so bad —- we do get along well —- but he doesn't pay half the expenses, or even a quarter. In fact, he doesn't pay me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (something) at all. My frequent requests for him {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(contribute) to the rent and utilities(公用设施) often result in losing his temper and yelling at me that all I care about is money. He {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (spend) his salary on himself: clothes, movies, computer accessories. It's as if he still sees himself as a teenager with an allowance.
