Spain could soon become {#blank#}1{#/blank#}first European Union country to extradite Taiwanese criminal {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(suspect)to China, instead of their home island.

    In December, a joint Spanish-Chinese operation busted what police said was a massive{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(internationally) phone scamming syndicate(诈骗集团).

    Although most of the 269 suspects {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(arrest) were Taiwanese nationals, Beijing asked for the entire group to be sent to China. Last month, the Spanish government approved the request.

    Taiwan, which China {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (see) as a breakaway province that will eventually be reunited with the mainland, has protested that the decision violates historical European human rights norms and the “principle of nationality”.

But the reality is that it can do little {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(stop) the transfer. Spain, like most countries, doesn't {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (formal) recognize Taiwan as a state.

    Analysts say China's stance on the issue reflects the tougher line it has taken towards Taiwan since President Tsaiing-wen, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}party leans towards formal independence, won elections in January last year. The mainland has also spoken of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) frustration with Taiwan, accusing it    {#blank#}10{#/blank#} failing to rein in (控制)thousands of its nationals who dupe Chinese people via phone scams from abroad.

    The only survivor of a shipwreck(失事船)was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed worriedly for God to rescue(营救)him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but {#blank#}1{#/blank#}seemed forthcoming(即将来临的). Exhausted, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(eventual)managed to build a little hut(小屋)out of driftwood(漂浮的木头)to protect him{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the bad weather, and to store his few possessions(财产). But then one day, after searching for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(roll)up to the sky. The worst had happened;{#blank#}5{#/blank#}was lost. He was almost fainted(昏倒)with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this on me!” he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(approach)the island. It had come to rescue him. “{#blank#}7{#/blank#}did you know I was here?” he asked one of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.

    It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we{#blank#}8{#/blank#}lose heart,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}God is at work in our lives, even in the middle of pain and suffering.

    Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}smoke signal from the grace(恩泽)of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves. God has a positive answer for them.

    My first impression of Mrs. Li, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} kind and patient teacher，was that she was nervous and shy. But now，her characters and teaching styles such as explaining English grammar so {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (clear)， {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (avoid) making students feel stupid make the class like working {#blank#}4{#/blank#} her. Mrs. Chen，almost 60，is very strict. She's also very serious and doesn't smile much. Some of our classmates don't like her, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} most of us really appreciate her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her teaching is so well organized and clear. Mr. Wu  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (teach) us for two weeks and he's already very popular. The young teacher，about 28，has got so much energy that this is one class you do not fall {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sleep) in！He's really amusing and tells jokes {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  he thinks we're getting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bore)．I respect him a lot.

    Beijing's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (forbid)City—traditionally off-limits at night for anyone except emperors—was lit up with lanterns after dark Tuesday as China {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (celebrate)the end of the Lunar New Year holiday.

    The palace complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (usual)closes by 5 p.m. though some distinguished guests have been taken {#blank#}4{#/blank#} after dark on occasion. It was opened at night for the first time since its rebirth as the Palace Museum 94 years ago.

    The palace walls were brightened with red Chinese lanterns—designed to recreate the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(feel)of the royal court of old—and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} light show lit up the complex while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured picture called “A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” was beamed onto the palace roof.

    People rushed to get free {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ticket)online, for the rare night-time opening, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} were snapped up within minutes.

    “Creativity makes the 600-year-old palace younger and draws traditional culture{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(close)to the public, ”said the People's Daily. The Palace Museum is now on a campaign {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(attract)even more visitors.
