In the new sci-fi film. The Wandering Earth《流浪地球》, humans save the Earth without leaving it. In many-even most-space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster(灾难), the1 is always running away from the planet in spaceships.

    But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious idea. In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In reply, humans around the world work 2 to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the dying sun.3 giving up Earth-again-this time we're taking it with us.

    This "ambition" didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years," homeland" has had a soft point in 4 of Chinese people. One old idiom is "luoyeguigen", which means returning to one's homeland at the old age, like 5 leaves return to the roots of their trees. Or there is an ancient poem, "The season called the White Dew begins tonight: Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright". These6 show the tight link that Chinese people have had with their homeland.

    This special cultural background is probably the key 7separates The Wandering Earth from Hollywood-style space films.

    "What is Chinese sci-fi?"Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview. "A movie that can really 8our cultural and spiritual view can be called Chinese sci-fi. Or, we're just copying others and telling the same American stories."

    And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5^th, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the 9journey back to their hometowns.

    So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story. Earth10wherever humans go, because it's our home forever.

    Once upon a time, there lived a little boy one night, when the boy was sleeping, his hands, feet and eyes started 1 who was the most important.

    "We're the most important," the eyes said. "Without us, the 2  wouldn't know where to go, and the hands wouldn't know what to take."

    "No," the hands didn't 3 the eyes. "Sure, the eyes can see, but we're the ones playing with toys."

    "It is certain that we are the most important," the feet shouted. "We're the ones that run to the toys in the first place."

    An elf(精灵)that lived on a bookshelf full of storybooks next to the boy's bed 4 the argument.

    "All of you made a 5," he said. The hands, eyes and feet asked why.

    "I think you are 6 on your own. But together you make up a 7 body," the elf replied, "All of you have an important task: to 8 the boy and to help him in every way."

    After hearing the elf's words, they 9 that they were all very important to the boy. Then they never argued with each other. 10, they became friends and always worked together.

    My friend, Robert, 1in a butchers shop. He helps the butcher(屠夫) to do some heavy work. He puts meat on the shelf every day. People come into the shop and buy the meat. But today there isn't any meat on the shelf. The butcher asks Robert2some meat onto the shelf.

    Robert runs to get some pieces of meat. They are in another room and they are on the3shelf. Robert is tall, but he still can't reach(达到) the meat. Robert thinks for a minute. He has a good idea. He takes two boxes and puts one on the top of4. Then he stands on them. Now he can reach the pieces of meat5.

    The butcher is very glad to see the meat. And then, people are also happy to get some meat from the butcher's.

Long long ago, there is an old man. He lives in an old house." This house is too noisy(吵闹的)," he says. The door and the floors creak(咯吱作响). The windows go bang- bang.

One day, the old man goes to see a very wise(睿智的) woman." My house is too noisy," he says." What can I do?" The woman says," Take this goat to your house." And the old man does. The goat goes maa- maa. It breaks a chair with its horns(角). Bang!

The next day, the old man goes back to the woman." My house is still too noisy!" he says. So the wise woman gives(给) him a cow to take to his house. The cow goes moo- moo! The goat goes maa- maa! The old man puts(放) a quilt over his head.

The next day, the old man goes back to the woman." My house is still too noisy!" he says. So the wise woman gives him a donkey(驴) to take to his house. The donkey goes hee- haw, hee- haw! The cow goes moo- moo! The goat goes maa- maa! The old man shouts loudly," It is too noisy!" 

The next day, the woman comes to the house. She says," Open the door. Let out the goat, the cow and the donkey." The old man does. And what do you know?      ▲      The old man goes to bed and sleeps all day long.

Once upon a time, there was an old man who usually went to the seaside to do his writing. He had a habit of walking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the beach before he began his writing.

One day, he saw a figure(身影) moving like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} dance r while walking along the seaside. He smiled to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( he) and thought maybe he could see a dance here. And so, he walked faster.

As he got {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( close), he noticed that it was a young woman. She was not dancing at all. Instead, she bent down(弯腰) to pick up something and then she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( throw) it into the sea.

So the old man called out," Good morning! May I ask {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you are doing?"

The young woman paused, looked up, and answered," I am throwing starfish into the sea."

"{#blank#}7{#/blank#} really surprised me a lot. Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?" asked the old man.

To this, the young woman {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( reply)," The sun is up and the tide is going out. IfI don't throw them in, they' ll die."

Upon hearing this, the old man said," But there are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( mile) of beach and there are starfish all along every mile. You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the woman picked up another {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( one) and put it into the sea. As it met the water, she said," It made a difference to that one."
