The Abbey Road pedestrian crossing in Northern London is one of the world's most famous {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is on the cover of Beatles album. Now, the British government {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(put) it on the list of national heritage sites.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (normal), only buildings and other architectural sites get the award. It is the first time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a section of street became part of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (Britain) National Heritage. The crossing is near the Abbey Road studios {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the Beatles made most of their records. Today it can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(see) around the world on a special webcam(网络摄像头). The studio building {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it)became listed by British Heritage last February. The photographer of the picture said he only had 10 minutes {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(take) it. It became one of the most famous album covers of all times. The Abbey Road album was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}last one the Beatles completed before they broke up.

    Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii. I hate to go to the beaches on {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sun) weekends and see rubbish bags{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(lie) on the sand, cigarette butts(烟头）{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bury) in the sand, and soda cans floating in the ocean.

    One thing that really annoys me is that I see tourists who visit Hawaii leave their rubbish on the beaches. I was always taught after drinking soda to throw the can into the place {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it should stay at --the trash can. Another thing that annoys me is that some people walk right by rubbish {#blank#}5{#/blank#}pretend that it's not there.

    The dogs or the fish are not to blame for it. It's our fault and we must blame {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(we).Everyone has to do his or her part{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (solve) this problem. It can't be difficult to do the job. There are a lot of things that we can do. First of all, we can help pick {#blank#}8{#/blank#}rubbish along the beaches. We could also form organizations that help clean up our beaches, More{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(important),we need to start now before the beaches{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(damage) beyond repair.

    They had been on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (we)planets for millions of years, but 2018 was the year several species {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (official)died off forever. Three bird species went extinct this year, two of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}are songbirds from northeastern Brazil. A {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (disturb)trend is that mainland species are starting to go extinct, rather than island species.

    The species {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wipe)out in the wild resulted from many factors such as the creation of dam and trapping {#blank#}6{#/blank#} trade. Beyond birds, other animals such as the vaquita and the northern white rhino {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be)near the end. We are currently experiencing the worst species die—offs since the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lose)of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

    Although extinction is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (nature)phenomenon, it occurs at a rate of about one to five species per year. Scientists estimate we're now losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the rate. In the past 500 years, about 1,000 species {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (go)extinct.

    When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children's birthday, but their children seem to be very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (forget). They seldom do something in return.

    Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) him at the station. On arriving home, much {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.

    Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(worry), but things may not turn out as badly as{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (expect). We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, "Life is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}best classroom one can never get."

Are you a tea drinker? If so, you're not alone. Every day around the world, millions of cups of this popular brew {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(drink), and it's been that way for thousands of years.

The oldest discovered tea is from the Han Dynasty, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(date) from 206 BC to 220 AD. But it's thought that the tea trend really took off during the Tang Dynasty in the 8th Century, when it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(become) China's national drink.

Much of the early growing of tea in China was by small farms and plantations, many of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}were tended by Buddhist monks, on the land high on the mountain tops. So the Chinese have always held the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(believe) that famous teas come from high in the mountains, and indeed, many of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fine) and best-known teas have often come from these mountain plantations

Today, China produces about 20% of the world tea exports. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}great variety of teas are grown and produced in 16 different regions of China. There's said {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) over 8, 000 different classifications, most of which are for green tea alone, with a few black and oolong teas {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(include).

Many of China's finest teas are still made by hand, and the skills needed for their manufacture have been passed down {#blank#}10{#/blank#}generations, from one to the other.
