Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more     1     (relax) and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming a hit among urban youngsters.

Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about walking around a city on foot, experiencing the atmosphere and     2     (find) unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event     3     people embark (开始) on a journey led by tour guides or     4     (simple) explore the streets.

Such walks generally avoid hot tourist     5     (attract) and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions     6     the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.

Various videos about Citywalk     7     (post) over Chinese multiple social media platforms in recent months.

What on earth does happiness mean? I can’t give you its exact definition, but I’m sure if you love and help others you’ll get it.

I’ll never forget an old lady. She lives in    1    small house alone. It is said that her husband and her son    2    (die) in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter, but she often helps others     3    a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first    4    (clean) the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of    5       (laugh) and love.

But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They talk    6    (noisy) in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time,    7     they will never get true happiness because they    8    (lose) their personality already.

Now I know what happiness is.    9    means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, I have come to understand that    10    (bring) happiness to others is getting ourselves happiness.

Eleven years after having Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默病) disease, 91-year-old Wu Mingzhu sometimes fails     1     (recognize) her previous colleagues or even family members     2     live by her side. But her memory of the melon varieties (种类) she developed while working in Xinjiang remains.

Born in Hubei Province, she     3     (admit) to Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in the late 1940s. Wu filed     4     application in 1955, and finally received an agreement. In the winter of the same year, she boarded a truck with all her     5     (possession) and left for Xinjiang.

She developed new resources—10 watermelon varieties and 19 muskmelon varieties, featuring characteristics like better disease resistance, finer fruit quality, and greater adaptability,     9     (help) the farmers fatten their wallets. So we Chinese can     10     (crazy) eat watermelons in the hot summers.
