Spreading an Infection

    I've made it a habit to smile at people as often as possible, saying some kind words, “hello, thank you, have a nice day”, whatever fits. I have the right situation as I am living in{#blank#}1{#/blank#}big city with many, many people.

    I'm doing this for quite a while now, so I've seen all{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（kind）of reactions, from people feeling{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（threaten） by a friendly word, reacting  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（angry） or even aggressively, to people{#blank#}5{#/blank#}faces lit up with a huge smile and gave me the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（impress） that I've made this moment good for them.

    Today something happened that I hadn't yet experienced: Two people, complete strangers{#blank#}7{#/blank#}me, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, whom I passed on the street without {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（smile）at them,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} with a friendly face, looked up from their inner focus, looked at me, started to smile and greeted me friendly while they{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（pass）.

    Have I started a “kindness virus”? That would be great! It makes my day, and I'm still smiling. I hope you do too!

    What is known to us all is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Wolf Warrior 2 has been a hit this summer(2017). I'm sure you have seen posters{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(design) to celebrate its success in box offices(票房). And it is funny that many {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(decorate) of the leading actors have been sold on the Internet. So it is well worthy of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(see).

    The movie talked about a former soldier named Leng Feng,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}went to Africa in search of the murderer, who killed his partner, Long Xiaoyun. During his stay in Africa, he made every effort {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(help) people in trouble survive. But {#blank#}7{#/blank#} impressed us most was the words written in the passport: Any citizen,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (belong) to China, should keep{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in mind that there is always a powerful country behind you whatever trouble you meet with. Never give up!

    It is no wonder that Wolf Warrior 2 {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(consider) as the top movie in Chinese movie market.

    There is a good new for astrophiles. The last full moon of 2017 is going to appear a little bigger and brighter than most.

    Dec. 3 will bring a supermoon,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (mean) a full moon that happens at perigee—the same time that the moon is closest to the earth.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} this particular occasion, the moon will appear 7 percent larger and 16 percent brighter than usual. Not only will this be the only full supermoon of 2017,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} it's also going to kick off a series of three full supermoons in a row. The full moons on Jan. 2 and Jan. 31 will be super {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (one) and even they'll be blue super moons,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} means the second full moon in a single month.

    While some moonwatchers might be getting excited, some people think the hype（炒作）around supermoons isn't all it{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (regard) as being. A scientist slammed（抨击）the term last year as something made up {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (complete) and a waste of everyone's time. He acknowledged that supermoons would appear bigger and brighter, but that actually an amateur {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (observe) wouldn't notice the difference. Another scientist {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) a similar{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (argue) back in 2012.

    If the supermoon makes you want to go out and appreciate the sky's beauty, we say “Go for it.”

    In 1914, Thomas Edison, at the age of 67, lost his factory, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was worth a few million dollars, to a fire. It had very little insurance. No longer a young man, Edison watched his lifetime effort {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(go) up in smoke and said, “There is great value in disasters. All our mistakes are burnt up. Thank God we can start anew.” In spite of disasters, three weeks later, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} invented the phonograph(留声机). What {#blank#}4{#/blank#} attitude!

    Below are more examples of successful people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} had failed before succeeding.

    Thomas Edison failed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(approximate) 10,000 times while he worked on the light bulb. Henry Ford fired Lee Iacocca {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the age of 54. Young Beethoven {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(tell) that he had no talent for music, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he gave some of the best music to the world.

    Setbacks(挫折) are inevitable in life. A setback can act as a driving force and also teach us humility. In grief you will find the courage and faith {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(overcome) the setback.

    The burn is a kind of common but very painful {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (injure), While minor burns will heal without much medical attention, severe burns require special care {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (prevent) infection. Before you treat a burn, it is important to understand {#blank#}3{#/blank#} degree of the burn you have suffered.

    First degree burns are the most common and happen as a result of brief contact with hot items and the sun. The damage is only {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the most outer layer of the skin. They will likely appear red and may be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (mild) painful.

    When you have a second degree burn, your skin might appear {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (swell), blisters will form and the pain will be math more intense. Second degree burns come from brief contact with extremely hot {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (thing), extended contact with hot items and long exposure time in the sun.

    Third degree burns are the most serious {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they need immediate medical attention. These happen when extended exposure to a hot object burns through all three layers of your skin, sometimes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) muscle, fat and bone damage. The burns will have a white or black {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear). The pain can vary depending on the level of damage to the nerves in the skin layer. These burns can look wet because of the break of the cells.
