It happened at a weekend in the 1970's. Mum gave me two tickets for a film, telling me she was too busy to go together with me with the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(end)housework. She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy. At that time, a ticket cost only 20 fen. But to me, a little girl of twelve, 20 fen seemed quite a lot.

    I reached the cinema {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hurry). Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. Just then a handsome young man, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} noticed me and the ticket, came towards me with a big smile, "You've got {#blank#}4{#/blank#} extra ticket？"

    "Yes, "I nodded.

    "That's great. Say how much？"

    "20 fen."

    "Oh, " he thought for a while and then took out a ten yuan note {#blank#}5{#/blank#} his wallet.

    "I'm terribly sorry, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I've only got this note." Seeing I was confused, he added, "Then how about waiting for a while {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I have changed it in the cinema's store？"

    Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked very fast. I could hardly keep up with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Soon he disappeared. I stood there {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(puzzle). Suddenly I realized the handsome young fellow {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cheat) me."

    Before long I found that he'd sold the ticket to a little boy. He earned 20 fen, but lost his honor!

    Just How Buggy is Your Phone?

    What item in your home crawls with the most germs? If you say {#blank#}1{#/blank#} toilet seat, you're wrong. Kitchen sponges top the list. But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices all day long, yet rarely clean them.

    In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during a widespread of the deadly disease Ebola. The phone's owner reported the theft before {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(die)from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms and finally {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(confess)to the crime.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in that unusual case a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria, not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look at the surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some dirty mars? “That's all you,” says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell. “That's biological information.”

    It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of your friends and family. They're like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues.

    In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants' homes, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner. In an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(early)study, a different group of researchers found that they could use microbial fingerprints to identify the person who {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(use)a computer keyboard even after the keyboard sat untouched for two weeks at room temperature.

    One day, microbial signatures might show {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people have gone and what they have touched. They could prove {#blank#}10{#/blank#} an unmarked device is yours. So, sure, your phone is pretty germy. Does that inspire you, or does it just bother you?

    When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible ­ and it can be surprisingly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. "People who forgive show {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(little) anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Fre deric Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(feel) more energetic."

    So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something {#blank#}5{#/blank#}gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don't wait for an {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (apologize). "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things in {#blank#}7{#/blank#}same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time."

    Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person's perspective. You may realize that he {#blank#}9{#/blank#}she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(you) from that person's point of view.

    Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(associate), went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} were coming to study at Beijing University. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(wait) area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(watch) them and then went to greet them.

    The first person {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(arrive) was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(follow) by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(probable) a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(introduce), George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand. They both apologized – another {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(culture) mistake!

    It is reported that next year, Singapore will treat sugary drinks in the way that other countries treat cigarettes — no advertisements. The plan aims {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (reduce) the high rate of sugar which may cause diabetes (糖尿病)and heart diseases. Thanks to its economic {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. (develop) and income growth, Asians have access to more and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) food than ever. However, Asian eaters, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} have become richer, gradually begin to change their traditional diets to the food rich in fat and sugar. As {#blank#}5{#/blank#}result, extra calories make them heavier. The effects of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (eat) unhealthily are serious. In the past twenty years, countries in the region {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see) the world's largest increases in premature deaths because {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the diseases related to sugar. Faced with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) serious situation, Singapore^'s plan is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (certain) reasonable.
