Most people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} get a text message from a wrong number either let the person know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} just ignore it—but this wrongful text was one that the receiver felt he had to answer.

    When Mark and Lindsey Lashley had their baby boy, Cason Knox, one of their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (relative) sent a group text message to let a few {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (friend) know about the birth--but it turned out that one of the phone numbers no longer belonged to someone they knew. Dennis Williams, the new {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (own) of the phone number, responded to the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (excite) baby news, “ {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (congratulate), but I think someone got the wrong number.”

When everyone else in the group text message realized what was going on, they laughed and apologized to this kind stranger for getting him caught up in the baby birthing news, but Williams ended up {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise) everyone. “What's the room number...we have gifts,” Williams's follow-up text read—and the best part is that he {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (actual) showed up at the hospital to welcome Cason. And they talked about turning {#blank#}10{#/blank#} embarrassing situation into a sweet one!

    On arriving in the United States, I felt everything was different. There were many new things I had to adapt to. One thing that really {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) me a long time to adapt to was speaking the language.

    I remember {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (clear) that I had to struggle to learn English because I couldn't even write a short paragraph to introduce myself at the first day of my English class.

    The teacher asked me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it was difficult for me. If it was, I could change to level one! However, I was stubborn and swore that I was going to succeed.

    I started to spend many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hour) per day, even though it was stressful, because I wanted to take advantage {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this special chance to study English in the U.S.A.

    I felt depressed because I couldn't understand {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people were saying even though I studied hard. However, I still kept {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (try) and never gave up.

    Now, I can tell you that I have improved a lot, but sometimes it is still easy for me to get {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lose) if I don't know what topic people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (talk) about. To adapt to this new language, I had to tell {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (I) that I could do it. I really believe I can!

    The world's longest sea bridge {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge has opened. The bridge {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (link) Hong Kong and Macau to mainland China. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} took more than a decade to construct it. Builders had to make artificial islands in the Pearl River Delta {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (provide) the supports for the bridge. There is also a 6.7-kilometre underwater tunnel in the middle of the bridge, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} allows ships to sail through the Delta. The new bridge stretches {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (long) than 14 Golden Gate Bridges lined up end to end. The bridge will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (great) cut the time it takes to travel from mainland China to Hong Kong and Macau.

    Chinese President Xi attended the opening ceremony of the bridge. He hopes the new crossing will help to connect 68 million people in 11 different {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (city). China's government believes that up to 29,000 cars will cross the sea link daily by the year 2030. A trade and tourism expert said, “This makes Hong Kong a lot more accessible for goods, passengers and trade, so this is a benefit {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the economic perspective.” The bridge will be open to tourists to drive across it. However, local car owners will not be able to cross the bridge {#blank#}10{#/blank#} they have a special permit. Most drivers will take a shuttle bus to make the journey.

You can use it to fly a kite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to sail a boat Wind is one of our cleanest and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (rich) power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(begin) to be used in ancient Iran back in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} seventh century BC. They were first {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (introduce) to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (use) wind power.

    For many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (century), people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. Today, there is a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (globe) movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
