If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (French), or a watch in Switzerland? No matter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you may buy, you might think those products {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) in those countries．However, you could be wrong．Kang Jian is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 18-year-old student from Shanghai．Last year he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (go) to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco．He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China．“I wanted to buy a toy car {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China．” Toys are not the only things made in China．“I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains．“But I had to visit five or six stores before{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (buy) products made in China．“In fact,” he continues, “there {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) many other things there made in China — footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones．Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it's great that China is so good at making these everyday things．However, he wishes that in the future China will also get {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world．

    A young man runs towards a wall. But he does not stop {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (run). He reaches me wall and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kick) it off. He uses the force (力量) of his kick to push {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (him) up me wall. Now, his hands can reach the top of the wall. He uses his arms {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pull) his body up. He quickly climbs over the top of the wall. Then, he jumps down {#blank#}5{#/blank#} keeps running. He leaves the wall behind him. This young man is doing parkour (跑酷).

    People must practise a lot to be good at parkour. They do a lot of running, jumping and climbing. People like parkour for many reasons. First, it does not need too much money. People only need to wear{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (comfort) clothes and shoes so that they can move easily.

    Second, parkour helps people think {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (different) about things around them. Tb do parkour, they must think creatively (创造性地). When they see some tall buildings around them, they think about what they can do {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them. Finally, many people enjoy parkour because it is more than just a sport. It is like life: If there {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) a tall thing in front of you, you must find {#blank#}10{#/blank#} way to get past it.

    Now more than 20 schools in the northwest {#blank#}1{#/blank#} China are using E-textbooks. Some teachers say that they make learning easier and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (teach)more convenient.

    Jing Xuan is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (excite)about lessons like Chinese，English and math. She  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(enjoy)the pictures and animations(动画)in the E-textbooks. The children here {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (study)with E-textbooks since last September. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the help of the E textbooks，some good ideas are shared at times. Some parents encourage their children {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (try)the E-textbooks to make learning easier. But others worry about their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (children)health.

     "You can't imagine how the growing popularity of E-textbooks is changing the way the students learn! More and more students can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (learn)with E-textbooks in the future. However, there's still a long way {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (go)."Said the headmaster.

Imagine walking around a fashion store. You see a beautiful leather bag and want {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it. But in fact, it's made from recycled fruit and food waste. Would you still buy it?

Song Youyang, a 30-year-old material designer, works on developing products. She studied material design at a university in Germany and now lives in China. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she was designing some new products, she couldn't find any suitable biomaterials (生物材料) to work with. So, she and her team decided to develop {#blank#}3{#/blank#} own new material from fruit waste.

The resulting material {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a lot like leather. It keeps the fruits' texture (质地), sense of touch and nice smell. Song and her team have used this new material to make fashion {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, such as bags, lamps and so on.

The designer thought these products would be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. But in fact, not many customers have bought them. "Many people have their old ideas about biomaterials," said Song. "They think these materials are too expensive or of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} quality." As a result, it's quite difficult for these materials to become {#blank#}8{#/blank#} used. But Song still believes biomaterials will shape the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. She and her team will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} working on new types of "green" materials and products.

Besides Song's team, many other fashion companies are {#blank#}11{#/blank#} working towards the same goal. They are showing us that fashion can be environmentally friendly.
