One day, when I was swimming, 7.he told me, “ I hope you know there is a shark in the light. And it 8.will/may_come_out (come out) to get you if you swim alone.”I was very afraid, and up until today— I am twenty-five years old now—I still get nervous when I swim alone 9.and/so I always check the light to make sure there's no shark.

Thanks to her strong mind to do everything on her own, she overcame (克服) those difficult 6.times (time). And now she can look after her own family.
As a child, Jiangya often 7.saw (see) others make cross-stitch (十字绣) and then she decided to learn to make it 8.herself (her).

In the year of 2016 there was a new way 1.to_get (get) the red envelope. We call
it “grabbing the red envelope”．
In during the Spring Festival, there is a traditional activity giving the red envelope.People often put the money in the red envelope. The red envelope means luck and 2.wealth (wealthy). Children often get it 3.from the elder. But now，people can get the red envelope by Wechat, Micro-blog, QQ Alipay and so on.
When people were watching the 2016 Spring Festival Evening on TV, we could grab the red envelope by “Shaking it off”on Wechat. Because it swept across 4.quickly (quick) and soon became the hottest topic. It spread pleasure and 5.happiness (happy)．
This Spring Festival，I also 6.knocked (knock) into grabbing the red envelope. Some friends gave the red envelope in the Wechat group. They often put from ￥20 7.to ￥200 in the red envelope. Then we grabbed.Maybe I grabbed only ￥0.5. But I was still 8.proud (pride), because it meant I was 9.a lucky dog.
As you can see, people 10.have_created (create) a new way to send the blessing since then on.In this way, we can build up a good relationship with each other.

In 1826，a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business.But he was not a good artist.So he invented a very simple camera.He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard.That was the first photograph.
The next important year in the history of photography was 1837.That year，Daguerre，another French，took a picture of his studio.He used a new kind of camera and a different process.In his pictures，you could see everything very clearly，even the smallest details.This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype (银版照相)．
Soon，other people began to use Daguerre's process.Travellers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world.People photographed famous buildings，cities and mountains.
In about 1840，the process was improved.Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things.The process was not simple.The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment.But this did not stop the photographers，especially in the United States.After 1840s，daguerreotype artists were popular in
most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well­known American photographer.He took many pictures of famous people.The pictures were unusual because they were very life­like and full of personality.
Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war.His 1，862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities.They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s，new inventions began to change photography.Photographers could buy films ready­made in rolls.So they did not have to make the film themselves.Also，they did not have to process the film immediately.They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later，meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment.And finally，the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera，anyone could be a photographer.People began to use cameras just for fun.They took pictures of their families，friends and favourite places.They called these p ictures “snapshot”．
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s.Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs.These pictures showed true events and people.They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century.Some photographs were not just copies of the real world.They showed ideas and feelings，like other art forms.

Cellphones help us easily find people 1.anywhere (任何地方) at any time. However, using cellphones too often may cause cancer. It's 2.reported(报道) that people who used a cellphone for 10years or more were more likely to get brain cancer.
The 3.suggestions (建议) below may help you reduce the risk of cancer：
◆When using your cellphone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don't put it under your pillow or on a bedside table when you sleep.
◆When you're on the cellphone, use the speaker. In this way, you have just 1% of the contact with radiation you have when you 4.hold (握着) it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.
◆Try to keep your 5.conversation (对话) short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead.
◆Change ears when you're using your cellphone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling 6.picks (拿起) up the phone.
◆Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you're listening or getting 7.messages (信息). Listening more and talking 8.less (少) can lower the risk of cancer.
◆Do not use your cellphone when the signal is 9.weak (微弱) or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or train. At high speeds your phone is trying to get signals, and this 10.increases (增加) the radiation it gives out.

The Silk Road is a strange name for a road that was not a road. It was not made from silk. It was in fact different trading routes (路线) that began in ancient times.
It was thought that the Silk Road began when King David was the ruler of the Israelites (以色列人). It was also near the time when the ancient Japanese began growing rice. So the Silk Road was really old. In ancient times, some people began to explore (探索) the land around them. They found other people living in other areas.
These people were different to their cultures. They ate different foods and had different products. People began to trade products for things they wanted and silk materials were traded especially. They were very expensive. It is thought that this trade gave the Silk Road its name.
Traders usually traveled for a long time. They were away from their homes and families for many days. They did not have cars and telephones. They walked with camels and horses. The traders had to climb mountains and cross deserts. There were wild animals which could attack them. Robbers stole their goods. Sometimes the weather was very awful. Yet, still the traders continued with their business.
This trading system from those ancient times affects the way we all eat in our different countries today. It took many years for the different crops to be traded across the world. Seeds (种子) were taken from one area to another. The people had to learn how to grow new crops. They had to learn how to use the new food to make food they could enjoy. For example, in the West, wheat was used to make bread. When wheat reached China, it was used to make noodles and dumplings. If the traders weren't so brave, our food might be very different to what we know now.
