A New Hero is Here to Save the Day
It’s thought that when a hero like Batman is blessed with great power, he or she must endure loneliness and suffering as a result. The Flash(闪电侠), however, makes a fun, lightning-quick and optimistic superhero. After the wild success of TV series Arrow, a TV network launched The Flash, 1.

Like Spiderman, who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls after he 2. (bite) by a spider, Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident. A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state, and when he emerged, he found himself 3. (equip) with super speed.
Naturally, Allen slips on a colorful suit and becomes the Flash, a hero 4. extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys. But the Flash also has other purposes, namely finding out the truth behind his mother’s death and his father’s unjust imprisonment.
In line with superhero series standards, The Flash features action and eye-popping special effects. There’s nothing terribly innovative here, but 5. we do get is a unique superhero with a more unusual personality. 6. Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience, in this show he grows into a superhero 7. powers include optimism. He’s got a group of scientists that not only save his life, but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary 8. (fight) crime.
A big surprise for me was that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character, who uses a gun that 9. turn anything into ice. US shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends, but Prison Break pushed interest in US TV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller’s wonderful acting. Now Miller’s back to act in The Flash. 10. is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite, although this time around he’s an antagonist(反派角色).

Friendships can bring joy or sorrow.1. , we talked to researchers, authors, and therapists to learn how to manage the common relationship difficulties we all face.
Broken promises
Friends are vital for our physical and mental well-being but these relationships aren’t always smooth sailing. 2.. And a major way this happens is through broken promises. Perhaps he canceled plans at the last minute or she declined to take part in an important party. 3., the first thing to do is remember that no one is perfect, says Jan Yager, PhD, friendship coach.
4.
“Sometimes jealousy reveals our deepest desires,” says Dr. Yager. “Healthy envy can motivate you to become better and be inspired by your friend’s success,” she says. She points out that it could be the other way around as well: Your friends might be jealous of you.
Feeling left out
There’s no worse feeling than when you check Facebook Monday morning to find out that your friends went on a weekend getaway without you. Scott Christnelly, a therapist, says, “I encourage clients to express their feelings about it but also not to jump to conclusions.” Then find someone else to talk to — maybe a family member, or a close friend (not one who went on the trip)—to explain how you feel. 5..
A. Experiencing envy
B. But while it may be painful
C. Stopping to feel jealous of them
D. Friend breakups can be just as painful as a romantic split
E. In fact, it’s common to experience some serious hurt from your friends
F. Since there’s no rule book on what to do when things get tense or go south
G. Maybe through that conversation, you can brainstorm how you will respond
