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．

    Two girls are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lie) by the lake and talking about their childhood.

Dona: You know what? I used to have short straight hair. When my mum's friends saw me, they said, "Hey, what a lovely son you have!" Isn't that funny?

Cathy: Haha! Did you use to be as wild {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a boy?

Dona: Kind of. I used to play with boys a lot. You know, we used to live in the forest. I always went {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hunt) with my dad. It was fun. Once I hunted for a whole day by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (I). How brave I was! I also climbed up a very big tree. And my parents were so worried. But I thought I had so wonderful {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience).

Cathy: Cool. Well, you don't look like a boy now, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

Dona: No, I don't. I'm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (much) like a girl now, with long curly hair, and I'm a little bit shy.

Cathy: So you are. Well, believe it or not, I used to be a very fat girl with a round face.

Dona: How come! You're so thin.

Cathy: Well, my mum said that I used to sleep a lot and eat {#blank#}8{#/blank#} lot. She said that I didn't like exercise.

Dona: No wonder you were so fat. Did you use to be very shy?

Cathy: Not really. But I used to be very quiet and I would spend the whole day reading in the room.

Dona: I could {#blank#}9{#/blank#} believe it. Now you even can't stay in the room for a whole morning. You like outdoor activities so much.

Cathy: That's for sure. I need exercise. I don't want to be fat as I used to be.

Dona: Me, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Shall we do some sports now?

Cathy: Sound like a good idea.
