Each zebra has its own unique pattern of distinctive stripes (带), just {#blank#}1{#/blank#}humans have their own unique pattern of fingerprints, Zebras stick together in herds (兽群). Within a herd, zebras tend {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stay) together in smaller family groups. Families are generally made up of a male, several females{#blank#}3{#/blank#}their young.

    As zebras graze, they use their sharper front teeth to bite the grass, and then use their duller back teeth to crush and grind. A zebra's teeth keep growing for{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (it) entire life, because constant chewing{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wear) them down.

    Zebras are{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (constant) on the move to find fresh grass and water. Sometimes they gather in huge herds of thousands as they migrate to better feeding{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (area). They often travel in{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mix) herds with other grazers and browsers, such as wildebeest.

    Zebras groom (理毛) one another, If you see two zebras standing close{#blank#}9{#/blank#} each other and it looks like they're biting each other, don't worry. They're pulling loose hairs off each other as they groom. Grooming also feels good to a zebra—it's like having an itch scratched,

    A teahouse is a special house which primarily serves tea and other light refreshments. Its function varies widely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (depend) on the culture. In China, a teahouse is a place {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people gather to enjoy tea, chat and socialize. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (consider) as a symbol of Chinese tea culture and people's leisure lives.

    Chinese teahouses enjoy a long-standing history. They developed from tea stands in the Western Jin Dynasty, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) shape in the Tang Dynasty, developed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (gradual) in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and became booming in modern times.

    In the Song Dynasty, teahouse existed all over cities and villages, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a rate comparable with that of restaurants.

Rise After Falling

    A father was worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk(僧侣) to train his boy.

The Buddhist monk said to the boy's father, “I insist that your son should {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(leave) alone here. I'll make him into a real man within three months. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, you can't come to see him during this period.”

    Three months later, the boy's father {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(return). The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the boy and an {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(experience) boxer. Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}at once the boy stood up; and each time a heavy blow knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “ {#blank#}7{#/blank#}do you think of your child?”

    “What a shame!” the boy's father said, “I never thought he would be so {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) knocked down. I needn't have him stay here any longer!”

    “I'm sorry that that's all you see. Don't you see that each time he {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) down, he stands up again instead of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have.

    When someone has{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(deep)hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, studies {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(show)that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. "People who forgive show {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(little)anger and more hopefulness, "says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. "So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(feel) more energetic. "

    So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something {#blank#}6{#/blank#}gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don't wait for an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(apologize). "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things in the same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time."

    Next keep {#blank#}8{#/blank#}mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(accept) the action of the person who {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(upset) you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person's perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view.
