In the past few years, I have found that mental illness has been a term largely avoided in conversation, and this has a bad impact on those     1     depression, anxiety and other mental diseases. What’s worse, the topic of mental illness     2     when the news draws our attention to it, but then the conversation quiets until the next tragedy (悲剧) happens.

It’s time for the conversation to continue. Instead of waiting for the next tragedy, we need to be open about mental health and about the struggles that come with mental illness and treatment. We need to develop an environment where people feel comfortable to seek the help they need instead of concealing (掩盖) it.

It took a long time, but I am now open about my anxiety and depression. I am open about my taking medicine to treat my mental illness. I am open about the struggle of finding the     3     that works. I encourage everyone to do the same. Be     4     and open with your conversations about mental health. The more comfortable people are with these conversations, the easier it will be for the conversation to continue. A continued conversation will     5     more ideas on treatment and more ideas on how to     6     those who need it.

We have the ability to help those we love and break the shame around mental illness. We should change the idea that it’s something that needs to be cured people of. Mental illness can actually affect anyone, impacting one     7     every four people.

So,    8    , let’s keep the conversation about mental health and mental illness open. Be sure to check up on your friends, and be open about the importance of mental health. If you’re uncomfortable, share your story, which may let others know they are not     9    . Just as Albus Dumbledo re said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers     10     the light.”

E-Scooters

Over the past two years, electric scooters have become ever-present in many of Europe and America’s biggest cities. Britain is the last major western European country to hold out against the     1    . E-scooters are not allowed on public roads, though people do ride them on cycle     2     and pavements. But where they are permitted, the number of e-scooter sharing companies soars     3    . To their     4    , e-scooters are revolutionary: the “iPhone Of urban transport”. To their critics (批评者), they are dangerous, anti-social and very annoying.

As with a dockless (无桩) bike, scooters are fitted with GPS trackers and wireless     5    . Customers download an app and scan a QR code on the scooter to unlock it. They are then     6     a small amount. Bird, which launched its e-scooter in Santa Monica, California in September 2017 charges $l plus 15 cents per minute, on average, in the US-to travel where they want to go, at a maximum speed of around 15mph. At night, the scooters are rounded up, charged and returned to popularity.

E-Scooters have the potential to solve some of the worlds biggest transport problems. Most cities are already dangerously polluted and heavily congested, and it is simply not an option to put more cars and taxis on the streets. Scooters are efficient; one kilowatt hour of energy carries a car     7     by petrol less than a mile, and an e-scooter 80 miles.

Scooters are clean, cheap, and they require little new infrastructure. For a country like car-     8     America, they could genuinely transform an     9     60% of US journeys under six miles. Even in European cities, which     10     have good public transport systems, they are very useful for travelling the “final mile”. According to Bird,40% of taxi-riding journeys in London are under two miles, so e-scooters could help take a lot of cars off the streets.

7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One of my most memorable trips took place during the summer vacation about three years ago, when my sister, my aunt and I took a trip to Spain because we were moving. On the day of the trip, I lay in bed thinking about my friends whom I was going to leave behind and thoughts were flooding in. I was not comfortable and cried.

We had to book a van (厢式送货车) to take our luggage to the airport, because it was too much for a taxi. We waited for a long period to find a perfect van that would fit our luggage.

The journey was almost perfect at the beginning, but soon it began to rain. Because of the rain, the drivers could not see far away, which caused a huge traffic jam. I was sitting by the window with a can of Coke. My aunt and sister fell asleep, and during this time, I felt bored and thought about other things that bothered me. My eyes turned to the mountain in front of us.

A bus suddenly appeared in the picture. It was very close to us. Cars sped past us without any speed limit. Beside me was a very deep lake: I wondered to myself what if something or someone fell inside it. Suddenly, a bus in front of our van stopped, and because it was raining heavily and the van was going fast, no one could see what was going to happen. Then, bang, we bumped into each other. Our van overturned, but luckily, it didn’t fall into the lake. People came to help us get out of the van because we were blocked and the driver was half-dead.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为一段，开头语已为你写好。

We struggled to get out of the van and waited for the emergency aid to come.

10 . ‌“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic(国内的)tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.

Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists.

By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.

Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural(农村的)areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.

Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
