Thousands of people were attracted to a 2-meter-wide lane in Tongcheng, Anhui province this spring festival. Although {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was impossible to count the exact number, at least 5,000 people visited it each day.

    This narrow lane,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call)Liuchi Lane in Chinese, won greater popularity after the story behind it was broadcast on a CCTV show. At first glance it may seem unimportant, but to those{#blank#}3{#/blank#}know its history, Liuchi Lane means much more than its {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (appear). In the early Qing Dynasty it served{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the boundary between Zhang family and Wu family. They quarreled{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fierce)over which family had the right to build a wall on the dividing line. After {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(fail) to make a compromise, the Zhangs turned to Zhang Ying, a family member of Zhangs and also a top official in the emperor's court. To {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they)surprise, Zhang Ying did not provide the support they needed. He called for his family to step back I meter from the boundary. Seeing that, the Wus {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (agree)to move back another meter, thus Liuchi lane was born.

    In reality, the story of Liuchi Lane is not only about how to get along with others, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}also a guideline for all the officials in China.

    E-commerce（电子商务）has changed the lives of people across the world. With fewer people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(leave) home for shopping, physical stores are having a more {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(difficulty) time. It seems that one kind of physical store is not being hit—the convenience store.

    Convenience store sales in 2016 in China increased by 13 percent {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(compare) with that of 2015, according to China Daily. There are now{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(near) 100,000 convenience stores in China. And in Japan, there are 11,000 more convenience stores in 2017 than in 2010.

    Why are these 24-hour stores with {#blank#}5{#/blank#}average area of 110 square meters enjoying such rapid {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(develop)?

    One reason is that young people have grown into the habit of shopping at convenience stores, noted Convenience Store News. Convenience {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(store) not only have everything for daily use, but also fresh food like sushi, bread and salads,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} are all quite popular among young people.

    What's more, different {#blank#}9{#/blank#} supermarkets, many convenience stores sell things they make themselves, like bread and cakes. As these products can only{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(find) in these stores, many people go there just to buy them.

    On December 24th, 1971, 17-year-old Juliane got on a plane with her mother in Peru to fly to meet her father.

    Over the Amazon jungle, there was a thunderstorm. The rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind. Unexpectedly, lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres and it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (explode). Juliane fell quickly through the air and hit the trees hard. She was unconscious (昏迷的) for{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hour). When she woke up, she found her right arm was cut, her shoulders hurt badly {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she couldn't see in one eye.

    Juliane's was a biologist and when she was small, he taught her how {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (survive) in the jungle. She found a small river and walked slowly along it. “If I follow the river,” she thought, “I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (find) people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink. It was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(extreme) hot, but the river water kept her cool. Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in. There were crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the water, but they didn't attack her! There was fruit on sonic trees, hut she didn't eat it — she knew it was too dangerous.

    Juliane walked for ten days.{#blank#}7{#/blank#}night she stopped to sleep because it was too dark to walk. Ten days after the crash, she found a small shelter by the river, in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there were some woodcutters. They cleaned her cuts carefully and the next day, they carried her down the river, and she{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) back safely to Pucallpa by a plane. She was the only person who survived the plane crash. The other 91 people,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (include) her mother, all died.

    The film director, Werner Herzog, had a ticket to travel on the plane but missed it. Thirty years later, he made a film called “Wings of Hope” about Juliane and her unbelievable story.

    Tim Cook，the CEO of Apple，showed off their newest device，the Apple Watch．Mr．Cook said it was the most personal device Apple{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(create)．

    The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist．It can do many of the same things{#blank#}2{#/blank#}an iPhone．The apps are customized(定制) for the watch．It is different than just seeing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}is on your phone．

    Like a phone，you will be able to receive{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call)on your wrist．Mr.Cook smiled while{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(describe) this. “I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old，”he said. “The day is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(final) here．”

    The watches arrived in stores{#blank#}7{#/blank#}late April．They are sold at different prices，beginning at ＄349．Mr．Cook said the high-end model，the one{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) of 18-karat gold，is thousands of dollars.

    One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body，or nearby{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(get) this watch to function fully．Like a phone，it also needs to be charged each night. It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smart phone{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a smart watch.

    High-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping are China's four new ways of life.
