Zoos are places {#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals are kept. There are some reasons {#blank#}2{#/blank#} keeping animals in zoos.

    Firstly, zoos are entertaining and interesting places of children. Most children like to see animals in zoos. Zoos also offer people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) in big cities a chance of getting close to nature.

    Secondly, it is easier for scientists to research animals' lives when they are kept in zoos than they are in forests. Scientists can study animals' {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (relate), their life cycles, or their habits to learn how to breed animals, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} can reduce animal {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (extinct).

    Furthermore, the risk of dying out of some {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (endanger) animals is reduced because they are kept in safety.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, zoos also cause some problems for animals, such as restrictions on their freedom. They also lose their “wild” character. For example, tigers might lose their {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hunt) skills. Besides, zoos cost a lot of money for land, animals' food and labors. This may charge {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (expense) for people who want to visit zoos.

    A young man wanted to find a job after{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(finish) school. One day he came to a big company for it. There were six young people that day{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the Company only wanted one. The interview was very easy. It was only a five{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(minute) short talk. Then the six young People all went home.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the morning of the third day, the young man got a text message. It{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(say). We are sorry to tell you that you cannot work in our company."

    The young man felt very sad, but he answered{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(polite)"Thank you all the same."{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(late)that afternoon, the young man got another text message saying "We are glad{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(tell)you that you can be one of us!”

    The young man didn't know why. People in the company told him, "That's because of{#blank#}9{#/blank#} same message in the morning. Only you said “Thank you". That was the real test, and only you gave the right answer."

    When you feel{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(disappoint), do not forget to say "thank you" to the one who disappoints you.

    The Chinese Culture Center in Paris, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(locate) in downtown areas opposite the celebrated historic sites of Grand Palais and Petit Palais across the Seine River, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sit) next to a large number of grand handsome and elegant classical architectures that have witnessed the evolution of Paris at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (vary) historical stages. It conforms to(符合) the status of China, a great power with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lasting civilization of several thousand years in the East, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (set) the Chinese Cultural Center in this exact place.

    The amazing progress in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (smooth) selecting the site for the Chinese Culture Center and putting it into {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (operate) in downtown Paris in such a short period was due to high priority of the Chinese government and constructive cooperation of the French party. Wu Jianmin, Chinese ambassador to France,  said {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excitement, "We have our own cultural center in Paris at last, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}we have eventually realized the long cherished wish of my predecessor(前任) in the Chinese embassy." Hou Xianghua, the first director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Paris, said the center will stick to its "non-governmental" nature and greet people from all {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (walk) of life, in addition to serving the mainstream society.

    My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong{#blank#}1{#/blank#}August 15, 2015. He had dreamed about {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(visit) it since his boyhood and it was the first time that he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) there. The following was what he had seen.

    Arriving there, he was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(surprise) by its beautiful scenery and tall {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(building). As we all know, Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go), he saw many smiling faces. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easy-going and ready to help others. Much to his surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places. Although a great number of people {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be)waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such {#blank#}8{#/blank#} low voice as not to bother others.

    Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong. English is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Staying there for a week was a good experience for him, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}he would never forget.
