I came across an interesting story when I visited my cousin in Henan Province,China.My cousin grew up next door to a girl{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call) Li Shichun.The "Chun" part of Li Shichun stands for spring.That's when she was born.But that's not all.She is also named{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a Sui Dynasty engineer,Li Chun.Her father thought him{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(admire) because he built bridges you can really count on.But her mother wouldn't like her daughter{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(have) that name because she thought that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(sound)too much like a boy's name.She was worried that her daughter would have to put up with too much teasing with{#blank#}6{#/blank#}man's name.So they figured out a way to change it.They added "Shi" from her grandmother's name.Well,that was lucky because she looks like her grandmother anyway.Li Shichun{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(eventual) went to university{#blank#}8{#/blank#}she studied medicine.However,she didn't like it so she changed her studies and ended up{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (become) an engineer!She became quite famous when she invented a new way of holding up suspension{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bridge) during the building process.

    I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(travel) to many places since I went to college. What impressed me deeply was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(I) travel to Tibet last year. I took the train there with my friends and enjoyed the scenery all the way. When the train was close to Tibet, I had{#blank#}3{#/blank#}headache. Then I{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(find) it difficult to breathe and felt{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tire). I knew that all my symptoms(症状)were called altitude sickness. And it took me a few hours to get used to it.

    Tibet is known as the “Roof of the World”{#blank#}6{#/blank#}has a number of famous{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(place) of interest including Potala Palace and Mount Everest. So when I felt a little{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(well), I couldn't wait to head towards them. I was very happy{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(see) that the top of Mount Everest was covered with snow even{#blank#}10{#/blank#} July and when the sun came out, it became pure and beautiful.

    Some years ago,writing in my diary used to be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}usual activity. I would return from school and spend half an hour {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(record)the day's events, feelings, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(impress)in my little blue diary. I did not really need {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(express) my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(see) my experiences forever recorded on paper, After all, isn't accumulating(积累）memories a way of preserving the past?

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey{#blank#}7{#/blank#} foot in a great valley{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(equip) with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(pride) to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(walk)out of my tent, diary in hand.

    Chantelle Brow n-Young was not born with vitiligo (白癜风), but it has made her famous. She is the first supermodel with the skin condition, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} causes areas of skin to lose their colour.

    Chantelle was born in Toronto, Canada. At the age of four she started to develop {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(patch) of white skin and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(diagnose) with vitiligo. No one really knows why one percent of people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(have) this skin condition, and there is no real cure.

    At school, Chantelle was bullied for being different. The other kids often called her a 'cow', because of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} way her skin looked. She moved school several times and finally left school at 16. From now on, she decided, she {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) proud of her skin.

    She got down to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (post) photos of herself on Facebook and soon was 'spotted' by a Canadian YouTube star, Shannon Boodram, who asked her to be in a music video. It was while she was doing that {#blank#}8{#/blank#} her really 'big break' happened. Tyra Banks asked her to be on America's Next Top Model.

    She didn't win, but she became famous. Her {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(profession) name now is Winnie Harlow , and she has nearly three million followers on Instagram.

    Little {#blank#}10{#/blank#} little, she is changing people's ideas about what beauty is.

    A recent study found that people who live in colder climates consume {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (much) alcohol than people who live in warm weather.

    "Alcohol is something that everyone thought harmful for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (decade), but no one has scientifically demonstrated it," a professor wrote in a press release.

Why do people in Russia drink so much? Everybody {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (assume) that's because the weather is cold. But we couldn't find a single paper {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (link) climate to alcohol intake. Since alcohol could increase warm blood flow in the skin, last month, the researchers in a study {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (suggest) that people should reach for booze (豪饮) when it's cold outside. The researchers combed through data to compare climate factors and alcohol consumption per capita (每人的). {#blank#}6{#/blank#} study also found that as temperatures and sunlight hours decrease, alcohol consumption goes up. Shorter hours of sunlight and cooler temperatures also relate {#blank#}7{#/blank#} higher rates of depression, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is linked to an increase in drinking.

    The professor hopes this data will help influence health policies on alcohol abuse. "Knowing that cold places have more drink-related problems can could be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (help) to the efforts in these areas {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (determine) better places," he said.
