Zhou Yang wants to be a journalist, so he asks advice from a senior editor. The following are their dialogues.

Zhou: How to work in a team?

Editor: Firstly, you should work as an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (assist) then you can cover a story and submit the article yourself. Besides, you'll have professional photographers with you to take photographers.

Zhou: How to get an accurate story ?

Editor: You need to be curious and ask as many different questions {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you can. What's more, you must do research to keep yourself {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inform)of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (miss) parts of the story. Don't miss your deadline ,don't be rude, don't talk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} much, but make sure you listen {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the interviewee carefully.

Zhou: How to protect a story from accusation?

Editor: {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the interviewee agrees, you can use a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (record) to get the facts straight, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can offer the evidence {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (support) your story.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I've learned that an art exhibition is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hold) and that you're collecting suggestions on its location. I'm writing this letter to share{#blank#}2{#/blank#} you my opinions.

    In my opinion,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} is more advisable to hold the art exhibition in Shanghai Museum than in community libraries. My reasons are as follows.

    On one hand, it is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(convenient) for people to get to Shanghai Museum{#blank#}5{#/blank#}is located in the center of the city. Besides, the museum is much larger than commuity libraries, which {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(provide)visitors with more comfortable environment for{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(appreciate) art.

    On the other hand, as a well-known museum, Shanghai Museum is more professional and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience)in holding art exhibitions. Its professional security guards and advanced facilities can better protect those famous {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(paint)from being damaged {#blank#}10{#/blank#}stolen.

    Therefore, I suggest the exhibition should be held in Shanghai Museum.

    “Traveling to China seems like traveling to another world. Its many famous scenic attractions impressed me {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (great),”an American said. The following is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he wrote on his website.

    My friends and I had a family visit in Xi'an,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} old city with a long history in China. The hosts were retired or stayed at home without a job, and they were friendly to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (visit) from different countries coming their homes.

    We {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(taste) the true home-cooked dishes in the home of the family that we visited. For in-homing dinner, the host would prepare a list of menus in advance (提前). Our tour guide asked {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (we) for advice about the food, so the host would try to cook what we wanted {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (eat) at his home. We just enjoyed the locally cooked dishes. It was quite a different and exciting experience.

    Many foreigners enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (learn) how to make Chinese dumplings. We were also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (offer) a general cooking class in the local family. The host taught us to make dumplings step by step with lots of patience. And we didn't need to pay any money {#blank#}10{#/blank#}this. Travel China Guide offers this kind of service free of charge.

    The family visit in Xi'an was a good chance for us to get to know Chinese people's daily life.

Dear headmaster,

    On hearing the news that a Reading Festival is to be held on campus on the World Book and Copyright Day and the possible project is open to be recommended, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hardly wait to write to you, sharing my humble opinions.

    As far as I'm concerned, the theme of the festival can be “sharing”, primarily {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (consist) of three parts. Firstly, the festival can start with a 30-minute discussion where groups of students can exchange and share what they {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (expose) to recently, expressing themselves freely. Following this section is the speech. Teacher and student representatives previously selected by us are to share and recommend the book they think really deserving to be read. It's needless to say that the last sharing section which is the most meaningful is donation, during {#blank#}4{#/blank#} time everyone present, teachers or students, is expected to donate one or more books to the library. As for when {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hold) the activity, the afternoon may be an ideal choice so that it won't interrupt our classes.

    My advice is justified by the following reasons. First and foremost, it is in the group discussion and exchange that we students can have a thorough idea {#blank#}6{#/blank#} our peers are reading for the moment, serving as a driving force for our own reading journey. So it is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the books recommended. Named by those “idols” in our mind, they will definitely win our heart. As for the donation, the benefits are exactly self-evident. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} can we share beyond our class or even beyond our school, developing a good campus tradition, but {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (importantly), these books which are sure to be dusted on our shelves can now be of more value.

    I'm looking forward to your favorable reply. And {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is my sincere hope that the festival can be a great success and we can gain a lot from it.

Yours,

Amy Young

    Traditionally, we usually get a general impression of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stranger) by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. However, in the age of social networking, first impressions are sometimes made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} looking at their profile photos on social platforms like Twitter or WeChat.

    These social images say a lot about our personality, according to a recent study, in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} researchers used a software to analyze the profile photos to find out whether there was a connection between a person's personality and his profile photo.

    The result reveals that open-minded people are more likely {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pose) with an object in their profile photos. Their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (excite) faces can tell how much they enjoy their experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic (神经质的) people tend to choose photos of objects rather than selfies to avoid {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) too miserable because of the strong social practice against a sad or angry {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (appear) in profile photos.

    Apart from the objects in profile photos, the colors used in them also show {#blank#}8{#/blank#} outgoing the owner is. For example, extroverts (性格外向者) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (find) to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality.

    Next time choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) first what kind of image we'd like to convey. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
