【推荐1】Bob lives in London with his wife.   They like eating fish a    1    . He often    2     (buy) some fish in the shop and takes them home for     3     [ˈdɪnə(r)]. His wife (妻子) often asks her friends to     4     (they) home to have lunch and eat fish. One day, Bob takes some fish home and goes to his office to     5    . His wife sees the fish and thinks, "Good! I can ask my friends to come for lunch."

When Bob comes home from work     6     the evening, he can't     7     [faɪnd] his fish.   His wife says, "Oh, it's your cat. Your cat eats it." And she gives Bob some     8     [bred] for supper. The husband (丈夫) is very angry (生气). He     9     (take) the cat and his wife to the shop near (在…附近)their home to weigh (称重) the cat. Then he asks his wife, "You see, my     10     is one kilo, and this cat is one kilo, too. My fish is here. Then where is my cat?"

My name is Li Hai. I’m a     1    (nine) grader. Life has been different for me this year.

Before the lockdown (封城), my family went to my     2     (parents) hometown in Caidian. It is     3     village not far from Wuhan. The villagers closed their doors and didn’t go out. Life went on     4     (quiet). But it was difficult for me to keep up my studies w    5     I was in the countryside, as the Internet is very slow there. I often had trouble connecting to my online classes and could not study effectively. W    6     my textbooks, I had to read and do exercises on a computer screen, which often hurt my eyes. Luckily,     7     (do) eye exercises during the break helped a lot.   

Teachers offered     8     (we) psychological guidance（心理辅导）and it made my life get into a new routine (常规) soon. I     9     (study) online, went to bed and got up early. Every afternoon, I ran along the backyard. I also spent my fifteenth birthday before Wuhan was     10     (allow) to reopen. Now I’m preparing for the entrance exam for high school and will never forget this special experience.

Wang Lin is 13 years old. She is in     1     middle school in Taizhou. She is     2     （real） happy at school because she has a lot of good friends. After school, she likes going shopping with her mother after school. There is a big supermarket near their home. It is open     3     9:00 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening every day. All the things there     4     （be） very nice. And it is easy for them     5     （buy） the things they need. They can also watch a movie there when they are free.

Many young people today have     1     (问题) in using the mobiles well. They use them too much. For example, we can’t enjoy the things around us     2     (自……以来) we started to take them to dinner tables. This happens a lot, especially     3     (当……时候) we eat out. Once a dish comes,     4     (替代) of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and take photos. Later, we post the photos on Weibo or WeChat and     5     (等待) to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time and have dinner in     6     (沉默). To our elders’ surprise, we just can’t leave our mobiles for simply a meal.

Is that     7     (情况) familiar to you? Do you do that often?     8     (最近) a study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. So don’t be     9     (愚蠢的) any more, and next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, stop using your mobiles and     10     (交流) with people around you. It will be a wonderful time.

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and her vision(视力) not so clear, 16-year-old Sun Na went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was surprised when she found out that her eyesight d    1     from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term, “A few of my c    2     have had the same experience lately,” Sun said. In fact, poor eyesight a    3     Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.

To p    4     students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements(要求) for school supplies(供应品) and equipment(装备). They will take effect on March 1,2022. For example, according to the requirements, the s    5     of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point(小五号). Also, teachers should also a    6     using projectors(投影仪) or other multimedia equipment that are too bright. They’re bad for eyes. Besides these, there are requirements for the lights in the classroom. Theses lights should give off as little blue light as p    7    . Blue light is bad for our eyes because it can even k    8     the photoreceptor cells(感光细胞) we need for vision. In fact, in our daily life, many of the e    9     devices(设备) we use, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light. Chinese government has also taken some other a    10     to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2020, the National Health Commission required schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have     1     (problem) with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do     2     this? Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager     3     London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking     4     someone helps a lot.     5     we talk to someone, we’ll     6     (certain) feel worse.”

Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks     7     first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like     8     (he). Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that     9     (share) a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by     10     (talk) to someone about it!
