    It seems that Chinese people have always loved to discuss {#blank#}1{#/blank#}differences between northerners and southerners. Now, another difference has drawn wide attention: the way northerners and southerners shop {#blank#}2{#/blank#} food at markets.

    People from southern China normally buy {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they need for just one or two meals at a time. It's normal for them to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(potato) and 25 grams of beef at a time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, a person may be laughed at if they do this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) normal.

    The different could be because of the different climates. Food can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (keep) for a long time in the north, as it's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (usual) cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (store) food for a long time. But due to the hot and wet weather in the south, southern Chinese people prefer {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(buy) just enough food for one meal or one day. Otherwise, the food may go bad.

    Maybe these debates about different customs help us to understand each other better.

    Chinese believe nine represents sun, the{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bright) thing. September 9th has two nine, and the sun is doubled, so it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) Double Ninth Festival.  "Nine" is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} positive number. September 9th comprises double "Nine", so it gets the name. In {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(real), it has been formed as early as the Warring States period. To the Tang Dynasty , it was{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (official) appointed{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the folk festival , and then it's followed so far. Nine also means Long in Chinese words. It's the Chinese Festival for the Elderly, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}reflects（反应）our behavior of respecting, caring , loving and helping the old. It's also a method to promote communication with the elderly well. It is in1989 {#blank#}8{#/blank#}Chinese put annual Sept.9 as the Festival for the Elderly, cleverly {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) tradition and modernity. It's good for keeping our nice traditional civilization through it, and a good way to help us communicate with the elder better, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) our society more harmonious.

    The solar system was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(die) out. People all around the world built giant planet thruster to move Earth to a new star system. Yet the 2005 years journey came with unexpected dangers. In order to save human beings, a group of young people in this age of a wandering earth came out{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(brave) and fought hard for everyone's{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(survive). It is{#blank#}4{#/blank#}adaptation of Cixin Liu's The wandering earth.

    Cixin Liu is a writer{#blank#}5{#/blank#}led a revolution in science fiction, becoming the first Chinese{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(award)the Hugo Award in 2015. Like Hollywood space movies where Americans are pictured as the only ones capable{#blank#}7{#/blank#}saving human being, here Chinese astronauts are the adventurers among the global space community{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(determine) to complete the task.

    Regardless of the outcome for the history of mankind, Chinese astronauts have decided to choose hope. Hope is as precious{#blank#}9{#/blank#}diamond, which is the only way home. As the saying goes in the movie, among tens of thousands of matters, safety is the first one.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (regular)operations will make your loved ones shed tears.

    The debate {#blank#}1{#/blank#} junk food in schools has gone for many years, and people on both sides feel very strongly. Some people believe junk food, such as candy, cookies, potato chips, and soda, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (taste) good, but it's not good for the human body. This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they have made an effort to ban it from schools. They think taking junk food out of schools will make kids healthier.

    Others, however, believe this kind of ban doesn't make much of a difference. Instead of banning junk food, they suggest students should be given choices between healthy and unhealthy ones. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (learn) to make healthier choices on their own is an important part of growing up.
