I've lived in three Asian cities,and they all surprised {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(I) on the upside.In the case of China,here's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}I like it.

    It's modern and continues to develop all the time.They have modern {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(city),and excellent transport facilities, including their unmatched high-speed train network.They have excellent hotels,restaurants,and beautiful parks etc.

    There's a feeling of safety and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(free) in Chinese cities.There's no need to tell you what to do and you can see from the behavior of the diverse crowd.People just do {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they want.In most places no policemen {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(see).Do you know that police in China don't have firearms? They usually do their job silently and behave reasonably, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (add) to the security and order.

    The Chinese people are friendly.You will always get help even if you can't speak a Chinese word besides nihao, or they can't speak English.They'll spend time and go out of their way {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(explain) to you how to get somewhere,or how to buy {#blank#}9{#/blank#}train ticket.They'll {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(patient) and enthusiastically explain how to get what you need.They'll be positive and practical all the time while helping you.

    This is a true story which happened in the States. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

  Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} when are my fingers going to grow back?”

The father went home and committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(foot) or you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(break) bones and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(great) than revenge.

People make mistakes. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (allow) to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever.

    Stephen Hawking, who tried{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (explain) some of the most complicated questions of life while himself working under the shadow of a poor physical condition, has died at the age of 76.

    He died{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (peace) at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday. The UK's Press Association reported his{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (die), citing (引用) a spokesman for the family.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bear) in Oxford, England on 8 January, 1942, the British theoretical physicist{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) for his groundbreaking work with black holes and relativity, and was the author of several popular science books{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (include) A Brief History of Time.

    His{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (child), Lucy, Robert and Tim, said: “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and{#blank#}9{#/blank#}extraordinary man{#blank#}10{#/blank#}work and legacy(遗产)will live on for many years.” They praised his courage and persistence and said his talent and humor inspired people across the world.

    A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so absorbed in his smartphone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (throw) him to the ground. This should serve {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially when crossing roads.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(lucky), the man survived the brush with death, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the incident forced the driver to stop the train. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}18-minute delay followed the incident, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

    Smartphone addiction(入迷、上瘾) has spread like an infectious disease. It's evident that it will do great harm to society. What's even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bad), some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends.

    Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy, yet{#blank#}10{#/blank#}fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

    The word Nushu literally means "women's writing" in Chinese: As the name suggests, Nushu is created and specially used by women.

    Often {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（call） "the world's only surviving characters for women", these slim words were developed from standard written Chinese. In the old days, Nushu {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（teach）by elderly women to girls at home because female children weren't allowed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（attend）formal school. During gatherings in villages, women used the characters to write poems or song lyrics to express their emotions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hidden from men. The words were full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at that time.

    Ji Xianlin once said that Nushu is a feminist（女权主义者）symbol. "It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} unique writing system created by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（talent）women who were deprived（剥夺）of the right to education," he wrote in an article. "It has significance in various {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（field）and represents Chinese people's strong spirit."

    Nushu was made as a national cultural heritage in 2006. However, it is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（wide）used in daily life today. In fact, it is a dying language. Now linguists are taking action to prevent this incredible cultural heritage from {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（disappear）.
