Have you ever tasted or perhaps heard of sugar painting(糖画)? Sugar painting, as【1】(it) name suggests, is made from melted sugar. Craftsmen often paint animals and flowers on a stone board with the syrup(糖浆).When【2】 sugar cools down, a piece of sugar art is finished. It 【3】(consider) as both sugar and painting.【4】 one symbol of Chinese culture, sugar painting is getting more and more attention and recognition, and【5】 are the artists.

Li Jianzhong, a 38-year-old craftsman, used to be a miner. After the mine closed down, he turned to house decorating, until he was forced to give that up due to a finger【6】(injure). Later, he discovered sugar painting, something he really had an interest in and a strong desire【7】(learn) .Since there was【8】 sugar painting craftsman in his village, he studied by himself through videos and information on the internet and soon【9】 (master) the skill. Li is committed to【10】 (keep) the art alive and hopes it can be passed down in folk.

Zhou Yang will never forget his first assignment as a 【1】( report) in China Daily. At the office his talk with his new boss 【2】( influence) his life strongly. His boss told him not to go out to cover an event without a 【3】( profession )

photographer. During the interviews,he had to listen to a lot of facts in detail when getting well prepared for the next question based on 【4】 the person said.

If the person 【5】(interview) agreed,he should use a recorder to record what the interviewee said. The boss also gave him 【6】example of the importance of a recorder. Once a footballer was accused 【7】taking money for 【8】 (deliberate) not scoring goals. He admitted that someone had tried to bribe him,but denied 【9】(take) the money. With the recording, it 【10】 (prove) that he was guilty. He was angry and tried to stop it, but failed.

First, consider the cost of human life. About 10 people die of a tobacco-related disease every minute. Most of these preventable deaths happen in low-income and middle-income countries. The World Bank says each of these countries has a total national income of less than $ 12,746.

The World Health Organization says tobacco kills 6 million people yearly -a number that is expected to rise to 8 million by 2030 unless immediate action is taken.

But smoking costs more than the life of a person. It can affect the health of the whole country. The World Health Organization says low-income countries depend heavily on taxes from cigarettes. They use the money, in part, to pay the costs of health care for tobacco-related diseases.

But the illegal trade in tobacco products is further testing the economies of low-income countries. WHO officials say the illegal trade earns about $ 31 billion every year.

Douglas Bettcher is the director of the W HO s Department for the Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases. He calls the illegal trade a monster with many heads. He says the trade enables young people to buy cigarettes at low prices, become addicted to tobacco and suffer from serious health problems. It also increases crime and reduces taxes.

The World Health Organization is strongly suggesting that the U. N. member states sign an agreement to end the illegal trade in tobacco products. Eight countries have agreed to the agreement. But the agreement of 32 other countries is still needed for it to become an international law.

If the agreement succeeds, governments could put people who trade illegal tobacco products in prison-another cost to countries budgets.

Many of us spend our lives in black, brown, navy, white, grey and so on. But by choosing safe shades 【1】 a bright dress, we could be missing out on the health benefits from colour.

Jules Standish, author of How Not to Wear Black, is a style and colour consultant for women afraid of standing out, and she believes 【2】（change）your shopping habits can boost your well-being and self-respect.“Research shows that colours can have 【3】 psychological effect,”she says.“Looking at warm, bright colours, such as red or pink, releases dopamine（多巴胺）--【4】（know）as the‘feel-good hormone’—which can improve our mood and heighten the attention span.”

Here, Jules gives her suggestion on the colours 【5】 can’t be more suited.

“Red and green 【6】 never be seen”couldn’t be more wrong. Unexpectedly, they work greatly well together. Our brains associate colours with temperature, so scarlet（深红色）is at 【7】（hot）end of colour spectrum（色谱）. Scarlet and burgundy（紫红色）are both universally attractive and suit almost every skin tone and hair colour. This combination 【8】（think）unpleasantly bright, but here the green, or bright blue, helps to tone down the purple.

Research also suggests that men prefer women in pink, 【9】 it’s the closest colour to skin. Pale pink is a feminine and youthful colour, but it is more wearable than its brighter counterpart. Add touches of burgundy 【10】（make）it more elegant. Pale pink can be worn well into your 60s, and works for those who don’t feel comfortable in attention-grabbing shades.

What do Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Dijokovic and Andy Murray have in common? Sure, they’re all tennis champions but each has also struggled with serious injury.

Future stars of the sport may soon get help from a technology used in Hollywood—motion capture technology. 【1】 According to scientists from Britain’s Coventry University, it is now being used to help tennis players avoid injury.

The researchers use a new type of motion capture technology sensor and their own software. 【2】 The resulting data can help players avoid injury and, more importantly, it can help improve training.

Players wear a special suit containing 17 sensors. The sensors can capture detailed data and transmit it to a computer. The information is used to create a 3D moving figure of the player. Their bones, joints and muscles, as well as the movement of the ball and racquet can all be seen on the screen.

【3】 It can record far more detail than the naked eye can pick up. The programme can also analyze the data. It gives coaches and doctors a wide range of information about the player. For example, the speed of the racquet, the weight placed on muscles and joints, and the movement the player goes through as they hit a ball.

With this information, coaches get a far greater understanding of what goes on inside the player’s body. They can know how the game affects the players’s body and how their movement impacts on their game. 【4】 They can also record how the changes affect their game, as well as show them how to avoid injury.

The motion capture technology also enables the coaches to quantitatively compare the movement of different players, so that players can learn from others. Players can also store a record of their action in the event of（倘若发生）injury or a decline in performance.

The team has already started using the equipment with coaches at Edgbaston Priory Tennis Club in Birmingham.

A. Thirteen-year-old player Joe Hart didn’t notice them while playing.

B. Thus, they can encourage the player to make adjustments in specific areas.

C. This technology has been commonly used in Hollywood movies to add special effects to moving characters.

D. That technology might particularly have benefited Andy Murray.

E. The unique combination gives all round 3D detail for the first time about how players play tennis.

F. The process is all done through BoB, a computer program developed by the university.
