Violence and wars have been part of our lives since the beginning of the human race.So achieving world peace is what many people are pursuing ,but how can we make it? I think the first thing we can do is to  (1)  the enemy of indifference.

When I was growing up, I enjoyed watching Superman. The superman would win a victory over the villain(坏人) and save the girl in danger!   (2)  , as I grew older, I recognized superheroes are not always men that possess superpowers, but are  (3)  people like you and me who decide to  (4)  something. Girls in danger are often pitiful children begging for food, or a poor woman  (5)  to get an education. But most of all, the villain   (6)   seeks to take over the world in reality, but rather, our  (7)   . This villain is called indifference, which will give you every  (8)    to turn your back on others’ pain.

“It’s not your fault .You’re just a kid. This task is too big for you to   (9)   . Why should you care about the  (10)   of people thousands of miles away from you?” the villain will say to you.

   (11)   the enemy of indifference slides into the hearts of many people, standing up   (12)  him is the first step towards world peace. We can’t fight for a cause we don’t   (13)   . We must have all read statistics about AIDs or poverty,    (14)   how many times do we look at the statistics and  (15)  the face of a friend, a lover, a parent, or a sibling? Visualize the   (16)  on the street begging as your future son or daughter. Learn to care and give  (17)  .

I believe that we all can make a difference. But to accomplish this, we must  (18)   our way of current thinking, and  (19)   ourselves of the thought that I cannot make a difference. What we do really   (20)  . It all starts by making a choice to care about the people suffering across the street, and across the world.

It’s believed that intelligent people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, __  (1)  __, are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most common __  (2)  _ language learners make and how to correct them.

Not listening enough

There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning __  (3)  _ a “silent period”. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, and help learners see patterns in language.

Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be __  (4)  __ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the __  (5)  __ language, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.

A single method

Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to __  (6)  __ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use __  (7)  _ methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the __  (8)  __ can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that __  (9)  __ the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). For self-study, try a __  (10)  _ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps.

__  (11)  __

It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of __  (12)  __ or insecurity hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too __  (13)  __ making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would _  (14)  __ them.

The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors __  (15)  __ they become deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve.

One of the most beautiful qualities of a close relationship is the give and take of energy that occurs between two people. In the best cases, both people share the talking and listening, and the giving and receiving of   (1)  , equally. Sometimes, within any relationship, the   (2)   changes and one person needs to listen more or give more.   (3)  , over a long period of time, even this exception will take on a balanced   (4)  ; we all go through times when we take more and times when we   (5)   more. 

However, there are also relationships in which the balance has always felt one-sided. You may have a friend whom you like, but you have begun to notice that the   (6)   is always about his life and his problems and   (7)   about yours. You may also have a friend who seems to   (8)   alarge amount of support from you but who is unable or unwilling to give much  (9)  . Over time, these relationships can be tiring and   (10)  . One choice is simply to end the relationship, or let it   (11)   naturally. Another choice is to communicate with your friend that you would like to create a more equal balance in which your   (12)   also get some attention. He may feel surprised at first, but   (13)   he is able to hear you, your friendship will become much more   (14)  . He may even thank you for showing him a pattern that is probably   (15)   more than one relationship in his life. 

A third choice is to simply   (16)   the relationship as it is. There are many one-sided relationships that actually work. One example of this is a teacher-student relationship in which you are   (17)   from someone. Another example is a relationship in which you are   (18)   someone who is sick, disabled, or otherwise needy. In these cases, you can simply be   (19)   that you are able to help or be helped, believing that the balance of give and take will be   (20)  inthe big picture of your life. 

Every dream has something to do with our feelings, longings, wishes, needs, fears, and memories. But something on the “outside” may affect what we    (1)   . If a person is hungry or tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the    (2)   on your body has slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are    (3)     or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will     (4)    tonight is probably to come from the experiences you have today.

       (5)    the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you     (6)     you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young     (7)    are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations,     (8)     people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.

     To show you how that is    (9)    while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream,    (10)    is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his    (11)     was rubbed     (12)   a piece of cotton. He would dream that he     (13)     in a hospital and his girlfriend was visiting him,    (14)    on the bed and feeling gently his hand!

