In a tree in a jungle, there once lived many birds. They were  h{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in their small nests（鸟巢） and sang every day. Before the rainy season arrived, all the animals in the jungle repaired their homes. The birds a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}made their homes safer.

    Many birds brought twigs （细枝） and leaves and others wove（编织） their nests."We  s{#blank#}3{#/blank#}also store some food for our children," said one of the birds. And they collected food until they had enough to see them through the rainy season. They kept  t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}busy getting ready for the bad times.

    Soon the rain came. It was f{#blank#}5{#/blank#}by thunder and lightning. All the animals and birds stayed at their homes. It kept raining for many days. One day, a monkey wet in the rain came into the jungle. He sat on a branch（树枝）, shaking w{#blank#}6{#/blank#}cold.

    The poor monkey tried his best to get a place, but f{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The leaves were not enough to save him from the rain."Brrr! Itis so cold!" said the monkey. The birds were watching all this. They felt sorry for the monkey,  b{#blank#}8{#/blank#}there was little they could do for him. One of them said. "Brother! Our small nests are not big enough to give you shelter." Another bird said, "All ofus prepared for the rainy season. If you had, you would not be in this difficult  s{#blank#}9{#/blank#}".

    "How dare you tell me what to do?" said the monkey, shouting at the "bird. The monkey  a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}hit the bird's nest and threw it on the ground. The bird and her babies were helpless.

    The poor birds thought, "Fool never value（重视） good advice. It is better not to advise them ".

    Why do I want to go to college? No one has ever asked me such a question. But many times I have asked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. I have come up with a whole variety of reasons. The most important reason is that I want to be a better man.

    Many things make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different from or better than animals.

    One of the most important things is education. If I fail to receive higher education, my education will not finish. As I want to be a fully developed man, I must get a well-rounded education. Good colleges and universities are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to provide it. I know one can get educated in many ways, but colleges and universities are among the best places to teach me how to educate myself. When I am well-educated, I will be able to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} fit into society.

    China is a kind of artwork. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for ancient Chinese culture.

    Jemmy, a foreigner that comes from Italy, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} lives in Japan now, thinks china is very beautiful, fascinating and charming. He has never seen china. Amusingly, he focused on Chinese culture for rather long and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the courses about Chinese literature at university. He's always wanting a chance to watch some china, of course, he is also hoping for the day he can have a look at the colorful china.

"I used to think that Chinese culture is indecent and unsubstantiated(无从考证的), but once I watched the beautiful miracle, china, I have to say, being surprised and interested for a while, I think it unbelievably amazing and irreplaceable", said Washycares, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} foreigner. He also tells us," We {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that the porcelain ware(瓷制品) was useless and ugly in the past, but China's beauty has been powerful enough to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that what we think is totally wrong. The detailed texture of china and fine workmanship deeply surprise me."

A professor fond of china said," Making china requires superb skills, rich experience and perfect carving, these are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} make china exquisite and charming." However, his understanding of china remains {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the surface. He added, "There are lots of things about china that need me to know, to seek and to feel, which are also what I'm learning."

    In addition to(除了) what they mentioned, I think the more important reason {#blank#}9{#/blank#} China is becoming popular is that it represents the diligence(勤劳) and wisdom of Chinese. What's more, china has also recorded the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of dynasties and the process(进展) of history. It's obvious that china has a lot of meanings, but they are really hard understood.
