1 . Online eating shows are very popular. They are well-known all over the world. Because many people like watching this kind of shows, some hosts became popular for their ability(才能) to eat lots of food. Some people don’t like this show. While some hosts can eat so much food, some maybe fake it. They just show eating a lot of food, but in fact they threw it away later.
Someone calls on people to stop wasting food. They guessed that the world is facing the worst food shortage(短缺) in 50 years. Many videos stopped showing food waste to call for an end to waste food, too. A research shows that people waste about 1.3 billion tons of food every year in the world. In China, people waste about 35 million tons of food every year.
Nowadays, some people are carrying out activities against wasting food. Some people call on people to eat safe food and stop wasting food. The owners of most large restaurants began to control the number of dishes for their customers. In some places, the owners of the restaurants ask customers to take the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 people should only order enough for nine people at first. More food is only brought to the table if they really need it.

3 . Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
Don’t argue with your parents. Your parents probably won’t consider(考虑)your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解) Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but he only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊重) for them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your opinions. Tell your parents what you care about and why. Understanding your opinions might help them see your purposes(目的)in life.

7 . In the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), there’s a famous saying: “Life is like a box of chocolate; you never know what you’re gonna get.” It’s the same with blind boxes (盲盒).
Each of these small, sealed (密封的) boxes has one of many toy figures in a series (系列的) inside. The buyer doesn’t know which figure they’ve got until they open the box. The start of blind boxes can be dated back to lucky bags sold in Japan from the late 1860s. In recent years it becomes big business in China.
During the Double 11 shopping festival, POP MART, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 LABUBU dolls on Tmall in just 9 seconds according to a Tmall report.
One reason for their popularity is the lovely look of the figures inside the boxes. They’re like small cartoon characters. They can be put anywhere in your home to make your home more beautiful and lovely. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is the fun of being surprised. “The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap between what you expect and what you get.” said Wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing. The excitement of getting the exact thing you want is like winning the lottery.
The boxes are certainly enjoyable to some. However, others worry that children might spend too much money on these toys. “The blind box economy makes use of gambling psychology (赌博心理),” said Liu Chunsheng, “young people want to look for the excitement brought by higher risks, which leads to impulse buying (即兴购买).” Last year, over 200,0 Chinese customers spent more than 20, 000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z (those born after 1995), according to a report by Tmall.

9 . Imagine there is a glass of water on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass? Do you say it is half full or half empty?
If you say half full, you might be an optimist. If you say half empty, you might be the opposite—pessimist.
A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect (影响) your health. People who are optimistic (乐观的) may live longer than those who are pessimistic.
Researchers at Harvard University’s School of Public Health in Boston did the study. They compared women with “a general expectation that good things will happen” to women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer (癌症) and heart disease.
Kaitlin Hagan, a study leader says optimists always take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.
She also says earlier studies show that a person can use simple, low-cost ways to increase (增加) optimism. She says each night people should plan to do two or three simple, enjoyable activities the next day. These activities might include watching the sunrise, visiting a friend dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child.

10 . There are hundreds of mountains in the world. Some are very famous in the world. Qomolangma at 8,844.43m is the tallest mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest in Africa. Mount Blanc is the highest in Europe. Do you know that the smallest mountain is in Australia?
The smallest mountain in the world is Mount Wycheproof at 141 feet. However, this mountain stands 486 feet above the sea level (海平面). It is in the small town of Wycheproof with a population of 789.

People always have the Grain Festival, family picnic and dinner on the mountain every year. The government has spent much money on the mountain to make it more enjoyable for visitors.
