What is your favourite cartoon? It may be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(difficulty) for you to decide. But for pianist Lang Lang, Tom and Jerry is the best one.

    When Lang Lang{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) two years old, he saw Tom playing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}piano. This was his first time to enjoy western music and this experience encouraged him{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(learn) to play the piano.His talent at the keyboard has taken him from Shenyang{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the world. Lang became a good piano student at three. Ever since, the boy has been doing bette{#blank#}6{#/blank#} better. In 1997, the 15-year-old boy studied at a famous American music college.

    Lang's performance are full of energy. He is well-known for{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(make) facial expressions and moving around while playing the piano.

    The road to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(succeed) has never been easy. Lang's father stopped his job to look {#blank#}9{#/blank#}him, while his mother stayed in Shenyang to make money. But Lang considers {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (him)lucky and believes he should give something back. He has helped the children in poor areas a lot.

    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.

    I'm Yuan Longping. Look at my sunburnt face and arms and my slim strong body and you will think I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} like a farmer than a scientist. In fact I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(struggle) for the past five decades to help {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(farmer). In 1974, I began to grow a so-called super hybrid rice. This special strain of rice makes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields.

    I was born into a poor farmer's family in 1931. When I was young, I saw many people go hungry often. So I have devoted myself to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(find) ways to increasing rice harvest without expanding the area of fields since I graduated from Southwest Agriculture College in 1953. Now more than 60% of the rice{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(produce) in China each year is from this hybrid strain. I am circulating this knowledge in India, Vietnam and other less developed countries to increase their harvest. Perhaps you think I am rich. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(actual) I live a simple life. I care little for money. In my opinion, a person with too much money will have more troubles. I don't want to be famous {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I prefer to have more time to do my research. In my free time I love listening to music, playing mah-jong and reading. I once had a dream, in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I saw rice plants as tall as sorghum and each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Now I have another dream-to export my rice so that it can {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(grow) all over the world.

    A father was worried about his son{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was sixteen years old but had no courage (勇气) at all. So the father decided to look for a Buddhist monk(僧侣){#blank#}2{#/blank#} (train) his boy.

    The Buddhist monk said to the boy's father, “I insist that your son should be left alone here. I'll make him into a real man within three {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (month). However, you can't come to see him during this period.”

    Three months later, the boy's father {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (return). The Buddhist monk organized a boxing match (拳击赛) between the boy and an {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience) boxer. Each time the fighter hit the boy, he fell down, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}at once the boy stood up; and each time a heavy blow knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “{#blank#}7{#/blank#} do you think of your child?”

    “What a shame!” the boy's father said, “I never thought he would be so {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (easy) knocked down. I needn't have him stay here any {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (long)!

    “I'm sorry that that's all you see. Don't you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have.
