    The earth, the planet on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we are living, is the third planet from the sun. It came from the shrinking (收缩) of a vast cloud of dust and gas in outer space. Many scientist believe that the earth, as well as the sun and the other planets in our solar system, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (form) at least five billion years ago. The earth is slightly flattened at the North and South Poles, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it would look like a perfect ball if you were far out in space.

    I'm not sure when I started to love qipaos. I just remember that when I saw Zhao Weiand other stars {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wear) qipaos in the TV series Romance in the Rain, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(impress). Although Chinese women are fond of wearing qipaos for special events, for example, red ones for weddings, I wear them more {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(frequent), not only for parties but also sometimes even in the office.

    I've collected some qipaos, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(buy) at a store in one of Beijing's historical neighborhoods. A Chinese friend of mine recently gave me one of her old qipaos, which almost reaches my ankles. The qipao fits well at the shoulders, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}it was simply too tight（紧的）at the waist.

    Many foreigners'{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(body) differ from those of the Chinese, which makes{#blank#}7{#/blank#} hard for some foreigners to take off qipaos. Because I am not too short, and pretty thin, I can often buy ready-made qipaos in China.

    In my native United States, non-Asians {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos because of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(culture)differences, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open-minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen {#blank#}10{#/blank#} an attitude of appreciation for Chinese culture.

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.
