The local elementary school had just let out and I found myself behind a school bus as I was driving home. The bus stopped by a house {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stand) on top of a hill. A little girl no more than seven years old jumped down the bus steps and{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (start) running up the driveway toward the house.

    I looked up the hill to see {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she was going and saw her Dad waiting for her. As she got closer and closer her Dad smiled and bent down to greet her. When she got to him, he folded her in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} powerful arms and gave her a huge hug.

    My eyes watered a bit as I watched this scene and remembered all the times {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my own children had ran into my arms with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (smile) faces. Every single hug from them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a fountain of youth and a treasure of joy .

    My lovely trip down memory lane was interrupted when I heard the car behind me sound its horn (喇叭). I saw {#blank#}8{#/blank#} school bus quickly pulling away. I started to follow it again with a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (light) spirit than I had before. I took that beautiful moment and stored it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (safe) in my soul where I knew it would remain forever.

    The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eight) wonder for the 21st century, opened on the morning of October 24th, 2018. The bridge links three areas, making {#blank#}2{#/blank#} much more convenient to travel from one to another. Since opening, the three-hour drive {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (shorten) to 30 minutes.

    The project involved more than 400 new patents, broke seven world records, and featured {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (independent) developed key techniques and design. After an 8-year struggle, the success of the HZMB achieves {#blank#}6{#/blank#} several generations have been dreaming of, and amazes the whole world with its demonstration of perfect skills and high-level Chinese standards. The bridge is intended to be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rely) for more than 120 years. From the Belt and Road Initiative to "Created in China", there is always a group of people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (provide) strong technical support for each of the country's huge projects. From the beginning in December 2009 to the day of the official opening, all {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (walk) of life made great contributions to the design and construction of HZMB, contributing "{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wise) of China".

    Chinese foods, with a long history, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) known for their special taste and delicacy(精细). Here are several traditional Chinese foods.

    Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part as {#blank#}2{#/blank#} birthday cake with its candles {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(light) in western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lucky) to cut it off.

    In China, a whole fish {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (symbol) richness. At a party, it is a tradition to serve the whole fish. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, which sounds like the word for richness. So {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

    Another popular dish is zongzi, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} is served during the Dragon Boat Festival. This tasty dish {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) of sticky rice with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leaf). The tradition of zongzi is meant to remind us {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a great Chinese poet, Qu Yuan.

    Our world has seen {#blank#}1{#/blank#} increasing number of students pressuring their parents into buying luxuries (奢侈品) just to look good before their peers. Problem is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is to blame, parents, students or society? Now, some schools have taken action.

    To avoid {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (show) off superiority among wealthy students, Woodchurch High School in northwestern England has recently made an {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (announce) to refuse quality designer coats, including Canada Goose, often worth hundreds of dollars. Such coats make poor students feel bad since these items lead to inequality. "They feel left out and inadequate," {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (say) The Independent in its last issue.

    The ban has aroused nationwide debate. Some argue that we shouldn't take away parents' right to buy anything {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (value) they like for their kids. However, most parents applaud, believing it decreases their worries on lower incomes.

    Just as Libby Purves, a UK reporter, put it, how you feel at school largely affects your whole life. Columnist Michelle Singletary wrote on The Washington Post that now comes the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (big) chance so far to teach students {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (understand) clothing in fact measures nothing.

    Not just this. In May St. Wilfrid's Primary School banned students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} using designer pencils in case poor students would feel {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (look) down upon.

China will establish a new special economic zone in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (heavy) polluted province of Hebei to promote integration(一体化)with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} neighboring cities of Beijing and Tianjin, the government has announced.

The Xiongan New Area will be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the same national importance as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} helped kick-start China's economic reforms in 1980, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing a circular released by the Chinese Cabinet.

The new special economic zone {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(locate) around 100 km south-west of Beijing, close to the Hebei provincial capital of Shijiazhuang and will house some of Beijing's relocated "non-capital functions". It is currently only 100 square kilometers in area {#blank#}6{#/blank#} will eventually be expanded to 2, 000 square kilometers.

Beijing, home to 22 million people, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(try) to control population growth and relocate industries and other non-capital functions to Hebei in the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(come) years as part of its efforts to prevent pollution and crowdedness.

The removal of non-capital functions from Beijing is part of a greater strategy to integrate the development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei for a better economic structure, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(clean) environment and improved public {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(serve).
