We're particularly proud of the recent project. We paid{#blank#}5{#/blank#}visit to the local people's home,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}we sang songs and played games with the elderly. After this visit, we made a decision{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(help) improve the quality of their lives. Up to now,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (probable) over twenty volunteers{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(join) us. Everyone finds the experience{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(offer) by our local Community Youth Club rich and rewarding.

    We use flowers as messengers, to say something we might have trouble saying {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (direct) by ourselves. Over time flowers have come to symbolize the most powerful human {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (experience): beauty, love, hope, and rebirth. Sweet flowers alone can say what one fears expressing. We've listed some of the most famous flowers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} have a special significance.

    In Mao Zedong's poem Ode to Plum Blossom（《咏梅》）, the plum blossom was used {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (praise) great soldiers who sacrificed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) lives for a better life for Chinese people.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} great Chinese poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty once compared Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face {#blank#}7{#/blank#} blooming peonies（牡丹）. Flowering in May, peonie's large petals and strong colors are linked to prosperity and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rich) in traditional Chinese culture.

    The orchid（兰花）is well known for its delicate smell. Beautiful articles and poems {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (call) “lanzhang” by Chinese people in ancient times.

    Roses, of course, have the most colorful meaning among all the flowers. Red roses, to this day, mean “I love you.” A red rose, rather than yellow roses, acts as the traditional romantic gift {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) to your love on Valentine's Day. Sending yellow roses can be risky, as they represent either friendship or envy.

    Music is in the corners of everyday life. It is said to be beneficial to us both {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(physical) and mentally.

    There are many ways to make music. For example, if you blow into bamboos or shells, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(permit) air to come in, they can produce pleasant music. A recent discovery suggests that music was played much earlier than we think. In 1995, deep in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} cave in Slovenia {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was occupied 45,000 years ago by Neanderthals, a leg bone of a bear with four finger holes was found. The discovery suggested that flutes（笛子）had come into {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (exist) at that time. Later, many other {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tradition) musical instruments like drums were dug out from underground. Ancient people even {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(seek) a way to make music out of a bow that {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(intend) for hunting, so we have to admit that they did have a great gift {#blank#}9{#/blank#} music. But if exactly dated, the Neanderthal flute is by far the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(early) known example of music.

    Now music can be found in every known culture, and even the most distant groups have a certain form of music.

    Students at a primary school in Hangzhou had their first class{#blank#}1{#/blank#}March 1st on movable type. This is{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ancient Chinese printing system.

    The West Lake Primary School in Zhejiang Province introduced the course at the beginning of this new term. So far, the school{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(invite) an expert in Chinese characters culture to the campus,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}major responsibility is to teach students how to use the ancient printing technology. Students attend lectures on the history of movable type along with {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(interest) classes on typesetting and printing. They then print their own document, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(apply) the knowledge they've learned. One student printed her{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(new) written essay "Whether the traditional red envelopes kids receive belong to them or their parents?"{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(know) as one of the four great inventions of ancient China, movable type printing {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(invent) by Bi Sheng in the 1040s during the Song  Dynasty, and it is the world's first system of movable type printing.

    The school said the course is aimed at improving the students' awareness of Chinese characters and their {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(appreciate) of Chinese culture.
