The Internet has made learning English much easier. English learners used to be __1__ to spend their time in libraries looking for the books that would help them in their language learning. It was very inconvenient because a lot of materials were __2__ in numerous textbooks and readers. But today content on a variety of subjects is only a click away. This is especially __3__ for those who are serious about learning English. In order to achieve fluency in English, you need to be comfortable using at least 10,000 words.

To spend or save is a question which many people have in their mind. They are always in a(n) __1__ whether they should spend the money that they have earned or save that money for the future. Well, there is no __2__ answer to the question as different people have different __3__ on life, and that is the reason why some people tend to spend all their money while others __4__ control over their money. People who spend all their money do not think much about the future. What they enjoy doing is to get pleasure from spending money. For example, if they like a(n) __5__ car, mobile phone, or laptop, they will buy it without giving it a second thought. For them, the most important thing is to satisfy their growing material __6__. In the long run, saving helps people __7__ their personal finances as saving helps an individual better plan for future __8__ needs. From our everyday life, we can see that individuals who can __9__ their spending save money successfully. Instead of buying things on impulse, they delay their purchasing decision and are not easily __10__ by commercial ads. Individuals who have responsibility for their family or their loved ones often belong to this group.

Being simple is not necessarily about having less. It can be about having more: more time, more enjoyment, more accomplishment, and more of what __1__ you. If some activities don't bring you any benefits, doing less or none of them makes sense, because it may eventually do harm to you to __2__ all of them. The purpose of being simple is to remove what's not important. To understand what should be __3__, try to think of activities as either assets or "obligations". An asset is something that is valuable. One __4__ example is learning to manage your money. A little more broadly, an asset is anything that can strengthen and __5__ you, moving you closer to your goals. However, the "obligations" are a kind of __6__ debt, anything that weakens you, moves you farther from your goals, provides negative stress, and creates anxiety. Then how can you __7__ the idea of being simple? Think about your daily activities and set a(n) __8__. You list your daily routines such as paying bills and planning a birthday party for a friend. Don't just __9__ around your hobbies. Ask yourself if the activities get you closer to your goals. If not, __10__ the list – remove what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is more important for you.

The center of American automobile innovation has in the past decade moved 2,000 miles away. It has __1__ from Detroit to Silicon Valley, where self-driving vehicles are coming into life. In a __2__ to take production back to Detroit,Michigan lawmakers have introduced __3__ that could make their state the best place in the country, if not the world, to develop self- driving vehicles and put them on the road. "Michigan's __4__ in auto research and development is under attack from several states and countries which desire to __5__ our leadership in transportation. We can't let it happen," says Senator Mike Kowall, the lead __6__ of four bills recently introduced. If all four bills pass as written, they would __7__ a substantial update of Michigan's 2013 law that allowed the testing of self-driving vehicles in limited conditions. Manufacturer would have nearly total freedom to test their self-driving technology on public roads. They would be allowed to send group s of self-driving cars on cross-state road trips, and even set on-demand __8__ of self-driving cars, like the one General Motors and Lyft are building. Lawmakers in Michigan clearly want to make the state ready for the commercial application of self-driving technology. In __9__ , California, home of Silicon Valley, recently proposed far more __10__ rules that would require human drivers be ready to take the wheel, and commercial use of self-driving technology.

When choosing a college or major, you need to examine yourself: What are your __1__ and strengths? What are your weaknesses? What do you want out of life? Are you socially __2__ or do you need family and friends' support in order to __3__ what you have decided is right? Your college does not have to be bigger than your high school. Don't be __4__ with the size of your college. Since a smaller community is more favorable for self-exploration, many __5__ colleges have a smaller student population. It is not the number of people, but the people themselves and the kind of school community in which you will learn that really matter. You don't have to __6__ to other people's help, but think about the people in your life who are happy and successful and find out where they went to college. You will __7__ find that success in life has less to do with the choice of college than with the experience and opportunities you'll __8__ while in college, coupled with personal qualities and traits. There are many __9__ to major in, but you may need the variety and depth of college coursework to determine the major you are __10__ about. Whether you choose your major out of personal interest or for the needs of society and the country, you may possibly change your mind, even two or three times, before you finally settle on one.

Ms. Wang has been happy with her new job with a software company. "It offers a big __1__ for me to develop, and I can learn much!" she said. Like Ms. Wang, a growing number of young Chinese workers are demanding that their voices be heard and __2__ themselves more in the workplace. Young people have become the main population in China's talent market, according to a report __3__ earlier this year. Therefore, many companies are doubling their efforts to attract and __4__ this vital group. Raised in the time of great social and economic change in China, this generation has __5__ as well-educated, highly resourceful members of the workforce.

There are three main types of financial stress people encounter.The first type is apparent in people being stressed about the __1__ ups and downs of investment markets—actually not so much the ups, but __2__ the downs.These people are usually unable or unprepared to endure the long haul. The next common type of financial stress is that caused by debt.In a __3__ percentage of cases of debt-induced financial stress,credit cards and loans will be a central element.Often there'll be a car loan and perhaps a mortgage,but credit cards often seem to be the gateway to debt-related financial difficulties for many. The third type of stress and __4__ the least known is inherited financial stress,which is the most destructive.It is experienced by those who have grown up in households where their parents regularly __5__ and fought about money.Money therefore becomes a stressful topic,and so the thought of sitting down and planning is an unattractive __6__.Those suffering inherited financial anxiety __7__ to follow one of two patterns.Either they put their head in the sand:they would __8__ examining their financial statements, budgeting, and discussing financial matters with those closest to them.Alternatively,they would go to the other __9__ and micro-analyze everything,to the point of complete __10__.They're convinced that whatever decision they make will be the wrong one.

