Here's a message {#blank#}1{#/blank#} needs to be kept in mind by every mom and dad. You love your kids not because o {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they do, but because of who they are.

    In fact, raising a child is just like training a dog. You reward your children because of their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (succeed) or progress they made.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (similar), a circus trainer gives a dog some food every time it  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (jump) through a hoop(圈).

    The dog isn't loved for itself, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} for its actions.

    Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the popular talk show host, has a new book for children {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (title) “Why Do You Love Me?” Part of the story includes a mother {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (explain) to her son that it is not what he does that makes her love him—she loves him because he is unique and he is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (she) son.

    Every mom, dad and grandparent needs to memorize the words of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} popular song: “I love you most of all because you're you.”

The Internet {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) part of young people's life already. A report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet . Most of them get {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) information on the Internet {#blank#}3{#/blank#}use the Internet to help their studies. But many students don't use it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a good way. Some play games too much, some visit websites that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}shouldn't look at. So bad things may happen{#blank#}6{#/blank#}students spend too much time on the Internet.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} is important for students to use the Internet properly. Now we have a textbook,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}uses many examples to teach students some good ways to use the Internet. It gives useful {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (advise).

    Mr. Johnson lived in the woods with his wife and children. He owned {#blank#}1{#/blank#} farm, which looked almost abandoned.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lucky), he also had a cow which produced milk every day. He sold or exchanged some of the milk in the towns nearby for other food and made cheese and butter for the family with what {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (leave). The cow was their only means of support, in fact. One day, the cow was eating grass {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it began to rain heavily. While {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) great efforts to run away, she fell over the hill and died. Then the Johnson tried to make a living {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the cow. In order to support his family, Mr.

    Johnson {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (begin) to plant herbs and vegetables. Since the plants took a while to grow, he started cutting down trees {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sell) the wood. Thinking about his children's clothes, he started growing cotton, too. When harvest came around, he was already selling herbs, vegetables and cotton in the market {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people from the town met regularly.

    China is known as the Kingdom of Bamboo. More than 400 species of bamboo, one third of all known species in the world, grow in China. China {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lead) the world in the amount of area planted with bamboo, the number of bamboo trees and the amount of bamboo wood{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (produce) every year.

    The oldest bamboo{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(article) in China were unearthed from the remains of a primitive society that existed some 7,000 years ago in{#blank#}4{#/blank#} is now Hemudu, Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province. As early as the Shang Dynasty, Chinese people used the bamboo for making weapons ,，such as bows and arrows. Before paper{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(invent), strips of bamboo were the most important writing medium, more widely used than silk, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they were cheaper, resistant to corrosion (腐蚀)，and more abundant. Bamboo has thus played an important part in the spread and development of traditional Chinese culture.

    Bamboo was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(close) connected with the daily lives of people in ancient China. Su Dongpo, a literary giant of the Song Dynasty, said that people could not live{#blank#}8{#/blank#}bamboo, and people of the time used bamboo {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(make) paper, hats, shoes and so on. At that time, as today, bamboo shoots were eaten as a popular dish because of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) crispness and fresh, sweet taste. Bamboo shoots also contain vitamins, sugar, fat, and protein.

    The day before he heads to a war, an undefeated {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (command) named Qi has a dream in which he loses a battle and dies. When he wakes up, Qi gets ready to go and fight.

When he gets {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (drink) and falls asleep in his tent, Qi's army {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (attack) by the enemy and he gets killed just as his dream predicted. This is the story that has inspired the latest Kunqu Opera production.

    As one of the oldest of the traditional Chinese opera {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (form), Kunqu Opera, which is about 600 years old, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (combine) singing, dancing and lyrical recitation. Performed in the Suzhou dialect (方言).UNESCO listed Kunqu Opera as an intangible heritage(非物质文化遗产)of humanity in 2001.

    Earlier this year, a plan of combining Kunqu Opera and traditional Chinese idioms was developed, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} would allow young Chinese directors and Kunqu Opera performers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) together. The young artists are working on developing original plays based on traditional Chinese idioms to keep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} tradition alive while making it popular again{#blank#}10{#/blank#} new ideas.
