Mohandas Gandhi is called the national father of India.That's because he fought for India to get freedom in a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(peace) way.

    He {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(educated) in law at University College London in 1891. After graduation, he became a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(law). Two years later,he went to South Africa{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he worked for an Indian company and offered some guidance to the company for its legal problems.While in South Africa, he found himself treated{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fair).

    During the twenty years in South Africa, Gandhi was sentenced{#blank#}6{#/blank#}prison for many times. In 1896, after he was attacked by white South Africans, Gandhi began to teach the Indians a way of non-cooperation with the South African government.

    In the following years Gandhi became a leader in many fights. He played{#blank#}7{#/blank#}active part in starting his movement of non-violence against Great Britain.In order to get economic independence, all of the Indians refused{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(buy) British goods.It was Gandhi{#blank#}9{#/blank#}helped the Indians to develop native Indian industries. He devoted himself to{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fight ) for equal rights for Indians.

    The world-known Silk Road across the Eurasian Continent is a friendship bridge{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (link) the Europe and Asian people. It is one of the most important theme tourist routes in the world and the most{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(value) tourist product in China. From the time Zhang Qian{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(open) up the world-famous Silk Road during the Han Dynasty, until the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, it enjoyed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} history of about 1,600 years.

    Silk Road with{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(it) 2,000 years history has witnessed the historical changes and the progress of cultures {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(exchange) between China and the Western countries. The section in China, many ethnic cultures{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (include), is also as a jade belt. The peoples of these ethnic groups such as Mongolians, Huis, Uygurs, Hazaks have maintained their unique traditions and cultures, living habits and religious beliefs{#blank#}8{#/blank#} are from the soul of the Silk Road and attract many tourists to visit. In fact{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the Silk Road in the northwest of China, there are another two trade roads in the southwest of China and by sea, which also contribute{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (great) to the development of the world. They are called the “Southern Silk Road” and the “Silk Road on the Sea”.

    Just up the road from my home is a field，with two horses in it. From a distance，each horse looks like any other horse. But if you get a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(close)look, you will notice one of them is blind. Instead of abandoning him, his owner has made him a safe and comfortable barn to live in. And if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (come) from{#blank#}3{#/blank#} smaller horse. Attached to{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(it) halter is a small, copper-colored bell assisting the blind friend to follow him.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you watch them，you'll find the horse with the bell always checking on the blind one，and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the other one is，{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(trust ) he will not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lead) astray (歧路). When the horse with the bell returns to the barn each evening，he will stop {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(frequent) to look back，making sure that the other isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

    Life does not throw us away just because we are not perfect {#blank#}10{#/blank#}because we have problems or challenges. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of our acquaintances；at other times we are the guide horse，who helps others to find their way.

    In northeastern Liaoning Province, winter can be very cold. For months, almost nothing grows on these frozen areas, except for one {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (surprise) product—grapes, which make something special, ice wine. Ice wine {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (make) from frozen grapes. The freezing process gives the wine a sweet flavor. It's so much {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (strong). It tastes like a raisin (葡萄干).

    Here, conditions for making ice wine are so perfect {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a third of the world's ice wine is now produced here. Strict rules mean that the temperature must be at least -8℃ for hours. While they wait, the grapes could go bad. So, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (prevent) this from happening, they need to be picked as soon as the conditions {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) right.

    In the early morning, the villagers are all {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (die) to help. The grapes planted here are called Vidal. As soon as the grapes are picked, they are transported to the wine company—the largest {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (produce) in China. Two years later, the wine is ready to be in the bottles, each of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} contains the juice of a 2.5 kilograms of grapes. These bottles will be{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the dinner table across China and even the world.

    The story goes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} two friends are walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} argument, and one friend beats the other one in the face.

    The one is hurt, but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} saying anything, he writes in the sand: "Today my best friend beats me in the face."

    They keep on walking {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they find an oasis (绿洲) and they decide to take a bath. The one who{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (beat) gets stuck in the mire (泥潭) and starts to sink, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fortune) the friend saves him.

    After he recovers from the near {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (drown), he writes on a stone: "Today my best friend saves my life."

    His friend asks him, "When I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now you write on a stone. Why?"

    He {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(reply): "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, the winds of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (forgive) can rub it away. But when someone does something good to us, we must carve {#blank#}10{#/blank#} on a stone, therefore, no wind can ever erase it."

Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to engrave your benefits on the stone.

    The United Kingdom consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Wales was linked {#blank#}1{#/blank#} England in the 13th century. In the 17th century England and Wales were joined to Scotland, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (form) Great Britain.

    They were united in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} peaceful way. The southern part of Ireland was unwilling to join the English government and broke away to found its own government.

    England is the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (large) of the four countries and for convenience it is divided {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (rough) into three zones: the South of England, the Midlands and the North. Most of the population lives in the south, but most of the industrial cities {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (locate) in the Midlands and the North. It is a pity that the industrial cities which were constructed in the nineteenth century do not attract {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (visit).

    London is the capital city with great historical treasures, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is the centre of national government and its administration. It has the oldest port, building and castle {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (build) by the invaders. Without the historical evidence, we {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (will) not be able to learn more about the history and culture of the UK.
