Summer vacation is coming. The Parkers are taking a 1 to Sanya. How will 2 go there? They have 3 ideas. The son Dale says, “Let's take the 4. Taking a journey by train is really relaxing. We 5 enjoy the beautiful scenery（风景） from the window.” The daughter Alice says, “ But the train station is far from our 6. If we go there by train, we have to 7 early. So let's drive a car.” “8?” asks Dale. “Because we can stop at any time we 9,” answers Alice. “But I think taking a journey by car is 10. What about taking a bus?” asks Dale. “Oh, I don't like that. There are always 11 people on the bus, and it 12 a long time,” says Alice. Then they go to ask for their 13 ideas. Mr. Parker wants to take the plane because it's the fastest (最快的) way. He says that they shouldn't spend too much time on the way, 14 they won't have much time to visit the city. But Mrs. Parker wants to go by ship, because it is cheap (便宜的) and they can save some 15. Which do you think is the best way?

    Cheongsam (also known as Qipao ), is a kind of traditional Chinese dress for women. It1from Manchu people of the Qing Dynasty(清朝) in the early 17th century.

    Once there was a young fisherwoman living near a place called Jingbo Lake. She made a living by fishing,2only problem was that when fishing she often felt bad because of her long wide clothes. Then an idea came into her3 — why not make a more comfortable dress to wear. Then she invented Qipao that helped herself fish 4.

    The5emperor(皇帝)who was in control of China at that time had a dream one night. In the dream, his dead father told him a lovely fisherwoman wearing a long dress, who lived by Jingbo lake, would 6 his wife. After that, the emperor sent some people to7that woman. At last, they found her8the place which his father told him. Then she became the emperor's wife,9her beautiful Qipao with her. Manchu women all liked Qipao and soon it became popular across China. Now it's also well-known all over the world. Not only Chinese women, but also women from foreign10such as Indonesia, are interested in wearing it.

This kind of traditional dress is made of either silk or cotton. And anyway, it becomes one of the symbols(象征) of China.

    A kindergarten teacher decided to have her class play a game. The teacher told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their potatoes after people they did not like.1 the number of potatoes would be2depending on how many people each student hated.

    The next day, with their potatoes, all the students went to school 3 the game. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with 4wherever they went for one week.

    Several days 5. Some of the students started to complain(抱怨), as their potatoes began to rot(腐烂)and6bad. The students who carried 7potatoes began to get unsatisfied with the heavy bags.

    One week later, the game 8. The teacher asked, "How did you9carrying around your potatoes for a week?"

    The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, "This is what it's like to carry hatred(仇恨 )in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can′t tolerate (容忍) carrying rotten potatoes for one week, how can you imagine having 10in your heart for a whole lifetime? Forgive others and move on with your life."

You want to know about my stay in the UK, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really 1 fantastic experience to study here. I came to Woodpark School in London two months ago. Since then, I 2 in this school. I find that school life in the UK is very different from that in China.

In China, the first lesson begins at about eight o' clock and there are 3 lessons a day. The first lesson in the UK begins an hour 4 than that in China. Before the first lesson, students all wait in a special classroom. Then a teacher calls the roll(点名) to check if 5 has arrived on time. After that, students change classrooms. Everybody has his or her own course schedule. They go to different classrooms for different lessons instead of 6 in the same classroom. For example, if one's first lesson is Maths, he or she should go to the classroom for Maths.

Besides languages, Science, art, British students learn many 7 courses such as cooking and gardening at school. The boy in my host family once cooked Chinese soup for me. It really surprised me because it tasted as 8 as what my mum cooked.

How time flies! I have been in the UK 9 two months. I will study here fo another month. I am sure I 10 find out more differences in the future. Believe me!

In 1944, a young man carrying a bag filled with books knocked on the doors of Mr. Wu Dayou's house in Kunming. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} young man was there to ask Wu to let him study in the then National Southwest Associated University (NSAU/Xinan Lianda) , where Wu was a professor. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (surprising) , just 13 years later, the seemingly common young man won the Nobel Prize in Physics. This man is none other than Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee.

During his years spent in NSAU, Lee quickly grew intellectually. He often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (find) himself asking Wu after lessons for more work and would often search for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (know) outside of the courses. 

Lee entered the University of Chicago's Graduate School {#blank#}5{#/blank#} just 23 years old and began researching physics. In 1956, he became {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (young) full professor at Columbia University. One year later, he, along with Chen Ning Yang, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 

When Lee returned to China in the spring of 1979, he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (invite) to teach two classes at the University of Science and Technology of China. He badly wanted more Chinese researchers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (understand) the progress the world has made in the past decades. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he established the CUSPEA program in 1979, which supported 915 Chinese students to study in the U. S. 

Although he was living abroad. Lee remained connected to China. His legacy serves as an inspiration (激励) for future generations to pursue {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) dreams and make a positive difference to the world.
