A television series is fast gaining its word-of-mouth {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (popular) among not only Chinese households but also some foreigners. The drama, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) In the Name of the People, offers viewers, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (particular) foreigners, an opportunity to better understand China's politics and culture and also the nations' iron-fist resolve in the fight {#blank#}4{#/blank#} corruption(腐败) among the country's officials. The drama is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} effort rarely seen in recent memory that carries the anti-corruption topic onto mainstream television. Before that, the discussion of this topic was widespread {#blank#}6{#/blank#} mostly remains private in Chinese society.

    “I was quite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (impress) by the jaw-dropping scene {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the cash hidden on a giant wall was found in a low-level official's house. It is a bribe(行贿)he's accepted which is worth 230 million yuan (about 33 million U. S. dollars)”, said Eric Ivarsen from Norway, a master's student {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (major) in the public management and social development at the University of Chinese Academy of Science.

    “My subject has a very high requirement of knowledge about Chinese politics and culture. After watching the drama, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (well) understand China's political terms, for example, seats order according to official rankings, languages being used in a meeting, which is quite different from my country,” lvarsen added.

Reporter：You also voiced Batman in the upcoming The LEGO Movie. Was that a childhood dream realized ?

Will ：  Yes. Batman is such a typical character. So the opportunity to do that was just a dream come {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Reporter：You have two young sons. How are you at LEGO building?

Will ： I'm pretty good{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I have a lot of practice.

Reporter：You also {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (film) a role in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. How was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} experience of filming an action movie in New York?

Will ：That was great. Of course, that story has always been set in New York. So to be there in my adopted hometown and shoot that film with this typical comic story and characters was really excellent. Working with the guys {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are going to be the turtles was really fun.

Reporter：What do you enjoy most about {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) a part of movies for kids and families?

Will ：  Having two boys of my own, I watch a lot of kids' TV shows and films. I have a new found {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (appreciate) for family films that I feel {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (comfort) letting my kids watch. I really appreciate {#blank#}9{#/blank#} when people make great shows and films for kids that have a good message and keep kids engaged. When I was a kid, there wasn't much out there for kids, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} there were all these great stories. When I was seven, Star Wars came out, and that had a lasting impact on me.

    How are you getting along with your high school? It may be hard for you as this is the first time you {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leave) your parents. I know that you are now having trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (communicate) with others. That's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you are new here and people don't know about you. But I think you can follow the advice below.

    First, you should take {#blank#}4{#/blank#} active part in the discussions and show your own opinions about the matters, and at the same time, learn to listen to other people's views {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (careful). Second, you should learn about your classmates' likes and dislikes, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} can make you get familiar with them. Only in this way can you get to know more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (difference) people and show them that you are just as friendly. I'm always here ready to help. We can take part in some {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (activity) together and I can introduce you to others.

    There's no need {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (worry) too much. People will know you more very soon and will like to make friends {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you if you can do as the above. Just remember, “God helps those who help themselves.”

    Just like every technological advancement, the next is set to be a huge deal, and such is the case for 5G.The wireless technology {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect) to power self-driving cars, virtual reality, smart {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (city), and networked robots. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (research) from King's College London who have joined with Ericsson (ERIC) to dream up futuristic applications for 5G have looked at everything from music {#blank#}4{#/blank#} medicine.

    The team is working towards using {#blank#}5{#/blank#} technology to transfer physical skills across networks and creating what they are calling the “Internet of Skills”. “With 5G and the new networking architecture we're building, we're hoping to get this delay down to just the speed of light,” said Mischa Dohler, a professor of wireless communications at King's College.

    Furthermore, 5G will {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hopeful) allow a surgeon with virtual reality equipment {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (work) on the other side of the world via a robot. They will use haptic (触觉的) gloves, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} will allow the surgeon to sense motion and pressure when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (operate) on a patient and can get instant feedback via the gloves.

Meanwhile, Dohler does not expect this to happen overnight and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (believe) it could take the “Internet of Skills” another decade before it is fully functional.

    As I write this, I'm sitting on a bus back to Santiago in Chile where I am working {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a writer. I've just spent the weekend in a city called La Serena north of Santiago. I was lucky enough to see the flowering desert, a natural scene that {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (occur) around every five years here in the Atacama Desert.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (follow) a particularly large amount of rainfall earlier, a(n) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (vary) of flowers come into blossom. Bright purple flowers create {#blank#}5{#/blank#} unbelievably beautiful scene at the base of the surrounding mountains.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (have) a look at this wonderful treasure of nature, we took a bus from La Serena to a nearby town and then rented a car to go to the desert. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we saw did not disappoint us, and as expected it was even more fascinating than the pictures we had seen online. The bloom was particularly {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (impress) this year due to the strong presence of El Niño (a band of warm water in the Pacific Ocean that changes the temperatures and increases the rainfall in certain areas). The vast carpet of color {#blank#}9{#/blank#} spread into the distance towards the green hills was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (simple) breathtaking and deserved a large amount of photos! A real reminder of the beauty our planet can provide.

    A father was worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So his father determined {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) on a Buddhist monk to train his boy. The Buddhist monk said {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the boy's father, "You should leave your son alone here.

    I'll make him into a real man within three months. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, you can't come to see him during this period." Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the boy and an{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience) boxer. Each time the fighter {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attack) the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time the boy was knocked 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 left here {#blank#}9{#/blank#} longer."

    "I am sorry that is 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."
