Everybody has different ways achieving happiness and the reasons for feeling happy may change from year to year, or even from day to day. For example, happiness may     1     from getting a good grade on school assignment or from a very     2     thing like having full stomach. This kind of happiness is inside of you — it is     3     happiness. Happiness is also something you can communicate to other people. The good grade you     4     on your paper will probably make your parents happy and proud. Another way of communicating happiness is to help other people over     5     experiences in their own lives. In this situation, you give off your own happiness to make others happy.

The most important things to remember in your pursuit (追求) of     6     are:

1. Happiness should not be your only     7    — a real goal, like better grades, a better job, or closer friends, is sure to give more happiness than chasing after a feeling.

2. Happiness may come in all sizes and     8    . If you keep your sense of humor and see things in a balanced way, happiness will come to you     9     than to the person who is always worrying about what tomorrow will bring.

3. Happiness is meant to be     10    . “Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.”

In recent years, many well-known colleges abroad allow you to interview with an admissions representative(招生代表), either on campus or in your hometown.

In university application process, the     1     is of great importance. A     2     at interview tips will tell you to smile, make eye     3    , and shake the interviewer’s hand firmly. Unfortunately, few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for.

Remember that most interviews are won or lost before you ever go into them. I am frequently     4     by that fact that many really smart, diligent students do little research before they go into their interview. So when asked questions, they often feel     5    . You should, for example, be able to find out where your interview—all with just a few minutes of googling.

More importantly, you should do a lot of research on the university in question in     6     to knowing the school’s ranking in The US News and Word Reports. You won’t be     7     when you reply to the question “Why do you want to attend this university?” with the answer “Well, you know that it is a very famous school.” Think of it from the school’s point of view, after all, you want this school to     8     you to just another excellent Chinese student.

Tell them why you would choose them rather than another excellent American university. If you are interested in biology, be sure to know the biology professors’ names. If you are     9     with camping, be sure to know the name of the outdoors club at the school. Find ways to     10     your interests and goals to what that school has to offer in particular.

It is said that museums play an important part in education. Those youngsters who visit museums     1     are likely to get their mind broadened. The list of the reasons might be long. The main factor is that, by attending different exhibitions in the museum, children have     2     to the trace of history and the     3     human civilization. The exhibited items in museums carry rich information,     4     evolution, habitats, industry, art, religion and so on. Educators in     5     sincerely advise that children should be guided to take advantage of museums. They insist that a visit should     6       hours because it takes children some time to watch the items, collect the related information and imagine the site or picture they reflect. Meanwhile, the staff are required to prepare the exhibition carefully to     7     that most visitors are able to enjoy a satisfactory travel there, and the collections and the     8     are under full protection to avoid any possible     9    . Parents and school are to take museums as a/an     10     way to make children taste or study the development of history.

The film was inspired by the evacuation of nearly 600 Chinese citizens in Yemens port of Aden during Yemen’s civil war in 2015.

The Chinese Navy’s Jiaolong Assault Team is sent on a mission to rescue hostages(人质) that eventually takes them on a quest to stop terrorists     1     possession of nuclear materials.

This film Operation Red Sea sacrifices plot and character development for action, and fortunately it     2    . The film editing, sound editing sound mixing, visual effects, action, original score and production design are just     3    .

Having borrowed ideas from several Hollywood blockbusters, Operation Red Sea is     4     every great, good and decent war movie rolled into one amazing spectacle. It’s hard to think of a more ambitious and versatile action war movie that does it anywhere close to this level.

What’s most amazing about the film is how quickly it can shift gears (排挡，齿轮). It kicks off with a Navy Seals like rescue mission before turning to a Black Hawk Down city under siege (围攻) effort. The next scene     5     into a Tears of the Sun type protect the innocents endeavor then nerve damaging shootouts like American Sniper. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, the action     6     towards a fury-style tank battle.

While     7     over the top, Lam doesn’t treat the soldiers as superheroes. Few emerge completely unscratched while others suffer some terrible deaths.

Lam shows the ugliness of warfare without making it too unnecessary. The sight of car bomb and heavy gun attack victims still twitching     8     the desired effect and doesn’t come off like an excuse to show burnt and separated bodies.

The mission was similar in Wolf Warrior 2, but the real inspiration here seems to be Black Hawk Down. Lam’s sense of scale and logistics are outstanding, with scenes     9     across a war-destructed city cross-cut with tense desert showdowns.

Individual stunts are     10    . And despite some obvious effects. The crashes and explosions are far more ferocious than Hollywood offerings.
