Until recently daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time or it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (consider) an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties．But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming．Some think it may be a very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (health) thing to do．Some researchers are finding that daydreaming may be important to mental health．Daydreaming, they tell us, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a good means  of relaxation．But its benefits go{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this．A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (surprise) conclusion．

    Dr．Joan T．Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes growth．It also improves{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (concentrate),attention span, and the ability to get along with others．Industrialist Henry J．Kaiser believed that much of his success was due{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the positive use of daydreaming．Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse．The young Thomas Edison pictured{#blank#}8{#/blank#} as an inventor．

    For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}．Dr Harry Emerson Fosdick offered this advice: “Hold a picture of yourself…in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it．Picture yourself {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (vivid) as defeated and that alone will make victory impossible．

    It is generally believed that obesity is a global epidemic and crisis. But people's view on weight is keeping us from doing things to help us get {#blank#}1{#/blank#} healthy body. Obesity researchers hate{#blank#}2{#/blank#} when I say this, but their own data shows that obesity is not going to kill us. Most obese people don't have {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(short) lifespans (寿命) than non-obese people and in fact it's the underweight people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are at most at risk.

    So why does everybody think obesity is deadly? One reason is that obesity is associated with three different things that {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) deadly and lead to shorter lifespan: being sedentary (久坐);{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (have) lower income; and not getting enough medical care. Everyone, the medial the medical community operate from the firm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (assume) that obesity is deadly. So any evidences contradicting that are ignored. It is true that obese people are more likely {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(get) diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But there are two things you need to realize. First of all, the obesity paradox. When obese people get the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (disease), they're less likely to die of them than non-obese people. Second, to reduce the risks that you may suffer from, you don't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (actual) have to get thin. You just need to exercise.

    Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo(冰屋) hotel.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(build) in a small town, it has been attracting lots of visitors but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks' time, Bergqvst's ice creation{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(replace) it."

    Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}successful that he designed the present one, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks —piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(remove).

    After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a relaxing hotel break. "It's great fun," Bergqvist explains, "as{#blank#}9{#/blank#} as a good start in survival training."

    The{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(popular)of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.

    If you've ever heard of someone being in the right place at the right time, you've likely never heard it fit a story as well as this one. In 2014, a 17-year-old volunteer firefighter {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call) Joseph Chambers heard {#blank#}2{#/blank#} loud crash outside of his sister's home. Joseph found two cars {#blank#}3{#/blank#}what appeared to be a fatal collision, one of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was a police patrol car. He{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(immediate) ran up to the car of Officer Mark Kimsey{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(see)if he was okay. Officer Kimsey {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(trap), but Joseph sprung into {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(act), pulling Kimsey out through the window with another bystander as his patrol car burst into{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(flame). Maybe it was Joseph's firefighter training that allowed him to think, and act, so quickly, but it's certain that he saved a man's life that day without once{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(think)about his own well-being.

    Chinese might be heard when you take a ride on the street. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (walk) into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China — you're in Manchester in Britain. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going global.

    Western countries {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (enjoy) Chinese food for a long time. Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) local people's tastes.

    Some Chinese{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (brand) are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. They're not simply made in China, but {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (design) in the country.

    In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap but not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rely). Things have changed greatly, though. For example, Huawei. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is one of China's major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in worldwide smartphone sales for the first time in June and July, behind only Samsung. "They are{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (beauty) and offer some unique features American phones don't have, " CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
