While {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wait) for the airplane to take off,I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} air hostess approached me and asked,"Would you mind {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(change) your seat?A couple would like to sit together."The only possible seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏绷带）,a black and blue face,and a sad {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(express)."No way am I going to sit there,"I thought {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(immediate).But a soft voice spoke,"She needs help."Finally,I decided to move to that seat.The girl was named Kathy.She was hurt in a car accident and now was {#blank#}6{#/blank#}her way to treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived,it did not take me long to realize {#blank#}7{#/blank#}Kathy would not be able to feed herself.I considered {#blank#}8{#/blank#}necessary to feed her but hesitated,as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger.But then I realized that Kathy's need was more important than my discomfort.I offered {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(help) her eat, and although she was uncomfortable to accept,she did as I expected.We became closer and closer in a short period of time.By the end of the five-hour trip,we had become friends.Love sometimes flows beyond human borders and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(remove) the tear that keeps us separate.When we offer to serve another,we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.

    It was my first day in Hangzhou, the Chinese city famous for its {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (nature) beauty and history and I didn't have much time to spare. I wanted to see {#blank#}2{#/blank#} much of the city as possible in the two days before I was to return to Guangzhou.

    My first task was to decide where to go and how to get there. I took out my guide book {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there was a lot of information about the city's well-known tourist {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (attraction) and started to read. At that moment, an attractive young lady who noticed my book came up {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me and introduced herself. She said her name was Bai Li and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (kind) offered to show me around the city. I was delighted and was about to accept her suggestion when she {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (suggest) we first go to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge.

    I liked the idea of visiting the West Lake, but wasn't so sure about crossing the Broken Bridge. If it was broken, did she expect me {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(jump) across? And I couldn't swim, so if I fell in then I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (die). That was definitely not an attractive idea, so I politely declined her {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (invite), closed my book and walked away.

    The party began shortly after nine. Mr. Wood, who lived in the flat below, sighed to himself as he heard {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （excite） voices and the noisy music. Luckily, he had brought some work home from the office, with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the noise overhead. But by eleven o'clock he felt tired and was ready to go to bed though from his {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（early） experience he knew it was no use{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（try） to get to sleep. He undressed and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（lie） for a while in bed, trying to read, but he found himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off {#blank#}7{#/blank#} light and buried his head in the pillow. But even so he could not shut off the noise. Finally, after{#blank#}8{#/blank#} seemed hours, his patience was gone.

    He jumped out of bed, put on some clothing, marched firmly up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor's apartment. The owner of the apartment came across the room and, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, "My dear fellow, come and join us. I know our parties would trouble you. I meant to send you an invitation." Mr. Wood's anger disappeared then and there. He said, "I'd better go and get changed." Minutes later, he returned,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（proper） dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

    New "Star Wars" Attractions Set to Open at Disney Theme Parks in 2019

The galaxy (银河系) that seems so far, far away just got a little closer.

    On Tuesday, Disney announced "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge", a highly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect) themed land under construction, would open in summer 2019 at California's Disneyland and in late fall 2019 at Florida's Disney World.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the announcement was made, officials had only said the new land would open soon.

    No specific date {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (announce) for the Disneyland opening. But if past summer openings are any indication, "Galaxy's Edge" is expected to open in late June.

The additions will be Disney's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (big) "single-themed land expansion" ever, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger. Each will be an expansive 14 acres (英亩). A copy of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} guests will be able to pilot, will be a key attraction.

    Galaxy's Edge will immerse (使沉浸于) visitors in the Star Wars universe, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (transport) them to a never-before-seen Star Wars planet—a remote trading port largely ignored by warring people and one of the last stops before wild space. This planet is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Star Wars characters and their stories will come to life. It will feature two major attractions: {#blank#}8{#/blank#} allowing guests to pilot the Millennium Falcon and the other dropping riders into the middle of a battle. The most advanced video techniques are expected to power each attraction.

    Even as Galaxy's Edge {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (approach), Disneyland is making changes, both large and small, in advance. Recent projects have shifted queues for "Dumbo the Flying Elephant" and "It's a Small World". These are the efforts to improve traffic flows near the attractions. Similar changes have been made in Adventureland {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (ease) congestion points. Work has started on a new luxury resort in Downtown Disney. Officials have closed Rainforest Café, ESPN Zone and AMC Theaters to make room.

    China's educational and health authorities have banned convenience stores in all kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools across the country. The regulation took effect on April 1.

    The campus convenience store is a place {#blank#}1{#/blank#}many students enjoy a snack and a chat. But it will soon become {#blank#}2{#/blank#}thing of the past. It requires that administrators (管理人员) should keep record of each meal and solve any food problems as soon as possible. Parents can also eat with students at school canteens and give{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(suggest) to the school on food safety and nutrition. The regulation raised heated debates.

    Many students were sad about the ban. They said the campus life would be less interesting {#blank#}4{#/blank#}convenience stores, and they wouldn't be able to have different flavored drinks or desserts.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, many parents expressed support for the regulation. The father surnamed Fang said, "cheap, low-quality snacks sold at these stores are{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(harm) to children's health, and students rush to shops to buy snacks as soon as a class is over, which affects the normal teaching order".

    The move comes among food health concerns at public schools and{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(design)to meet the nutritional needs of students. The regulation also requires schools{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(monitor) students who may be obese, and intervene (干预) to make sure they follow a healthy diet. And in fact many foreign countries have their own ways to make students eat {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(healthy). For example, many parents in Australia volunteer in schools, sometimes in canteens, do their best to see that {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) children are served nutritious food. In Japan, there is "food and nutrition education". This helps children acquire "a sense of gratitude (感恩)" and "appreciate foods and social manners."
