Last year, two days before Christmas, my friends called, telling me their kitchen caught fire, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) everything in it. I drove to their house, taking all the food I had. They were so happy to see me, but felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (embarrass) having nothing to give me in return.

    I went home, very upset. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (actual), I was also in a hard place financially and unable to do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much) for them. I called a friend of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( I ) about this, who responded, “These people mean a lot to you and I want to help them.” Since he had never met them, he requested me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to the grocery store, all on him. At the check-out, I noticed him lacking money, so that I had to have some items taken back.

    We were walking away {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I heard a voice behind me asking the clerk, “How much are those things? I decide to pay for them.” I turned around {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (thank) the kind man and told him everything. He explained that he understood that as he had lost his job the year before but now was working again. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} tears in our eyes, all of us went away. It was such {#blank#}10{#/blank#} wonderful feeling to see folks step up when someone needed help, even a total stranger.

    People visit other countries for {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(variety) reasons. Some travel on business;{#blank#}2{#/blank#} travel to interesting places {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are only found in other countries, such as the Taj Mahal in India, the temples of Thailand, or the Pyramids at Giza.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(where) you go, and for whatever reason, it is important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While the majority of people you'll meet when traveling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(danger), theft being the most common. Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} is important to prepare for your trip {#blank#}7{#/blank#} advance, and to take precaution (警惕) while you {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(travel).

    As you prepare your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don't want to get to your destination only {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(find) you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travel, you will be able to get treatment. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} international driver's license.

    A US teenager criticized（批评）on social media for wearing a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tradition) Chinese dress to her high school prom（毕业舞会）defended her decision and has won support from netizens（网民）in China.

    Keziah Daum, 18, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} high school senior in Utah, faced a strong reaction from thousands online, some of whom accused her of “cultural appropriation（文化挪用）” after she posted four prom pictures on Twitter on April 22 that featured her wearing a qipao, a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (woman). “I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (praise) by the many people from China who have both reached out to me and have posted to social media their viewpoints. I thank them {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the moral support regarding my decision {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (wear) a qipao,” Daum told China Daily in an email on Tuesday. “I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sincere) thank the outpouring of support I have received from the people of China.” Daum stood by her choice to wear the dress, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} was red and orange with gold-and-black embroidery（刺绣）. She said on Twitter that she will not take down the original post. “The dress {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (catch) my eye at first because of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (it) beauty,” she said. “I was also so happy to find a dress with a modest neckline. It is very hard to find dresses in America for prom which cover a women's neckline.”
