Recently, an Internet slang word Foxi- or “Buddhist”- is becoming increasingly popular as it encourages people, especially 【小题1】 young to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflicts as much as possible- in other words, to live like a Buddha.

The phrase   【小题2】 ( create) for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without 【小题3】 (disturb) and care little about passion and success.

In this fast-changing and 【小题4】 (compete) world, many people are   【小题5】 heavy pressure. It’s only natural that people are seeking for a spiritual bay.

However, some would compare “foxi” with “demotivational(无动力的) culture”- a phrase   【小题6】 describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending 【小题7】 (keep) a healthy and wise attitude towards 【小题8】 (fail) simply because they are incapable(无能力的) of succeeding.

All in all, there is one thing that “Buddhist Youngsters” should 【小题9】 (basic) keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset,   【小题10】 you should never stop fighting for yourselves!

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble【小题1】(learn) English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me【小题2】there was a ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine【小题3】apple in pineapple. This【小题4】(get) me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.Even the smallest words can be 【小题5】(confuse). When you see the capitalized “WHO” 【小题6】 a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?”

English【小题7】(invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the【小题8】(create) of the human race. That is why when the【小题9】(star）are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are【小题10】(visible).

More and more 【小题1】 (ambition) parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes. Keen for their children to succeed in life, they see 【小题2】 (be) fluent in a second or third language as an advantage. In the USA, twice as many primary and middle school students took Chinese in 2017 【小题3】 (compare) to 2015. In France, the number of students learning Chinese in the same age group 【小题4】 (increase) by 400% between 2007 and 2017. And an estimated 100 million foreigners are now learning Chinese, up from 30 million in 2004.

It is easy to understand 【小题5】 Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities. For example, there is China’s Belt and Road Initiative, 【小题6】 motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely. It has created thousands of local jobs for people with 【小题7】 knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access 【小题8】 wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, cites this as one appealing aspect of the 【小题9】 (recent) added Chinese course. “Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective and 【小题10】 (broad) their minds to the outside world,” he explains.
