It was a city in Hubei Province. On International Children's Day, some orphans(孤儿) from the Wuhan Welfare Institute for Children {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) to the park. An elderly westerner was with them. The children love the man very much and call {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Grandpa without doubt. This man was Professor William Dorrity, from Florida, the USA. In 2003, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Professor William Dorrity and his wife retired, they came to Wuhan and started to work as volunteers at the Welfare Institute.

    The Dorritys have been working hard {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(improve) the conditions at the Welfare Institute since they came. They often take children on day-trips, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(bring) them all kinds of food for the kids to enjoy. They recently bought audiphones(助听器) for four orphans {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hearing problems. They also bought {#blank#}7{#/blank#} wheelchair(轮椅) for ten-year-old Tan Jun, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} suffers from a brain problem. The Dorritys said “we love China and we love children, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we are happy to do this.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(Hope), there will be more people to give their love to those children.”

    Keeping a diary in English is one of the most effective ways to improve our English writing abilities. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(little) time. It can help {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(we) to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(keep) on doing this practice, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (difficulty). It often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) expression to our mind, and there are also many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese.

   As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook{#blank#}7{#/blank#}then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary.

    The 7th CISM Military World Games(世界军运会)will take place from Oct. 18 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Oct. 27，2019 in Wuhan, capital city of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(centre)China's Hubei Province.

    The games，the top sports gala for military personnel(军人), include 329 competition events of 27 kinds , {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are expected to attract around 8000 players from more than 100 {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (country)and regions.

    The games will be an international event with great importance and far-reaching influence and it will also be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} opportunity for foreign military personnel {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(learn) more about China and its military.

    The event's emblem(会徽)is made up of a dove, a star, ribbons and other elements and the mascot is called Bing Bing, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} design is based on the Chinese sturgeon(鲟), a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (serious)endangered fish known as the "panda in water". The slogan is "Military glory，world peace".

    The games, which {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hold)in Rome in 1995 for the first time, are a multi-sport event {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (organize)every four years by the CISM.

The English word "dinner" used to refer to breakfast. It comes from the Old French word "disnar", {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in fact means "breakfast".

So {#blank#}2{#/blank#} did this word come to have a different meaning? {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tradition), dinner (what we now refer to as breakfast) was the first meal of the day, eaten around noon. It also happened to be the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (big) meal of the day, with a lighter meal coming later {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (know) as supper.

Today many people find {#blank#}6{#/blank#} strange that the biggest meal of the day once centered around noon, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it made great sense at that time. Artificial lighting such as oil lamps and candles were expensive, and provided weak light at best. So people went to sleep at sundown, because it's difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) and eat in the dark. The last meal of the day was a rushed affair, a quick snack before the lights went out.

Eventually, more meals {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (add) to the day. This meant that people were eating smaller meals before the bigger meal. So the word that once {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (refer) to our first meal, now refers to our last. However, it is true that in many Western cultures dinner still remains the biggest meal of the day.
