Li Qiang couldn't believe that he had travelled to the year AD 3008 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a time capsule. Transported by Wang Ping's parents' company {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) "Future Tours", he started his first time trip. On his {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (arrive), the totally new surroundings were difficult for him {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tolerate). His head ached for lack of fresh air {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he also suffered from "time lag". {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (Lucky), his guide, Wang Ping, who was very understanding, gave him much help in time. He gave Li Qiang some green tablets and a mask, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} helped Li overcome the problems.

    After a short time of feeling unsettled and nervous, Li Qiang was back on {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he) feet again. Then he followed Wang Ping to collect a hovering carriage that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (drive) by computer. Soon he could fly as swiftly as Wang Ping. How amazing it was to fly above the ground! Then they arrived at a strange-looking house belonging to Wang Ping's parents. Li Qiang was treated to a delicious dinner and had a wonderful bath there. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (exhaust), Li Qiang slid into bed and fell fast asleep.

    For years China's Hainan Province has been developing its tourism industry, with the key decision {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(make) by central authorities that aims to turn the island into{#blank#}2{#/blank#}international tourist destination. Thirty years after Hainan Island became a province and a special economic zone, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for an {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (accelerate) of its development into a center for international tourism and consumption.

    Hainan's tourism industry has grown {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (rapid), but it's suffered from “growing pains”. During the Spring Festival of 2018, thousands of holidaymakers returning home {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (trap) in a massive traffic jam on the island. President Xi announced a series of favorable policies {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cover) tourism, aiming to make Hainan an international resort. The efforts include carrying {#blank#}7{#/blank#} major infrastructure (基础设施) projects like international routes and airlines. The province is also seeking creative ways  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (attract) tourists by offering them diverse experience. For instance, luxury hotel resorts are introducing cultural and educational programs to accommodation, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} somewhat reflects Hainan's ambition to turn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (it) into the Dubai of China.

A Bite of China

    No trip would be complete without experiencing the local food culture. Actually, China has various kinds of delicious food,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (include) a wide variety of local snacks (小吃).

    Without a doubt, for the majority of the foreigners I contacted, and myself included, Peking Duck, Dim Sum, Mongolian Hot Pot were the favorite Chinese{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(dish). China is a place{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the food is not only delicious, but the{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(cheap) I've ever found.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}my last night in Beijing before returning to the States, I went to a Peking Duck restaurant that had been suggested for me to try. What a beautiful place! Splendid woodblock prints on the walls, fresh flowers in the vases on the table,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attract) silverware (镀银餐具) and beautiful chopsticks. I was handed{#blank#}7{#/blank#}menu and found most of the prices{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) especially low for the high quality of the food. The duck came in whole or half, along with all the little decorations that you know if you've ever eaten Peking duck—a little tortilla (玉米饼) to put the sliced duck and vegetables in chopped onion, sauce.

    Anyway, I ended up ordering a whole duck and thought I'd just take the rest back to my hotel{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(eat) later if I couldn't finish it. Unbelievably, in the end there was none of the whole duck{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(leave) on the plate. Umm, yummy!

    The Hong Kong –Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (long) cross-sea bridge, enters the history of human engineering and connection as a point of pride upon {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (it) opening to traffic at 9 a. m. on Oct. 24, 2018.

    One day after the opening was announced at a ceremony {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hold) in Zhuhai, the bridge's ports in three different administrative regions started serving travelers around the clock, opening 24 hours a day, seven days a week. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ensure) faster boundary crossings for passengers, the Macao and Zhuhai ports jointly use a one-off immigration model, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} allows travelers to queue up only once to finish both exit and entry procedures of the two cities in about thirty {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (second).

    Apart {#blank#}7{#/blank#} private cars, taxis and goods vehicles, two types of public transportation—shuttle bus and cross-boundary coach—can also run on the HZMB. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} frequency of shuttle buses is about 5-10 minutes during peak hours. Booking tickets for the shuttle bus online in advance {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) available since 9 am on Tuesday. With the bridge now in service, the travelling time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong International Airport will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (shorten) from 4 hours to 45 minutes.

    Everyone likes to have friends {#blank#}1{#/blank#} are trustworthy. When what we say matches what we do, we earn trust and friendship. On {#blank#}2{#/blank#} contrary, once we break our word, nobody will ever trust us again. For example, if you are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} untrustworthy worker, you are less likely {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) a promotion. Therefore, the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important) of keeping one's word cannot be stressed too much.

    I once had the unpleasant experience of someone breaking his promise to me. Last month, everyone in my class had to gather at school {#blank#}6{#/blank#} 6:30 am for our {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(graduate) trip. My friend Ben asked me to meet him at McDonald's at six, but he never showed up. I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (depress) that when I called him, he told me he was already at school. I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (rush) straight there, but all my classmates still blamed me for delaying the trip. After that, I ended my{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (friend) with Ben because I don't need friends who can't keep their word.
