A high school senior student Liu Yu from Chengdu was beaten to the point of a bone fracture for trying to stop queue-jumping.

On Oct. 19, Liu went to a fast food restaurant on the 【1】( two) floor of Wanda Plaza in Qingyang District. When Liu was queuing, a woman with a child jumped in front of him without asking. “Please stay in line. First come, first 【2】( serve) ." Liu said, according to【3】( video). The woman then replied she was in a hurry to pay before her cellphone's power ran out.

"It doesn't matter to me 【4】 your phone is out of power," Liu replied. After Liu said this, a man beside 【5】 woman attacked Liu, and the youth didn't fight back. Staff in the shop tried to stop the man, and the whole incident was recorded by the shop's video camera.

On the night of Oct. 23, the man 【6】 beat Liu was arrested by local police. He and his family confessed, and the case is now 【7】 further investigation.

This piece of news 【8】( start) a heated discussion online so far, with the relevant topic being read 150 million times on Sina Weibo by Wednesday afternoon.

Some netizens say that it is easy to recover 【9】( physical) , but psychological trauma will be harder【10】( heal).

Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money from their efforts. They say that sharing music online has resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 downloaded. To truly understand the influence of music piracy (盗版行为) on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involved.

There are many people who don’t see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.

Although we don’t spread today’s music the same way we did before, there’s no doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers.

However, that doesn't mean that we are going to share every moment with them. It is normal to have some things you don't want them to know or something that you think is better to be kept secret from them.

Here are some netizens' secrets hidden from their parents:

"My parents always told me not to fall in love in high school, otherwise I would fail in my studies. But now I'm dating a guy and I have no idea if I should tell them the truth."

"They are concerned about my studies and also afraid that I am being picked on in a puppy love. Yet I know they love me so much, but I don't want them to worry about me. So keeping this secret might be the best way."

"Last year, I was fired several times. The real world is not easy, and it took a long time for me to find another job that I really loved. During that time, I was penniless for months. However, whenever my parents asked me if everything was ok, I told a lie. I should have been strong enough to make them not worry about me, I endured a frustrating time."

Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.

After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.

“I introduced him to a local welder (焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.

In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said, ‘Make something with this.’ And he did. It was wonderful.”

Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him—keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.

“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said “and then to make very large sculptures.”

【3】How does Phiri feel about his future?

A.Uncertain.B.Confident.

C.Depressed.D.Satisfied.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.A Successful Path of Art.B.The Junk-art King of Zambia.

C.A Young Man’s Wildest Dream.D.The Modern Junk Works of Art.

Dear Ms. Wood,

I was a guest who stayed in your hotel a week ago. First of all, I want to express my sincere thanks for your good service which makes my stay in Australia more enjoyable. Therefore, you can do better in some aspects.

To begin with, I found out only one Chinese dish on the menu, that gave me a big surprise. Is it possible for you to provide Chinese dishes with more variety? In addition, it took me long time to find the emergency exit. Please make the signs well-marking. Finally, the clerk at the front desk could be more patiently. When asking about where to find the nearest swimming pool, she seemed rather annoyed.

I do hope you will take their advice into consideration. Thanks for your time.

Yours,

Li Hua

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.

As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”

The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.

“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

In many countries, 【1】 is not unusual for families of different backgrounds to live together in the shared space. 【2】, in the United States, this idea may still be considered strange.

But this type of housing, 【3】(call) co-housing, is gaining 【4】(popular) in the United States, too. Co-housing complexes are popping up across the country. For many people, this way of life is a relief to the busy modern lifestyle. A co-housing community has 【5】 (private) owned houses and shared land. There is often a “common house” with a kitchen and dining room, meeting room, and maybe a workshop of library or music room. About 25 co-housing communities 【6】(build) in recent years, according to a report.

A co-housing complex is a place 【7】 residents shop, cook, and eat together. They like 【8】(it) sense of shared community. Children have other kids to play 【9】, which many families like. Other residents like the feeling of living in a “ village”. Residents also say that they can live in co-housing for 【10】(little) money than they would pay for nearby apartments.

Some cities are hard on their residents. In places with poor city planning, for example Lagos, which was called out recently by the Economist Intelligence Unit, public spaces are few, making outdoor activities hard. Lack of infrastructure(基础建设) blocks the streets with cars and the air with pollutants, and residents work long hours for little money.

These are just some of the factors added up by Spotahome, a rental agency. They’ve analyzed data from a range of sources, including the World Health Organization and TripAdvisor to score each city on health, life expectancies, obesity, green space and other elements to make a list to work out which are the world’s healthiest cities.

The list is certainly Eurocentric and sunshine is seen as a positive factor. It does go some way toward suggesting which cities are getting it right in providing a good life for their residents. It may not be surprising to learn that most of the healthiest cities are in northern Europe, known for its people-first approach to city planning. The cities of Australia and Canada also do well. However, the first American city is only in 34th place. The U.K. doesn’t fare too well either—its only city in the top 50 list is London, in 40th.

Whether you’re planning a pleasant holiday, or simply wondering what your city can do better in its pursuit for happy citizens, the list of the 50 healthiest cities will give you pause for thought about the future of city planning. Here are the slender, healthy-eating, clean-aired cities that are getting it right.
