Today, the Chinese traditions of Qixi have combined with Western celebrations of love and romance. Lovers often use flowers, chocolates, sweet gifts or grand declarations to express feelings deep in their hearts.

Find inspiration (灵感) from these four romantic movies, which all took place in breathtakingly beautiful places. Choose one as the ideal setting for your own real-life love story.

Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. It has appeared in several notable films, including Roman Holiday. In the film, Ann (played by Audrey Hepburn) has her hair cut a barbershop near the fountain, which becomes the style-setting “gamine” haircut in fashion history.

Empire State Building, New York

The Empire Sate Building is an American cultural icon and has been featured in more than 250 TV shows and movies. In the comedy-drama Sleepless in Seattle, Annie (played by Meg Ryan) writes a letter to Sam (Tom Hanks) suggesting meeting on top of the Empire State building on Valentine’s Day. After twists and turns, they finally see each other on the observation deck on top of the building.

Somerset House in London

Located in central London, Somerset House is a popular filming location with its exterior featuring in several big budget Hollywood films. In the winter, its central courtyard is turned into an open-air ice rink, as seen during the well-received film Love Actually.

A 4-year-old boy was given the chance to celebrate his favorite holiday early this year after a neighborhood in Illinois heard that he would miss the chance to trick or treat because of a vital Surgery (手术).Sonny Mead,who put on a Superman costume for the special day, hit more than 20 hours along his special trick-or-treat route and was even treated to a ride in a fire truck.

“He thinks today is Halloween,” Jackie Mead, the boy’s mom, told Fox 2 Now on Wednesday. “We let him pick his costume, and up until today he was going to be Spider-Man, and then he decided that he wanted to be Superman because he wants superpowers.”

Sonny was diagnosed with craniosynostosis (颅缝早闭), which causes the skull bones to fuse prematurely, affecting brain growth. Sonny had pieces of his skull removed to give his brain more room to grow in 2015, and the bone was supposed to grow back but never did.

So on Friday, doctors will use a 3-D printer and bone from a dead body to rebuild Sonny’s skull. His recovery is expected to take between two and six months, meaning he’ll not be able to trick or treat when Oct.31 comes.

But once Amanda Richert heard that her friends son would miss out on the trick-or-treating fun, Goshen Meadows citizens, in Edwardsville, Illinois united in a group to make sure he had a chance for the trick-or-treat fun. Sonny’s mother said their reaction was overwhelming.

Imagine a brand-new, magical pill which can measurably improve your memory, overall cognitive (认知的) performance, ability to learn new information, mood, ability to handle problems and more. Would you buy it?

Yeah, yeah, you saw this coming: That pill exists, but not in pill form. You can have all of those benefits for free, and all it takes is going to bed a little bit earlier. So what are we to do to get a better night’s sleep?

First, learn how much sleep you need. Generally, if you’re waking up tired, you’re not getting enough. However, the gold standard of eight hours per night might not be right for you. A study from 2015 brought into question whether we need that magical number, so following your body is the best way to figure out the right rhythm. The only real guideline is to get as much sleep as you need to feel refreshed and energized the next day.

Next, figure out your body’s natural rhythm. Maybe after years of trying, you need to acknowledge that you’re just not a morning person. And that’s perfectly fine! Click the link and take the quiz to find out what kind of sleeper you are, and don’t fight your body’s natural sleep tendencies.

Last, keep a consistent sleep schedule. This can be the most important part of your overall sleep quality We’re all equipped with circadian clock (生物钟), which s that internal 24-hour timer that naturally tells us when to sleep, and the best way to getting rest and feeling rested is to keep this consistent. Fall asleep and wake up at the same time every day, and try to build as much regularity into your schedule as possible. And don’t forget to keep your bedroom cool.

7. What did the study from 2015 find?

A．There exists the magical pill.

B．It is best to sleep as long as you can.

C．Eight hours of sleep is not always needed.

D．Lack of sleep accounts for waking up tired.

8. What matters most for your sleep?

A．To keep your bedroom cool.

B．To stick to your regular sleep time.

C．To fight against your type of sleep.

D．To equip yourself with a circadian clock.

9. Where can you probably read the text?

A．In a clock store.

B．On a health website.

C．In a daily newspaper.

D．In a science magazine.

10. What is the best title for the text?

A．How to Get Good Sleep to Improve Your Life

B．How to Figure out Your Body’s Natural Rhythm

C．What to Do to Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule

D．Where to Buy A Magical Pill to Improve Memory

One of the biggest reasons people drop an exercise program is lack of interest.     11    . The good news is there are tons of different sports and activities to try to see which one inspires you.

When picking the right type of exercise, it can help to consider your workout personality.     12     If so, solo sports like running, biking, or snowboarding could be for you. Or do you like the shared motivation and companionship that comes from being part of a team? School sports, intramural leagues, club teams, and pick-up games are great ways to stay active with others.

    13    . For example, whether your chosen activity is affordable and available to you (Activities like horseback riding may be harder for people who live in cities, for example.) You’ll also want to think about how much time you can set aside for your sport.

It’s a good idea to talk to someone who understands the exercise, like a coach or fitness expert at a gym.     14    

Doctors know that most people benefit from regular exercise, even those with disabilities. If you have a health problem or other concern (like being overweight or very out of shape), talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise plan.

Considering the benefits to the heart, muscles, joints, and mind, it’s easy to see why exercise is wise.     15     Even small things can count as exercise when you’re starting out -like taking a short bike ride, walking the dog, or raking leaves.

A．Without fun, it is hard to keep it up.

B．You also need to plan around practical considerations.

C．You have to make a list of your favorite exercises, too.

D．He or she can get you started on a program that’s right for you.

E．Different types of exercise can strengthen different muscle groups.

F．And the great thing about exercise is that it’s never too late to start.

G．For example, you may like to work out alone and on your own schedule.

I woke up this morning feeling stressed. That is____ I have new essays to write in two days, and the ____ of a huge project is coming up. And I also have a sick kid and a sick husband to ____. This week, my house is also under repair. Because of lack of money, I have to do a lot of things ____. I have four walls to paint, a few lights to fix, and so on.

Although I feel stressful, I am sure I can ____ it with a detailed plan for all the things. Then I will ____ a single item from my plan when I finish it. I need no ____ and no moaning and groaning (唉声叹气). I only need all my ____ to get my tasks done. When I get ____ of some tasks, I do something else in my plan or look after my beloved ones. For example, painting a wall is a good way to take a break from writing and a trip to the stores to buy necessities can ____ the boredom of painting. In this way, I ____ do the things in my plan and move forward with ____. I always reject the ____ thoughts: It doesn’t matter that I can’t finish my tasks on time. No one is going to die if we ____ them for a day or two. For me, anyway, I can’t leave today’s tasks till tomorrow so I always complete everything ____ the time limit.

So at the end of the day, I finally finish my tasks and ____ my family to a good meal happily. It is lucky that my beloved kid and husband will ____ in a short time. While relaxing in the evening, I think that there will always be a ____ after hard work. I believe a good ____, hard work and perseverance can ____ the good result we desire.