Most animals seek shade when temperatures in the Sahara Desert soar to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. But for the Saharan silver ant, __1__ from their underground nests into the sun's brutal rays to __2__ for food, this is the perfect time to seek lunch. In 2015 these ants were joined in the desert by scientists from two Belgian universities, who spent a month in the __3__ heat tracking the ants and digging out their nests. The goal was simple, to discover how the __4__ adapted to the kind of heat that can __5__ melt the bottom of shoes. Back in Belgium, the scientists looked at the ants under an electronic microscope and found that their __6__, triangular hair reflects light like a prism (棱镜), giving them a metallic reflection and protecting them from the sun's awful heat. When Ph.D. student Quentin Willot __7__ the hair from an ant with a __8__ knife and put it under a heat lamp, its temperature jumped. The ants' method of staying cool is __9__ among animals. Could this reflective type of hair protect people? Willot says companies are interested in __10__ these ants' method of heat protection for human use, including everything from helping to protect the lives of firefighters to keeping homes cool in summer.

You might think of your teeth as tools,like built-in knives and forks,but if they are mere tools,why do they feel pain and wouldn't it be better if they could just __1__ under any condition?In spite of our __2__ discomfort,it turns out there's a good reason our teeth are so sensitive.Tooth pain is a __3__ mechanism that ensures when a tooth is being damaged we'll notice and do something about it. If we eat something too hot or too cold, or if the tooth is worn down enough where the tissue __4__ is exposed,allof those things cause pain,and then the pain causes the person not to use that tooth to try to protect it a little bit more.So it's really a protective mechanism more than anything else.If teeth didn't feel pain,we might __5__ to use them in situations that damage them,and for humans,damaging __6__ teeth is a problem because,unlike crocodiles,we can't __7__ them. Teeth have three layers,only one of which—the innermost layer of the tooth—can hurt,as that layer of the tooth __8__ both blood vessels and nerves,Pain is the only feeling to which the nerves in that layer respond.Whereas people with tooth sensitivity may complain,for example,of tooth pain __9__ by heat or cold,the nerves in the inner layer don't sense temperature.Rather,they feel pain,which may be __10__ with,say,drinking something very cold.

Exercising for just10 minutes a week is linked to a longer life,according to a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine. Several recent studies have found that even low-intensity exercise,done for a short amount of time,can have a meaningful __1__ on health.Still,the idea that exercising for just10 minutes a week may be enough to increase your lifespan is novel.It's also somewhat __2__ since the federal physical activity guidelines recommend getting at least 75 minutes of vigorous exercise or 150 minutes of __3__ exercise each week. The study was based on data from more than 88,000 U.S.adults who __4__ in the National Health Interview Survey between 1997 and 2008. Contrary to some research that has found an __5__ limit to the amount of exercise that is healthy,the researchers found that there was __6__ no limit to the longevity( 长寿)benefits of exercise.Even the small group of people who got 10 times the amount of exercise recommended by the federal government had a 46%lower __7__ of death than the least active group. Still,observational studies like this one cannot prove cause and effect;they can only find __8__.The researchers also were not able to __9__ for certain lifestyle factors that could affect lifespan,including dietary habits and changes in physical activity over time.Despite these __10__,the study's results are yet another indication of the power of physical activity,even in small amounts.

It's well known that physical exercise is beneficial not just to physical health but also to mental health. Yet whereas most countries have __1__evidence-backed guidelines on the type and intensity of exercise __2__for various physical health benefits, such guidelines do not yet exist for exercise and mood. This is __3__due to a lack of necessary evidence. However, a new systematic review brings us usefully up-to-date on the current findings in this area. Before __4__into some of the key take-aways, an important __5__made in the review is between aerobic exercise and anaerobic. The former__6__such things as walking, jogging and cycling and means exercising in such a way that your body is able to use oxygen to burn fat for energy. In contrast, anaerobic exercise—such as lifting heavy weights—is of such __7__intensity that your body does not have time to use oxygen to create energy and so instead it breaks down glucose (葡萄糖) in your blood or muscles. Beginning first with the influence of exercise intensity on the mood benefits of aerobic exercise, the researchers, led by John Chan at Shenzhen University, found __8__results from 19 relevant studies. Some favoured higher intensity, others low, while seven studies found that intensity made no __9__to mood benefits. In relation to the intensity of anaerobic exercise, however, the results were far clearer—the optimum (最佳选择) for improving mood is __10__intensity, perhaps because low intensity is too dull while high intensity is too unpleasant.

众所周知，中国书法（calligraphy）是一门独特的艺术，也是世界上独一无二的艺术瑰宝（treasure）。汉字在漫长的演变过程中，始终起着交流思想、传承文化的重要作用。很显然，中国书法的形成、发展与汉字的演变存在着密不可分的关系。
