Great changes have taken place in Beijing. In the past, the roads were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} /′nærəʊ/. Big families were crowded {#blank#}2{#/blank#} small houses. Many children couldn't get enough food and good education. People kept {#blank#}3{#/blank#} touch with their friends and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} /′relətɪvz/ far away mainly by letter or telegram. But now there are more and more ring roads. And the buildings are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (tall). People can enjoy good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} /′medɪkl/ care. There are more food and clothes to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} /′sætɪsfaɪ/ people's needs. We can use telephones, cellphones, fax {#blank#}8{#/blank#} /mə′ʃi:nz/ and the Internet. We are so pleased to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the changes in Beijing ourselves.
