    Does the age gap matter in a relationship?

    The love story of French President Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Trogneux, 24 years his senior, has aroused heated discussion on age differences {#blank#}1{#/blank#} relationships. Does age matter or should love prevail(战胜) over all?

    I find {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a very heartwarming love story. Not just this couple,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}any couple - what does age difference matter after all? If they love each other,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( devote) to the relationship and work on making it strong, that is what{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (count).

    It is nearly impossible for Chinese women to accept Macron's relationship. It is  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (common) for older men to marry younger women, but for an older woman to marry a younger man is often seen as {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (appropriate). If you get along well, go for it, it's your life and life is way too short{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (let) a potential soul mate get away because of what you think others would say. I think it really doesn't matter. It is involved in the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (devote) of the people and how well they enjoy each other's company is important along with supporting each other {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(emotion), financially etc....

    Music is in the comers of everyday life. It is said to be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(benefit) to us both physically and mentally.

    There are many ways to make music. For example, if you blow into bamboos or shells, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(permit) air to come in, they can produce pleasant music. A recent discovery suggests that music is played much earlier than we think. In 1995, deep in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}cave in Slovenia occupied 45,000 years ago by Neanderthals, a leg bone of a bear with four finger holes was found, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} suggested that flutes（笛子）had come into {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exist) at that time. Later, many other {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tradition) musical instruments like drums were unearthed. Ancient people even {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(seek) a way to make music out of a bow that {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(intend) for hunting, so we have to admit that they did have a great gift {#blank#}9{#/blank#}music. But if accurately dated, the Neanderthal flute is by far the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(early) known example of music.

    Now music can be found in every known culture, and even the most isolated（孤立的）groups have a certain form of music.

    Li Qiang couldn't believe that he had travelled to the year AD 3008 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a time capsule. Transported by Wang Ping's parents' company {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) "Future Tours", he started his first time trip. On his {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (arrive), the totally new surroundings were difficult for him {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(tolerate). His head ached for lack of fresh air {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he also suffered from "time lag". {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (Lucky), his guide, Wang Ping, who was very understanding, gave him much help in time. He gave Li Qiang some green tablets and a mask, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} helped Li overcome the problems.

    After a short time of feeling unsettled and nervous, Li Qiang was back on {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he) feet again. Then he followed Wang Ping to collect a hovering carriage that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (drive) by computer. Soon he could fly as swiftly as Wang Ping. How amazing it was to fly above the ground! Then they arrived at a strange-looking house belonging to Wang Ping's parents. Li Qiang was treated to a delicious dinner and had a wonderful bath there. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (exhaust), Li Qiang slid into bed and fell fast asleep.

The Truth about Whisky

    Whisky is probably {#blank#}1{#/blank#} most famous product of Scotland. Whisky making provides work {#blank#}2{#/blank#} several thousand people in the Scottish Highlands and islands, and whisky is Scotland's biggest goods {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sell) to every corner of the world.

    The qualities of whisky come from the water which {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) to make it the rich "peaty"(多泥炭的) water of Scotland. When whisky is first made, it is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (actual) clear, not brown in colour. The colour comes from the wooden {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (container) in which the whisky is stored for several years to allow it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mature) from a little added sugar.

    For many years, whisky has been one of the most popular drinks all over the world, and Scotland {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (produce) more and more of it so far. But whisky sales have not increased as fast, so there are now large reserves of whisky in Scotland, especially the better and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) expensive whisky. So a lot of the whisky sold today was made several years ago when people thought that whisky would get more and more popular. That is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, today, a lot of the whisky in the shops is marked with "Ten years old", or even "Fifteen years old".
