As is known, China is a great country with a time-honored history and profound culture. While {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mention)Chinese culture, Chinese tea culture cannot be missed. It is the culture of making tea and drinking tea in China, which is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (difference) from that of Europe, Britain, and Japan.

    In China, drinking tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#}．(refer)as tasting tea, which not only means distinguishing the quality of tea, but also enjoying the pleasure of falling into the dream about life while drinking tea. A short retreat from a much busier life, make a cup of tea{#blank#}4{#/blank#}．taste it in a quiet place on your own, not only relieving tiredness but also refreshing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (you) soul heartily.

    China is a country with a time-honored civilization,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}is quite particular about ceremony and etiquette(礼节). When guests pay a visit, etiquette of making tea for guests is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(basic)required. When making tea, proper blending of tea{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (leaf)is quite necessary, so that favorable flavor would be created. When drinking tea with guests, pay attentions to the tea left in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} cup of guests and it should be refilled when the cup is half-full. If   {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (accompany)with tea dessert, candies and dishes, drinking tea would be more tasteful and joyful.

    We usually rely on Hollywood{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hero) to show up on our screens and defeat the bad guys. Yet Wolf Warrior II has proven that a Chinese moviemaker can{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(entertainment) audiences just as well.

    The man in question is Leng Feng,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (play) by Wu Jing, the film's writer and director. Leng is a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(fear) former special forces soldier of the People's Liberation Army. During a military rebellion in{#blank#}5{#/blank#}African country, Leng almost single-handedly helps Chinese workers and African locals escape the war-torn nation.

    In both acting and technical terms, the film is similar{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a Hollywood blockbuster. It features quality action scenes and stunts（特技）,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (include) gun fights, car chases and an underwater fight.

    Wolf Warrior II took a record-breaking 3.4 billion yuan in the first 13 days since its release on July （3） But the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fight) scenes alone don't explain the movie's{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(succeed)--it's also the patriotism（爱国主义）and spirit of the film projects {#blank#}10{#/blank#} have deeply impressed Chinese audiences.

    The word Nushu literally means “women's writing” in Chinese: As the name suggests, Nushu is created and specially used by women.

    Often {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（call） “the world's only surviving characters for women”, these slim words were developed from standard written Chinese. In the old days, Nushu {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（teach）by elderly women to girls at home because female children weren't allowed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（attend）formal school. During gatherings in villages, women used the characters to .write poems or song lyrics to express their emotions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hidden from men. The words were full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at that time.

    Ji Xianlin once said that Nushu is a feminist（女权主义者）symbol. “It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} unique writing system created by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（talent）women who were deprived（剥夺）of the right to education,” he wrote in an article. “It has significance in various {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（field）and represents Chinese people's strong spirit.”

    Nushu was made as a national cultural heritage in 2006. However, it is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（wide）used in daily life today. In fact, it is a dying language. Now linguists are taking action to prevent this incredible cultural heritage from{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（disappear）.

    My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn't far from Chinatown,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

    That was the first time that I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food.

    When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why{#blank#}3{#/blank#}has this special feature.

    Many years ago, china had{#blank#}4{#/blank#}energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren't any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

    In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables{#blank#}7{#/blank#}small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fast) and they saved more fuel. The food{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor and it's this flavor{#blank#}10{#/blank#}attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

Every region in the world is easy to identify by the kind of clothing traditionally worn there. Clothing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is traditionally worn in Germany is unique too. The clothes that men and women wear traditionally tell us a lot about the country {#blank#}2{#/blank#}its culture.

To actually understand the German clothing of the years that have gone by, it is important {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (understand) the concept of clothing. It allows people to know certain things about another person. These details include the marital status, the place of origin, and the trade. According to these details, the clothing patterns changed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (slight). And as time goes by, these clothing patterns have become more complete, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (result) in common designs.

There are German pants called lederhosens. The pants are made of leather. The pants are also worn by young boys. Lederhosens worn in the Bavarian region have {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feature) such as suspenders (吊裤带)and front flaps? and these are quickly adopted by other countries. These pants {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(wear) with shirts and sweaters made of linen (亚麻布)or wool. Other clothes teamed with the pants are wool stockings and country shoes.

Today there {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) several clubs and societies that are devoted to the preservation of traditional German clothes. These societies are working towards reviving the clothing traditions so that more people choose to wear them {#blank#}9{#/blank#}occasions like weddings, festivals, etc. They think it is a patriotic (爱国的)sign to show {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) pride in motherlands.
