Teenagers have long been told that being active and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) part in sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too {#blank#}2{#/blank#} sport.

    The US Department of Health and Human Services suggests that young people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(age) between 6 and 17 work{#blank#}4{#/blank#}at least 60 minutes a day, 7 hours a week. But researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, more than 14 hours {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (appear) to be harmful to their health. To reach their findings, they had 1,245 teenagers {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(survey) in their research.

    All participants (参与者) were required to answer questions about height and weight, sports practice, sports {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (injure) and well-being. Their well-being was measured using the Word Health Organization (WHO) Well-being Index, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} provides scores between 0 and 25. Of the participants, 50.4% were male. Almost 9% of these males were overweight. The overall {#blank#}9{#/blank#}well-being score for all participants was 17.

    The researchers divided sports participants into low, average, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, and very high. The researchers found that participation in the low and very high activity groups were more likely {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (have) well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were {#blank#}12{#/blank#} a by participants who carried out around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but beyond 14 hours resulted {#blank#}13{#/blank#} lower well-being scores.

    The researchers suggest that doctors {#blank#}14{#/blank#} care for teenagers should check their level of sports practice. Teenagers {#blank#}15{#/blank#} (probable) need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being.

    In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the blood type {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the person was born with. People with blood type A, for example, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (consider) more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (finish) what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.

    The blood-type personality theory {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (start) in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (different) among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Most Asians might believe {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the blood-type theory, but for many it seems {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (harm) and not something to be taken too seriously.

    Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss (摒弃) the belief as a modern-day superstition (迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (connect) between blood and personality. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (general), scientists warn against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.

    An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men. One man said, "We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the ground. Who finishes first will have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}" The others agreed. Very soon, one man finished his snake. He was about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (drink) the wine when he saw the others were still busy{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (draw). He said proudly, "How{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (slow) you are drawing! I still have enough time to add feet to my snake." But before he finished, another man finished his snake and took hold of the pot from him, saying, "Whoever{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (see) a snake with feet before? Yours is not a snake, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the wine should be mine!" He drank the wine. The man adding feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fool) behavior.

    From that story comes the idiom Draw a snake and add feet to it'. Now people use this idiom to illustrate (阐释) the truth {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we are all familiar with: Going too far {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) as bad as not going far enough.

    Successful communication {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(involve) more than talking to a person. Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to communicate {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effective) with others. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Therefore, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(read) body language is an important part of developing our social skills.

    Ahead of this year's London Book Fair in March, media reported a rise in interest in translated works among British readers. For translator Anna Holmwood, this signals the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (arrive) of a new era.

    "This is a big moment for Chinese fiction abroad," says Holmwood, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has translated Chinese literature for almost a decade.

    Her translation work, Legends of the Condor Heroes, a fantasy novel written by Jin Yong, and Liu Cixin's science-fiction book, The Three Body Problem, are shown in a Nielsen report {#blank#}3{#/blank#} examples of two of the most popular Chinese fiction works in Britain in 2018.

    "Languages in growing demand include Chinese and Arabic." according to the Nielsen report. It found that, against the commonly {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) "not more than 3 percent rule" of translated literature's presence in the English-language book markets, the number for 2018 was 5.63 percent in Britain {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the total annual sales was worth $27.1 million.

    Charlotte Collins, translator and co-chair of the British Translators Association, says: "As we can see, this proportion (比率) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (double) in recent years... This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (real) exciting news."

    The Guardian quotes (引用) Fiammetta Rocco, administrator of the Man Booker International Prize, "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (read) fiction is one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) ways of putting ourselves in other people's shoes. The rise in sales of translated fiction {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) how hungry British readers are for terrific writing from other countries."
