A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress (压力) management. He raised a glass of water and asked them, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g. It doesn't matter on the absolute {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (weigh). It depends on how long you hold {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It's exactly the same weight, but the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the time, sooner or later, we won't be able to carry on, the burden {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (become) increasingly heavier. What you've to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We've to put down the burden periodically, so that we can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (refresh) and are able to carry on.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're having now on your shoulders, let it down {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a moment if you can. Life is short, enjoy it!

    Coffee is the smell of childhood at my grandma's house, and the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(pleasure) smell spread the house as she told me {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(story) of being a migrant from Europe after the war — she always said she found not having real coffee {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(hard) than learning English. Coffee is my dad and mum {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(watch) ABC News after dinner every night.

    It is travelling from Adelaide to Hobart with my brother in his car, camping as we {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(run) out of money, and spending the money we just earned {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a bottle of beer at{#blank#}7{#/blank#}start of our trip. Coffee is me on a Sunday morning, as a little girl, lying {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cosy) in bed with my kitties and reading the newspapers. And now it is me going to work in a coffee bar {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(base) in Tasmania and making people's days a bit better with my job. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} also related to coffee is a saying: First cup you are a visitor, second cup you are a friend and by the third cup you are family.

    The mooncake features on every Mid-Autumn Festival dining table, and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (traditional) comes with fillings like five kernels (a mixture of five different nuts) and red bean paste. These mooncake flavors represent the tastes of various {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(area) in China,  with favorite fillings varying from province to province.

    However, traditions change with the times, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} do mooncake flavors.

    Today, many people love Hong Kong-style mooncakes, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) crazy for that unbeatable melt-in-the-mouth feeling {#blank#}5{#/blank#} comes from sinking your teeth into these mouth-watering cakes.

    Another popular style is the mooncake with a crayfish (小龙虾) flavor. The crayfish {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (select) for mooncakes should be fresh and alive.  Because of limited ingredients, only a small number of crayfish mooncakes {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(put) on sale each day, forcing many to queue up for hours.

    The thoroughly modern mooncake is not only about new flavors, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(involve) designing distinct patterns. Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province that is famous {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the masks and sculptures from China's Bronze Age (铜器时代) has introduced a special range of mooncakes with bronze statue patterns,  a creative design that is sure {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (please) mooncake lovers.

    You see them everywhere: people walking with their attention {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（concentrate）on their smartphone screens on busy streets. But walking and texting can be dangerous and cities in the United States and Europe have stepped {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their efforts to deal with it.

    In Honolulu, using the phones while crossing the street is forbidden. It has passed a law that says “No pedestrian （行人） shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device. In other words, do not look at a screen when you cross the street{#blank#}3{#/blank#} you could be fined. Honolulu is the first major U.S. city{#blank#}4{#/blank#} （forbid）what is called “distracted walking”.

    People {#blank#}5{#/blank#} text while walking are nearly four times as likely to have at least one dangerous action. A lot of people do it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they know it is dangerous. They tell themselves that it is important.

    Using phones while walking may lead to injuries and deaths, but it seems to be a global problem. Pedestrian deaths {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（increase）as the use of cell phones rises in the past 5 years, and it is expected that the tendency will continue.

    Other cities have come up with creative ways to help protect those using cellphones while walking. A small town near Amsterdam has set up special crosswalks with flashing lights on the ground. When the traffic lights turn red or green,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} do the lights on the ground, reminding pedestrians when it's safe to cross. In a town of Germany, similar lights were used after a teenager using her smart phone was hit and seriously{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（injure）.

    If you still want to text while walking you could avoid being fined in Honolulu {#blank#}10{#/blank#}using voice-controlled digital assistant（数字助手） like Siri or Google Assistant Or you could just wait until you are again, safely off the street.
