During the 2019 Spring Festival, I see a movie named "The Wandering Earth". Basing on a story by Liu Cixin, a movie was released on February 5, 2019. It talks about humans' efforts to moving the Earth out of the solar system.
The movie is a hit among moviegoer and a success in box office sales as well as. It impresses people with an amazed story and eye-catching special effects.

He was about 3.(drink) the wine when he saw the others were still busy 4.(draw). He said proudly, “How 5.(slow) you are drawing! I still have enough time to add feet to my snake.” But before he finished, another man finished his snake and took hold of the pot from him, saying, “Whoever 6.(see) a snake with feet before? Yours is not a snake, 7. the wine should be mine!” He drank the wine. The man adding feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his 8. (fool) behavior.

Trophies(奖杯) were once rare things.1.. Trophies and prizes are almost a given. One Maryland summer program gives awards every day and each player gets one. Trophy sales are now a $3 billion-a-year industry in the United States and Canada.
Some research has been done on the effects of praise and awards on kids. Although kids can be highly driven by awards, nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed.2.
Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, found that kids respond positively to praise; they enjoy hearing that they’re talented, smart and so on. 3.. Disappointed by their failure, they say they’d rather cheat than risk failing again.
4., even if they are good at something; they’ve got to get used to that to keep going. When children make mistakes, our job should not be to make up those losses into decorated victories. Instead, our job is to help kids overcome failures, to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss.5.. We also have to stop letting the Trophy Industry run our children’s lives.
A. Let’s fight for a kid’s right to lose
B. Instead, it can cause them to underachieve
C. To do that, we need to refuse all the meaningless prizes
D. Kids are going to lose more often than they win in life
E. But today they began to be mass-produced, marketed and sold in stores
F. They will know improvement, character and hard work are to be valued
G. But after such praise, they break down at the first experience of difficulty
As people age, the body changes in all sorts of predictable ways. Brains can slow. Wounds take longer to recover. And sleep patterns(模式) shift, too. This can come as news to many, says Michael V. Vitiello, a psychologist at the University of Washington who is expert in sleep in aging.
The most noticeable---and often most annoying---changes are how sleep and wake-up times change and sleep gets lighter, often beginning in middle age. Gone are weekend sleep to 11 a.m. and the ability to sleep through a noisy garbage truck down the block.
But not every restless night can be ignored. Studies have found that poor sleep can create a particular threat to older adults---Falls, depression and anxiety, problems with memory, and increased suicide(自杀) risk are among the effects of sleep issues in this population group that researchers have found. But scientists are still unsure why those risk connections exist.
What is clear is the connection between good sleep and psychological well-being in older adults. A 2010 study showed us that connection when it came to sleep quality, but sleep quantity didn't show the same effects. And that, experts say, may be the key to understanding sleep as you age. If you're sleeping less, but don't feel negative effects out of bed, the changes you notice may just be normal age-related.
Over time, Vitiello says, sleep patterns simply change. "A lot of older adults recognize that they don't sleep the same as they did when they were 18, but they can still function and they're OK. And all is well with the universe."
