Research has become both simpler and more complex. It's simpler because, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you have computer, you can find information you need by searching the Internet. For all you information, you don't have to go to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} library to find the relevant resource and take notes on it. Instead, you can find some sources from the Internet {#blank#}3{#/blank#} print the copies needed. Remember, however, that you should usually consult different types of sources. That is, you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} always rely just on the Internet for you research.

        While findinginformation is easier than ever, at the same time, researching has become {#blank#}5{#/blank#} complex. There is a lot more material available, which means you may be overwhelmed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the amount of information. You need to learn {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to sort through and find the relevant information for your particular project. Also, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} need to check the accuracy of it.

    Jay Zhou is a student from Number 2 Middle School, who has many hobbies. He likes reading very much. In order to read more English novels, he has taken {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in different reading activities. The novels he has read add {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to at least 30. Many of the novels he has read {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (base) on real people and events. Through reading, he can not only improve his knowledge of English, but also feel life is so happy. He says that so many English novels are worth {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read) that he will never be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (concern) about whether his future life will be boring. He also likes traveling. After {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (graduate), he will travel in an English speaking country, making good use {#blank#}7{#/blank#} his English. He hopes to speak English fluently as {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he were a native speaker. Although he is devoted to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (learn) English，he hopes he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (admit) to a university where he can study science instead of arts.

    A smiling face with tears, or “Tears of joy”, was chosen as the most popular emoji globally in 2016, according to a report{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（publish）by Chinese tech startup Kika.

    In 2015,emoji was the country's fastest-growing language in the UK and “Tears of joy”also became the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（make）it popular on social media worldwide.

    As a language expert pointed out, the reasons{#blank#}3{#/blank#}this are as follows. For one thing, with the development of the Internet, especially the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（popular）of smartphones, English alone is proving not enough to meet the needs of 21st-century digital communication. For{#blank#}5{#/blank#}emojis can offer greater freedom than verbal language. Meanwhile, compared with text messages, they are often more intuitive（直观的）and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（simple）,which is also the reason why more and more People choose{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（express）their emotions and ideas by using emojis.

    Even if you don't send emojis yourself, you will{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（probable）receive them.

    However, nobody can definitely-tell {#blank#}9{#/blank#}emojis will finally come to look something more like traditional language that we understand and use daily some day or they are just in fashion for{#blank#}10{#/blank#}while like many things. “After all, it's an addition to language rather than a language itself,”Dr Drummond says.

    Some students who had graduated visited their university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(return) with a pot of coffee and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking, some expensive—telling them to help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to the coffee.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand that he said, “All the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leave) behind the plain and cheap ones. Actually, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}all of you really want is coffee, not the cup. You consciously went for the best cups, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} then you began eyeing others' cups.”

    “Now consider this Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  are just tools to hold and contain life. The type of cup we have does not change the quality of life. If we concentrate only {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (true) hope that you will never let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.”

    Everybody in the world is seeking happiness--and there is one sure way{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(find) it. That is by{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(control) your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend{#blank#}3{#/blank#} outward conditions, but inner conditions.

    It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing {#blank#}4{#/blank#}makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it. For example, two people may do {#blank#}5{#/blank#}same thing in a place; both may have about an equal amount of money and status --and yet one may be{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(depress) and the other happy. Why? Because they see things{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(different).I have seen just as many happy faces among the poor farmers {#blank#}8{#/blank#}work very hard in the fields as I have seen in air conditioned offices in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles.

    Abraham Lincoln once {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(say) that “most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be”. He was right. If you decide to be happy, then you will always find plenty of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(reason) to be happy.

    Two new satellites of BeiDou Navigation (导航) Satellite System (BDS){#blank#}1{#/blank#}(send) into space on a Long March-3D carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, China at 2:07 a.m. on November 19, 2018. The satellites entered a Medium Earth orbit (轨道) {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(safe) more than three hours later and will work with 17 other BDS-3 satellites already in space. They are also the 42^nd and 43^rd{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(member) of the BDS satellite family.

    China launched these satellites with the aim of providing navigation services{#blank#}4{#/blank#}countries and regions which participate in the Belt and Road Proposal by the end of 2018. “This is a key and{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(value) step for BDS developing from a Chinese experimental system to a regional and then a global navigation system,” said Yang Changfeng, chief expert{#blank#}6{#/blank#}contributed much to the BeiDou system. The positioning{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(accurate) of the BDS-3 system has been improved to 2.5 meters to 5 meters, said Yang.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(name) after the Chinese term for the Big Dipper, the BeiDou system has been serving China for 18 years where another six BDS-3 satellites will be put into the Medium Earth orbit from 2019 to 2020. The system is expected{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(provide) first-class services around{#blank#}10{#/blank#}globe by the end of 2020.
