One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some of them looked very anxious and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (catch) my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he refused {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, “{#blank#}8{#/blank#} anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted, “Oh, dear! It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I)”. She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully, Five others on the bus began talking about what the boy had done and the crowd of strangers {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (sudden) became friendly to one another.

    Long ago there was a poor farmer called Fred. Fred and his wife Doris lived {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(happy) together in their small old house. One winter night, the Luck Fairy visited {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    “Fred, you're a good farmer. I'd like to give you a wish,” said the Luck Fairy.

    “A wish?” said Fred.

    Fred and Doris smiled {#blank#}3{#/blank#}each other. Then Fred said, “Thank you, Luck Fairy. We're very healthy and happy.”

    “You work very hard {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you make very little money. Would you like some gold coins?” asked the Luck Fairy.

    “We're poor, but we have enough food {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat).” replied Fred.

    “You can use the gold coin to buy {#blank#}6{#/blank#}clothes. The winter here is very cold,” said Luck Fairy.

    “{#blank#}7{#/blank#} we haven't got many clothes, we've got enough.” said Doris.

    “Well, what about {#blank#}8{#/blank#}nice new house?” asked Luck Fairy.

    “Thank you, but I love my small old house very much. I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(live) here since I was born. We don't need a new house,” said Fred.

    “You're quite different {#blank#}10{#/blank#}others. I like you very much,” said the Luck Fairy. “I wish you happy forever.” Then the Luck Fairy disappeared and never came back.

    For the majority of fans, the NBA means a series of exciting games{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(broadcast) on TV, but for some students in China, the world's top basketball league means something closer to real life.

    On June 6, NBA China and the Chinese Ministry of Education said that their partnership{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) further to improve fitness and basketball development in elementary, middle and high school across China.

    According to China Daily,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (begin) in September, the pilot program(试点计划) in 500 schools in 10 provinces will give students basketball training{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a basketball curriculum created by the Ministry of Education and the NBA.

    NBA China will also host five coaching classes in August{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(train) PE teachers from 500 schools using the newly-designed basketball curriculum. The teachers will then share their knowledge with students through{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(week) basketball classes in the new semester.

    In{#blank#}7{#/blank#}NBA China and the Ministry of Education will start a guiding committee made{#blank#}8{#/blank#}of basketball experts from China and the US to advise schools on basketball programs.

    The two parties will work{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(close) to run school basketball leagues and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(compete) between classes. They will also share training videos and other programs online to develop basketball skills in elementary, middle and high schools.

    Chinese are the first people to have tea. One thousand and two hundred years ago, Lu Yu wrote a book called “The Classic of Tea”, which is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#}“The Bible of Tea”．The book gives a detailed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.

    However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it). Take green tea for instance, the ideal temperature of the water should be around ℃. If the water is too hot, nutrients (营养) in the tea will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (destroy)．On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leaf) won't open and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor. So Chinese people are used {#blank#}6{#/blank#} drinking hot tea. When you visit a Chinese friend, your friend will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (constant) add hot water to your empty cup of tea. It is polite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands. Of course, the guests should pay respect as well, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take)the cup with both hands.

    Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} saying: Wine full, full cup. Tea half, half cup. For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness. For tea, the half cup means modesty.

    China's research icebreaker Xuelong, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}126 crew members aboard on the 35th Antarctic research mission, on Thursday local time left the Zhongshan Station on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (it) way back to China.

    Snow Eagle 601, China's first fixed-wing aircraft for polar flight, on Thursday night also departed from the Antarctic after {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(complete)all assignments.

    Xuelong, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} arrived near Zhongshan on Feb 9, supplied the station with fuel oil, and then picked up summer expedition team members at the Kunlun, Taishan and Zhongshan stations, as well as {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(member)of the fixed-wing aircraft project.

    Sixteen members of the Kunlun team {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(previous) completed all scientific expeditions at Dome Argus (Dome A), the South Pole's highest icecap. They, together with 21 members of the Taishan team, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(return) to Zhongshan on Feb 8.
