Recently a really strange thing happened in a middle school in China's Hubei Province. Over 600 students at the school took part in a "caring for an egg like a baby"{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(active). in which they were asked to keep an egg close at hand for a month{#blank#}2{#/blank#}breaking it.

    "It's hard for parents to bring up their children{#blank#}3{#/blank#}many students just ignore it, " said Liu Kang, the school's director. "They should{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) to be grateful to their parents,who have given them life but ask for nothing in return ."

    Li Ming is one of the students. His egg didn't break during the month, but he felt{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exhaust). "I now understand what great difficulty my parents have had{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（bring）me up. I'll do all I can to make their life easier and{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(comfort) when I grow up,”promised the 13-year-old boy.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(luck), about 450 students broke their eggs. Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days, which made him frustrated. He said,”I can't imagine {#blank#}9{#/blank#}sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me, their ‘egg'! It is now time I did something{#blank#}10{#/blank#}return for their love,”said Yan.

    A lot of people in our country take a nap after lunch, so do my classmates.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (recent) I have conducted a survey on{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) a nap after lunch among my classmates. Most of them are in the habit of sleeping for{#blank#}3{#/blank#}while at noon as they believe it does good to them. The majority prefer{#blank#}4{#/blank#}do so around 12:30 and the nap usually lasts for about 30 minutes. They often {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (choice) to sleep at home instead of in their classroom {#blank#}6{#/blank#}dormitory.

    Hopefully, the result of my survey can draw the attention of our parents and school. Since most students are in need of a nap, proper{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (arrange) should be made so that students can have a good rest after a whole {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (morning) hard work. Students should not be{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ask) to do extra work during this period of time. After all , having a nap after lunch, one can feel {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(refresh) and energetic enough to study more efficiently in the afternoon.

    Human tower-building, or castell（叠人塔）, is a great team sport. This kind of sport can organize {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hundred) of individuals to work together to climb several meters up to the air. The lower can involve as many as 400 people and reach a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(shock) height. The world record for the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(tall) tower belongs to the team Minyons de Terrassa, which defeated competitors{#blank#}4{#/blank#}half a meter during the event in 2015.

    The unusual tradition dates back to the 18th century and. as CBS News reported, the 26th competition{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(take) place in Catalonia, Spain not long ago.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (win) the event, a team called Colles assembled to build the most complex castells. The {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(construct) process was only half the battle. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the Colles achieved their maximum height, they then had to take apart themselves without toppling over（倒掉）.

    According to Times of Malta,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (rough) 20,000 people gathered to witness {#blank#}10{#/blank#}competition. This year the Castellers de Villafranca team was crowned victorious, marking their eighth win in a row.

    Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For{#blank#}1{#/blank#},it is a useful way to release their{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(press). And all these make it more and more popular with high school students.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy，{#blank#}4{#/blank#}should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor{#blank#}5{#/blank#}this activity. Today the Internet is playing{#blank#}6{#/blank#}important and essential role in our life .Therefore, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(mean) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening and organizing micro blogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we improve ourselves while{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) our micro blogs .

    In fact, micro blog{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it{#blank#}10{#/blank#}matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

    My wife and I like watching plays, so we will go to the theater whenever we have time. But before we buy tickets, we would like to know if the play is good or bad. When a new play comes, we{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) read the newspaper to get information about it. Last week a new play was put on at the theater. The newspaper said it was very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (interest) so we decided to go on Saturday night. My wife took a long time to make her {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (decide) about what to wear and we left our house a little late. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the time we got to the theater, the first act had already{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (begin). After the play was over, we met some friends,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} lived next to us several years ago. Then we went dancing. By the time we got home, it was about two o clock in the morning. I'm not used to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) out so late and I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (extreme) tired.

    When I was younger, I did not have the money to go out for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}evening like this. Though I can afford it now, I don't have the energy{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (enjoy) it.

    According to Chinese speaking practice, lion is a special animal to Chinese people. A pair of stone lions, a male {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a female, are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(common) seen in front of the gates of traditional building.

    The lion {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(regard) as the king in the animal world, so {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(it) images represent power and prestige. The stone lions are also used to indicate the ranks of officials.

    It is interesting to note that China had no lions originally. The earliest stone lions were sculpted {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty from A. D. 25 to 220 with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} introduction of Buddhism(佛教) into ancient China. In the Buddhist faith, the lion, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} can protect the truth and keep off evils, is considered a divine animal of nobleness and dignity. In Chinese folk tales, the lion has become a symbol of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brave), power and good luck.

    It was also popular to decorate bridges with stone sculpted lions for the defending reason. The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(well) known of bridges is the Lugouqiao, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(build )from 1189 to 1192.
