{#blank#}1{#/blank#} is well known, optimism(乐观)plays an important role in one's life. Although we are facing many difficulties, we should keep optimistic. Optimism is a mental(精神的)attitude or world view and it means expecting {#blank#}2{#/blank#} best possible result from any given situation.

    I did {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (poor) in English in the past, but I never gave up struggling(搏斗). All my families, teachers and friends encouraged {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (I) and they taught me a lot of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) ways of learning English. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (keep) practicing as they told me to do. I listened to English news and songs and I read interesting English stories. At weekends, watching some English movies was another good way to make my English better. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}difficulties I came across, I tried my best to work them out. I believe in myself, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (believe) that hard work would finally pay off. Gradually, I make progress in my English. Nowadays, I can remember English words {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (easy) and use them freely when communicating with foreigners.

    Thanks to optimism, I have become one of the top English {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (learn) in my school now.

    Wolf Warrior II is putting China in the global spotlight. It's also the first film {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(taste) success both in terms of box office（票房）earnings and promoting Chinese values.

    Since its release on July 27, it{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(earn) an unimaginable 4.5 billion yuan, setting a record for domestic movies at the box office. The film focuses on a rescue operation in Africa{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lead) by former special forces soldier Leng Feng — played by Wu Jing helps Chinese workers and local Africans flee a war-torn（受到战争破坏的）and plague-ravaged（瘟疫肆虐的）country.

    Wolf Warrior II links（联系）art to reality, and reminds people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the massive evacuation（撤离）of Chinese people from Libya when civil war {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(break) out there in 2011, and from Yemen in 2015, as well as the challenges the Ebola virus created in West Africa from 2013 to 2016.

    The film describes {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the Chinese government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens.

    Hollywood filmmakers, including creators of the 1998 Disney fílm Mulan, will start a “discovery trip” to Mulans birthplace —Huangpi district in Hubei province this week.

    During {#blank#}1{#/blank#} two-day visit, they will see a number of Mulan-themed performances, such as horse fighting show and local opera. They also will visit {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (place) of historical interest, like the Mulan Mountain and the Generals Temple.

    In the 20 years since the Disney film came out{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(it) director Tony Bancroft hasn't been to the land of Mulan's roots. “For me, it's more than a circle tour of{#blank#}4{#/blank#} my favorite character was born. I'm also doing my homework for the next film,” he said.

    “China used to be closed off to Westerners, thus{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (create) a mystery, but in the last few years, U. S. films{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(explore) the Chinese culture and environment, which has opened audiences to a whole new world. I believe the tale of Mulan appeals' to Westerners mainly{#blank#}7{#/blank#}it's about a daughter's respect for her family{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial) her father.” Bancroft added.

    A live-action remake of the 1998 film{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (expect) to hit theaters in 2019. The Walt Disney Studios has announced that Chinese actress Liu Yifei, also {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(know) as Crystal Liu, is going to star in the classic Chinese tale

    It's amazing that Chinese police are using facial-recognition tech to catch criminals. Police in Beijing are reportedly testing out new smart glasses with facial-recognition technology. The smart tech, which {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) in many checkpoints to find suspects presently.

    Some people will certainly be worried about the possibility of police using facial-recognition tech to flag individuals, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the chief executive thinks that there is no reason {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the concern, because he trusts the government. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (Interesting), this is not the first time that facial recognition has been used to stop wrongdoers in Beijing. In 2017, we reported on how visitors were having their faces scanned automatically in a certain restroom in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} capita] city to prevent locals from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (steal) the paper for use at home.

    Authorities in Shenzhen, China, have also set up artificial intelligence-powered CCTV cameras to scan the faces of those {#blank#}7{#/blank#} cross the streets unlawfully and display their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (identity) on large LED screens for all people to see.

    If that isn't punishment enough, plans are now in place {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (link) the current system with cellular technology, so offenders will also be sent a text message with a fine as soon as they are caught {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cross) the road against traffic lights.

    Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (travel) in his or her own country. Then the person in the other country paid for that part of the trip.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a letter crossed several countries, the problem was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (bad).

    Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of a postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 1840.They were the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue. A person {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (buy) a stamp and stuck it on a letter. The post office delivered {#blank#}6{#/blank#} letter. When people received letters, they didn't have to pay anything. The letters were prepaid.

    Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (immediate).Other countries started making {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) own postage stamps very quickly. Today, post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (collect) stamps is one of the most popular {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hobby) in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue.
