One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming, he suddenly felt that the fishing rod (竿) was being pulled down by heavy object. He was so (excite) that he pulled hard at it, and what he saw made him (shout), "Wow! A big shiny, gold chain!" He pulled hard at the gold chain (get) it into the boat, it seemed to be no end to it. His boat started to get overloaded and it (fill) with sea water.

Cut out sugar where you can. I used to have a sweet tooth. If you put cupcakes, ice-cream or cookies in front of me, I'd certainly eat them. But the more I learned about how much sugar is bad for my health, the more I realized I had to cut out sugar of my everyday food. Now instead of juice and soda, I only drink water. And I'm always trying my best to stay away from sugar.
Know when to stay off your phone. This is another thing I'm still trying to be better at. We're used to putting our eyes on those small screens. And we often forget something else that's more important. It's not friendly to let your friends wait while you are busy answering your e-mails.
Cook food yourself. Salad looks healthy. But when it's made with sugar in a restaurant, it can be different. The same goes for any other food. So the best way to truly know what you're eating is to just make it yourself.
Chinese young people use social apps (应用软件) a lot now, such as Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou. Some think it is fun to share short videos about their lives. Some have other purposes.
A 12-year-old user named Elsa has up to 2.7 million followers on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. "I feel really happy to go on sharing happiness with other people by short videos," said Elsa.
A group of users depend on them to get information. To some other users, they have a different purpose. "I am a very impatient person. I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts in a concert or a TV play," said Wang Zhihao.
However, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos. "Many short videos are almost the same, so I think watching them is a waste of time. Also, I really don't like some videos because they show strange even dangerous things," said Wen Nan, another college student.
Recently, something else has happened. Some videos are telling people what products are worth buying. Some users buy the products after watching them, but they should think twice. If they don't think carefully, they may get fake (假的) products and regret soon.
