According to Zheng Jun, Qinqiang opera is similar {#blank#}1{#/blank#} rock' n 'roll in many ways, and the latter is therefore the modern day Qinqiang. Rock concerts,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} star the common people, take place by the city wall on a daily basis.

    Qinqiang opera {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) the “living fossil” of Chinese opera,the forefather of several   operas inChina.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (Spread) to Henan, it developed into Yu opera. Judging even by today's standards, Qinqiang opera counts as the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(early) Chinese rock music. The spirit of modern rock' n 'roll{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (seem) to come from it.

    The number of Qinqiang opera amateur {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(club) in Xi'an is uncertain. At places like the City Wall Park and the South gate, you can spot groups of people enjoying the opera. Known or unknown to the group, any Qinqiang lover is welcome to sing a piece {#blank#}8{#/blank#}justsit down and listen. The singer presents excellent voice and emotions while the audiences get {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(excite) by the tunes. Standing among {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they), you could feel the cultural pulse of this city.

    A few weeks ago I was at the corner shop, and there stood {#blank#}1{#/blank#} old lady in front of me in line. She seemed very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (confuse) when the cashier asked her to pay $38. She had about $5 in her wallet, and she began to cry. The cashier became very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (patient) and told her that she couldn't buy the items because she didn't have enough money. So I told the cashier not to worry about it, and that I would pay the difference.

    Afterwards, I paid {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my groceries and left the store. When I got outside, the lady {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (stand) there. I asked her what was wrong. She said that she couldn't remember {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she lived, and she began to cry again. Just then, a car pulled and a woman jumped out of the car.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} was this lady's daughter. She told me that her mom had Alzheimer's Disease (老年痴呆症). Then the daughter noticed that her mother had three bags of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (grocery)and wondered how she managed to pay for it. I told her that I had paid for it. The daughter wanted to pay me back,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} I refused. I believe {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) others feel good makes me feel good.

    Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（break）out .

    Every year, over 11, 000 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（kill）or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（care）cause about 200 deaths and over 6,000 fires. More than half of those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 119for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（go）into a room, check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（slow）. If there's a rush of smoke or heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（other）in side.

    Now open the window and shout “Fire!”. See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（long）before dropping. Once outside, stay outside and make sure the fire department is called.

    Environment-friendly ideas have been created to supply people with helpful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tip) on how they can help the environment {#blank#}2{#/blank#} well as save money. I honestly believe that everyone wants to help the environment, even if they do or do not believe in global warming.

    With power bills, water bills and all other expenses{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(continue)to rise, it's very hard for the average worker. No matter what your {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(finance) position is , there is always something everyone can do {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(help) save our environment.

    We are not the only ones that live on this {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(amaze) planet. We also share it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a wide range of strange and wonderful animals. It would be a great tragedy if they {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) not around for our future generations to enjoy. Every little bit helps, so please do all {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you can to protect our environment and the environment of these surprising animals.

    I hope these environment-friendly ideas can help everyone to do {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) bit for the environment and to make this world a better place.
