Recently a really strange thing happened in a middle school in China's Hubei Province. Over 600 students there took part in a “caring for an egg like a baby”{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (active) in which they were asked to keep an egg close at hand for a month{#blank#}2{#/blank#}breaking it.

    "It's hard for parents to bring up their children{#blank#}3{#/blank#}many students just ignore it,” said Liu Kang, the school's director. "They should{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) to be grateful to their parents, who have given them life but ask for nothing in return.”

    Li Ming is one of the students. His egg didn't break during the month, but he felt{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exhaust). "I now realize that my parents have had great difficulty{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bring) me up. I'll do all I can to make their life easier and more{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(comfort) when I grow up.” promised the 13-year-old boy.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (luck), about 10 students broke their eggs. Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days, which made him frustrated. He said, "I can't imagine{#blank#}9{#/blank#}sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me, their 'egg'!" It is time I{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(do) something in return for their love.” said Yan.

    There is a woman {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（name）Daisy who has devoted all her life to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（attend）to the homeless children. It's generally recognized that what she has done for children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（deserve）to be respected by everyone. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（personal）speaking, her selfless behavior sets a good example to us.

    There was a time when I came across Daisy who {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（invite）to deliver a speech, during which she indicated, “{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（take）care of homeless children is just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ordinary job, but it doesn't mean that you can look down {#blank#}8{#/blank#}it. Every job is equal. We can't say which one is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（good ）.” She also said, “Once you set out to do something, you ought to carry on with it to the end, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will gain nothing in the end.”

    Next time you sit down to watch a sad film, put the snacks away. Research shows that we eat up to 55 percent more when {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(watch) a sad movies than a happy one. It is thought that we eat {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make ) us feel better.

    With popcorn (爆米花) and ice cream chosen as {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) favorite foods by filmgoers , the situation suggests bad news for people. Researchers  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(offer) a group of office worker types of snacks while they watched the sad Love Story and Sweet Home Alabama, a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(cheer), funny film. Researchers said, “After the movies were over and tears were wiped away, those {#blank#}6{#/blank#}had watched Love Story had eaten 36 percent more snacks.”

    Medical researchers recommend that those not hoping to gain {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(weigh) put snacks out of reach. “Keep snacks out of arm's reach. You'd better leave them in the kitchen {#blank#}8{#/blank#}only bring to the sofa what you expect to eat. Maybe you can change popcorn and sweets to pieces {#blank#}9{#/blank#}fruit and vegetables. It's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (real) easier to become slim by design than by determination.”

    Who invented the ATM? There have been {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (argue) for years over who should officially go down in history as "the inventor of the ATM". Now the UK government is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (clear) saying it was James Goodfellow {#blank#}3{#/blank#} invented the ATM.

    Back in the mid-1960s, James Goodfellow was working {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a development engineer for Glasgow firm Kelvin Hughes, and had been charged with inventing a way to enable customers to withdraw (取) cash from banks when Saturday opening ended. "Most people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (work) during the week couldn't get to the bank. They wanted a solution. The solution {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) a machine which would issue cash on demand to a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (recognize) customer," he said. "I set out to develop a cash-issuing machine, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) this a reality, I invented the pin (personal identification number) and an associated coded token (代币)."

    The cash machine has become a world-conquering piece of technology. There are now 3 million ATMs worldwide, with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} number forecast to hit 4 million by 2020. The good news for Goodfellow is that people are beginning to know him for his invention. Even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) for him, the Home Office has now officially recognized his other achievement.

    Table manners vary {#blank#}1{#/blank#} culture to culture. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is acceptable in one country may be considered extremely rude in another. Here we will tell you about the traditional table manners and the modem table manners in Korea.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (traditional), it was the woman's job {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (cook) food and set the table. The woman would sit by her husband to make sure that he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (have) everything he needed for a pleasant meal. Only after the husband finished would the woman and her children eat. Nowadays, table manners {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (change) a lot. All of the family members eat together at the same time. It is common to see everyone help with the meal, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (include) the husband. One tradition, however, remains unchanged.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is the oldest person that starts the meal.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (stay) until the oldest person is finished is considered to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} basic tradition of Korean table manners.
