He thought the ________ thing had happened and that everything was lost. He was very sad and angry. “God, it’s unfair. ________ could you do this to me!” he cried loudly. He even didn’t have the courage to live.

Early the next morning, however, he was ________ by the sound of a ship that was coming to the island. It was coming to save him. “How do you know I am here?” asked the lucky man. “We saw your smoke signal.” they replied.

Reading printed books every day can make you a smarter, kinder and more relaxed person. And the positive effects can be felt at any age.

Reading can make you smarter. 【1】 That was the finding of a study published in 2014. Because reading ability is something that’s learned, some experts suggest that more effort should be put in teaching reading skills to young children.

【2】 Great literature (文學作品) forces readers to step outside themselves to understand the characters they’re reading about. According to a study published in 2013, people who love fiction have an easier time sensing and understanding other people’s feelings.

Reading can lower stress. Feel stressed at the end of a long day? 【3】 A 2009 study found that reading for just 30 minutes has similar stress-reducing effects to doing 30 minutes of yoga.

Reading helps you sleep well. 【4】 Research has shown that using smartphones at night makes it harder for people to fall asleep and leads to poor sleep quality, but reading books, on the other hand, can have relaxing effects, making it the ideal bedtime activity.

Reading brings a family closer. Reading doesn’t have to be a solitary (單獨的) activity. When parents read out loud to their children, they can pass on the benefits of reading and encourage meaningful interactions (互動). A recent study found that printed books can make the connections between caretakers and children stronger.

A.Reading makes you a kinder person.

B.Reading helps you get more information about the characters.

C.Reading a nice book is a good way to wind down.

D.People who show strong reading skills early in life grow up to be cleverer.

E.If you’re too busy to read during the day, consider doing it at your bedtime.

Mum: Buy a new one.

Son: Great! 【1】?

Mum: Sure, but there are no mountains around here. 【2】?

Son: Because mountain bikes are stronger and they are better at going up hills. But I...

Mum: 【3】?

Son: I don’t have enough money. Do you know how much they cost? At least $200 each!

【4】?

Mum: You can save $5 a week. Then in just over a year, you can get as much money as you want.

Son: Over a year! But I need one now.

Mum: How much does an ordinary bike cost?

Son: I suppose about $60 each.

Mum: Well, that sounds more reasonable. If you save $5 a week, you’ll have enough in about 3 months.

Son: 【5】. From now on, I’ll save money for my new bike.

Mum: Well. Go ahead with your saving and I’ll make up the rest in 3 months. Now, go and get your old bike repaired.

From 1931 to 1945, millions of soldiers lost their lives in the war against Japanese aggression. After 1949, plenty of people worked day and night for the development of China.

While the love of the country joins the people together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher in Beijing, said, “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age. 他們選擇或者放棄一份工作時，首先考慮的是家人。”

Besides, the characters of being hard-working and creative also come to light. Sheryl, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, said Chinese people were hard-working when she saw some men send the package. She said, “It seems that those men never need to rest.” A foreign university professor also said“讓我感到驚訝的是，實驗室里的中國學生總是能想出新點子。”

The past70 years saw China’s rapid rise to become an important country in the world. During the process, the international community, including Chinese people themselves, has got a clearer understanding of Chinese traits (品質(zhì)).
