In China, a site that amazed me was one {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (provide) by nature—the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, the mother river of the country.

    The Yellow River was a main source of transportation in the past. Many ports and bridges were built and destroyed by the river's strong current(水流), and it was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (challenge) for the locals back then to build a bridge {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was strong enough to withstand(承受) the current of the Yellow River.

    About 1,500 years ago, the locals of Puzhou, which is now Yongji,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) several iron oxen anchors, each {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (weigh) more than seventy metric tons to hold a floating bridge across the Yellow River. It was amazing to see these{#blank#}6{#/blank#} person and I was astonished by the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wise) and workmanship of people back then.

    The hotels that {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (arrange) for us to stay in were among the best in each city we visited, which sums up {#blank#}9{#/blank#} China was shown to me, with sights both beautiful and amazing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} kind and helpful people.

    Have you fond that much of your online communication has been replaced by emojis （表情符号）? Has "Happy Birthday" become a cake {#blank#}1{#/blank#}lighted candles? Since they were invented in the 1990s in Japan, emojis, meaning “picture characters", {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(occupy) the world. According to a UK-based mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(use) in text messages are sent around the world every day through smart phones.

    That's why for the first time Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year is emoji. Emojis are regarded as a new kind of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(express). Behind the popularity of emojis is the rise of young people {#blank#}5{#/blank#}welcome new technology and new {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (invention). So the reason why young people as well as others love to emoji is that they show meaning {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beautiful). When young people are asked what makes the generation unique,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} put “technology use “ first.

    Now emojis are in much {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wide) use than written words. As {#blank#}10{#/blank#}result, people began to doubt whether it has made up a too large part in our online communication.

    During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (dislike) being questioned. They may be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (willing) to talk about their work in school. This is a normal {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (develop) at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (become) independent. They try to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (ask) out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.

    Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their schoolwork and future plan {#blank#}7{#/blank#} should not push them to talk if they don't want to. As they try to be adult, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (teenager) may experiment with drugs, alcohol or smoking, so parents should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (careful) watch for any sign of unusual behavior {#blank#}10{#/blank#} may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

    Good morning, everyone. This is Chris at the school radio station.

    As we all know, psychological health is as important as physical health. However, it's quite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (worry) that many of us are suffering from poor psychological health. We've interviewed some psychology teachers at our school, and they've given us some advice on how {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (improve) psychological health.

    Firstly, you can share your concerns with people you trust, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} support and care may help you get {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the difficulties. Besides, learn to view trouble {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wise) as everyone meets with difficulties now and then. Remind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (you) that only those who are confident and determined can go far and be more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (prepare). Lastly, when {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (feel) sad for a long time, you'd better go to the mental guide room without {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hesitate), where practical advice will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (offer) to help ease your pressure.

    The world is just what you think it is. Learn to control your own world!

    Thank you for listening.

    The term "extreme sports", which we might have seen on a magazine or a website, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) becoming more and more common as the concept of extreme sports gains {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (popular). But what are extreme sports on earth?

    During the 1970s and 1980s, the term was used for sports with high risks {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (involve). Today, however, the sports also include activities that give a feeling of adventure without{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(necessary) putting a participant's life in danger. For every extreme sport, there is professional equipment that has been developed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (protect) your body, improve your performance and give you{#blank#}6{#/blank#} advantage in the competition.

    Extreme sports cover a wide range. Some {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (develop) from familiar activities so far, like mountain biking, climbing and drag race. Some may not be well known. For instance, bouldering is a kind of rock climbing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} no rope is used. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} usually takes place in an area with large rocks or in climbing center.

    Nowadays, such sports have become more popular {#blank#}10{#/blank#} young people all over the world than ever before.

    The other day my father drove me to school as usual. When we arrived it began to rain {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(heavy) but we only had one raincoat. My father insisted I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wear) it. Even though I would rather my father {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(put) it on, I didn't insist because I knew it would put him in a bad temper. Anyway, I did my best to use my raincoat to prevent him {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(get) wet. I was so moved by his sacrifice that I cried.

    The rain reminded me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} how much my father loved me. When I was in primary school, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(perform) poorly in tests but my father always encouraged me. Sometimes I want to join clubs or go on school trips. He always supports me since he thinks such activities are beneficial to me, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I can {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(broad) my horizons.

    Though I love my father, I am at {#blank#}9{#/blank#} loss how to show it. Many students have the same problem. We love and care for our parents, but we don't know {#blank#}10{#/blank#}we can do to help them.
