Zhang Jianxing has been walking through the ancient forests of the Shennongjia National Nature Reserve for over two decades to find the wild man. He will not give up until he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (come) face-to-face with the creature. He began living in the mountain in 1994. after becoming{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fascinate) by the wild man. Armed with a camera, he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(constant) looks for clues of the creature's whereabouts, living off the land and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(sleep) in abandoned homes and empty eaves. To him, the wild man is a branch of science, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that he has been studying for a very long time. So far, he has collected enough evidence of the wild man's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (exist)—more than 100 hair samples and 3,000 photos of large footprints (脚印).He even came close to seeing it for himself no less than nineteen {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (time). However, most scientists regard it as nothing more than a legend {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there is a lack of concrete evidence. But Zhang Jianxing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (convince) that he will one day find the wild man himself and prove the scientists wrong. To him it's just {#blank#}10{#/blank#} matter of time.

    A proverb says, “Time is money”. But in my opinion, time is even {#blank#}1{#/blank#}precious than money. Why? Because when money{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) spent, we can earn {#blank#}3{#/blank#}back. However, when time{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(go), it will never return.

    It is known to all that the time we can use is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(limit). Therefore, we should make use{#blank#}6{#/blank#}our time more {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(full) to study hard so as to serve our country in{#blank#}8{#/blank#}future. But it is a pity that there are a lot of persons{#blank#}9{#/blank#}do not realize the value of time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking and playing.

    In a word, we should form a good habit of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(save) time. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

    Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or roofs. One person was killed, several were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (serious) hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were home-less after the storm.

    A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the morning and lasted for over an hour.

    "I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat) with my wife and children," he said, "when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(climb) out but then I saw that one of my children was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss). I went back inside and found him, safe {#blank#}8{#/blank#}very frightened."

    Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (feel) that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

    Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) food, clothes and shelter.

Gerrard Street in London's Chinatown

    Gerrard Street, which is between Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue, is the most important street in the area. There is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} unique community with many Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and shops.

    In the 1950s, it{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) a poor area and everything there was very cheap. With the world rice market changing, thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(move) to work in some restaurants in London. Many British people liked Chinese food, so the restaurants became popular. The workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (learn) English. Due to the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (arrive) of more Chinese, more shops and businesses grew up. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (wife) came and joined their husbands with their children. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.

    Since the 1970s, economy has changed for the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good), and the education state of British-born Chinese started to improve. Many families moved out {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinatown. Gerrard Street became a street only for visitors.

    London's Chinatown is very popular in Chinese New Year, during {#blank#}9{#/blank#} time thousands of Chinese go into the street with national flags. Londoners and tourists go there {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (main) for the food in the Chinese restaurants. Their favorite restaurants are where the Chinese eat.
