Some years ago,writing in my diary used to be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}usual activity. I would return from school and spend half an hour {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(record)the day's events, feelings, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(impress)in my little blue diary. I did not really need {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(express) my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(see) my experiences forever recorded on paper, After all, isn't accumulating(积累）memories a way of preserving the past?

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey{#blank#}7{#/blank#} foot in a great valley{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(equip) with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(pride) to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(walk)out of my tent, diary in hand.

    You will meet many people in school, in college and at work. They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes. To them, life is a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(compete)—they have to do{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good)than their peer(同龄人)to be happy.

Here's a secret: life isn't a match. It's a journey. If you spend it always {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(try) to impress others, you're wasting your life. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of happiness of continual improvement, and filled{#blank#}4{#/blank#}love.

    Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even{#blank#}5{#/blank#} better-paying job. None of them matters, and none of them will make you happier. You'll acquire these{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(thing) and then only want more. Instead, learn to be{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(satisfy) with having enough and then use the time {#blank#}8{#/blank#}would have been wasted to try to earn money to buy those things.

    Find your passion, and go after it{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(constant). Don't work for only paying the bills. Life is too short {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(waste) on a job you hate.

    Lanzhou beef noodle is one of China's most representative flour-made foods while pasta (意大利面食) is one famous Western fancy food. An event, “When Lanzhou beef noodle meets pasta, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (connect) city food cultures, was held at the Beijing Ritz-Carlton Hotel on October 11, 2017 to show the interaction.

    Lanzhou beef noodle has a history of 102 years and is known for its {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (taste) beef, soup and noodle. Lanzhou is also qualified as {#blank#}3{#/blank#}hometown of Chinese beef noodle. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}one major city along the ancient Silk Road, Lanzhou has witnessed the efforts of our ancestors and their achievement of developing the Silk Road, according to Zhang Hui, deputy director with the Publicity department of the CPC Committee of Lanzhou.

    Lanzhou's cooking culture {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (develop)its own time-honored characteristics over the years. The event will make Lanzhou beef noodle smelled not only across Lanzhou, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}across the world through the Belt and Road Initiative thanks to the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (participate)of the two countries' noodle master. It will also improve cultural exchange, Zhang added. Lanzhou people would like to work with friends at home and abroad {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (promote) the development of cooking and we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sincere)hope more cultural exchanges of this kind {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hold) in Italy and Lanzhou in the future.

    The way we tell stories has naturally changed since Aristotle defined the rules of tragedy about 2,500 years ago. According to him, the role of storytelling is to imitate life and make us feel emotions. And that's exactly what storytelling as we know it has done very well since then. But there is an aspect of life {#blank#}1{#/blank#} storytelling could never really reproduce. It is the notion of choices.

    Choices are a very important part of our lives. We as individuals {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (define) by the choices we make. As an interactive writer, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fascinate) with the idea of recreating this notion of choices in fiction, I have tried to put the audience in the shoes of the main characters. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (explore) a way to achieve this is what I did in the past 20 years of my life.

    So do you have an idea of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my work is about as an interactive writer? Where a writer needs to deal with time and space, as an interactive writer, I need to deal with time, space and possibilities. I need to think about all the possibilities {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the characters could encounter different people and different things in a given scene and try to imagine everything that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} happen.

    The interactive writer's experience is very unique, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it is the result of the cooperation between a writer creating this narrative landscape and the player making his own decisions, telling his own story and becoming the cowriter but also the coactor and the codirector of the story. Interactive storytelling is a revolution in the way we tell stories.
