And if you need something, you can find it. If you want something, you can find it. It’s eleven o’clock at night and you feel like having some pizza No p 2 !
Maybe the noise is too much for you. You would rather hear the sounds of water running past or birds s 3 in the trees. Then you are more of a country person. You don’t like to be in a h 4 . You would rather relax and breathe the fresh air. You’d rather walk through the woods.
Every coin (硬币) has two sides. The air in the city is not clean. At night, you cannot see the stars b 5 the lights of the buildings and cars are too bright. You cannot swing your arms when you are walking down the street. You might hit someone by mistake. I 6 you like to have space around you, the city is not the place to be.
The country can be d 7 . Everything is far apart. So, if you need to go anywhere, you might have to drive. And it could take you a long time. So, if you r 8 out of milk, it is not so easy to go to the store. Things that are easy in the city are harder in the country. For example, your yard would be bigger. It would take l 9 to cut the grass or clean up the leaves. Also, it would be harder to clear away the snow.
W 10 you are a city person or a country person, it is important to find a balance. Move at the speed you are comfortable with. Spend time doing activities you enjoy. What is more, be sure to spend time in nature and also with people.

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving l 1 and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who n 2 laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about h 3 . He doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more m 4 and he hates Christmas.
One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just l 5 Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to c 6 his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.·
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and r 7 Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is h 8 , even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody c 9 . He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning—Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives g 10 to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!

By the Song Dynasty, the tool had been in widespread use. Techniques (技巧) for producing the tool were w 7 used in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Many poems or books from the Qing Dynasty r 8 people using hand warmers. Take the Dream of the Red Chamber, the classic novel by Cao Xueqin as an example. It described a maid sending a hand warmer to Lin Daiyu in one chapter.

Some Chinese words are very hot on the Internet these days. They have caught people’s attention overnight recently. The first one is tangping, which m 1 lying down totally. The word s 2 an inactive attitude (态度) towards social competitions, heavy life stress or daily problems. It is said that some young people f 3 the problems like high housing prices and someone once wrote, “I don’t c 4 too much about how high the housing prices are. I have lain down.” In short, being sick and tired of the endless competitions, some young people have become inactive or hopeless w 5 they face challenges in life.
Another hot word which is p 6 among the youth is neijuan, which means rat race (激烈竞争) or challenging social competitions. Many young people have to take part in the social competitions and they have no c 7 but to climb the social ladder even though they may lose everything or get few achievements.

However, these two attitudes are not worth taking. When facing problems in our life, we shouldn’t get away from them. I 9 , we should not only take an active attitude towards the challenges in life, but also remember to keep a balance between work and r 10 . Stop to enjoy the beauty of the world, learn to relax in the busy life and maybe you will find a better self!
