Let go of the problems

    There are many teenagers who have too much pressure. Last Wednesday, Mr. Trent began his psychological health class {#blank#}1{#/blank#} holding up a glass of water. He asked the students{#blank#}2{#/blank#}would happen if he held it up for a day.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} student said the teacher's arm would ache or go numb. He might have to go to hospital! All the students laughed.

     "But during the time, did the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(weigh) of the glass change?" asked Mr. Trent. "Then what caused the pain and numbness?" 

     The students {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) puzzled.

      "What should I do now {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get) rid of the pain?" asked Mr. Trent again.

      "Put the glass down!" said another student.

      "{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(exact)!" said Mr. Trent. "Life's problems are something {#blank#}8{#/blank#} caused the pain like this glass. Hold them for a few {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(minute) in your hand and they seem OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache. The longer you hold them, the more painful you feel."

     It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life. But what's even {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(important) is to put them down at the end of every day.

    Dreams make life more colorful. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (几乎) everyone wants to have a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (更好) life. Me, too. I have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (数个) dreams. I'm looking forward to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (完成)my study and finding a good job. I am {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (确定)I will enjoy {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (我) at work. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(在…期间) the holidays, I will go to the park to help collect {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (垃圾). I want to do it because I always {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (担心) about our living place. It's too dirty. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (希望) everybody will do something to make our earth beautiful.

    Imagine the scene —you come home after work and feel too tired to cook, but find a delicious meal waiting for you .It sounds like a dream, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it could come true. Some British scientists have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (invent） a robot cook. They have built a set of robotic arms, which are able to cook {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (meal).The robot cook will be ready for sale as early as 2017 as part of high -tech kitchen, and the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} will be around £10,000,which includes a pair of robotic arms, an oven, a hob(炉盘）, a dishwasher and a sink.

    Scientists have spent almost 18 years {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (develop) the robotic arms. They can cook almost anything you want {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (eat).They can imitate(模仿） human movements closely and they can do many things like humans, but they move a bit {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (slowly) than humans. The arms will tuck up(折起） when they are not being {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (use), making space for their owners.

    Users can order dinner {#blank#}9{#/blank#} using an app on their smart phone. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} convenient it is!

    World famous scientist Stephen Hawking(霍金) died {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the age of seventy-six in his home in Cambridge, England on March 14. British Prime Minister Theresa May said Hawking was one of{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(great)  scientists of his time. She also said, "His achievements will not{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(forget)."

    Hawking was one of the most respected scientists in the modern history of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}/ 'fiziks/. Because of an uncommon disease(疾病) , he was kept to a wheelchair.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, the disease did not stop Hawking from studying. He used every new day that life offered{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(continue) his research of the universe(宇宙). He said, "Where there is life, there is hope." He developed {#blank#}7{#/blank#}way of thinking about problems in his mind to reach a solution.

    This way of thinking has led to his important discoveries. He was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(one) person to present the idea of some special energy in the universe. At the same time, Hawking tried to explain many of these difficult{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(science) ideas to more people. He{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(write) several popular science books, including the bestseller A Brief History of Time which made him a household(家喻户晓的) name.

    Stephen Hawking spent his whole life understanding the universe. He is, no doubt, a legendary(传奇的) scientist of all time.

    One day, a great general(将军) had a long talk with his soldiers（士兵）. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#}his soldiers, "What is the strongest power in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} world?" Four of his soldiers put up their {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The general asked the first man to speak. He was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and the other three were old. And he was not strong, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. He said, " My gun（枪） is the strongest. I can kill anyone with {#blank#}6{#/blank#}." "Thank you. Next, please!" the general said. The second man was very strong. He said loudly," I don't think so. Soldiers use guns. So they are the strongest." The third man said, "Soldiers use guns, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}our general gives orders, so I think our general is the strongest." The {#blank#}8{#/blank#} man was the oldest. He said, "Love is the strongest. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} love, people don't need to use guns." The general said nothing but took out a medal(奖牌) and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it to the oldest soldier.
