While {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (visit) Hangzhou's West Lake and its surrounding beautiful hills, you'll understand {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it's been a great source of inspiration（灵感）for artists,poets and philosophers throughout Chinese history.

    Though {#blank#}3{#/blank#} rest of the country is moving from two wheels to four,cycling culture is thriving（繁荣的）in Hangzhou. The city {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (develop) China's first bike-sharing system in 2008.Since then,it's grown into the world's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (big) and one of the world's best public bike systems.

    Hangzhou grows some of China's finest green tea—Longjing.Every spring,before the traditional Qingming Festival, tea {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (love) from all over the country come to Longjing, a village {#blank#}7{#/blank#} lies just south of West Lake,for the first cut of top-quality tea. During tea season— {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (usual) late March and April—the air is filled with smell from the tea, when leaves {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pick) and roasted in the village.The village is open to the public and you can pick your own tea after getting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (permit) from the local tea farmers.

    Most students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good)than them, they usually believe that those students have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (change) facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(simple) the result of a high IQ.

    While your IQ tells you how {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(intelligence) you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovery, who {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (invent) the term EQ, gives the following description: At work, it is IQ {#blank#}8{#/blank#} gets you promoted. Supported by his academic research, Professor Salovery suggests that when {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(predict) someone's future success, their character, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.

    China, which takes pride in inventions in ancient times, has once again shown its ability {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(change)the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. The “new four great inventions” are all related to China's high-tech innovation(创新), {#blank#}2{#/blank#}improved the quality of people's lives. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}overseas Chinese student from Cambodia,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(add) that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, and it is of great {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(convenient). If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.” The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based {#blank#}7{#/blank#}satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. It is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(increase) clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is partly because China skipped over the PC age and went directly to mobile. China has the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(large) mobile use in the world.

    In terms of the “new four great inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said, “These products and service{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) customer experience so far, improving national and global economy at the same time”.

    Last week, I read an article about the terrible history of the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace, located in the western district of Beijing, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of three parks, including the Ming, Changchun and Wanchun, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} covers an area of about 5,200 mu.

    To build the famous royal garden, the Qing government invested lots of manpower and physical resources in it. In order for it to become the European-style palaces built of stone, Emperor Qianlong {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (employ)western designers to design it and made many skillful craftsmen(工匠)work day after day on it. After 130 years of hard labor, their work finally {#blank#}4{#/blank#} off. The Summer Palace took {#blank#}5{#/blank#} its glorious beauty. In a word, its construction style is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(combine)of landscape, painting and poetry.

    However, due to the Qing governments being {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, western invaders have begun to invade it since 1860, resulting in it {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(damage) badly, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} little remaining at that time. What's worse, the destruction didn't stop until the end of the war. After liberation, the Chinese government {#blank#}10{#/blank#} great importance to rebuilding the famous garden. Nowadays, everyone is likely to appreciate its beauty if he is free.

    The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fall) on Mar 6 and ends on Mar 20 this year.

Awakening of Insects signals a rise in temperature and increased rain fall. As the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (three) solar term in the lunar year, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it) name suggests the fact that animals sleeping in winter are awakened {#blank#}4{#/blank#} spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (activity). It is also a good time for people to enjoy fun outdoors, especially for people living in the city. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drive) to the suburbs, fishing in a lake or enjoying the singing bird will make for a perfect weekend in spring. The most popular fruit in this season is pears.

    Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a widely-practiced custom in China. As the weather gets {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (warm) and the air becomes drier, people tend to feel their mouths and tongues are dry, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can cause colds or coughs. A pear is sweet, juicy and cold, moistening (湿润) the lungs to arrest a cough. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, pears are highly recommended during the Awakening of Insects.

    Bank of China and Alibaba are the dream employers for Chinese students, according to a new survey.

    The survey of more than 55,000 students, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (conduct) by a research firm Universum, found that {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (rough) a quarter want to work for an international company, while only 9% want to work for a start-up.

    When it comes to desirable companies, business students {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (recognize) Bank of China as the top choice for seven years, and it shows no signs of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (give) up its lead.

    William Wu, manager of Universum, said that banking remains {#blank#}6{#/blank#} attractive industry for young Chinese. "China's government is now emphasizing the revolution of the finance industry, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} leaves the younger generation with the impression that though banking is a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tradition) industry, there are still a lot of development {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (opportunity)," Wu said.

    Alibaba improved six places from 2014, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rank) second among business students. It held a record-breaking $25 billion IPO in September.
