Shanghai has been my home, sweet home for ten years now. I never thought that when I came here in 2004 from Toronto that I would stay this long, but I fell in love with the city as soon as my plane landed at Pudong International Airport.
Shanghai is one of the greatest cities of the world. It is alive and exciting. Here, everything is new and everything seems possible. When I arrived there were only three Metro lines (地铁线). Today there are sixteen. Ten years ago, many people still lived in poor neighbourhoods with houses that did not have bathrooms or even hot water. Today, most people live much better.
I enjoy walking down the cool, tree-lined streets of the French Concession (法租界) during the summer and seeing the old, Western-style houses. Many street vendors (小贩) have gone, but you can still buy some delicious street food in places. Near Shanghai Indoor Stadium (体育馆), in winter, there is always someone selling hot sweet potatoes baked in a barrel (桶). It's a great snack on a cold day.
But what I like most about Shanghai is the people. People in Shanghai are friendly and talkative. They're also not afraid to try something new which is why fashion is so popular here. From unusual hairstyles to colourful clothes, people in Shanghai like to dress up and stand out in the crowd.
With its mixture of old and new, with its brightness and charm, I am proud to call Shanghai my home, sweet home.

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for work. We look at our w1.to know when to catch a bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can't look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our b2. our biological clock.
Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (生物钟学), the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the i3.of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the s4.time every night and to eat only when they're hungry. Also, doctors have discovered that some i5., such as heart attacks, occur most often in the morning. This information tells them that the b6.time to take heart medicine may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart a7.in the morning.
