    In China, there are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(variety) means of transport for day-to-day living: subways, buses, cars, and even bikes… but taxis rank high on the list.

    Taxis are certainly the most convenient, as {#blank#}2{#/blank#}requires little effort to raise your arm to call a cab. Besides, fares in China are affordable. They start in daytime hours in the capital at 13 yuan for {#blank#}3{#/blank#}first 3 kilometers, after {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you pay another 2.3 yuan per kilometer. This is far {#blank#}5{#/blank#}expensive than that in European capitals. In London, for example, two kilometers' ride could cost you about 63 yuan.

    Taxicabs , as we know today, first appeared in China in the early 20th century, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) the reserve (特权) of the rich and the powerful. Nowadays, taking a cab is common in China.

    Before coming to China, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(warn) that there were awful drivers who would make long detours (绕行) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (get) higher fares. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, most taxi drivers I have met are nice. They know the city like the back of their hands, and are glad to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}some help.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(keep) a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing abilities.

    Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we keep doing this，{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (gradual)we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English，we will certainly meet many difficulties. First, it often happens that we have difficulty{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(find)proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (two), there are so many idioms(成语)in Chinese{#blank#}6{#/blank#}it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.

    In my opinion，my{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(suggest)is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English  dictionary  within  easy reach. Whenever something{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(beat)us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help，if necessary. In short，I believe that it is of great use to keep{#blank#}10{#/blank#}diary in English for the development of our writing skills.

    This summer I travelled from noisy Beijing to Wuzhen, a beautiful village in Zhejiang Province. Unfolded before me was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}unique image of this water country—the stone bridge and the water flowing, all like fairy tales to me.

    However{#blank#}2{#/blank#} impressed me most was not the natural scenery but the scene of a grandma bathing a little baby in a wooden basin with the door open. My friends couldn't help{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(take) pictures of them. To my surprise, the grandma smiled and waved at us. All of a sudden, my heart was filled with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (warm).

    I shared the photo and my{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (forget) experience with my friends. They were {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(simple) moved as I was, but at the same time they reminded me of the unpleasant experiences in big cities. We feel embarrassed to see people quarreling in public because they{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (step) on accidentally by strangers.

    According to a recent survey{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) in November 2016: 45 percent of the residents don't know the names of their neighbors; 63 percent have never devoted{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) to talking to their neighbors; 67 percent think that the relationship between them and their neighbors is just so-so, or even bad.

    Wouldn't it be beautiful to say hello to our neighbors who just came back {#blank#}10{#/blank#}work give them a smile?

    This is a public service announcement. Audiences are reminded {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(turn) off the phones or put them on silence. When the ball is in play or if a player is serving, please do not cheer{#blank#}2{#/blank#} talk loudly. Wait for the point or game to end {#blank#}3{#/blank#} standing up or leaving your seat. When {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(take) photos during the match, please turn off your flash. Please do not throw anything onto the court.
