Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated because no customers came to his restaurant.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (Curious) drove him to follow a customer into a newly-opened restaurant. He found that Yonghui opened a restaurant where only {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(slim) foods were served to help people lose weight. After having a look at the menu, he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(amaze) at the choices of food and the prices{#blank#}4{#/blank#} cost more than a good meal in his restaurant. He thought he could not have Yonghui{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(get) away with telling people lies! After a lot of research he realized that Yong hui's food could not give people enough energy to keep them fit. He felt more{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hope) as he drove back home. He wrote his sign in order to win his customers{#blank#}7{#/blank#} A week later, Wang Peng's smile left his face when Yonghui said he{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (spy) on her menu. Then later they found {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of their restaurants offers a balanced diet and decided to combine their ideas and provide a new menu with food which can cut down the fat and increase the fiber. Their balanced diets became such{#blank#}10{#/blank#} success that before long their business cooperation turned into a personal one. Finally, they got married and lived a happy life.

    Michael loves scuba-diving (斯库巴潜水). By 9, he was an extraordinary swimmer and a good listener in the pool.

    Michael's first dive,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was truly unforgettable. Instead of using a boat, the plan was to go down a ladder at the boat and drop into about 15 feet of water. Everything went perfectly. His instructor Polly led him to the nearby reef. While {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (explore) the reef in 27 feet of water, Michael suddenly signaled a problem with his mask. Polly signaled back for him to clear it. He cleared it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}then later signaled the problem again. His mask was completely flooded {#blank#}4{#/blank#}water. Michael made a sign {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he wanted to go up. Polly signaled, “NO! Stay with me!”

    According to Polly, even though scuba {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(train) teaches new divers how to deal with flooded masks, many beginners panic the first time water fills their masks during an actual dive. Michael wasn't like many beginners, though. He didn't panic. He did {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (exact) what he learned to do during his years. He stayed calm,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think) it through, and followed Polly's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (instruct). Polly gradually led Michael to shallower water in an area. The group swam together back to the shore for a celebration of Michael's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(amaze) accomplishment.

    Hutong is a kind of ancient typical city 5lrccl in Beijing.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (surround) the Forbidden City, many were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (dynasty). In order to establish the strongest power for emperors, the royal family planned the city and arranged the residential areas (住宅区). The Forbidden City- {#blank#}3{#/blank#} center of the Beijing city, was the royal palace.

    At the end of the Qing dynasty, after {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (close) China came under the influence from abroad, many old hutongs lost{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) former neat (灵巧的) arrangement.

    After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the conditions of hutong {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (improve). But in recent years, the houses in many hutongs have been pulled {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and then replaced by modem buildings. And the hutong today is fading into the shade for both tourists{#blank#}8{#/blank#} local people.

    However, in the urban district of Beijing, hutongs still occupy one {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (three) of the total area, providing housing for half population, so many hutongs {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (survive) these years. In this respect, we see Beijing as an ancient yet modem city.

    An earthquake is a shaking of the ground{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cause) by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earth's rocky outer shell. Earthquakes are among the most{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(power) events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. Rock movements during an earthquake can make rivers{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(change) their course. Earthquakes can cause great damage and loss of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(live). Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series{#blank#}5{#/blank#}huge and destructive waves called tsunamis{#blank#}6{#/blank#}flood coasts for many miles. Earthquakes almost never kill people{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(direct). Instead, many deaths and injuries in earthquakes result from {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fall) objects and the collapse（倒塌）of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Fire caused from broken gas or power lines is another major danger during{#blank#}9{#/blank#}quake. Spills（溢出）of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(harm) chemicals are also a concern during an earthquake.

    I was staying in Destin for a few days with my family. One morning, I got up early{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(go) for a walk on the beach. As I was walking, I noticed at least a hundred or more empty beer cans which{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(leave) in one concentrated area in front of a hotel. I was{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fascinate) by the beach, woods and nature so I wanted to keep{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) clean. Naturally, I picked up a few to take to a nearby rubbish can. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}my way back to the hotel. I saw {#blank#}6{#/blank#}man walking down the beach with a rubbish bag picking up the cans. I helped him get the rest and walked back to my place, but I couldn't help {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (think) about that man and how we need more people like that in the world. It really gave me some {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(inspire).

    In the following days when I stayed in Destin, I always went for a walk with a rubbish bag. The rubbish bag was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(total) full by the time I got back to my hotel. I did not want to get any thanks but I hoped {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I did could inspire someone to do the same as well.

    It's so close, and yet it always seemed so far away. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(get) to the rural district just a few hundred {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(meter) away on the other side of the bay, native people used to have to jump on a boat or drive about 160 kilometers－part of that journey on {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(dust) road.

    Now anyone wanting to get from downtown Maputo, capital of Mozambique, to Katembe, or vice versa, can do so easily, and in a matter of minutes, thanks to the longest twin­tower suspension bridge in Africa, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hangs over Maputo Bay.

    "Mozambique had long planned to build a bridge linking the north and south of the bay, but nothing came of them because {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a lack of money and technology,"  said Wang Lijun, vice­president of China Road and Bridge Corporation (公司), which built {#blank#}6{#/blank#} bridge.

    The Maputo­Katembe Bridge, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(open) in November after four years of construction, is part of the Maputo Bridge and Link Roads project which {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(build) by CRBC. It {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) 187 kilometers long and serves as an important highway that directly links Maputo to the border with South Africa, to the south.

    "By night, when the lights are on, it's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(especial) impressive," Wang said, and as a landmark it could help develop tourism and attract overseas investment for Mozambique.
