In addition, most of the old folk houses with their    7    (roof) made of straw needed regular replacement and Luo had their original appearance     8    (restore).

There are 25 such eco-museums in the province, which are in line     9     sustainable development principles. Not only do they guide villagers to perform independent-management and activate their passion for preserving their traditional cultures, but they create more jobs and give     10    boost to local tourism.

On recent weekends,visitors from surrounding cities, provinces and even     1     (far) away are rushing to try Zibo barbecue. A local citizen surnamed Wei said, “We locals can’t even eat at nearby barbecue restaurants on weekends due to the long queues.” Pancakes,scallions and table-top barbecues     2     (see) as essential items for customers, and the immersive barbecue mode has met the taste and social needs of young customers.

Doctors in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have followed the meal-time habits of more than 500 people for six years,     1    (find) weight change is most affected by the size and     2    (frequent) of meals rather than the interval (间隔) from first to last meal. It challenges the popular trend of intermittent fasting (禁食疗方)     3     a useful weight loss strategy.

Intermittent fasting, also referred to as time-restricted feeding, is a dietary strategy where all meals     4    (consume) during a short window of time each day. These windows can extend from 6 to 10 hours, resulting in a person essentially fasting for up to 18 hours each day.

The idea reveals     5     is no link between the lime of a person’s eating window each day and weight changes. “Based on other studies that have come out, including     6    (we), we are starting to think timing of meals most likely doesn’t produce     7     instant impact on weight loss,” said doctor Bennett. “What does matter, however, is the total number of medium and large meals a person eats over the day.” It suggests simply eating smaller meals, less frequently, is     8     ultimately leads to weight loss.

All of this doesn’t mean intermittent fasting strategies won’t help. But what does seem increasingly clear is that the weight loss benefits occasionally     9    (see) with these eating strategies may be primarily driven by a reduced caloric intake. It doesn’t mean you can simply eat all you want in a short window each day and still expect     10    (lose) weight.

China’s first zero-carbon demonstration zone was launched in Boao in 2022. By 2023, a total of 16 projects at the zone    2    (finish). The remaining projects are expected to be completed before the BFA 2024. The zone will achieve zero-carbon    3    (operate) in all aspects.

The construction of the demonstration zone maximizes the use of local wind, light, and heat resources,    4    (let) nature do the work. Photovoltaic (光伏的) power generation systems have been installed on buildings, parking lots, and landscape    5     (facility). According to recent estimates, the    6     (complete)16 projects, along with offset (抵消) measures, can reduce carbon emissions by 9,055.8 tons per year and provide 15.1 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity    7     (annual).

Also    8    primary note is the fact that the construction of the demonstration zone mainly relies on independent research. “We don’t have relevant experience    9    (refer) to, so we have to build the zone    10     doing our research and exploration,” Liu Ye, a professor at Tsinghua University, said to Xinhua.

Are you familiar with pop star Jay Chou’s Blue &White Porcelain? Its original lines, just     1     the composer Fang Wenshan described, were inspired by Ru porcelain (汝瓷).

Ranked best among famous kinds during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Ru porcelain is known for its unique pale blue glaze (釉). Oceans     2     Ru porcelain flooded onto the market around the year of 1100, but the     3     (exist) of Ru ware now is actually rare. Thanks to the efforts of Ru porcelain inheritors, people can now appreciate it     4     (close) at hand than before.

They have had an effect of socially     3     (empower) me and have improved my health and wellbeing. Apart from this, I have observed that traditional martial arts can play a crucial role in our daily lives once we     4     (equip) with the necessary self-defence skills. Of late, domestic violence and abuse cases     5     (increase) globally and in most cases, the victims are women and youngers, of     6     most are usually in a disadvantaged position as the     7     (major) of them possess little to no self-defence skills.

I feel martial arts have a role to play in the civil and modern society as they are     9     safer option of self-defence, compared to using weapons as defence mechanisms. Under any form of physical attack, I find traditional martial arts as perhaps one of the     10     (cheap) to fight perpetrator.