     There are some scientists who have made a special    (15)   of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams    (16)    . Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it    (17)    an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are     (18)     expressions of wishes that didn’t    (19)    . In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes     (20)    out.

Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970，when the average age of independent living was 21? Why have reduced class sizes and increased per-pupil expenditures (花销）not  (1 )  higher academic achievement levels? Why is the mental health of today’s kids so poor when   (2 )  with that of children in the 1960s and before? Why do today’s    ( 3)  become defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school?

The answer in two words: parental   (4)  . Those two words best summarize the   (5 )   between “old” child raising and new, post-1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be  ( 6 )  involved with their kids. They were available    (7)   crisis, but they stood a (an)  ( 8 )   distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trial-and-error process. It was the child’s   ( 9 )  , back then, to keep his or her parents from getting involved. That was   (10)    children learned to be responsible and determined.

Today’s parents help their kids with almost everything. These are parents who are  (11)  when it comes to an understanding of their purpose in their kids’ lives. Their involvement leads them to personalize everything that happens to their kids;     (12)  , the defensiveness. But given that schools and mental health professionals have been pushing parent involvement for nearly four decades, the confusion and defensiveness are  (13)    .

University researchers analyzed three decades of data relating to parent participation in children’s academics. Their conclusions   (14)    what I’ve been saying since the 1980s: parental help with homework  (15)  a child’s academic achievement and is not reflected on standardized tests.

Parents who manage a child’s social life interfere with the    (16)    of good social skills. Parents who manage a child’s after-school activities grow kids who don’t know how to    (17)    their own free time. Parents who get involved in their kids,   (18)        with peers grow kids who don’t know how to avoid much less trouble.

These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don’t want to leave their     (19)   . And their parents, when the time comes, don’t know how to     (20)    being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all !It speaks   (1)  than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more  (2)  than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication（非言语交际） takes up about 50% of what we really  (3)  , And body language is particularly  (4)  when we attempt to communicate across cultures（文化）. what is called body language is so  (5)  ，a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed。And misunderstandings occur as a result of it   (6)  , different societies treat the  (7)  , between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having  (8)  , contact（接触）

　　even with friends, certainly not with  (9)  . People from Latin American countries  (10)  , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in  (11)  . it may look like a Latino is  (12)  a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving  (13)  . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep  (14)  which the Latino will in return regard as  (15)  .

　　Clearly, a great deal is going on when people  (16)  And only a part of it is in the wards themselves. And when parties are from   (17)  cultures, there's a strong possibility of   (18)  . But whatever the situation, the best  (19)  is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be  (20)  .

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect   (1)   of Chinglish.

Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal   (2)  of the Chinese greetings with a ruined English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American   (3)   . I was too surprised to believe her. Her words could not    (4)    me at all. So I did a    (5)   on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages   (6)   “ Long time no see”. This sentence has been    (7)   used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is     (8)   informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.   (9)   , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the   (10)   will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the   (11)   of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1930s, Hollywood movie-makers successfully   (12)   a world wide famous Chinese detective named “ Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom   (13)   quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a   (14)   phrase in the real world     (15)   the popularity of these movies.

Some people   (16)   America to a huge melting pot(大熔炉). All kinds of culture are   (17)   in the pot together, and they   (18)   the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数种族) group in the United States, is also   (19)  some changes to the stew(混杂物)! Language is usually the first thing to be   (20)   in the mixed pot.

When people don’t know the language, the most common way is  (1)  communicate with  47   .However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meanings at all. In different parts of the world, in the United States,  (2)  example,  (3)  your head  50  .“Yes.” In some parts of Greece and Turkey,   (4)  , this motion can mean“  52   ”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head  (5)  a polite way of    (6)   “I hear you.”

In ancient Rome,  (7)  the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his  (8)  up. Today in the United States, when someone put his/ her thumb  (9)  , it means “  (10)  ”. However in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and  (11)  not be used there.

In the United States,  (12)  your clasped hands  (13)  your head means “I’m the champion.” Or “ I’m the winner.” It is the sign fighters make  (14)  they win a fight. When a leading Russian Statesman made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of  63 .

In the United States,  (15)  your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the  (16)    three fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.” And is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “ You are worth nothing.”
