Many large cities in the United States have a place {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) Chinatown. People {#blank#}2{#/blank#} went there from China set up these places. For example, the Chinatown in San Francisco began in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 1840s. The Chinese people came to America {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (look) for gold. Then the place they lived in later became known as Chinatown. Many Chinese people in these places helped {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (building) the first railroad systems across the United States. However, after the work {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (end) in 1869, many Chinese moved to the eastern and middle parts of the United States. We can also find Chinatowns in other {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (country). For example, the first Chinese people in London {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (arrive) in the late 18th century. Later, the Chinese people opened small stores and restaurants there. Chinatown around the world are not only places where Chinese people live and work, they are also places where {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (visit) can learn more {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Chinese culture and traditions.

    Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across from {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (I), and it was only a few metres away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.

    Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the woman didn't wash her window.

    One {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sun) morning, I decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (clean) up my apartment, including {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wash) my windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished cleaning, I sat down for a rest by the window. What {#blank#}6{#/blank#} surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see)! Her window was clean! {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (Sudden), I realized I had made a mistake. I have watched her through my dirty window all the time.

    That was quite an important lesson for me. Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (one), "Am I looking {#blank#}10{#/blank#} him through the dirty window of my heart?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world clearly.

    Danny is my friend. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(live) in a rich family. His parents always{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(give)him lots of pocket money. But Danny always {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(try) his best{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(save) money. He has some good ways to do it.

    Danny enjoys{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(read).He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (buy) lots of books since he was young. He tells me he often buys books online, because they're cheaper. And when he has free time, he often goes to bookstores or libraries to do some reading. Last Saturday, he {#blank#}7{#/blank#}((invite) me to our city library to read.

    Danny usually {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(go) to school by bike instead of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) a bus. Sometimes when it rains or snows, he walks. Danny {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(become) very healthy and saved much money by these two ways.
