Waiting for a bus can be very{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (annoy). Often you{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) at the bus stop for half an hour, and the bus still hasn't come. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, people in Zhongshan, Guangdong don't have to suffer this. It's all because of a mobile APP, Zhongshan Real-time Buses. With the APP, people can find out the exact time a bus arrives and set an alarm to remind {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to go to the bus stop in time.

    Five Senior 1 students make the APP possible. At first, they just wanted to add or change bus lines to help make it{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (easy) for students at their school to take buses. But later, they wanted to make something that is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（benefit) to all the people of Zhongshan. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (get) technical support, the team turned to the local public transportation group company. They carried out three surveys by collecting questionnaires {#blank#}8{#/blank#} are completed by about 600 people in shopping malls and bus stops. “The work took{#blank#}9{#/blank#} almost all of our spare time for four months,” said Su Yinan, 16.

    On Feb 25, Zhongshan Real-time Buses was born. It now covers over 100 bus lines in the city and has been downloaded more than 60,000 times. The project won the first place on the Fifth National High School Students Leadership Convention this summer.

    “We are very happy that Zhongshan people are using the results of our efforts,”said Chen, “Students can also make a big difference{#blank#}10{#/blank#}society.”

    A teahouse is a special house which primarily serves tea and other light refreshments. Its function varies widely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (depend) on the culture. In China, a teahouse is a place {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people gather to enjoy tea, chat and socialize. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (consider) as a symbol of Chinese tea culture and people's leisure lives.

    Chinese teahouses enjoy a long-standing history. They developed from tea stands in the Western Jin Dynasty, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) shape in the Tang Dynasty, developed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (gradual) in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and became booming in modern times.

    In the Song Dynasty, teahouse existed all over cities and villages, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a rate comparable with that of restaurants. The owners preferred to decorated their teahouses with paitings of celebrities and rare and precious plants {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (attract) customers. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the number of teahouses went beyond that of restaurants, gaining more {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (popular) and becoming more famous. Later, the acculturation of Western culture forces traditional Chinese teahouses to take on {#blank#}9{#/blank#} new look. After reform and opening-up, with the rapid development of the economy and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (evidence) improvement of people's living standards, teahouses flowered in China.

    The Great Wall was grand, a little rainy at first, but grand all the same. The mist covered the far ends of the wall,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(give)it an almost mysterious feeling. The fog rolled in and out of the high mountains, revealing new parts of the wall as {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick)as it covered them. I kept on walking, seeing watchtower after watchtower {#blank#}3{#/blank#}my way. To my {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(relieve), many people had decided today was not the best day {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(climb)the wall, and I was there with very few people. I walked for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}seemed like miles. Then I saw just how long the wall I was standing on stretched for.

    It was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(end)! I walked and walked, but after every hill I climbed, there was another long stretch of wall. I eventually came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} long staircase. Later I found out that it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(call) “Chairman Mao's Challenge”.I accepted, and after climbing the hundred plus stairs to the peak, I had to admit that the Great Wall truly lives up to its reputation. So if I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have)another chance to travel to China, I would never hesitate to visit the Great Wall again.

    The College Entrance Exam, also known as Gaokao, is one of the most influential tests scheduled {#blank#}1{#/blank#} June 6^th to 8^th. For this, Chinese students are separated into Science and Liberal Art at high school, a practice that allows them to stay {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(compete) in the College Entrance Examination by choosing preferred subjects. However, thing began to change when the policy of College Entrance Exam Reform {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(publish).

    And now, an ongoing reform of China's college entrance exam and enrolling system, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} which students used to be selected for their performance on a single test, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(extend) to cover more provinces in China since 2018, according to the Ministry of Education.

    In 2018, the reform was expanded to eight provincial-level {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(region), namely Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Chongqing, where Year-1 high school students {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(start) from fall 2018 needed to prepare for the change.

    It brought the total number of regions implementing the reform {#blank#}8{#/blank#} 14, according to the ministry.

    With the reform, the new selection and enrollment rules may differ slightly from region to region. In northern China's Hebei Province, students will only have to sit the annual national college entrance test for three subjects, Chinese language, math and foreign language {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (include). Their performances during high school academic tests will also serve as measurable indicators. Their results in the comprehensive quality evaluation throughout the high school will be used as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reference.
