Young people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bear) in 1995 or later have another name in English — Generation Z.

    Now entering adulthood and soon to join the workforce, Generation Z grew up in a special period of time when technology developed fast and the Internet became {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (universe).

    It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (believe) that Generation Z is the generation that is going to shape our future, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is why policy makers are trying {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) best to understand these young people. Most people agree that the biggest difference between Generation Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who have been familiar {#blank#}6{#/blank#} social media as soon as they came to the world. It may be true that Generation Z-ers have a shorter attention span（持续时间）{#blank#}7{#/blank#} a goldfish does, but since they grew up among social changes, they are more active in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (political).

    Generation Z-ers are also culture creators. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (grow) up with the Internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression. These young people never {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (willing) let their creativity be limited by their parents or traditional rules.

    No matter where you are, humans are constantly measuring and checking time. Some of us are good at it—planning and doing things ahead of time,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}others are always trying to beat the clock and do things at the eleventh hour.

    Tardiness (拖拉) can be serious. If you{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) one minute late for work, would you resign? It may sound extreme, but that is exactly {#blank#}3{#/blank#}occurred in the UK upper chamber of parliament, the House of Lords, in January 2018. International development minister Lord Bates arrived one minute late, and, as a result, was unable to answer a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(schedule) question. Instead of trying {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) up for lost time, as many might do, he resigned on {#blank#}6{#/blank#}spot. He apologized for his discourtesy (无礼) and stated that he was ashamed. His resignation, though.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (reject) by the UK prime minister.

    So, how late is too late? Many cultures take punctuality very seriously. In contrast, others seem to view tardiness{#blank#}8{#/blank#} just the normal way of things. What is considered acceptable is based on culture. That is, if you don't mind waiting, it might be best to attend your{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (appoint) in good time. And if the worst comes to the worst, remember the old English proverb.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (well) late than never.”

    Xinyang Mao Jian is a famous and ancient green tea produce in Xinyang, Henan Province. The name can be divided into two parts that are associated with two aspects: “Xinyang”, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} first part, is the Xinyang city in Henan that produces this type of tea; “Mao Jian” are the words to describe the shape of the tea, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is small and needle like.

    Xinyang has a tea history {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (date) back to 2,300 years ago—in 1987, at Gushi County of Xinyang, tea {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (discover) in an ancient tomb. In the past century, Xinyang Mao Jian has been considered one of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (good) teas in China.

    Located in southern Henan Province, Xinyang is a place {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a mild climate and good conditions for growing trees that produce the tea's unique quality: Xinyang tea trees are planted at high altitudes where the weather is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (clear) divided by four distinct seasons. Moreover, the location is abundant（丰富的）with forests, clouds, rainfall, and with large temperature {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (different) between day and night. These geographical {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (advantage) help keep Xinyang's soil healthy and rich, while trees more efficiently（高效地）absorb chemicals {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (produce) quality green tea.

    A boy trembled in the cold winter, wrapping his arms wound {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(he) on a bus stop bench. He wasn't wearing warm clothes and the temperature was -10℃.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a heartbreaking scene it was! But the good deeds of the ordinary people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}witnessed the 11-year-old Johannes were both joyous and inspiring. A woman, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sit) next to the boy, discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (selfless) covered his shoulders with her own coat.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (late), another woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large jacket. Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs.

    Actually, it was a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hide) camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to collect {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (donate) to help Syrian children get through the winter. Synne Ronning, the information head of the organization, also {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（note） that the child was a volunteer who was never {#blank#}10{#/blank#}any danger during the filming.

    Last week, seven-year-old Charlotte Benjamin {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) a household name, and a hero to young girls everywhere, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} her handwritten letter to the LEGO company went public.

    In her letter, Charlotte complains about the lack of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (diverse) in Lego characters. Here's what she wrote:

    "Dear Lego company,

    My name is Charlotte.

    Today I went to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} store and saw Legos in two sections — the girls' pink and the boys' blue. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} all the girls did was to sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, and even swam with sharks.

    I want you to make {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (many) Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun, OK?

    Thank you.

    From Charlotte"

    Charlotte's dad loved her well-written letter {#blank#}7{#/blank#} much that he had it sent to the website, Sociological Images, which posted it to their Twitter account. The letter has been posted almost 2,500 times and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (share) over 5,000 times on Facebook.

    Yesterday, LEGO responded to Charlotte {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (state) that they would include more female characters and themes, and that they have added new characters to the LEGO world {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (balance) the appeal of their themes.
