A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so absorbed in his smartphone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (throw) him to the ground. This should serve {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially when crossing roads.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(lucky), the man survived the brush with death, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the incident forced the driver to stop the train. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}18-minute delay followed the incident, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

    Smartphone addiction(入迷、上瘾) has spread like an infectious disease. It's evident that it will do great harm to society. What's even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.

    Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy, yet{#blank#}10{#/blank#}fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

    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 Great Wall was grand, a little rainy at first, but grand all the same. The mist covered the far ends of the wall,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(give)it an almost mysterious feeling. The fog rolled in and out of the high mountains, revealing new parts of the wall as {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick)as it covered them. I kept on walking, seeing watchtower after watchtower {#blank#}3{#/blank#}my way. To my {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(relieve), many people had decided today was not the best day {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(climb)the wall, and I was there with very few people. I walked for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}seemed like miles. Then I saw just how long the wall I was standing on stretched for.

    It was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(end)! I walked and walked, but after every hill I climbed, there was another long stretch of wall. I eventually came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} long staircase. Later I found out that it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(call) “Chairman Mao's Challenge”.I accepted, and after climbing the hundred plus stairs to the peak, I had to admit that the Great Wall truly lives up to its reputation. So if I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have)another chance to travel to China, I would never hesitate to visit the Great Wall again.

    A hotel chain is employing human bed warmers to help guests get a good night's sleep. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (dress) in special all-in-one sleeping suits, the walking electric blankets are sent to warm the beds of guests staying at the Holiday Inn {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they get under the covers.

    Dr Chris Idzikowski, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (direct) of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said the idea could help people get off to sleep. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (explain) that "There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night {#blank#}5{#/blank#} body temperature starts to drop. The drop occurs partly because the blood vessels (血管) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the hands, face and feet open up and release heat." "A warm bed –approximately 20 to 24 degrees Celsuis –is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} good way to start this process while a cold bed isn't. It helps people sleep well especially as it's taking much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (long) for them to warm up when they come in from the snow."

    Dr Chris Idzikowski and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (he) colleague Jane Bednall said the idea was like "having a giant hot water bottle in your bed". The five-minute free bed warming sessions will be tried out in London and Manchester {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the end of next month.

This is where my kids grew up

    For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is more than just a building. In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines. Every growth stage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mark) in pencils, with each child's name and the date.

    Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hard) to leave behind. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress. Friends I know have visited their previous home only {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(discover) their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about it.

    They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} work is about capturing the beautiful things in life. She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we had experienced in all those years. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(transform) them into a beautiful history of my family.

    Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me —{#blank#}10{#/blank#} life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
