I am an orange. I’m a kind of sweet f    1    . You can find I grow (生长) in many places of the world, but I can’t grow well in very hot places or very c    2     places.

I am round in size and orange in c    3    . I am delicious, s    4     people all over the world like to eat me. They can cook me and put me in cans (罐子) to s    5     me to other places of the world. I’m not very e    6    , so almost everyone can have money to buy me. I can a    7     make people get healthy. When people have a cold or are ill, I will give them a lot of vitamin C and help them stay in good h    8    . Don’t you think how great I am?

But I also need your love. If you want to make me taste g    9    , you must take good care of me. Thank you for your love. I will try to grow well and become your f    10    .

【推荐3】My name is Bill. I have two good     1     (friend). They are Bob and Sandra. We eat different food every day.

I like lots of food. For     2    , I eat eggs and some fruit. I like oranges and bananas. For lunch, I have hamburgers and some salad.     3     dinner, I have chicken and vegetables. I like carrots and broccoli.

Bob eats lots of     4     (health) food every day. He     5     (have) milk, two eggs and     6     apple for breakfast. He has chicken and salad for lunch. And he     7     (like) broccoli and fish for dinner.

Sandra is different from     8     (we). She doesn’t eat fruit or vegetables. She only     9     (eat) unhealthy (不健康的) food. She likes French fries and ice-cream. For breakfast, she eats hamburgers. And for dinner, she eats French fries.     10     dinner, she eats ice-cream for dessert.

I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, a large group of people came in and p    1     their own orders.

To my disappointment, the group was s    2     before me. I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I overheard one of them bragging (吹嘘)about how he’s c    3     with someone who works at the restaurant. Unable to t    4     it anymore, I decided to leave. I called the waiter over to cancel my order.

He calmly told me, “Yours is a special order being prepared by the head chef h    5     . It'll take a little more time. Please have a drink while you wait."

I calmed down and waited p    6    . Shortly after, six waiters came with my meal.

To my surprise, the o    7     of the restaurant turned out to be a long-lost friend of mine. He'd seen me as I walked in and decided to surprise me. He upgraded my simple meal to a five -star meal for f    8    . The people at the other table were shocked and couldn’t stop staring.

Suddenly they started c    9    , asking why they didn’ t get that kind of service in a low voice.

Such is life! Some people are a    10     of you, laughing at you. You are working hard tirelessly, wondering why it’s taking so long for you to be rewarded the way they have. You just have to wait longer because your reward is more special.

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that serves Western food? If so, do you remember what the menu looked like? Western restaurant menus are quite different from Chinese restaurant menus. But    1     are they different?

Most Western restaurant menus do not have as many    2    as Chinese ones do. In some expensive Western restaurants, the menus might not have any pictures at all.

But most Western menus show a list of ingredients (原料)for each dish. If you order a hamburger, the menu might tell you that the hamburger has cheese, mustard (芥末) and so on. The menu can also tell you how the food is     3    —for example, whether it is fried(油炸的) or steamed(蒸).

Western restaurants use many different methods to design their menus and make them attract more people. In fact, there is a whole industry called menu engineering, according to the BBC. Menu engineers are experts (专家) at designing menus. Their menus can increase sales and    4     customers’ thoughts (想法).

A well-designed menu can encourage customers to eat certain dishes. It can    5    make them believe that your restaurant's food is of higher quality (质量), even if they haven't eaten the food yet.

For example, using descriptive (描述性的) words like "juicy"" cheesy" can help dishes sell better. Instead of just writing “steak(牛排)” in their menu, a restaurant might write “sizzling(滋滋作响的) steak”. This makes the steak seem more    6    .

As you can see, menus are not just simple lists of food.

The 24th Beijing Winter Olympics began on 4th February, 2022. Do you know the mascots（吉祥物）of the Winter Olympics-Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon? On September 17, 2019, the mascots first     1     up on TV.

Bing Dwen Dwen is a cartoon image（形象）of a black and white     2     wearing a spacesuit. It looks like a winter sports athlete from the future. “Bing” means “ice” in Chinese, which is a symbol     3     winter sports. “Dwen” suggests health. “Dwen Dwen” gives the image     4     more friendly feel. Altogether,” Bing Dwen Dwen” shows the     5     of the Olympics, including a strong mind and a healthy body. Cao Xue, the chief designer of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first     6     from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu.

Shuey Rhon Rhon is the mascot of 2022 Winter Paralympics（残疾人运动会）. “Shuey” means “snow”. “Rhon Rhon” are two different Chinese characters with the     7     pronunciation. It looks like a lantern with paper     8     of pigeons on its head. The cuttings make up a circle. And the lantern is red. Red is the color of hope and good luck,     9     people think they will realize their dreams in the new year. “Shuey Rhon Rhon” can give players hope and help     10     do well in the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.

Many people in different countries like the two mascots very much, and they show their love for them on the Internet.

Scientists are placing robot dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the s    1    on the effect of robot dogs   on old people’s feelings.

In the study, the r    2    , called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live a    3    . Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data (数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their e    4    feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if the robot dog has produced any changes in the life of its master.

“I talk to him all the time,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “W    5    I do, he’ll stay with me. When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

“At the beginning, it was b    8    that no one would like the robot dog because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robot p    9    could become more valuable health helpers.       They will r    10    their masters’ data of health conditions. They may even one day help older people in many other ways.”
