Journey to the Center of the Earth spoke of a trip to the centre of the earth through a volcano in Iceland. When Professor Otto Lindenbrock，his nephew and the guide they hired {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(reach) the volcano， they journeyed underground through a small cave. After many days， they came to a vast room {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a large ocean inside. The three men built a small boat and set sail.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sudden)， two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other. The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they were able to get away.

They sailed to shore and explored the forest. They came across huge insects and many strange {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(creature). As they were wandering around， they noticed a man sitting against a tree in the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(distant)—he was at least four meters tall. The men became afraid， and ran back to the boat.

The boat floated down with the water {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they could only hold on to the boat in terror. Finally， they reached the bottom of the hole. Then the water began to push them up. They floated upwards for miles. The water rushed beneath them， {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(push) them out into the sunlight. They now found {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) in a volcano in Italy—their adventure was over，but a new one was about {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(begin).

    Born in England in 1944, Ian Wilmut{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(know) as the leader of the research group than first cloned a female lamb {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) Dolly in 1996. Dolly became famous and pictures of her appeared on the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cover) of magazines all over the world. The {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (possible) of reproduction without a male and female being involved also made her the focus of a moral debate. For scientists, however, the cloning of dolly using the DNA of an adult cell was a breakthrough {#blank#}5{#/blank#}showed the cloning of special animals was possible.

    However,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}Wilmut think unlikely is human cloning. He says {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (undertake) the procedure with humans would require 29 surrogate（替代的）mothers and 300 eggs. Of those 29, 28 would be bound {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience) failure and suffer physically and emotionally. He says he is also concerned about the psychological and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(society) consequences a cloned might have to go through. For these reasons, he is not{#blank#}10{#/blank#} favor of it.

    Elias was born in the 20th century when the black people were put in to a miserable position {#blank#}1{#/blank#}they had no rights at all. Elias, like most black people in South Africa, had little {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(educate)and was worried {#blank#}3{#/blank#} whether he would become out of work. This was the very reason {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he met Mandela. Mandela always encouraged him not to lose heart.

    At that time, black people had no rights of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (vote). They couldn't get jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. They were sent to the poor areas {#blank#}6{#/blank#}no one could grow food.

    Nelson Mandela organized the ANC Youth League to fight against the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(govern). They first broke the law in a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (peace) way.

    When it was not allowed, they decided to answer violence with violence. So Elias joined the ANC Youth League, helping Nelson Mandela blow up some government {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (build). Elias {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (strong) believed what he did would help them achieve their dream of making black and white people equal.

    Chinese art is a visual art that is practiced in China or by Chinese artists. The Chinese art of overseas Chinese can also be viewed {#blank#}1{#/blank#}part of Chinese art, because it is based on Chinese culture.

Chinese opera would also be introduced and branched regionally in addition to other {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(perform) formats such as variety shows.

    Visiting Xi'an was once my dream. It became a reality when I was admitted to a training course in China along with two other {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lady). Finally, the day arrived {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I landed at Xianyang International Airport in early August. As soon as I landed, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (feel) a change in the atmosphere. I saw people standing in queues {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wait) for their turn at the immigration desk. Afterwards, we were transported to the office in the International Exhibition Center. China had invited participants {#blank#}5{#/blank#} twenty-three developing countries to share digital television broadcasting techniques with them.

    In my 20 days in Xi'an, I got the opportunity to observe Chinese Culture closely, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} thus it left an unforgettable mark on me. Now, Xi'an is like my second home. Since I came back to Pakistan, I have been missing Xi'an {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad).

    My 20-day stay in Xi'an was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} great experience. It was a learning opportunity, and also a chance to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (broad) my understanding of diversity. I learned that despite differences of colors, heights, races and religions, all human beings {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tie) by the bond of humanity, and that the future of nations is global with development and peace.
