Do you know the UK government has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(successful) passed a law banning branding on packs of cigarettes? That means tobacco manufacturers will be forced{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(pack) their cigarettes in plain packets.

    The motivation behind this{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(decide) is to make smoking less appealing to people, especially children.

    A similar law{#blank#}4{#/blank#}was passed in Australia in 2012 has resulted{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a fall in smoking rates from 15.1% to 12.8% for people aged 14.

    As of January 2015, 22% of adult men and 17% of adult women smoke in Great Britain. The possibility of smoking in the UK increases with age so that by 15 years of age 8% of school children{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) regular smokers. Children, it is thought, will be less attracted to cigarettes{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(sell) in unbranded boxes.

    Smoking is one of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}biggest causes of preventable deaths in England. Every year about 80,000 die and over 450,000{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(send) to hospital due to smoking. This places a large strain on the health service and is also a factor in why the government would like to prevent people from{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(take) up smoking or help them quit.

    Our ancestors（祖先）made the old saying that friends{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) like wine-the older,the better.Because of that, many people think old friends to be{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(important) than new ones.For example,if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem,one from a new friend and the other from an old friend,people always prefer to choose the latter one,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the new friend's advice may be better.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(disagree) with the old saying,I believe that new friends are not{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(necessary) worse than old friends. Why?Because the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not.

    Once you call someone friend,he must be a person who is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(rely) and whose interests are in common with{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(you).Maybe a friend's outside look{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(change) all the time,but the inside characters of him and his interests won't change at all.It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you.{#blank#}10{#/blank#},there is no difference between old friends and new ones on this point.

The 10th year of online shopping in China

    In 2009, 3G network technology{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(put)into commercial use. China's mobile Internet users increased by 120 million in this year, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}is highly concerned by the international community. The number of online {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(shop) was over 100 million. On November 11，2009, Tmall kicked off {#blank#}4{#/blank#}first “ Singles Day ”shopping festival, the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(big) shopping day of the year, with 27 brands {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(participate) in for the first time and final turnover of 50 million yuan. At the same time, Tmall enabled more than 200 countries and regions {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(enter) the “free delivery area”.

    The next decade{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(see) an explosion of online shopping in China. From 50 million{#blank#}9{#/blank#}213.5 billion, the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(constant) refreshed data reflect the release of a large number of consumer demands and the great power of digital economy.

    Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(recent).

    In their paper, researchers in the United States and Japan{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce) their experiment and conclusion.

    Scientists invited 36 volunteers{#blank#}3{#/blank#}were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(show) pictures like broccoli(西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task really was quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(challenge),” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study. “ We used very similar items to see if they would remember {#blank#}6{#/blank#}it was this exact picnic basket versus that picnic basket.”

    Researchers also scanned brains of some of the participants during the experiment.

    They found increased communication between parts{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(involve) in the storage and recollection of memories in brains of those who had exercised.

This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise might have a positive effect {#blank#}8{#/blank#}memory power.

    As all{#blank#}9{#/blank#}volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(look) at the influence of light exercise on older people. “Our main goal is to try to develop an exercise way that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities,” said Yassa.

    Michael is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} American high school student. Like many schoolmates, Michael used {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (eat) breakfast while it was still dark. But that changed when his high school followed a new time schedule two years ago.

    The problem of school start time has become one of the most important issues {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are discussed in public. A growing number of sleep-related studies have pointed to high school students' need {#blank#}4{#/blank#} more sleep. More than half of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (child) between ages 15 and 17, as is shown by researches, sleep for 7 or {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (few) hours per night.

    Children like to stay up at night, usually going to bed late and waking up late in the morning. These habits may {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cause) by the biology (生理), according to researchers. They think changing the sleep schedule of children {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) unable to work, "Only going to bed earlier will not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (certain) make someone less tired in the early morning hours, "said a researcher. He also added, "Kids' lack (缺乏) of enough sleep is a growing public health problem in our nation. We need to work out ways to deal with {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Putting off school start time may be helpful."
