Can you imagine a world without the Internet? It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (interest) to think about it.

    Now, China has more than 800 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (million) Internet users, according to the China Internet Network Information Center. This is the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (high) number of users in the world. Today, 66% of Chinese netizens (网民) are teenagers. "They spend about 13 hours {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) online every week." said Qian Hulin, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Internet engineer.

    Teenagers surf the Internet to search {#blank#}6{#/blank#} information, communicate with friends and have fun. On the Internet, teenagers can find out almost anything {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (easy). And surfing the Net can help with their homework and widen their knowledge.

    Li Dong, a teacher {#blank#}8{#/blank#} works at No. 14 Middle School in Shijiazhuang, likes her students to use the Internet. "When we talk in class, students who surf the Net usually know clearly more background information {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the others," she said.

In addition, people can use the Internet {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (write) letters or stories and send e-mails. Many teens keep in touch with their friends online. It is cheaper and quicker than phoning somebody far away.

    Many middle school students like {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（watch）TV very much. But {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Monday to Friday they must go to school. On Saturday and Sunday，they stay at home and watch TV all day! They don't know it's bad for {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（they）eyes. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（usual）children like hamburgers, fried chicken and some{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（beef）. They don't like any vegetables {#blank#}6{#/blank#}fruit. They don't know eating more vegetables and fruit {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（be）better than eating meat. At school, the students only do a few {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（minute）of sports. The teachers think it is quite important {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the students to do some sports, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}they try to ask the students to exercise every day.

    Can you write down Chinese characters(汉字) that are read to you? It can be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(difficult), especially when the Chinese characters are not included in most dictionaries.

    Lu Jialei, a student from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (win) the Chinese Character dictation(听写)Competition on Oct. 18, 2013.

During the competition, the host read Chinese characters to the student, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(explain) their meanings and gave example sentences. The student was required to write down the Chinese characters.

    Winning the competition was a(n) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (surprise) to Lu. "I am not the smartest one," she said. "But I pay attention to details(细节)."

    To prepare {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the competition, Lu and her teammates studied the Modern Chinese for 10days. She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} had a secret wepon(武器).She studied how Chinese characters were formed.

    In the final round of the competiton, the host read wanluan to Lu and said it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mean) graceful（优雅的）. "I had never heard that before!" said Lu. But she made a good guess. "Chinese characters meaning graceful often have '女' in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they), while many Chinese characters pronouncing luan have '亦'. So I wrote it down: '婉娈' ."

    Lu has good reading habits. "When others pay attention to the main idea of a(n) {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(story), she looks at how the author uses words and sentences to express himself or herself," said Su Yunsheng, Lu's Chinese teacher.

    Su is happy {#blank#}10{#/blank#} see students like Lu find the beauty of Chinese language. "Learning to write Chinese characters is an important part of inheriting(继承)culture," said Su.
