When traditional Chinese food baozi and the delicious pizza meet together, what will probably happen? These days a kind of new food called “Baozza” is getting popular online. In Beijing, not only many natives but also many foreigners like Baozza very much. Why?

The new food is the mixture of Chinese baozi and western pizza. It has included the tastes of the two kinds of food. The restaurant, located in Beijing, serves all kinds of tastes of Baozza such as Marguerite and BBQ chicken.

The inventors of the food are a few American businessmen. They used to travel to southern China for business meetings. After they saw and ate baozzi made of pork or vegetables many times, they came up with the great idea of creating Baozza.

Alex Cree, one of the inventors, said, “We were talking about the idea of making a kind of special baozzi with more traditional western tastes like that of hamburgers and pizza. And then we called it ‘pizza baozi’.”

“There are a lot of people who only order one or two Baozza for the first time. They worry that the food doesn’t taste so good,” Loren Heinold, another inventor, said. “However, they will ask for more soon when they turn around.”

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.

When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.

Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

From QQ to microblog to Wechat, it’s easy for us to connect with     87     another in many ways. But this kind of     88     has come a set of digital etiquette (数码礼仪).

As new research by BT Mobile and Oxford University noted, “It’s as important to treat people     89     online as it is in real life.” The study came up with rules of etiquette in the digital age. It has     90     three notices for you. Please take a look.

First, don’t share too much on the Internet. Some of us are not     91     enough to show off our thoughts and lives on social networking sites. Another annoying (令人讨厌的) way to overshare is     92     sharing, reposting and giving advice on other people’s thoughts, pictures, videos and articles.

Second, don’t gossip (闲聊) about people on social media. Some may think gossip isn’t a harmful chat that makes for exciting conversations, but it can also be a way to spread gossip that isn’t true about other people. Gossip on social media can be     93     than in real life, so it’s better to be     94     about it.

Finally, we can also send happy birthday messages on social media. Now that we got a remind about our friends’ birthday online,     95     them the suitable “Happy birthday” greeting is necessary. So we should wish people a happy birthday by calling them     96     as well as leaving messages on social media.

If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days, it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies in that list.     97    

An autobiography is the story of a person’s life, written by that person. It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood, how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.

Traditionally, someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long, successful life.     98     Reality TV shows are very popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well. As a result, people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous, a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography, even if they are very young.

So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye. Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays, we maybe don’t know how they live their lives from day to day.     99     The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager(急切的) to read autobiographies.

Not every star wants to write though.     100     The writer will interview the star, listen to everything they want to say, record interviews and then write the book based on their words.

David Beckham did this with his book My Side.     101     Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books. About 100 million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year. More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops, more people are sure to keep buying them.

Many of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body，then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food，genes（基因） and aging（变老）. Televisions，computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer，it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes，too. If this happens，you'd better clean your eyes with cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example，sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A，C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight，too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food，his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. In a word，eye care is very important，no matter how old a person is.
