Yangshuo, China

                It was raining lightly when I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn't care. A few hours{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I'd been at home in Hong Kong, with {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it) choking smog. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.

              I'd skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River{#blank#}4{#/blank#}are pictured by artists in so many Chinese{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (painting). Instead, I'd headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it's only an hour away{#blank#}6{#/blank#}car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.

             Yangshuo{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) really beautiful. A study of travelers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (conduct) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says it{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (regular) arranges quick getaways here for people {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

    For many students, the most important{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (decide) they must make at school is choosing a career .But choosing the right career {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) not easy. So how do you find one that you will enjoy?

    Before you choose a career, think about your interests and your talents, and then think about jobs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} fit them. Ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing? What do I do well?

    Next, learn about your career choices. See if the library has books {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (describe)different kinds of work. Also, try out careers by talking part-time jobs.

    Then consider {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is important to you. Perhaps you like working face to face with people. If so, a job as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} computer programmer may not be the best choice. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you like getting a monthly salary, then starting your own business probably is not for you.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (final), remember that you can always change your mind. Most people change jobs several times during {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) working life. Your first job right after college probably will not be your career thirty years from now. Allow yourself to change if you are not {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (satisfy) with your chosen career.

    If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is Wikipedia. This online encyclopedia is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (write) by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they are not university professors.

    What is more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 253 languages. This fact makes it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the few websites (网站) on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( put on) Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles are in English. Wikipedia is also a place {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people can find the latest news.

    However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate and some important subjects are not included. This has led to arguments between the writers of the articles. The people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) Wikipedia say that the accuracy of the information is improving and that it is one of the top 20 visited websites on the Internet.

    So, if you are looking for some information, why not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (try) Wikipedia?

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was started by the medical community(医学界) as a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—--the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required to process the food that we eat, to recover{#blank#}3{#/blank#}injury and several other bodily functions. When fat and salt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something.

    As{#blank#}5{#/blank#}result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) full of fat and salt; by{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have) too much of both, and this is not good for your health.

    Before the day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the graduation ceremony was held, I took the graduation gifts into {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(consider). Early in the morning, I went to the department store {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(select) a gift for my teachers and classmates. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (choose) carefully, I decided to buy some fancy cards for them. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} modern means of communication were so popular that I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel) so sorry for the separation, I put {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sorrow and gratitude in every card. In my view, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is better than a card to express my current feeling. During the ceremony, we share our gifts and express our deep love. Separation is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} great sorrow to everyone. In the end, my classmates and I sang the song titled "Auld Lang Syne", which is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(suitable) song to say goodbye.
