We high school students do have some growing pains,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty{#blank#}3{#/blank#} matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (face) with this, we can find {#blank#}5{#/blank#} proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand). Some of us have fewer in ends. I think being open-minded and friendly{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) you good. Third, we may fall behind others,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to work efficiently, full of determination. Lastly, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#}to spend money.

    Last summer holiday, I took part in a teaching project and volunteered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(teach) in a countryside primary school for two weeks.

    When we arrived at the school, though shocked by the poor living conditions, we quickly adapted {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the life there. My good friend Tom and I were in charge of the third year students, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(consist) of just 18 boys and girls. We not only taught them English and maths, but also organized some after-school {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(activity) for them. Gradually, I found that many of the students were actually quite 6{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(talent). But some had to leave school early, which is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(large) because their families were under heavy financial pressure, and they had to find a job to support the family.

    As well as giving lessons, we also helped set up a reading room in the school {#blank#}7{#/blank#} students hardly had any access{#blank#}8{#/blank#} good reading materials except textbooks. With the help of school staff and students, we cleaned out an abandoned classroom. When we placed the books students and teachers in my high school {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(donate) onto the shelves, I found the students were more than excited and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(dive) into reading there.

    Two weeks quickly passed and we had to leave. I did not know how much we had actually taught them, but for me I learned a great deal—cherish what I possess and study harder.

    Tons of waste is being left on Mount Qomolangma by a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(grow) number of visitors, which bothers many people. A team will deal with the task{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the climbing season ends this May, by which time there will be fewer visitors. Garbage{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(collect) on Qomolangma requires two to three years of training, according to Cering Dandar, a mountaineer and guide.

    With the passing of 2018 and Spring Festival, we{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(start) a new important year already.

    This year is one of the final stepping stones to becoming a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(moderate) prosperous society in 2020. Meanwhile, 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. To prepare for 2019, the government made{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(it) economic agenda (事项) clear at the Central Economic Work Conference,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (attend) by the country's leaders in Beijing in December.

    Great attention will keep on{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(pay) to China's growth performance in 2019. To meet the target of doubling 2010 GDP by the end of 2020, it needs to average about 6.3 percent this year and next.

    Meanwhile, China will host the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in April. At this event, the Belt and Road Initiative,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}has huge potential to drive economic growth, will take greater shape.

    This year is also likely to pave the way for a number of technological{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(advance). China is expected to roll out 5G, the next generation of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wire) technology, next year. It's up to 100 times faster{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the current 4G technology.

    It will be a year for China to reflect{#blank#}10{#/blank#}its past and future direction,

    I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. When he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask) why he was able to succeed, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} mother when he was about two years old. "I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling (溢出) the milk all over the floor-a sea of milk! I got {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (frighten) and I didn't know what to do!" he said.

    Instead of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(punish) him, his mother asked him to play in the milk for a while. Then she said, " You know, we failed in how to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(successful) carry a big milk bottle with two tiny {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hand) just now. Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle {#blank#}7{#/blank#} water to see if you can discover a way to carry it."

    This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(know) he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} were actually opportunities for learning something new. Even if the experiment "doesn't work", we usually learn something {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(value) from it

    "Living within 300 metres of green space {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (associate) with greater happiness, sense of worth and life satisfaction," says a new study. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) data from UK government's Annual Population Survey (APS) of 25518 people, the researchers show that people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} live within 300 metres of green space have significantly better mental well-being. "A lot of research focuses {#blank#}4{#/blank#} poor mental health, or single aspect of well-being like life satisfaction. What makes our work different is the way we consider multi-dimensional mental well-being in terms of happiness, life satisfaction and worth," said Victoria Houlden from the University of Warwick.

    The study, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (publish) in the journal Applied Geography, found that there is a very strong relationship between the amount of green space around a person's home {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  their feelings of life satisfaction, happiness, and self-worth. Green space within 300 metres of home made the greatest {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (differ) to mental well-being. The study found that access to green space was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (important) than lifestyle factors such as employment, income and general health. "By {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) advanced statistical and mapping methods, we've shown that the effect is real. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (basical) we've proven what everyone has always assumed was true," said Scott Weich, Professor at the University of Sheffield.
