China, which takes pride in inventions in ancient times, has once again shown its{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(able) to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. The “new four great inventions” are all related{#blank#}2{#/blank#}China's high-tech innovation(创新){#blank#}3{#/blank#}improved the quality of people's lives. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat{#blank#}4{#/blank#}I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong{#blank#}5{#/blank#}overseas Chinese student from Cambodia{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(add) that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”

    The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. It is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is partly because China skipped over the PC age and went directly to mobile. China has the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(large) mobile use in the world.

    In terms of the “new four great inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said, “These products and services{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) customer experience so far, improving national and global economy at the same time”.

    April Fool's day is a day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people can play jokes on others. No one knows for sure how this holiday began. Some English people hold the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (believe) that it began on the day during the 1200s. At that time, King John of England was in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly. The citizens of one farm village were aware of this. To protect their grass and farms from being destroyed, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of soldiers to inform the villagers to remove the fence. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hearing that, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the soldiers arrived, the villagers ran around and shouted wildly with things {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (throw) away everywhere, behaving as if they {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go) mad. The soldiers reported to the king that they were so mad as to be beyond punishment. The villagers saved their farmland {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (success) by tricking the king. Now April's day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (remain) in fashion, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the tradition only allows tricks from midnight to noon on April 1st. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon act as {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fool) themselves and are usually laughed at.
