And her{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(determine) look showed that she had made up her mind.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (Luck),the trip was great fun.It was so amazing{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we found{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we) satisfied with it.

    The Internet is an amazing information resource. Students, teachers, and researchers use it as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}investigative tool. Journalists use it to find information for stories. Doctors use it to learn more about unfamiliar diseases and the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (late) medical development. Ordinary people use it for shopping, banking, bill-paying, and communicating with family and friends. People all over the world use it to connect with individuals from {#blank#}3{#/blank#}countries and cultures. However,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}there are many positive developments{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (associate) with the Internet, there are also certain fears and concerns.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}concern relates to a lack of control over {#blank#}7{#/blank#}appears on the Internet. With television and radio there are editors to check the accuracy or appropriateness of the content of programs, and with television there are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (restrict) on what kinds of programs can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (broadcast) and at what times of the day. With the Internet, parents cannot check a published guide to determine what is suitable {#blank#}10{#/blank#}their children to see.

    For many young people, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) to university is one of the most important {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(stage) of their lives. It is the time when young people will move out of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) home to live with other people, often strangers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(especial) in the US, people often travel very far from home to study. It is a time to be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dependence).

    At university, you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (teach) by lectures and professors who are leading figures in their study. The opportunity to learn from and to discuss with them is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} drives some people to apply to university. Students are required to choose a major that they wish to study. Apart {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the academic benefit, life at university can also allow students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (develop) their interests in many fields.

    Therefore, university is a place {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you attain knowledge, to develop your values and accept those who may be different.

    For 28- year-old Russian Artem Zhdanv, China is a place to fulfill dreams. After graduating from college with a major in Chinese, he left hometown in Siberia{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(he) and moved to Guangzhou, China's southern economic powerhouse.

He{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(build) a Russian-language news website about China in recent years, founded a consulting company and set up{#blank#}3{#/blank#}online store on the e-commerce platform Taobao. The news website now has a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(month) visit of 100,000, and the products he sells online—such as T-shirts, cups and chopsticks with catchy Chinese phrases —have become popular with foreigners{#blank#}5{#/blank#}live in China.

    "My childhood dream{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) to be a diplomat(外交家). Now my website and Taobao store{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(connect) foreigners with China are like bridges," he said. "China is a good place to start a business. As long as you have an idea and the courage, you can{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) build a business here," he said.

    Zhdanov wants to connect Russian businessmen with investors in China. "China has more unicorn (独角兽) companies{#blank#}9{#/blank#}many other countries. And the government has provided great support for high-tech development. I would like to tell more Russians that instead of only looking at Silicon Valley, they can also come to China{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(realize) their dreams".

    I remember reading a statement by a psychiatrist who said that if you ever feel depressed, the best thing to do {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to do something for someone else. Why? Because it gets you focused outward, not{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. It's hard to be depressed{#blank#}3{#/blank#} serving someone else. Ironically, a by-product of helping others is feeling wonderful yourself.

    I remember sitting in an airport one day, waiting for my{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fly). I was excited because I had been upgraded to a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ticket. And in first class, the seats are {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (big), the food is edible, and the flight attendants are actually nice. In fact, I had the best seat on the entire plane. Seat 1A. Before boarding, I noticed a young lady who had several carry-on bags and was holding a crying {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Having just finished{#blank#}8{#/blank#} a book on doing random acts of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (kind), I heard my conscience (良心) {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to me, "You scumbag. Let her have your ticket." I fought these promptings for a while but eventually caved in.
