Once you lose interest in what you're doing, you can take a break from it. Go for a walk, do some exercise,take a shower or even lie down and think about(4) .These activities help a lot.
Focusing on Tasks You're Doing

Have you been on vacation? You look so tanned (晒黑的)!
While many people in the West grow up with the idea that dark skin is a sign of beauty, this is not true in China. That explains(3) umbrellas are just as common on sunny days as they are on rainy days here.
I really love China, but…
Don't finish that to(4) . No place can be perfect. It's fine if you say something impolite about your(5) country, but don't do it about someone else's. This doesn't just happen in China, but it's fair to say the Chinese people show more love to their country.
I think Chinese food is the best food in the world.
What's that? As everyone in China should already know this, saying that you love Chinese food is like saying that sugar is(6) or ice is cold. It's won't hurt anybody, but they may think you know(7) about their food culture. Since there are many different kinds of Chinese food, it sounds better to talk about the local food that you like most.
Keep them in mind and(8) your stay in China!

The little boy held the pears in his hands.I asked him if he could share one (80) me.On hearing this,he quickly took a bite(咬) from one pear,and the (81) .
I was quite surprised.I(82) myself what mistakes I had made in educating my son so that he acted in such a greedy(贪婪) way.I was lost in thought.Perhaps I was just (83) too much.My son was too young to know about sharing and giving.
Suddenly,my son gave me the pear in his right hand and said,"Mom,you have this one.This one is much sweeter."Then I knew why my little son took a bite from (84) pear.
From then on,I always tell myself not to reach a conclusion too(85) .Try to spend some more time in understanding things better.
