At each stage of our life，we meet different kinds of people. Some are funny； some teach us lessons in life while others occupy a special space in our heart. The people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call)"best friends" are just these special friends.

    In our childhood，"best friends" might have meant the persons who are always by our side，{#blank#}2{#/blank#}it may be in the classroom or in the dining hall. However，as we are getting{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (old) than before，our definition(定义)of "best friends" changes. In my opinion，best friends are those who love you {#blank#}4{#/blank#}who you are and help you become who you should be. People in our life come and go，but some people stay. They are the people we should never lose.

    True friends are those who will never leave you when you need them most. They are always there{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wait)for you and they love you when you forget to love{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(you)．The best feeling in the whole world is knowing that there is {#blank#}7{#/blank#}person who always prays for us and always keeps us in their thoughts. Friendship may not{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(necessary)be based on age，but it is based on{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(understand). Even our parents can be our best friends！So let us build our friendship and try our best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see)the good side of everyone!

    The tea culture of China is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（amaze） and has a long history. Tea drinking was widespread in China for about one thousand years before{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（appear） in Europe.

    Tea drinking in China enjoys wide{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（popular）. Many people today go to expensively decorated tea houses to talk business. However, tea drinking is very complex.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}pleasant experience of tea drinking is up to many factors（因素）. It starts with the surroundings. In the past, tea drinking took place in an environment {#blank#}5{#/blank#}people can enjoy antique beauty and natural beauty and relax{#blank#}6{#/blank#} （they）. Nowadays, in order to create such atmosphere, tea houses{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（decorate） with traditional paintings and furniture. Besides, there are often{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（performance） of traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as the guzheng, pipa and erhu.

    Black tea together{#blank#}9{#/blank#}green tea, oolong tea and pu'er tea ranks the top four favourites. The first three types of tea are processed using similar methods but pu'er tea is made with a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（total） different method.

    As we all know, Peppa Pig is now {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (extreme) popular among Chinese preschoolers. On Douban, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} major film and TV review platform in China, it has received an average score of nine points, ranking higher among preschool {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cartoon).

    Peppa Pig, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was first aired on May 31^st 2004, is a British preschool animated television series (动画电视系列片) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (produce) by the Studio Astley Baker Davies in association with Entertainment One. Actually, the British cartoon has enjoyed worldwide {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (popular). So far, it has released 6 seasons and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (translate) into 40 languages and shown in over 180 countries and regions.

    The success of Peppa Pig is beyond the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wild) dreams of her creators — producer Phil Davies and animation directors Neville Astley and Mark Baker. Phil says, "We had 3 other ideas, but decided {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (go) ahead with Peppa." With their team of 30 animators, they produced 52 episodes a year. Phil adds, "It was not until the opening of the theme park {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I thought, 'We've made something pretty successful'."

    Trust is a tricky business. On the one hand, it's a necessary condition for many worthwhile things such as child care or friendships. On the other hand, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (put) your faith in the wrong place often carries a high price.

    Then, why do we trust at all? Well, because it feels good. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin, a hormone that produces pleasurable feelings and triggers the herding instruction that leads sheep to flock together for safety and prompts humans {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (connect) with one another.

    Swiss Scientists have found that exposure{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this hormone puts us in a trusting mood: In a study, researchers sprayed oxytocin (催产素) into the noses of half the subjects; those subjects were ready to lend significantly {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (high) amounts of money to strangers than were their counterparts{#blank#}6{#/blank#}inhaled something else.

    Lucky for us, we also have a sixth sense for dishonesty that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} protect us. A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate between a credible person and a dishonest {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Sixty toddlers were each introduced to an adult tester holding a plastic container. The tester would ask, "What's in here?" before looking into the container, smiling, and exclaiming, "Wow!" Each subject was then invited to look inside. Half of them found a toy; the other half discovered the container was empty-and realized the tester {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fool) them.

    Among the children who had not been tricked, the majority were willing to cooperate with the tester in learning a new skill, demonstrating that they trusted his leadership. In contrast, only five of the 30 children {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pair) with the "inflexible" tester participated in a follow-up activity.

    In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the message runner like a prince if he brought good news. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (prepare) for an outing. As we walked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cheerful) out of the door, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, "Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic for it's going to rain." I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strike) him in the face in my mind not for his stupid weather report {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for his smile.

    More often than not, what makes someone angry is not the unpleasant news but the unsympathetic attitude with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it's delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, but big winners know they should share the feeling of the receiver when {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (deliver) any bad news. If my neighbor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tell) me of the upcoming rainstorm with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sympathetic), I would have appreciated his warning. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸) person is sure {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have).

    You may not have noticed it before, but many people often sit with a hunched (驼背的) back when they are in a difficult situation, such as trying hard {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (solve) a math problem. But there's a reason for this: this body position helps to reduce pressure.

     However, according to Erik Peper, a health professor at San Francisco State University, poor posture (姿势) may make our brains work not as well as they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (normal) do.

    Peper and a team of researchers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (study) 125 students' performance in a math test and their different postures. The team found that good posture—for example sitting up straight—could help people perform better {#blank#}4{#/blank#} bad posture when they feel stressed.

    Another professor Richard Harvey further explained in Science Daily that sitting with bad posture might make us feel more {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (comfort), but it actually increases our pressure levels.

    So the next time you have to take a test, try sitting upright and taking a deep {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (breathe). If Peper's study is correct, this small change may have {#blank#}7{#/blank#} great influence on you.

    There are many things {#blank#}8{#/blank#} lead to poor posture. The good news {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) that posture can be improved at any age by {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) just a few simple corrections in the way one stands, sits and moves.
