As Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face”, and up to now nobody {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars. He made people laugh at a time {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they felt depressed, so they could feel more content {#blank#}3{#/blank#}their lives.

    Charlie was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing that Charlie {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance. Such training was common in acting families at this time,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(especial) when the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately his father died, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(leave) the family even worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(look) after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the most popular child{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(actor) in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watching him－his subtle acting made everything entertaining.

    With time{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(go) by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known throughout {#blank#}10{#/blank#}world.

    Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said it was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready.

    Since it was the first time we {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) there, we were pretty excited. After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) reservation(预定) six months earlier, but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tell) that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week, but for the week after. I didn't understand {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this would happen and my credit card had already been charged for the reservation. What made things even worse was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to do, the manager came out. She was very helpful. She apologized for the mistake and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}surprised me and my brother that she should give us a spare VIP room on the top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren't charged extra.

    The next day, my brother and I went to the beach {#blank#}9{#/blank#} some people were playing volleyball. We got a little sunburnt, but the day had been so {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relax) that we didn't mind.

With more than 2,000 colored sculptures and 45, 000 square meters of murals, Mogao Grottoes continue{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(attract) people throughout the world. Recently, the Dunhuang Academy and Tencent {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(team) up to launch a series of cartoons about the grottoes to help people better understand the cultural relics.

The cartoons adapted from the murals stories consist{#blank#}3{#/blank#} five parts, each running less than five minutes. Visitors can watch them on{#blank#}4{#/blank#} mini-program on the social media platform WeChat. With this{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (create) idea, Dunhuang culture is not {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(complete) mysterious any more. In addition to the popular cartoon series, some other cultural productions {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(list) in the Yunyou Dunhuang program also include a VR cave exploration and an interactive game of coloring murals.

These {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(activity) will let more common people, especially young people, get involved in the interaction and development of the traditional culture, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}will be given sustainable vitality. Dunhuang will always offer great {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(please) to people around the world.
