“Long time no see!” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a typical  1 of Clingfish.

Obviously it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with a  2 English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American  3 .

I was  4 thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a  5 on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages  6 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been  7 used in emails, letters, newspapers,  8 , or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language  9 Americans use daily. However, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the  10 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the origin of this Clingfish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1910s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by  11 Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon “Long time no see” became a  12 phrase in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some people  13 America to a huge melting pot(大熔炉). All kinds of culture are mixed in the pot together, and they  14 the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to be  15 in the mixed pot.

“Then you should __44__ !It's obvious that your wallet is a(an) __45__ one, so don't load it too heavily,” said the Goddess Fortune.

For the last couple of weeks , I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me . My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead , I was feeling rather depressed . I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie,but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me : turn to nature!
The very next day , I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve , even though it was pouring with rain . Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be honest . I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing , “I’m singing in the rain.”a song I used to sing when I was a child . I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制)our own spirits , which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly,it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking  in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels. But this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre .
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors , relax completely , remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

B.depression is usually caused by hard work

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
