One day a rich man took his son on a trip to the country so he could have his son see how poor country people were.

    They stayed one day and one night in the farm-house of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very poor farm. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the way back home at the end of the trip the father asked the son, “{#blank#}3{#/blank#} did you think of the trip?”

    The son  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (reply), “Very nice, Dad.”

    The father then asked, “Did you notice how poor they were?”

    The son said, “Yes, I guess so.”

    The father then added, “What did you learn?”

    To {#blank#}5{#/blank#} question, the son thought for a moment and answered {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (slow), “I learned that we have one dog and they have four. We have a fountain in the garden and they have a small river{#blank#}7{#/blank#} has no end. We have brightly colored {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lantern) in our garden, while they have the stars. Our garden {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (go) to the edge of our yard, but for their back yard they have the whole horizon.”

    At the son's reply, the rich father was speechless (无语的). His son then said, “Thanks, Dad, for{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) me how poor we really are.”

    Today, with most of us{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(own) a smartphone that lets us post to social media wherever and whenever we want, oversharing has become {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hard) to avoid{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the tricky thing is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}people usually don't realize they{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(overshare) when they post information on the Internet. The problem can only{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bring) to light by our friends and family.

    A survey showed that every two{#blank#}7{#/blank#}three people in the US think their friends share too much on social media.

    Oversharing can have{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (apparent) negative impacts. For starters, a leak（泄露）of personal information may put your bank account at risk. Plus, It may also jeopardize（危及）your current or future job if you, for example, trash-talk your{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(employ) on social media or write about how you got {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (drink) during office time.

    Debbie, who lives in Hong Kong, was on holiday in Beijing with her best friend Lily. Lily is a beautiful girl who is studying science at university. She also models{#blank#}1{#/blank#}her spare time. Debbie is studying history and wants to be writer. Lily and Debbie were very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (excite)to be in Beijing because there was so much to see. Lily suggested {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(visit)the Great Wall first, so they went on a tour to see it the first day. Their tour guide was a young man with {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(glass)who was very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (knowledge). He told them many interesting stories. The next day, they took a bus from their hotel and then, using a map, they walked around some old hutongs. Both of the girls thought that it gave them a good idea of  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}life was like in the 13^th century. Debbie was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(especial) excited as she{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(study)hutongs earlier in the year{#blank#}9{#/blank#}was the Forbidden City that was next on{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) agenda and the girls loved every minute of the tour around the beautiful grounds. Because they were leaving the next day, when they finished the tour, they went shopping and splashed out on an expensive meal.

    Nowadays, we can find advertisements almost wherever we go. We are so used to them  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we often do not even realize how many we see and hear in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}day. An advertisement uses words and pictures {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(persuade) people to buy a product or service, or to believe {#blank#}4{#/blank#} an idea. There are two main types of advertisements—commercial advertisements {#blank#}5{#/blank#}public service advertisements (PSAs). A commercial advertisement is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}someone has paid for to advertise a product or service. PSAs are often run for free, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mean) to educate people about health, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (safe), or any other problem that affects public welfare. When {#blank#}9{#/blank#}comes to advertisements, we must all use our {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(intelligent) and not be a slave to them.

    During the past few years, the Palace Museum has been working hard to get the public familiar with the history and culture of the Forbidden City.

    The passage is about a letter written by Li Qiang who is taking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the prize that he won last year. At first he was nervous and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (certain) about the journey. However, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Wang Ping's guidance, Li Qiang was transported into the future safely.

    Hit by a lack {#blank#}4{#/blank#} fresh air, his head ached and he tried to make the necessary {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (adjust) to this new situation. Soon he was back {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his feet again and flew after Wang Ping in a hovering carriages {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (drive) by computer.

    Arriving at Wang Ping's house, Li Qiang was shown into a large room with a green wall {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) of trees, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} leaves provided the room with oxygen. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (exhaust), Li Qiang slid into bed and fell fast asleep.
