{#blank#}1{#/blank#} he nor I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}been to the England before.

    My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong on August 15, 2016. He had dreamed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} visiting it since his boyhood and it was the first time that he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) there. The following was what he had seen.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (arrive) there, he was impressed by its beautiful scenery and tall buildings. It is said that Hong Kong has the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (many) skyscrapers (摩天大楼) in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling faces. People in Hong Kong were kind, easy­going and ready to help others. Much to his surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (place). Though crowds of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such {#blank#}6{#/blank#} low voice as not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (disturb) others.

    Chinese and English are the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(office) languages of Hong Kong. English {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(use) in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Staying there for a week was a good experience for him, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he would never forget.

    The last full moon of 2017 is going to appear a little bigger and brighter than most.

    Dec. 3 will bring a supermoon,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (mean) a full moon that happens at perigee—the same time that the moon is closest to the earth.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}this particular occasion, the moon will appear 7 percent larger and 16 percent brighter than usual. Not only will this be the only full supermoon of 2017,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it's also going to kick off a series of three full supermoons in a row. The full moons on Jan. 2 and Jan. 31 will be super {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(one) and even they'll be blue super moons,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}means the second full moon in a single month.

    While some moonwatchers might be getting excited, some people think the hype（炒作）around supermoons isn't all it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (regard) as being. A scientist slammed（抨击）the term last year as something made up {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (complete) and a waste of everyone's time. He acknowledged that supermoons would appear bigger and brighter, but that actually an amateur {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (observe) wouldn't notice the difference. Another scientist {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) a similar {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (argue) back in 2012.

    If the supermoon makes you want to go out and appreciate the sky's beauty, we say “Go for it.”
