If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is Wikipedia. This online encyclopedia is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (write) by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they are not university professors.

    What is more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 253 languages. This fact makes it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the few websites (网站) on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( put on) Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles are in English. Wikipedia is also a place {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people can find the latest news.

    However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate and some important subjects are not included. This has led to arguments between the writers of the articles. The people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) Wikipedia say that the accuracy of the information is improving and that it is one of the top 20 visited websites on the Internet.

    So, if you are looking for some information, why not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (try) Wikipedia?

    You will meet many people in school, in college and at work. They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes. To them, life is a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(compete)—they have to do{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good)than their peer(同龄人)to be happy.

Here's a secret: life isn't a match. It's a journey. If you spend it always {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(try) to impress others, you're wasting your life. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of happiness of continual improvement, and filled{#blank#}4{#/blank#}love.

    Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even{#blank#}5{#/blank#} better-paying job. None of them matters, and none of them will make you happier. You'll acquire these{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(thing) and then only want more. Instead, learn to be{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(satisfy) with having enough and then use the time {#blank#}8{#/blank#}would have been wasted to try to earn money to buy those things.

    Find your passion, and go after it{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(constant). Don't work for only paying the bills. Life is too short {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(waste) on a job you hate.

In order to offer him more convenience, his mother bought him a robot{#blank#}3{#/blank#} name is Jimmy yesterday. Jimmy accompanies Tom every day after his parents leave for work,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（take）care of him. Tom suffers from a rare disease. He can't stand up.  Instead, he has to sit on an armchair all the day. Jimmy shows sympathy to Tom and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(try) his best to make him happy. Some days ago, he took Tom to the park. He tried to protect him from {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(harm). He gave Tom encouragement to have a try to walk. So Tom {#blank#}7{#/blank#} But to Jimmy's disappointment, Tom fell on the ground, causing some other boys nearby to make fun {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him. “Don't laugh at the disabled!” Jimmy turned around, warning those boys. They felt sorry and ran away immediately. The next day, Jimmy took Tom to the park once again. This time, Tom was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (adapt) to the circumstance and didn't feel clumsy any longer.

Tim: Jeff, do you prefer working in a group or working alone?

Jeff: I'm good at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) by myself because if I am doing something I like, I can get it{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(do) quickly. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, if I am working with a team where people all want to do a good job, I think{#blank#}4{#/blank#} team is fun.

Tim: Do you prefer working wearing a uniform or putting whatever you want?

Jeff: I think {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you wear a uniform, sometimes you get respect.

Tim: So, how about a working schedule? Would you prefer a set time job?

Jeff: No. I think {#blank#}6{#/blank#}is difficult to do a set time job. Last year, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(produce) furniture in a factory. Every morning, I had to get up at six. When I got home{#blank#}8{#/blank#} work, it was almost eight.

Tim: You{#blank#}9{#/blank#} be very tired. By the way, do you prefer being paid by the hour or do you prefer salary?

Jeff: I think salary may be a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) way to go than being paid by the hour.

    When I was a university student, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (attract) by the Chinese. So I got a job as a teacher in Wuhan three years ago. Thinking back, I realize it was the students I met in the first year and Chinese university life in general {#blank#}2{#/blank#} gave me the deepest impression.

    During my school days, I would rarely give up my spare time to any activity connected with study. Unless exams were approaching, my weekends were devoted to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) fun or perhaps a part-time job. My Chinese classmates, on the other hand, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (seem) to spend their entire waking hours studying. I understand {#blank#}5{#/blank#} competition in Chinese universities is extremely fierce. Nonetheless, their energy and motivation put {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (I) to shame.

    My first year in China was also my first year as a teacher. It was both challenging {#blank#}7{#/blank#} rewarding. One thing I know for certain is that my year in Wuhan helped me {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(change) for the better. Thanks to the politeness and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(warm) of Chinese students, I overcame my fear of speaking in public and became more self-confident. Most {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(important), I met dozens of nice people and made many excellent friends.

How to Become a Morning Person?

You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.

Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something {#blank#}3{#/blank#}matters.

It's not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(become) a morning person is more doable than you think.

I first learned that mornings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer's schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.

Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Getup an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.

But many will argue：I'm not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they're spending the hours before bed, they'll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don't mean {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn't like in high school anyway.

A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.
