    English is now the first language of about 400 million people, the mother language of 12 countries and the official language of one-fifth of the land area of the world, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} means one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} every seven people in the world speaks English.

    More and more people have found it important {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (learn) English well in recent years. In Italy, for example, English is a must for many technical jobs. In China, English is the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (important) foreign language that is learned at school.

    The English language has never stopped changing. It always borrows words and phrases from other cultures to enlarge  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) vocabulary. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (actual), modern English is quite different from what {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) hundreds of years ago.

    English is so widely used that it has become the standard language for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (communicate) internationally. About 75% of the world's mail {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) in English. About 60% of the world's telephone calls are made in English and about 60% of the world's radio programs are broadcast in English. What's more, over half of the world's books and magazines are written in English. In {#blank#}10{#/blank#} word, English is now the world's first language.

    An Italian town will pay people hundreds of euros(欧元) per year if they cycle to work instead of{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(drive) their cars. The government will pay{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(cycle)25 cents per kilometre, up to a monthly limit of 50 euros. That means commuters(通勤者)who switch to two wheels could pocket up to 600 euros in a year. It is said to be the first such plan in Italy.

    Fifty workers will be included in a 12-month trial, which will use a smart phone app to record the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(distant) travelled each day. The plan is being supported from fines{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(collect) from traffic tickets in the town,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}by law have to be spent on road safety.

    The plan will encourage citizens{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(make)sure the area becomes more liveable. It will {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(natural)mean less traffic on the streets and more health benefits. A bicycle organization which helped to develop the idea, says it hopes that other towns will now follow the lead.

    A similar plan{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(introduce)in France in 2014, with mixed results. A six-month trial found that paying people to cycle to work did increase the numbers doing so, but the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(major) had been using public transport, rather than private vehicles.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}those making the move from cars to bicycles, most had already been carpooling (拼车). Private cars remained crowded in the Streets

    While working at Manhattan State Hospital, Dr. Kubler-Ross {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(horrify) by the routine neglect and poor treatment of mental patients. It was here that she began her lifelong approach to medical practice as she developed a program of individual care and attention for each patient. This approach resulted{#blank#}5{#/blank#}significant improvement in the mental health of 94% of her patients.

    In 1965, Dr. Kubler-Ross published her first book, On Death and Dying, a 1969 worldwide bestseller. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(base) on her many patient interviews, she identified the five now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wide) accepted stages that patients go through as they approach death: denial, anger, bargaining,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(depress) and acceptance.

    During her career, Dr. Kubler-Ross served in 16 different hospitals and universities,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(write) more than 20 books, many of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}were translated into other languages, and received many honors. In 1999, she was listed among Time's 100 Most Important Thinkers of the Century.

Do Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Justine Henin have anything {#blank#}1{#/blank#} common with people like us? You probably answer "NO!"

It seems that top athletes live in a world that is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (total) different from ours. However, if we could see into their minds, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} would be clear that they are actually just like us. Just how they become successful {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mean) examples for us all. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} mentally.

We may not be sports stars {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (we), but we have to face the same problems. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (develop). We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates and teachers.

Like sportspeople, we try {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) mentally strong and bring out our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good). There is much we share with sports {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hero).
