You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley (推车) full of 1 not just bread and milk. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?

    The tricks usually start 2 you walk into the supermarket. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us 3 and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.

    Now you're inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine 4 all they have are trolleys. And the problem is that it 5 sad and lonely with just one or two products inside a big trolley. So we may fill it with something. 6, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.

    Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think 7 is cheaper than in other shops. Supermarkets offer various prices on different things. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with 8 prices so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! 9, this trick appears to work more with men than women.

    Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you 10? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It's so relaxing that you 11 and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more 12 when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it's better to shop when it's 13 on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with lines at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate (故意) to make you buy something from the checkout shelves when you 14.

    So, next time you go into your local supermarkets, remember these 15 and see if you can come with just the things you went for.

    In the past 2018, there were some amazing achievements in China which not only conquered (征服) the world but also sounded very interesting. Let's have a look at some of them!

    My name is Olivia. I am 8 years old and live in Maine. My parents were separated from each other when I was 6 years old. This caused a lot of changes in my life.

    Before my mom and dad got separated, I lived a normal life. I was surprised when they told me their decision. On my dad's last day at home, I felt very sad. So did my dad.

    After my mom and dad got divorced (离婚), my dad moved to a different town. My mom and I also moved. I missed my dad. These are all things that changed in my life. But there were lots of things that did not change. I still go to the same school. Even though I live in a new neighborhood, I still have the same friends at my school. When changes happened in my family, it took a while to get used to them. It was hard at first to understand what was going on and what would happen next. I felt worried and anxious. Sometimes I missed my dad a lot after he moved and I felt lonely without him. I began to be more afraid of things, like the dark, and sleeping on my own. Talking with social workers was helpful. With their help, I got through the most difficult parts of my parents' divorce. So when you are in trouble in life, don't feel shy or worried about asking questions and you can turn to them for help.

    If big changes happen in your life, you may feel worried and confused about who will take care of you. You may be angry at your parents' decisions. You could feel all kinds of these feelings. But that is normal. Just remember life changes. The most important is that you have to learn to fit in with these changes. Now I have adjusted to the changes that divorce brought to me. What has helped me most is writing down my thoughts along the way. I hope you can benefit from my story.

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's your online shopping! Imagine a world where your shopping was dropped off on your doorstep by a delivery (投递) drone (无人机). Well, many companies are working to make this idea a reality. Among them, Amazon and UPS are just some of the front runners in the race to have the first ever business drone delivery service.

Pros:

●Fast. Delivery drones can cut down the time of delivery to just 30 minutes.

●Environmentally friendly. Companies like UPS have started that the use of drones would cut down on waste gas (气体).

●Cheap. Though exact prices for drone delivery aren't known, companies such as Amazon suggest deliveries could be as cheap as $1.

●Emergencies. Drones can fly straight to areas they're needed without using any roads.

From Dispatch (分派) to Doorstep:

    Usually products available for drone delivery will be stored somewhere nearby. Customers will choose these products through shopping apps or websites. The suggested weight to be carried is no more than 2.3 kilograms. Once the products are put into the drone, it will take off from the dispatch center. It will fly below 120m and avoid any "No Fly Zones" like airports for safety reasons. Before landing, a pad will be placed in the customer's garden for the drone's landing. After the drone puts down its product, it will rise to return to the dispatch center. So a drone delivery could one day be just a touch of an app with your finger.

Cons:

●Weather like strong winds, lightning storms and heavy rainfall may influence deliveries.

●Dispatch centers will have to be built within certain distance.

●Drones might be unable to land safely in high-rise buildings.

●Something will have to be done to make sure about the safety of the products and of people walking below.

The future of flying transportation

    Though the delivery drone service is alive with new technology, we are a long way from seeing them through the air. There are still many difficulties such as flight law making. It's said that by 2021 we might see the beginning of drone delivery systems in action.

    When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground.

    It was a hot afternoon and my best friend Stephanie and I decided to have an adventure in his basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.

    "Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are going to paint. "She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!

    The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.

    My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What on earth were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.

    "Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.

    Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

    As China's        (第一) lady, PengLiyuan is loved by Chinese people. We are        (自豪的) of her very much. She is also famous for her        (音乐的) talent. As a result, she is        (仰慕) by many fans all over the world. She made an English        (演讲) at the UN which was a great success. She said education was very close in her heart. Her father        (成长) up in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So her father opened a night school to teach them how to read. She is following her father's footsteps now to help continue China's success story. Education is about young people. Young people are the        (未来). Education is important because it not only gives young people        (知识) and skills but also helps them become responsible people. She was once asked about her Chinese dream. She said she hoped all children        (尤其是) girls can have good education. This is her Chinese dream. What she said draws much        (关注) all over the world.

    It is        (say) if you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they        (slow) become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in        same way.

    When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice        using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance        (become) strong.

    If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is        (he) own fault.        if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents should be responsible, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

    Have you ever found that some people        can't read or write have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and        (story); so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So far a study has        (show) that if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering.
