3 . Recently actress Jia Ling has caused a heated discussion online.

People are     1     (surprise) at her weight loss of 50 kilograms in the movie YOLO. The movie is about the change of a woman, Le Ying, who gradually learns to love     2     (she). It does bring courage and warmth to our hearts.

“YOLO”, which stands for “you only live once”, might be the best explanation of her new movie. Jia says that this is not about boxing (拳击) or losing weight     3     about “learning to love yourself”. Jia’s excellent performance has also     4     (bring) depth to the character. She tells us that everyone can be whoever they like and live their own wonderful lives.

Jia’s story tells us that only by     5     (challenge) ourselves can we see the real change. But not everyone can lose weight. Losing weight     6     (require) a scientific plan. Moreover, losing weight is not the only way to find your true self and love yourself.

So what can we do to love ourselves     7     (true)? Firstly, you should take good care     8     yourself. Eating well and exercising more are good for your health. Secondly, start by having a deep     9     (communicate) with yourself. Try to know what you love and do it bravely. Then believe yourself. Lastly, don’t lose the courage to begin again. Now start     10     journey of self-love today.

4 . Many museums have works of art and some     1     (著名的) pieces that can never be replaced. These museums give the public a     2     (机会) to enjoy their treasures. In the past, people could     3     (不常，很少) talk when visiting museums. Today, rules aren’t as strict, but following some rules is still necessary.

First, respect the space. Keep the museum space clean and throw away all rubbish.     4     (避免) standing against walls and watch where you walk. No     5     (食物) is allowed. Finish eating all the food before     6     (进来，进去) the museum.

Second, respect the art. No touching the art. Hands, fingers or any body part should never come into contact with the artwork.     7     (某人) thinks a small touch won’t hurt the artwork, but     8     (想象) how those “touches” would add up with hundreds or thousands of visitors every day. No flash photos. Without     9     (疑惑，疑问), bright lights can be harmful to the art.

Third, respect other visitors. Complete silence isn’t necessary, but talk in a     10     (低的) voice. Stand in lines while buying tickets or waiting.

5 . It is reported that more and more people are trying Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a result, China has become the     1     (中心) of herbal planting. Nobody can tell when the Chinese started to     2     (发现) the magical use of the different herbs. There are many stories talking about the starting of the Traditional Chinese Medicine. And the story of Shen Nong collecting herbs has been most     3     (广泛地) spread.

Shen Nong found that some     4     (叶子) of plants could help stop illness. He tried more than 300 kinds of herbs on himself to make sure of the     5     (安全) of the herbs before he used them on the patients. He always stayed     6     (在……旁边) the patients after giving them the herbs so that he could     7     (支持) them in time. Sometimes he was so     8     (瞌睡的) but he kept watching them. Shen Nong is the true hero without     9     (疑问)!

Thousands of years later, the Traditional Chinese Medicine is still playing an important role in helping those in need. We are proud of the     10     (东方的) wisdom.

6 . When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) i    1     of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just a    2     beneficial (有益的) as reading a book?

Reading needs us to focus (集中) all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks a    3     and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.

B    4     the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. V    5     in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled the same amount (量) of i    6    , whether they listened to it or read it.

A    7     study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further supported (支持) the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the s    8     parts of the brain as reading does.

However, some people still b    9     that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason m    10     be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking (处理多个任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.

One Wednesday morning, 68-year-old Mary Johnson     1     (open) her history book and started     2     (discuss) with her students online.

Mary is a teacher of     3     online history class. She started the class at the beginning     4     2020. She gives two classes a week and has spent more than 80 hours     5     (teach). Student David White, 60, said, “Mary is an amazing teacher. She always makes history interesting for us and explains historical events in a way that’s easy to understand.”

Mary was a librarian     6     she retired (退休). But she didn’t work with history books. Mary found that many people knew very little about history. Then she decided to teach them by     7     (she). She studied hard and became quite knowledgeable. After retiring, she worked as a museum guide.     8    , she didn’t stop learning. She continues to study history at a local college. She believes that it’s important for seniors (年长的人)     9     (make) their life more     10     (mean).

8 . My favorite teacher is Mr. Zhao. He has made     1     big difference in my life. I was     2     (real) shy and nervous on the first day at school. But Mr. Zhao was     3     kind that I soon forgot about that. In     4     (he) first class, he asked us to draw a picture of ourselves.

When he     5     (get) to my desk, he looked at my picture and said,   “Wow! I like those bright     6     (color)! That’s great!” I felt     7     (relax) at once. Mr. Zhao is patient and he always     8     (tell) us not to worry about giving wrong answers. Also, he shows us how to learn     9     our mistakes. Now I am in the     10     (nine) grade, and I’m leaving school. I will remember all the suggestions he has given me.
