Classical Chinese poetry is traditional Chinese poetry{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (write) in Classical Chinese and typified by certain traditional forms. Many{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(poem) come from particular historical periods, such as the poetry of the Tang Dynasty and the verse of Song Dynasty.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it) existence dates back to at least as early as the publication of the Classic of Poetry or Shijing. There are{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(vary) combinations of forms and genres, most of{#blank#}5{#/blank#}arose at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

    Development of Classical Chinese poetry{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(active) continued up to the year of 1919, when the May Fourth Movement{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) place, and is still popular even today. Classical Poetry created during this 2,500-year period has been developing continuously.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (produce) a great deal of diversity—classified by both major historical periods{#blank#}9{#/blank#}dynastic periods.

    Of the key aspects of Classical Chinese poetry is its close inter-relationship with other forms of Chinese art, such as Chinese painting and Chinese calligraphy (书法).Classical Chinese poetry has proven to have a strong influence{#blank#}10{#/blank#} poetry worldwide.

    On May 18, it was announced that China had achieved success in drilling fire ice, a frozen {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mix) of water and natural gas, from the South China Sea. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(official) known as methane hydrates(甲烷水合物), fire ice produces a high amount of energy when {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(burn) and its chemical reaction produces nothing but dioxide and water.

    Fire ice, both clean and energy-intensive, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(consider) the fuel of the future. Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been conducting research on fire ice, but extracting（提取）it from the bottom of the sea has been a common problem {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(trouble) all of them. But, the Chinese team succeeded in drilling fire ice for nearly eight successive days, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}is a big breakthrough.

    However, it is too early {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(say) a new energy source has been found. The world's total fire ice reserve is about 21,000 trillion cubic meters, which, if extracted, could meet the world's energy need

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}1,000 years. But the successful test drilling of fire ice does not mean it can be extracted for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(industry) use. China has to solve many problems before it can use fire ice as a source of energy.

    It's thought that only by 2025 at{#blank#}10{#/blank#} earliest might people be able to look at realistic commercial options.

    My wife and I like watching plays, so we will go to the theater whenever we have time. But before we buy tickets, we would like to know if the play is good or bad. When a new play comes, we{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) read the newspaper to get information about it. Last week a new play was put on at the theater. The newspaper said it was very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (interest) so we decided to go on Saturday night. My wife took a long time to make her {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (decide) about what to wear and we left our house a little late. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the time we got to the theater, the first act had already{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (begin). After the play was over, we met some friends,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} lived next to us several years ago. Then we went dancing. By the time we got home, it was about two o clock in the morning. I'm not used to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) out so late and I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (extreme) tired.

    When I was younger, I did not have the money to go out for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}evening like this. Though I can afford it now, I don't have the energy{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (enjoy) it.

    As the rain starts to pound on the windows, you may find your dog hiding under a low piece of furniture or in the corner of a dark room. It's not unusual for a dog to attempt {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) grounded during storms by seeking {#blank#}2{#/blank#} lowest place in the house or some place near the house's pipes.

    But why? As you might suspect, noise is one of the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reason). Thunder-storms can frighten dogs with noise phobia, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is a severe fear of loud noises. Noise phobias can start at any age and worsen over time if {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leave)untreated.

    Another reason is static electricity(静电). During a thunderstorm, static electricity in the clouds builds up, eventually {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (burst) into lightning. Dogs can sense this static electricity, and often even before the storm reaches our own neighbourhood. Static electricity {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (feel) by dogs through their fur. It could be {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (help)to gently lead your dog to the bathroom and into the bathtub as the porcelain(瓷器)may {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (actual) help block static electricity.

    At the same time, try not to take care {#blank#}10{#/blank#} your dog too much. Otherwise, your dog may think that its behavior is something you'd like to see again.
