— No problem.

Dear David,

    I'm glad you're going to Beijing to learn Chinese. Every year，there are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(million)of foreigners coming to China to learn Chinese. China is one of the greatest {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(country)in the world and Chinese is becoming more and more {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(use).Many foreigners are learning {#blank#}4{#/blank#}now. But it may be more difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese，because it's different {#blank#}5{#/blank#}English. As a language，Chinese is getting as {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(important)as English. So I think it's also a new challenge(挑战)for you. If you want to learn it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(good), you should study harder {#blank#}8{#/blank#}before. Remember to listen to the radio to practise your listening. It's a good idea to catch every chance(机会)to talk in Chinese. It's important {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(do)some reading and writing. If you have any {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(question)，please ask me. I'm sure you'll make it.

    Hope to see you soon in Beijing！

Yours,

Li Ping

    When British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (one) show a monkey smiling toothily for the camera. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the Internet.

    Nobody knew they would create a copyright(版权) battle three years {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (late).

    Not long ago, a website put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free photos {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Slater's permission(允许). Slater asked the website {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) them down since he owned the copyright.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, the website refused to do so. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright of the photo. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.

    They said, "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source can't ask for copyright. That {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mean) monkeys don't own copyright."

    Slater argued that the pictures belonged to him as they were taken from his camera. He said he bought the camera; he spent a lot of money {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (travel) to Indonesia; and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his camera away. All these have made him own the pictures, no matter {#blank#}10{#/blank#} pushed the button. In a sense, the monkeys helped him take the photos.
