Do you know Yao Beina?
Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She had her corneas (眼角膜) donated to two men who needed them, which helped them see the world clearly again.
Yao was born in a music family on Sept. 26, 1981 in Wuhan. Her father, Yao Feng, was the former chairman of the Shenzhen Association of Musicians and now serves as the vice chairman of Guangdong Association of Musicians. Under the influence of her family, she had taken up piano since the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9 years old. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the thirteenth Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.
She became well-known to the public after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version (中文版本) of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen”. In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China II and finally got the second place in Na Ying’s team. She had won a lot of music awards before she was famous.
Yao Beina was unfortunate to be diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer (乳腺癌) and had a successful operation in 2011. Since then, she has fought against the disease for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. She originally thought of donating all of her organs (器官) to save others’ lives, but failed to do it because of her serious illness.
She’s gone, even though she had never stopped struggling with cancer. Heaven just got another beautiful angel, with her beautiful voice and kindness.

Have You Planned Three Things to Do Before You Are 18?
I know most of us have a long way to reach an adult. At present, are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18，because after that it’s too late.
Learn to swim
Seriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well，you won’t be able to do water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.
Try at least one kind of team sports
Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself，but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.
Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps，or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done，like cinema tickets for films you have seen or emails from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.
The most important reason for learning to swim is that ______.

The underlined sentence “a good social life” in the passage means ______.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
People with little education usually ______.

The earliest education was probably to ______.

The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.

It is expected that educated people will be able to ______.

The passage mainly tells us that ______.

Do you often watch TV programs? There are many TV programs on Chinese cuisines (烹饪、美食)，but few are like A Bite of China. It tries to bring something new by introducing more cultural features (特征) related to dishes, such as eating habits and wonderful stories about food.
It’s said that more than 100 million Chinese people are watching the program. Most Chinese people regard this program as more than just the regular food shows. They see it as an amazing documentary providing a special view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food , between people and society.
On the other hand, the documentary also stimulates (刺激) Chinese people’s consumption (消耗). Taobao, one of China’s biggest online shopping sites, reports that the search on food items that were introduced by the documentary has increased to 4 million times in one week, and sales have increased to 5.82 million.
To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing research and interviews in about 60 cities before they started making the documentary last July. Filming lasted about nine months. Liu Wen, the director, says “As CCTV-9 serves as a window, allowing the world to better understand China, the documentary aims to help the world not only enjoy the beauty of Chinese cuisines, but also learn Chinese customs.”
A Bite of China is a ______.

Recently using a mobile phone has become a fashion. Do you often send text messages (短信) to your friends or family? If you keep sending text messages over and over again, there may be something wrong with your fingers. Everybody using the mobile phones should be careful. If you don’t, you may get injured one day.
Text messaging or texting is becoming popular. But scientists have found out that texting can give us problems with fingers. Too much texting can make your fingers uncomfortable. When we press small buttons over and over again, we may have a disease called RSI. RSI is short for Repetitive Strain Injury (重复性力损伤).
Harriet Wilson is a doctor. She has many patients with RSI. She says we should check how much time we are spending in typing text messages. _________ we spend more than 10 to 15 minutes every day, we could have such problems in the future.
Mobile phones are getting smaller and smaller. And the buttons are getting closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons.
