    In China, there are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(variety) means of transport for day-to-day living: subways, buses, cars, and even bikes… but taxis rank high on the list.

    A 14-year-old Chinese boy overcame two of humankind's most dreaded fears—getting stuck in an elevator and getting homework {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) in a single night, owing to his calm-witted character.

    Sun Yixiao was on his way up on Tuesday evening after school {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the lift suddenly came to a stop. A moment of panic followed before the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(teenage) could find a way out.

    After exhausting all his options without knowing how long {#blank#}7{#/blank#}would take before someone found him, he took out his textbooks and started to do his homework {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient).
