Many of us were raised with the saying “Waste not, want not.” None of us, however, can 61   (complete) avoid waste in our lives.

    Any kind of waste is thoughtless. Whether we waste our potential talents, our own time, our limited   62 (nature) resource, our       money, 63  other people’s time, each of us can become more aware and careful. The smallest good habits can make a big   64 (differ). It’s a good feeling to know in our hearts we are doing our best in a world  65  is in serious trouble. By being devoted to 66  (save) oil, water, paper, food, and clothing, we are playing   67 part in cutting down on waste.

     We must keep reminding 68   (we) that it is easier to get into something than it is to get out of it. Actually, severe damage  69  (do) to our land is fairly recent in the history of our evolution. It’s time for us to say no to waste so that our grandchildren’s children  70  (be)able to develop well. We can’t solve all the problems of waste, but we can encourage mindfulness.

　　More than half of all Chinese have a smartphone. They reach for it the moment they wake up， keeping it in hand all day. At    ​61        (party)， more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. In addition， too many people are using smartphones while        62        (drive). And as a result， many car accidents happen everyday on the road. Drivers confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. Smartphones are unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of        63        (them) and others. As many people take risks just        64       ​ (send) a text or check their messages， smartphones are        65        many ways very dangerous to people.

　　The smartphone        66        (affect) our desire　to communicate face to face with others. Besides， it is lowering people’s competence to communicate. In many cases， some people check or send text messages in the presence of a friend，        67        means that the person they are texting is more important. Most        68        (serious)， relying on smartphones to make friends does not give us        69        same advantage as making new friends in the real world. Face－to－face conversations will give us much        70        (strong) communication skills in the long run.

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

The answer depends largely  61  cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color  62  represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children   63   (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect   64  against evils（灾祸）.

People’s   65   (choose)of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them. Green is said to be   66   most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally（精神上）  67   physically. People   68   (work) in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.

Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial（商业的）websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that   69  (easy) catches a person’s eye.

Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So   70  you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

      “How did I do, Doctor？” the patient 61____________ (wonder)．

      She replied, “Let’s put it this way—they are just some 62____________ (number)．”

      “But Doctor, ”he argued，“this is the way I see it！”

      I find I’m in the same situation most of the time.Much of my happiness or unhappiness is a result of my perception(看法)．“This is the way I see it，”I tell 63____________ (me)．

      I see some problems as challenges that encourage me 64____________ (take)action and others as obstacles that stop further progress.It’s just the way I see it.

      And sometimes I see new situations as fun，and other times I see them as fearful.

      My life can be OK if I see it that way, or it can be a major source of stress.And an unexpected thing in my schedule can be a bother or，if I see it that way, 65____________ (possible)the best thing I could do that day.Even an 66____________ (embarrass)mistake can be the beginning of a new learning.

     One of 67____________ greatest blocks to my happiness is forgetting that it is 68____________ (much)about the way I see it than what is happening to me.

     As Marcel Proust said, “The real voyage of discovery lies not in  69________________ (seek)new landscapes, 70__________ in having new eyes.”It’s in the way we see it.

An old farmer was about to die. He wanted to make  61  that his sons would stop fighting among   62   (they).He hoped to encourage them to manage the farm  63   (success).The old man called his sons together and said, “My sons, I’m about   64   (leave) this life. You will find all that I have in the farm.”

Some time later, after their father had died, the sons started to spend long hours  65   (work) in the fields. They thought their father  66   (bury) a treasure in the ground. They kept   ploughing from morn till night, turning the soil over again and again,   67   still failed to find any treasure. That year’s crops, however, were  68   (good)than any of their father’s crops and sold for   69   very good price.   70   the end, the young men found that working hard is truly a treasure in itself.

It is common for teenagers to feel  61  （alone）and  misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of   62  growing pains ---the difficulties     63          teenagers face as they grow to adults.

    As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become    64 (confuse) with the changing world both inside and outside of them.  During adolescence, they grow taller and their voices get    65    (deep). In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on   66 (they). They desire   67  (independent). However, they have difficulty   68    (balance) their needs. They often question who they are and how they fit in society.

In the end, everything turns    69    Ok----the teenager becomes a    70    (health) adult.
