Cardboard boxes. Broken glass. Old doors. Painted handrails (栏杆). This is American (1) (art) Redic's home in Shanghai. You might think he is living in a rubbish dump (垃圾场). But Redic calls his house a gallery (画廊).
Up to now, the artist (2) (stay) in Shanghai for 13 years. He likes to walk around the city and collect "rubbish". Later, he will turn these "(3) (use)" items into artworks.
Redic started to create art (4) recycle materials when he was in college. He first came to China to visit the 2010 Shanghai Expo. After staying in the city for several days, however, he decided that he didn't want to leave. He had fallen completely in love with Shanghai.
Now, Redic is always happy to (5) (give) people a tour of his "gallery". He explains the back stories of each piece of work. Take "Doors of Life" for example, Redic collected the doors from different corners of Shanghai. He covered them in his own modern art. While creating these artworks the artist often came (6) with some poetry lines (诗句). And then these poetry lines (7) (paint) on the doors. Redic has always been interested in doors. He says doors deliver important messages like "as one door closes, another opens".
This year, Redic is heading off to Europe with some of his works. The artist wants to share his (8) (experience) in Shanghai with the world. "All these works are like my family members. I will never stop (9) (create) art with recycled materials," he says.
The next time you want to throw something away, give it a second look. (10) Redic once said, "we should always leave the door open".

Have you ever tried to hide your emotions (情绪) from someone during a conversation? It's not always easy, (1) the colour on your face may tell the truth.
Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions (2) to changes in the colour of their faces.
Scientists studied pictures of people's facial expressions. They found that every facial expression is (3) (connect) to a certain colour. For example, (4) (happy) makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust (厌恶) creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red-green color around the nose and forehead. "We believe these color patterns are the result (5) small changes in blood flow triggered (触发) by the central nervous (神经) system." Lead researcher Alex Martinez said.
But this raises a question. Does the colour alone or also facial expressions help people tell other's emotions?
(6) (work) this out, scientists did a test. They added colours to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. Then, volunteers were (7) (ask) to tell what emotions the faces were showing. Guess the result! They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time (8) (with) any difficulty.
Some Chinese (9) (say) also connect emotions to the colour of one's face. For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are (10) in the face. When a person is very angry, we'd say he or she is blue in the face.

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, like winning the Nobel Prize, (1) they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, (2) do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by American writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life's (3) (big) challenge.
You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is (4) (possible) for you to become a writer. "These kinds of thoughts (5) you achieving your dream." the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The (6) (one) thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don't let it leave your heart. Keep (7) (tell) yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come faster because a big dream is, in fact, (8) (make) up of many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from (9) (you). You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will bring you better exam results and saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good and you have the chance (10) (learn) more skills and find new interests.

Many of us seem to have lives that follow a certain path. From birth all the way to when we get married, every stage of our lives seems to be preset (预设). And (1) this works well for a lot of people, according to British motivational philosopher Jay Shetty, there is no "right" schedule (进度表) to live our lives by.
A few months ago, a video of Shetty's speech "Before You Feel Pressure" became popular on the Internet across the world. In the video, he sends an important message that we should think "outside of the path" and have the courage (2) (follow) our hearts.
As Shetty says in the video, we don't have to get (3) (stress) and put ourselves in a race with our peers or judge (评价) our lives based on (4) (other). "Everything in life happens according to our time, our clocks," he says.
In his inspiring speech, Shetty points out that UK author J. K. Rowling had her famous Harry Potter series (5) (publish) at age 32, after being refused by 12 publishers. Shetty also mentions that Chinese businessman Jack Ma didn't even start the Alibaba Group until he was 35 and US (6) (act) Morgan Freeman didn't get his big break until he was 52 years old.
So we shouldn't let anyone (7) (rush) us. As Albert Einstein once said, "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that's counted (8) (true) counts."
The key to (9) (stay) on our own tracks is to be patient and keep our own passions (热情). "It is important to allow people to go back to being aware of their own interests, needs and concerns," Shetty told National Geographic. "We should listen to our inner voices and unlearn what the world (10) (teach) us, and what we've picked up from around us."
