    Covering over 300 different{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(dish) and more than 150 people, the new season not only is a simple{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(introduce) to food, but also {#blank#}4{#/blank#} investigation(调查) of Chinese people and society. Hot topics, such as higher education{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(discuss) in the documentary series.

    Liu Hongyan, director{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the documentary as well as a famous food writer in China, wishes {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(explore) the relationship between Chinese people and their food through the show.

    The Beauty and mystery of Chinese food had never been{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(proper) explained or thoroughly appreciated on an artistic level {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the show A Bite of China was put on the TV screen in May,

    Let's travel along A Bite of China III, another journey of food and culture,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}will never let you down!

    My grandfather is a{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (retire) worker. On summer evenings, we often sat together outside the house {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (enjoy) the cool air. It was the time that he told me lots of his experiences before liberation.

    When my grandfather was fourteen years old, he worked in a coal mine. One day, when he and his two workmates were working in the tunnel, an{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fortune) thing suddenly happened. A part of the tunnel fell down, and they were shut in it. They had no food {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(eat). When they were hungry, they only drank some water there. It was very cold in it. In order to keep warm, they hugged one another. In the darkness, they didn't know whether it was day{#blank#}5{#/blank#}night, they only felt they had stayed there for a very long time. They were too hungry to speak or move, and thought they{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(die). At last, the tunnel {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(dig) through. They were saved. They had been there for fourteen days! My grandfather said they weren't let out at once. If{#blank#}8{#/blank#}，they would have died. They were kept at the entrance to the tunnel {#blank#}9{#/blank#}it was very dim, and they were fed{#blank#}10{#/blank#}some thin porridge. After a day or two, they had recovered a bit, and they were helped out.

    People have all turned to sad music to make themselves feel better at some point in their lives,

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}why does the music with double or even triple(三倍) sadness help drag people out of low spirits?

    A new study throws light on what's going on inside people's brains when they match their music to their feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(simple) depressing. Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people's life, thus {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lift)their mood.

    Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(existence) two groups of possible explanations for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this——one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having {#blank#}7{#/blank#}even worse day than they are.

    Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music {#blank#}8{#/blank#} shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.

    So, the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (conclude) again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.

    Generally speaking, a motto is a short and suggestive {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (express) of a guiding principle, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can inspire people to work for self-betterment. My motto is "God helps those who help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they)". Sometimes I am lazy and don't want to work, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the moment I think of my motto I will become {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (energy) again and devote myself to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I am doing. I write my motto where I can see it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (easy). Every time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (face) with difficulty, I will {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (inspire) with much confidence by the sight of my motto. My motto also makes me become {#blank#}10{#/blank#} independent person. My friends, what is your motto?
