I gain a lot of rewarding experiences from some social activities. Our local Community Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I have been a member for four years now and I've taken part in a lot of interesting projects,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have organized sports competitions and we have even made a video.

    But it isn't all just enjoyment, we have also started doing social work to help people in our neighborhood. We{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(organize) activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a special support group to help young people stop{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(smoke).

    We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the local old people's home. My class spent an afternoon at a home and everyone found the visit very rewarding. The old people there were{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(talk) and they told us their personal stories{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cheer) .

    During our visit, the home was filled with {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(laugh). But we realized that life wasn't always easy .Some of them were in poor health and were very

{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (happy).

    Many young people like me do not live with our grandparents and we have little contact with elderly people. As a result, many young people don't know{#blank#}9{#/blank#}

    they are like. After this visit, my friends and I decided that we should do{#blank#}10{#/blank#}to help improve the quality of their lives.

    Texting while walking is something that most of us are guilty of．We can't help {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(reply)to that message we just received．However，while it's fun to keep up to what's going on，we may actually put{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(we)in danger．

    A team of researchers from UK recently found people{#blank#}3{#/blank#}use their phones while on the move walk differently．During the research，a group of 21 volunteers{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ask)to walk around a street with obstacles(障碍物)such as a step.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}volunteers traveled the course a total of 12 times each，either writing or reading a message，making a call，or with no phone at all．It took the volunteers 118 percent {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(long)to complete the course while using a phone．They also paid attention to the travel path 51 percent more when they weren't using a phone．“Although there{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be)no accidents，we should still be aware{#blank#}8{#/blank#}what's going on around us，”according to Matthew Timmis，co—author of the study．The big risk is suddenly—appearing situations，like someone suddenly walking in front of you．You are not going to be able to respond to that{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(swift)enough，so you may injure yourself or get injured．In a word，these hidden{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (danger)of texting while walking should be recognized to avoid injuries．

    After Donald Trump became the 45th American president, a new video of his granddaughter Arabella {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) popular once again on the Internet. In this video, the little girl wore a qipao, a kind of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (tradition) Chinese dress. She stood in front of a table to recite ancient Chinese poems. These poems are familiar {#blank#}3{#/blank#} most Chinese people and they are often recited by Chinese kids. Arabella made the video to remember Chinese Monkey Year, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ended on January 27th, 2017.

    Arabella's family are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (interest) in Chinese culture. They can even make Chinese dumplings and sing Chinese songs. Arabella began to study Chinese {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she was 18 months old. Now she can speak Chinese {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fluent). Early in February, 2016, 4-year-old Arabella recited a Tang Dynasty poem in Chinese. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she) mother sent her video online and won lots of “likes” from all over the world.

    On Sonia Weibo, many users thought Arabella was a wonderful and surprising girl. “I'm glad {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (see) the little angel loves Chinese culture,” wrote a user called “orange”.

    “At least the video shows that Trump is serious about {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (educate) and never closes the door to foreign culture,” said another user named “stAU79”.

    I was staying in Destin for a few days with my family. One morning, I got up early{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(go) for a walk on the beach. As I was walking, I noticed at least a hundred or more empty beer cans which{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(leave) in one concentrated area in front of a hotel. I was{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fascinate) by the beach, woods and nature so I wanted to keep{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) clean. Naturally, I picked up a few to take to a nearby rubbish can. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}my way back to the hotel. I saw {#blank#}6{#/blank#}man walking down the beach with a rubbish bag picking up the cans. I helped him get the rest and walked back to my place, but I couldn't help {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (think) about that man and how we need more people like that in the world. It really gave me some {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(inspire).

    In the following days when I stayed in Destin, I always went for a walk with a rubbish bag. The rubbish bag was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(total) full by the time I got back to my hotel. I did not want to get any thanks but I hoped {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I did could inspire someone to do the same as well.

    When foreigners negotiate, or register in certain areas of China, they may be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(surprise) at Chinese's special fondness and preference for seals. To Chinese, seals are an art of deep cultural roots, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} combines the essence of both calligraphy(书法) and sculpture and inspires generations to study, to appreciate and to collect.

    It is believed that seals came out as early {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 8,000 years ago after our ancestors could make pottery wares(陶瓷)and had private property. They were assumed to make marks on {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they) own possessions to prevent them from being stolen. When the first dynasty {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(found),the king began to use seals to empower(授权)and to show lordly credits. Only the king's special seal was then called "Xi", {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(represent) the highest authority. The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, had his "Xi"{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(make) out of the invaluable and beautiful jade "Heshi Bi".

    Then the local governments also needed seals for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} same function. Meanwhile, private seals were carved in a variety of lucky {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(character)and vivid animal patterns.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(gradual). the sphragistics (印章学) came into being.
