China's industrial output is expected to rise by around 6.5 percent this year, marking the best{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (perform) since 2010{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the Made in China 2025 strategy (策略) helps to raise productivity and revenue(税收).

    The increase is 0.5 percentage points {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(high) than the targeted growth, partly {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(drive) by strong efforts to increase the use of new technology at traditional enterprises(企业), Miao Wei said on Monday.

    “The country's industrial economy has maintained steady and sound growth thanks {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the Made in China 2025 strategy. It promoted the combination of manufacturing and new technologies such as{#blank#}6{#/blank#}Internet, big data and cloud computing,” Mina added.

    The ministry also predicted that the country's industrial output would be likely{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (grow) by around 6 percent next year, with revenue from the telecommunications, Internet, and software and information technology service{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (increase) by 50 percent, 30 percent and 13 percent, respectively.

    According to Miao, the country will also publish policies{#blank#}9{#/blank#} promoting the development of digital economy. Official data show that the country's digital economy added up to 22.58 trillion yuan last year, ranking second{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (global) and accounting for around 30 percent of national GDP.

    Parents' Day is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} American event for the parents and families. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (surprising), this event was not even there two decades ago.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} was only in 1994 that this event got officially accepted in the USA.

    It is very hard {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (say) when the idea of Parents' Day actually came into picture. But it can be certainly said that this event is born to honor and appreciate parents {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are responsible for the upbringing of the new generation. Their hard work {#blank#}6{#/blank#} endurance (耐力) open up a new horizon for the humankind.

    As said earlier, Parents' Day {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(get) its acceptance in 1994. President Bill Clinton passed the law for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(recognize), uplifting, and supporting the role of parents. It was decided that the fourth Sunday of every July would be celebrated as Parents' Day, which is similar {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Mother's Day and Father's Day.

    The tradition {#blank#}10{#/blank#} celebrating Parents' Day is relatively new. But within few years after its acceptance, the event has spread its wings to the whole world. Now the event is widely adopted.

    For thousands of years, fishes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (feed) the people of Peru. It was only when the industrial fishing boats got started in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}1950s that people lost interest in the fish. Modern fishery turned most of its catch into fishmeal(鱼饲料) for feeding other animals. In fact, most of the fish {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (catch) yearly around the world are for use other than eating, and 90% of them are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (perfect) good to eat.

    White is a researcher at the University of British Columbia and he spent years {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (research) into fishery catches around the world. According {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his study, about 27% of ocean fish which were caught became fishmeal or fish oil. Those products were used to feed farmed fish or used in agriculture.

    "There could be a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good) use of these fish," says White. Instead of feeding fish to fish, the fish could feed people, especially those {#blank#}8{#/blank#} need high-quality protein. But the reason why that doesn't happen is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) of economics and regulations(法规). In many places, a fisherman can get more money if he sells his catch for fishmeal than if he sells it to the locals for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} meals. And in Peru, a change in how fishes are handled could both satisfy the need to feed the people and supply the fishmeal industry.

    My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong{#blank#}1{#/blank#} August 15, 2015. He had dreamed about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (visit) it since his boyhood and it was the first time that he{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) there. The following was what he had seen.

    Arriving there, he was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (surprise) by its beautiful scenery and tall {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (building). As we all know, Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go), he saw many smiling faces. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easy-going and ready to help others. Much to his surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a great number of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such {#blank#}8{#/blank#} low voice as not to bother others.

    Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong. English is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Staying there for a week was a good experience for him, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he would never forget.

    Texting while crossing the street will soon{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ban)in Honolulu, Hawaii. From October {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, you could be fined if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major U. S. city that passed a law,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}says, "No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device."

    The law {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(include) all electronic devices with screens: cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers. The law does permit {#blank#}5{#/blank#}exception. Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(officer).

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hope), it will lower the number of people hit and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(kill) by cars in the city. Pedestrian deaths in America have been increasing as the use of cell phones rises. Honolulu has {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(many) pedestrians hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in America. The number of pedestrian deaths in 2017{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rise) to 6,000, 11% higher than in 2016.

    Ahead of this year's London Book Fair in March, media reported a rise in interest in translated works among British readers. For translator Anna Holmwood, this signals the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (arrive) of a new era.

    "This is a big moment for Chinese fiction abroad," says Holmwood, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has translated Chinese literature for almost a decade.

    Her translation work, Legends of the Condor Heroes, a fantasy novel written by Jin Yong, and Liu Cixin's science-fiction book, The Three Body Problem, are shown in a Nielsen report {#blank#}3{#/blank#} examples of two of the most popular Chinese fiction works in Britain in 2018.

    "Languages in growing demand include Chinese and Arabic." according to the Nielsen report. It found that, against the commonly {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) "not more than 3 percent rule" of translated literature's presence in the English-language book markets, the number for 2018 was 5.63 percent in Britain {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the total annual sales was worth $27.1 million.

    Charlotte Collins, translator and co-chair of the British Translators Association, says: "As we can see, this proportion (比率) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (double) in recent years... This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (real) exciting news."

    The Guardian quotes (引用) Fiammetta Rocco, administrator of the Man Booker International Prize, "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (read) fiction is one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) ways of putting ourselves in other people's shoes. The rise in sales of translated fiction {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) how hungry British readers are for terrific writing from other countries."
