Ten Chinese engineers were driving down a road to a National Forest Park. They were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sudden) amazed by what they saw. Three tall animals, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (cover) with long black hair, were crossing the road. On {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (see) the animals, the engineers immediately stopped and ran after them. However, when they saw {#blank#}4{#/blank#} move through the forest with great speed and strength, they did not dare to follow any {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (far).

    The men did not take any photographs but scientists were delighted by the{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (discover), because the engineers are all well educated people and scientists feel they can rely {#blank#}7{#/blank#}what they described.

    Scientists returned to the forest, collected some hair and measured footprints, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} are about 20 inches. They appear to be the animals' feet! Chinese scientists have now set up a special group to exchange information and made a study of the forest, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the meantime, some people refuse to believe that this half-man, half-monkey {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (exist). They will not believe it until one of the animals has been caught.

Dear Sir or Madam,

    I have{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(recent) read about your organization in the local newspaper. In my opinion, you are doing a great job and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（give）a great opportunity to people with a desire to help people living in absolute poverty.

    I have just graduated from the Pedagogical University and got{#blank#}3{#/blank#}bachelor's degree（学士学位）. My aunt left me fifteen thousand dollars in her will(遗嘱) and in memory {#blank#}4{#/blank#}her I have decided to share my knowledge and volunteer to teach English to people{#blank#}5{#/blank#}can't afford it.

    Moreover I also speak French well and I once{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(teach) both English and French in school.

    It{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(mention) in the article of your newspaper that the work of Cultural Expeditions covers countries in Africa. If it is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(possibility) I would like to work in Nigeria for one year from September 15th.

    I am sending my CV(个人简历) where you can find all the information about my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(educate) and references.

    If you have any{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(question) you can get in touch with me by email or phone number written in my CV.

    I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Mary

    If {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (give) the choice, a great many people would change at least one aspect of their appearance. They would request a doctor to give them a straighter nose, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (big) lips, and so on.

    Firstly, one's appearance is{#blank#}3{#/blank#} or her parents' blessing. After breast enlargement surgery, many women look sexier than before. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, many of them are later diagnosed with mammary diseases. The more serious effect is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they risk {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) unable to breast-feed. Secondly, the advocating {#blank#}7{#/blank#}such a practice will mislead people in the{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (judge) of beauty. The concept of beauty is quite rich in its content. It should include many virtues like honesty, diligence, and so on, which should form the real mainstream of our spiritual life. The practice and the debates about man-made beauty will confuse those who are to develop {#blank#}9{#/blank#} correct concept of beauty.

    Concerning the above possible {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (harm) the practice may bring about, I am strongly against it and advocate seeking true and natural beauty. Besides, people, especially women, should lay more attention on the cultivation of their inner hearts. The inner beauty outweighs the outside beauty in the long run.

    Recently, an Indian film “Hindi Medium^" has made {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hit! It told a story that a couple spared no effort {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) their daughter the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) education and finally she was accepted by the elite of Delhi. Actually, this phenomenon can also be seen in China.

    Today more and more parents adopt the idea of "personal quality education" and commit to encouraging their children to cultivate a variety of interests outside the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tradition) classroom activities, like playing the violin, robot programming and so on. But participating {#blank#}5{#/blank#}too many extracurricular activities does deprive the children of their playtime.

    It {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (point) out that more Chinese parents need to realize that the hand-holding mentality is overwhelming their children. They have to loosen their control, give the kids time of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they) own, and let them take the initiative. Today parents worry {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (endless) about preparing the kids for the real world, a battlefield where everyone must arm themselves for a fight. But there is no denying {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the best times in life are those {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (steal) moments we spend with others- an idle afternoon with a beloved companion, a cup of tea with an old friend, or a simple game of tag with classmates after school.

When people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(face) with health or nutrition questions, it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(increasing) common to go online and diagnose themselves. But the Internet is full of conflicting health warnings with no regulations to get rid of the wrong advice, some of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is extremely dangerous! Also, search engine's rank results from popularity rather than accuracy, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} solid facts can be tricky to find. It is worth {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(check) if the writer of an online piece is properly qualified as an expert. Anyone can call {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) a "diet expert" "nutritionist" and even a "doctor" — given it could refer to qualifications like a PhD. But remember, only officially {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (recognize) practicing doctors as well as dietitians have degrees in giving medical {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(suggest). So if you are unsure and still wondering {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the chocolate diet really does work or not, then it pays to make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} appointment with your dietitian or doctor. The truth is out there, and you just need to look in the right place.

    Chinese art is a visual art that is practiced in China or by Chinese artists. The Chinese art of overseas Chinese can also be viewed {#blank#}1{#/blank#}part of Chinese art, because it is based on Chinese culture.

    Early" stone age art" dates back to 10,000 BC, mostly {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(consist) of simple pottery and sculptures. After that, Chinese art, like Chinese history, is typically classified by dynasty, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}probably lasted several hundred years.

    Chinese art has the oldest continuous tradition in the world. Since the Renaissance, the decorative arts have been{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(extreme) important in Chinese art, especially in Chinese ceramics(陶器).

    Different forms of art have changed under the influence of great philosophers, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(religion) figures and even political figures. Early Chinese poetry {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(influence) by the Book of Songs, and the Chinese poet and statesman Qu Yuan.

    Chinese painting became a highly {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(appreciate) art, including a wide variety of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(style) such as Ming Dynasty painting. Early Chinese music was based on percussion (打击乐器), which later gave way to stringed instruments. In the Han dynasty paper cutting became {#blank#}9{#/blank#}new art form after the invention of paper. Chinese opera would also be introduced and branched regionally in addition to other {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(perform) formats such as variety shows.
