Bill Gates has said China is the best place for{#blank#}1{#/blank#}young to fulfill their ambitions to make the world a better place. In a lecture to Peking University students, he described the skepticism(怀疑论) in some developed countries about{#blank#}2{#/blank#} globalization works for ordinary people. He said the results of the US presidential election and the Brexit (英国脱欧) vote showed how any country may turn inward when{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(face) with difficult issues like immigration, security and global development.

    In a world suddenly short of experienced leaders, Gates praised China for shouldering{#blank#}4{#/blank#}great) responsibility for significant global issues like climate change and inclusive development. Gates told hundreds of students {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(attend) the lecture of his high hopes for China's youth, for they enter the work force at the time of China's rise{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a center of global progress and innovation(创新).

    "The world's eyes are on China{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (specific) on all of you. What an incredible thing is the belief {#blank#}8{#/blank#}you can make the world a better place. Now it is the best moment that you{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(have)," he said. "No matter what, if your ambition is to improve the world, this is the best time and the best place {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(struggle) for it."

    Living beside an active volcano (火山) means that small earthquakes are not unusual. Everybody here knows {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they feel like, and they come {#blank#}2{#/blank#} no surprise to the local people. For me, they're a little different, though.

    What do you do when there's an earthquake? Most people would try to leave the building. I live on {#blank#}3{#/blank#} third floor of a flat with several more stores above me—nobody wants {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (trap) under that after an earthquake. I guess, if an earthquake came, I would probably just panic rather than think about what I need to do, such as hiding somewhere or {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (run) out of the building.

    I had never felt an earthquake until last week. There was a small earthquake {#blank#}6{#/blank#} could hardly even be called an earthquake. I was not really {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (frighten). To feel the earth move like that was just strange. Of course, it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (last) only a few seconds. I have spoken to the local people since the event and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (luck), there were no injuries or damage {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) by it. But if it had been a real earthquake, I think I would have felt quite differently.

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has praised a group of middle school students for their efforts in satellite design. He said he was pleased with their curiosity and bravery in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (science) exploration. The president also wished the teachers and students in Bayi School {#blank#}2{#/blank#} happy new year.

    Xi made the praise in a letter {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) to the students in Beijing's Bayi School on Saturday. A small satellite designed and developed by them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (send) into space last Wednesday at Taiyuan Satellite Launch (发射) Center {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it was designed to operate in orbit (轨道) for 180 days.

    Three months ago, Xi returned to his high school, to visit a laboratory and talk to teachers and students {#blank#}6{#/blank#} were designing the small satellite. The president said he was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (extreme) glad to know that the satellite designed by the students would be launched and called on them to become {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (build) of the country. Xi warmly encouraged the students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (study) science and contribute to the development of China. He hoped that the students would keep hungry for knowledge and develop {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) national spirit.
