I like taking photos very much. Once I travelled by ship {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a cloudy morning. It was in the afternoon{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the weather turned fine. Therefore, I wanted to take some {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(photo). I was looking around and I saw next to me a lovely little girl sitting on her father's shoulders.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}was lucky for me {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(meet) such a perfect moment—the girl was smiling and the surrounding view was beautiful. Without {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（think）, I took a picture of{#blank#}7{#/blank#}little girl at that moment.

    Her mother was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(surprise) that a stranger was photographing her daughter. I explained that I was moved by that sight and showed them the photo on my digital(数字的) camera. They loved it very much. I said I could email it to them when I got home.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (Final), they gave me their email address. The next day, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(send) them their daughter's photo as I had promised.

    China has entered a new innovative era，thanks to the large amounts of capital China has invested in{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (encourage)innovation，said Bernhard Schwartlander，WHO Representative in China．

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is increasingly clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas．This is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (especial)true in mobile，where China is leading in many ways such as…social messaging app WeChat，she said．This is partly because China skipped over the PC era and went directly to mobile．China has the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (large)mobile use in the world．

    The Chinese language is one of the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（old）written languages in the world. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（speak）by the Han majority and many other ethnic groups in China. Nearly 1.3 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language.

    The{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（vary）of Chinese are usually described by native speakers as dialects of a single Chinese language，but linguists（语言学家）note that they are as diverse as a language family. There are between 7 and 13 main regional groups of Chinese, of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the most spoken by far is Mandarin（普通话），{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（follow）by Wu, Min, Yue, etc. Standard Chinese is a standardized form of spoken Chinese based on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin. It is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}official language of China, and also one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}many Chinese dialects exist，the written language is still a very common form of communication. If we go to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（differ）provinces, we may not be able {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（communicate）with the local people orally. However, we can understand each other in writing. The written language can be further divided{#blank#}10{#/blank#}different forms, like simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. There is also a form called "pinyin", which is the Chinese language with a Roman spelling.

    She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course. But unlike her school friends, 16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term rest. Instead, she is earning £6500 a day as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}model in New York.

    Sarah {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(tell) that she could be Britain's new supermodel{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (earn) a million dollars in the next year. Her father Peter, 44, wants her to give up school to model full-time. But Sarah, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}has taken part in shows along with top models, wants to prove that she has brains as well as beauty. She is determined to carry on with her{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate).

    She has turned down several {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (invite) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree {#blank#}7{#/blank#}engineering or architecture.

    Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}at the moment, school comes first. I don't want to get too {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (absorb) in modeling. It is certainly fun that the lifestyle is a little{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (real). I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model any more."
