I'm a fan of movies. There are quite a few {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cinema) in my town. But I am new in town and don't know them clearly. So my friends give me some information {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(choose) a good one.

    Speaker 1: I'm Linda. The City Theater has the newest movies and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(comfortable) seats. The prices of the tickets are also fair(合理的).{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, it isn't open on Tuesday and Thursday.

    Speaker 2: I'm Daniel. The Tianhe Cinema is the most modern cinema {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the biggest screens. But the service isn't so good and people can't bring food or drinks into the cinema. They can only buy them inside the cinema. So I hardly {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(watch) movies there before.

    Speaker 3: I'm Eric. The Star Cinema is my favorite. One of the main reasons {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) that it has the funniest movies and the seats are very comfortable. It's open every day and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you go there on Monday and Wednesday morning, you will find the tickets are half price. It also provides（提供）free water and its big hall can hold (容纳) two hundred people at a time. Of course, the screens are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) big. So I will invite my friends to see {#blank#}10{#/blank#} film there on my birthday.

    Bill, Lisa and Peter are classmates. They're all 13 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (year) old. Bill likes music. He can play {#blank#}2{#/blank#} guitar, but he can't play the violin. He thinks it's difficult {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (play) the violin. Lisa likes music, too. She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sing) English songs very well, but she can't sing Chinese songs. Peter likes sports. He can play basketball well. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he can't play soccer. He says soccer is boring.

    People from other countries will find many different surprising things in Britain. Greek: A man from Greece sees a special way of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (drive) in Britain, People drive on the left in the British street, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the British people never feel surprised. The Greek man said, "I've been in Britain {#blank#}3{#/blank#} nearly a month now. But at first, I couldn't always remember to drive on the left. Every time, my friend{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (remind) me. "Japanese: Japanese people can't understand {#blank#}5{#/blank#} British people keep their shoes on at home. In Japan, people walk in the room without shoes. If {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (visit) keep their shoes on in the room in Japan, the Japanese people think they are very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (polite). Spanish: The Spanish people mind the way that the British people greet each other. They themselves seem {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) afraid of touching. When they meet, they just smile or nod but never kiss or hug in Spain. But the British people think kissing is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} usual greeting when they meet! There is an old {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (say), "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." When we go to a foreign country, we should follow the etiquette(礼节) of the country.

    The first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}made communication easier.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the telephones were only fixed in post offices at that time. People had to go there to make calls.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(late), a cellphone was developed in 1973 in America. It was one of the most{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(use) inventions. People can use cellphones to communicate with others much{#blank#}5{#/blank#}easily. They can take them anywhere to make private calls, even vision calls. Cellphones have many other functions, such as{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(send) messages, taking photos and reading online.

    The first TV set was invented by an English{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(science), John Logie Baird, in 1925. The invention helped people watch films at home instead{#blank#}8{#/blank#}going to the cinema as before. At first, TV sets broadcast black white pictures and they were heavy and thick. Then, digital TV sets came into being. They're light and thin. Many TV programmes are available{#blank#}9{#/blank#}any time, People can use the IPTV {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(record) and replay programmes now.
