In 2012, I had just become better from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer's conference in Orlando, Florida. My family suggested that a h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}might be just what the doctor orders, so off I went.

    I was rather t{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, arriving in the Sunshine State, but I managed to catch a taxi to my hotel and settle in. The next morning, I took another taxi to the shopping centre to buy a few gifts. Later I went to a café to have lunch, but all the tables were full of people. Then I heard a f{#blank#}3{#/blank#}voice saying, “You can s{#blank#}4{#/blank#}my table.”

I thankfully sat down with the old lady and we had a happy lunch together. As the m{#blank#}5{#/blank#}drew to a close, she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I hadn't hired(雇用) a car, and I hadn't realized how e{#blank#}6{#/blank#}taking taxis would be, after a while she said, “My dear, don't use any more taxis. I`m retired and it would be my pleasure to drive you wherever you wish.” I told her that I couldn't put her to that t{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, but she took no notice of my protests(反对). She asked me where I was staying and the next morning she was w{#blank#}8{#/blank#}at my apartment at the exact time to take me to Disney World. She spent some time with me before leaving me to explore(探索) alone. At the end of the day, she returned to take me back to where I stayed. I o{#blank#}9{#/blank#}her money but she refused to take any.

    I`ll never forget that wonderful lady who, through her kindness, f{#blank#}10{#/blank#}my short holiday in Florida with wonderful memories.

    Recently, a foreign student in China gave a very touching answer to the question: What should China be proud of? It was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wide) spread online.

      Emma is from Canada. She came to China four years ago. Now she is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}university student in Ningbo. The following is China in her eyes.

    "{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(find) a job in China can be really simple. There are more job{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (chance) here than in any other country in the world."

    "Its public security（安全）is great. I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(travel) to many countries so far, and I think China is really safe."

    "About 400 million Chinese are studying English. China will become the country{#blank#}6{#/blank#}has the greatest number of English speakers in non-English speaking countries." "The speed of Chinese trains is high. On my{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(three) visit to my friend in Beijing, I took a train there. From Ningbo{#blank#}8{#/blank#}Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometres for only seven hours."

    "There{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) many more things China should be proud of. I believe China must be much{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) than other countries."

    In recent years, learning Chinese {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) popular among people around the world. Last month, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (receive) an email from my cousin Jack in Canada. He said he was enthusiastic about Chinese, and asked me to find him some books {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (intend) for Chinese beginners. I was very pleased to do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a favor. So I went from one bookstore to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} hoping to find something suitable for him. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} selected a set of Chinese textbooks among a variety of similar ones. Then I went to a post office to have them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (deliver) by air without delay. Several days later, I received Jack's email, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (say) that he really appreciated the books I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (send). I'm very glad that Jack is beginning to learn Chinese just like many other foreigners abroad, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I know it may be an enjoyable challenge for him.
