However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fine) up to 200 yuan.

    More cities are introducing similar regulations, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(follow) the practice in Shanghai. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China.

"It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} must to have a legal guarantee {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(promote) garbage sorting, said Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University.

    Apart from China, many other foreign countries also {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(introduce)garbage-sorting regulations in the past years. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. There is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fix) time for the disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result {#blank#}10{#/blank#} high fines and even jail time.

CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among netizens by asking people whether they were happy. The responses {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the question were various, even some quite funny ones included. Although people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (play) jokes on the answers, it did not take long {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they began to figure out the true meaning of happiness.

It is certain that people's views on happiness {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(affect) greatly by their own life experience. Unfortunately, too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of a decrease in the number of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth. Some people whose {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (intend) is to make big money appreciate being given any chance to increase their income, believing that is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their happiness lies. Some are eager to inherit their parents' property, especially those {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are known as silver-spoon kids. Even worse, some would rather break the law {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (satisfy) their financial desire or seek their fortune {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (legal).

In my opinion, happiness is not about {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pursue) wealth but about admiring the beautiful things in life. Therefore, live your life to the fullest and be happy.
