Life has become difficult for many villages, and some are disappearing. There are a number 【小题1】 reasons for this. Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return. Secondly, people move to the cities to find work, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside. Sometimes villages remain 【小题2】 people from the cities have bought a “second home” in the village,   【小题3】they come and stay at weekends. The price of houses 【小题4】(go) up and people from the area cannot afford 【小题5】( buy) a house there. Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from the farms. So they sell their land and find another job.

Struggling to find a little “me time”? You’re far 【小题1】 alone, because the average American only gets five hours of “me time” in a week.

Besides a lack of “me time,” the average person only gets into their headspace (内心世界)3.5 days a week, so 【小题2】is no surprise that one in four wouldn’t describe 【小题3】(they) as “relaxed.”

Frequent stressors (紧张性刺激)can quickly turn a day 【小题4】 (pleasant).In a survey of 2000 Americans ,three in four people admitted that if they don’t have time 【小题5】(get)in a good headspace with some “me time ,”it negatively affects their feelings .In 【小题6】(add)，almost three out of four wish they spent more time outside in order to relax.

People blamed a variety of things when 【小题7】 (ask) why they couldn’t make it outside as much 【小题8】 they’d like .Weather, work, housework and the Internet are all keeping Americans from enjoying the fresh air. Another thing preventing Americans hanging outside 【小题9】 (be ) the state of their outdoor spaces .Almost three in 10 described their outdoor furniture as “worn down” while one in five would be embarrassed to have guests over with their yard as it 【小题10】 (current)sits.

Always aim【小题1】(high) than you believe you can reach. So often, you’ll discover that when your talents【小题2】(set) free by your imagination, you can achieve any goals.

If people offer their help or【小题3】(wise) as you go through life, accept it 【小题4】(grateful). You can learn much from those【小题5】have gone before you. However,【小题6】your heart tells you that it’s   the right way for you, never be afraid or unwilling【小题7】(step) off the【小题8】(accept) path and head off in your own direction.   Always believe that you will finally【小题9】(success) in whatever you do, and never forget【小题10】value of determination, persistence and discipline. You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.
