Have you ever imagined {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in 2116, 100 years from now? A recent study describes robots, underwater cities and holidays in space. City planners and experts on space and architecture were asked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) their ideas on life in 2116. According to them, the way people live, work and play will be totally different{#blank#}3{#/blank#} how we do these things today. They also said that 25 years ago, people couldn't imagine how the Internet {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the smart phones would change our lives. But today, both have changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things, and the changes in the next century will probably be even {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (great).

    Those{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (question) in the research said that people may not go to offices in the future but will work at home instead. People will have advanced 3D printers that will let {#blank#}7{#/blank#} download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then “print” the sofa, table or pizza at home. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} will also be less need for visits to the doctor. People will have a home health capsule that will “diagnose” what the problem is and provide {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (treat). They will also be going into space for holidays, and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hopeful), to get resources that have been used up on the earth.

    Friendships are easy when you're in high school. Most of the time, you make {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (friend) with someone only because you like each other. But when you get to college, you'll {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (probable) find that maintaining (维持) friendships not only {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (require) mutual (相互的) appreciation,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} also money ── you'll have to spend money {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) out with your classmates, dorm mates and co-workers in school associations so you don't feel {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (leave) out.

    But according {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a survey, this financial pressure has become a burden on many young people,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} have to stay away from certain social events because they're short of money.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) that problem, you may want to prioritize (划分优先顺序) your social life, only choosing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} events that are the most important. Or, maybe you'll just have to face the reality: you can't have it all.

    Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was to choose a suitable Christmas gift for her father. She wished that he was as easy {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (please) as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.

    Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not {#blank#}3{#/blank#} pleasant experience：people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（step）on your feet or pushed you with their elbows (肘部), hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.

    Jane paused in front of a counter {#blank#}5{#/blank#} some attractive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant tried to attract her. "Worth double the price." But Jane knew from past experience that her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father. Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already {#blank#}9{#/blank#} table having supper. Her mother was excited. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," Jane {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (inform).

    Inserting needles through the skin may sound scary, but acupuncncture and moxa-moxibustion, two key components of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tradition) Chinese medicine (TCM), are said to improve the patient's health and well-being.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (add) to UNESCO's representative list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wide) practiced in China. Their format and practice have distinctive regional characteristics and they have a precious heritage based {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Chinese culture and science.

    The theory of Chinese medicine believes the human body is a small universe with {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) own circulatory system, in this system, there are acupoints (穴位) connecting the channels. By stimulating these acupoints, the self-regulating functions of the human body can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (promote). Acupuncture refers to the practice of inserting needles into the body of a patient at a certain angle and using {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (technique) such as twisting and lifting the needles to excite acupoints {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (treat) diseases. Moxa-moxibustion normally refers to placing moxa (艾) directly on acupoints or holding moxa sticks at {#blank#}9{#/blank#} distance to warm the body.

    In 1995, the World Health Organization published {#blank#}10{#/blank#} can be treated by acupuncture and moxibustion. TCM has become more and more accepted by other countries in the world.
