    Research proves that nearly half of the cancers diagnosed(诊断) in the UK each year-over 130, 000 in total- are caused by life choices that include smoking, drinking and eating the wrong things.

    Tobacco(烟草) is the biggest factor, causing 23% for cases in men and 15.6% in women, says the Cancer Research UK report. Next comes a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in men's diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: "Many people believe cancer is related to fate or in the genes(基因), and that it depends on luck whether they get it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change."

    For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best advice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight.

    In total, 14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134, 000 cancers in the UK each year.

    Some risk（风险） factors are well founded, such as smoking's link with lung cancer. But others are less well recognized. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost entirely by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer(胆囊癌), are largely unrelated to lifestyle.

    Public Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: "By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems- giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight."

If you haven't ever played the game Candy Crush Sage（糖果传奇），it's safe to say you're in the 1 . Since being first released by King on April 12, 2012, the game has been in vogue（正流行） till today。

People from all over the world are addicted to Candy Crush. About 93 million people play it every day, and they all together contribute nearly $800, 000 daily for the in-game purchases. Players have burnt the midnight oil, abandoned their housework and even left their children stranded（滞留）at school, simply trying to2 new levels of the game. 

There are lots of amusing games out there, but why is Candy Crush so addictive?

First of all, it's cute and simple. Those colorful candies and characters in the game make people feel sweet and relaxed.3 , the game is very easy for players, even preschoolers, to understand—all they have to do is to match three or more candies of the same colour. They can play the game with only one hand, while the other one carries a drink or holds a subway pole. 

 Secondly, Candy Crush is4 a game of luck. The success depends largely on the random arrays（排列）of candies. This means unexpected results: players lose more often than they win, and they never know when the next triumph will come. This makes the game even more5 than if they won easily. 

 Last but not least, there's always more of the game. The Candy Crush team updates the game frequently and frequently and creates new levels every two weeks. But players won't be able to play whenever they want, because of the limited "lives" . Once you6 "lives" , you have to wait 30 minutes to continue. "People always want they haven't. I can't play it all the time, so l want to badly, " says one player. 

In a recent small group activity in Mrs. Johnson's 9th-grade class, students came together to discuss how a growth mindset (思维模式) can greatly influence our life. Here are the opinions on developing a growth mindset shared by the students.

Developing a growth mindset not only reduces worry but also brings happiness. By celebrating your achievements and enjoying the journey of growth and learning, you can create a satisfying and successful life.

Some problems are difficult to solve in our life. However, there are a lot of number expressions （表达用语） that can help. Today, let me show you some examples. 

Sometimes we can "Kill two birds with one stone". That is to say, we can complete two goals （目标） with only one effort or action. But we must remember that "two wrongs don't make a right". If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him. 

When I was a young child in school, my favourite subject was Maths. My teacher used to "give me three cheers" when I did well in Maths, praising （赞扬） my hard work and good grades. 

When I was in high school, some of my friends once had trouble doing their schoolwork. In fact, they did not care if they could finish high school. But it seemed that they really got a surprise when they completed their studies and graduated （毕业） from high school. They were "on cloud nine". 

"Nine times out of ten", students who do well in school often find good jobs. Some people work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. However, it's good to know that happiness at work isn't just about money. 

 As we all know, giving gifts is a great way to show our love and care to the birthday person. However, sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right gift. Here is some advice that can help you choose a good gift.

To pick the best gift, you should know the birthday person very well. Start by making a list of all his or her likes. For example, if the person loves traveling, you can buy a map or a backpack. Then try to find something the person needs. If you don't know what the person needs, you can ask others for help.

 Gifts are all about making people feel special. So it's important that the gift should be very special. It doesn't have to be very expensive, but it should be meaningful to the person

 No matter what gift you choose, always add your little touch to it. You can write a card or a note to show your heart. This will bring a smile on the birthday person's face.

 Besides preparing gifts, you can also organize surprise parties. A successful one always makes people excited and surprised. So you can have a try. There are many kinds of surprise parties.

 We know really well about ourselves.

 If you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask) to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} knowing who you are can help you understand feelings better.

 The ability to have a good understanding of our own character is called self-awareness. If you' re self-aware, you are able to see yourself {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (clear). You may also know that you love playing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} instrument because you do well in it and music makes you happy, or that you like watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.

 Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are good at and what you find difficult allows you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(make) better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(you) own feelings more and that can build up confidence. The World Health Organization {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(say) self-awareness is one of ten important life {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(skill) that can help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people, too.

 How do you learn to be self-aware? It's a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with"{#blank#}10{#/blank#}" instead of"why". For example, if you don't understand why you keep arguing witha friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you' re arguing. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill and you learn it as you grow. So be brave and try out new things!
