My name is Mahnaz Bibi and I'm from a village of Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir. We {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) to live a happy and comfortable life. I had my husband Mukhtar Ali and a son Mushahid Ali. Mushahid was the whole world for me.

    On October 8, I was working when {#blank#}2{#/blank#} earth started shaking. I had never felt this kind of earthquake before, which made me quite {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(frighten). When I came to my senses, I ran back to my house to save my son,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}was sleeping in the room. There was nothing{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the debris(残骸) of my house. I started crying{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(loud) and asked the neighbors to help search{#blank#}7{#/blank#}my son. Some{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(village) came to this rescue, but after hours of hard work, I lost my whole world.

    A few days{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (late), we left our village, because there was nothing that{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(leave) for us. We traveled a long distance to reach Muzaffarabad in the end.

    As a stranger in Atlantic City, I often used to go walking outside. One afternoon, I found a little boy{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stand) alone, and he looked very lost. I tried to get his trust, so I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(buy) him an ice-cream cone and decided to call the police to take him home. I told{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to stay there when I went to the phone booth(电话亭), {#blank#}4{#/blank#} after I returned, he was missing. A few minutes later, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} patrol car arrived. The policeman asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the child was. I felt stupid; {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was embarrassing (难堪的) to say that I had lost a lost child. I told the policeman {#blank#}8{#/blank#} had happened and gave him a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(describe) of the boy. "What did you treat him with?" he asked. "An ice-cream cone. Why?" "That kid lives only a few blocks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} here, and you're about the fifth stranger he's conned (欺骗) for a treat!"

    After Donald Trump became the 45th American president, a new video of his granddaughter Arabella {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) popular once again on the Internet. In this video, the little girl wore a qipao, a kind of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (tradition) Chinese dress. She stood in front of a table to recite ancient Chinese poems. These poems are familiar {#blank#}3{#/blank#} most Chinese people and they are often recited by Chinese kids. Arabella made the video to remember Chinese Monkey Year, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ended on January 27th, 2017.

    Arabella's family are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (interest) in Chinese culture. They can even make Chinese dumplings and sing Chinese songs. Arabella began to study Chinese {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she was 18 months old. Now she can speak Chinese {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fluent). Early in February, 2016, 4-year-old Arabella recited a Tang Dynasty poem in Chinese. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she) mother sent her video online and won lots of “likes” from all over the world.

    On Sonia Weibo, many users thought Arabella was a wonderful and surprising girl. “I'm glad {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (see) the little angel loves Chinese culture,” wrote a user called “orange”.

    “At least the video shows that Trump is serious about {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (educate) and never closes the door to foreign culture,” said another user named “stAU79”.

    Yesterday was a crazy day. I felt very tired {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I had a lot of work stuff going. Then I got {#blank#}2{#/blank#} message from one of my teammates. It said, “ We want to let you know that there are people who see and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(true)appreciate all your hard work.” This meant more to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(I)than anything else . And it made me think that maybe I need to set time aside{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tell)the people in my life how much I appreciate what they did. Say “Thank you” {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the delivery guy, telling him that you appreciate how hard he {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work); tell your daughter that you are proud of her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (perform)at school; tell your mom that you notice how much she does for the family.

    Sometimes when a long time goes by without{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(recognize)for the good we do, we start to get upset, but a simple statement of appreciation could make us become{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(energy)again for a good long time.
