On July 12th, 2012, an airplane took off from the capital airport of Belgium. After about an hour's flight, something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( believe ) happened on the plane. The airhostess was about to serve lunch {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a small mouse stole out from the bag of a young man, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} made the young woman nearby fall in terror with loud screaming. Then more and more {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( mouse ) came out of the bag. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( catch ) by surprise, the other passengers all shouted in panic. The steward（机长）managed to get in touch with the control center on the ground. With the order from the ground, the plane {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( succeed ) landed at the nearest airport. As soon as the plane was on the ground, all the passengers got off. Then seven specialists got on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( kill ) these small creatures. Many means had been tried, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of them were good enough.

    At last they tried to fill in the plane {#blank#}9{#/blank#} carbon-dioxide, which poisoned all of the small creatures. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( report ) that the young man wanted to carry them to another city and sell them as pets but no one expected that these small creatures succeeded in escaping from the bag .

    Chinese are the first people to have tea. One thousand and two hundred years ago, Lu Yu wrote a book called "The Classic of Tea",  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is honored as "The Bible of Tea". The book gives a detailed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.

    However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it). Take green tea for instance, the ideal temperature of the water should be around 80℃. If the water is too hot, nutrients（营养）in the tea {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (destroy). On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leaf) won't open up and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor. So Chinese people are accustomed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} drinking hot tea. When you visit a Chinese friend, your friend will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (constant) add hot water to your emptying cup of tea. It is polite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands. Of course, the guests should pay respect as well {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) over the cup with both hands.

    Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} saying: wine full, full cup. Tea half, half cup. For wine, full cup symbolizes whole heartiness. For tea, half, it means modesty.

Theme Parks

    Parks provide people{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a place to amuse{#blank#}2{#/blank#} for a while. In recent decades, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, many parks have been designed to provide{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entertain). We call them theme parks. Then new parks are usually huge places and have a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of things to see and do. Theme Parks have a certain theme—that the whole parks are based {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (old) theme park in the world is Disneyland. It seemed like a magical world which can make your dream come true. But if you are interested in traditional culture and history, go to Dollywood, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you can have fun {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (learn) all about America's historical southeastern culture, then you can go to Camelot Park, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} world of fantasy about ancient England.

    Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo(冰屋) hotel.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(build) in a small town, it has been attracting lots of visitors but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks' time, Bergqvst's ice creation{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(replace) it."

    Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}successful that he designed the present one, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks —piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(remove).

    After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a relaxing hotel break. "It's great fun," Bergqvist explains, "as{#blank#}9{#/blank#} as a good start in survival training."

    The{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(popular)of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.

    Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she made a dream that she {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) to a distant land in Tibet by a flying carpet .There, the antelope told her they were killed for the wool beneath their {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(stomach). Then the carpet flew her to Zimbabwe {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she met an elephant. The elephant said they used to be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} endangered species because local farmers hunted them without mercy. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fortunate), their number was now increasing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the help of the government. So when learning that more attention was paid to{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(protect) wildlife, Daisy felt happy. Her final stop was a thick rainforest. A monkey was seen rubbing a millipede insect over {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it) body.  Daisy was{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(amaze) and asked the monkey what the millipede contained. Knowing it contained a powerful drug, Daisy could hardly wait {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(share) the good news with WWF.

    No one loves me more than my parents, especially my father. My father is stout and strong, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a serious look on his face and keen expressive eyes. At first sight you may feel him hard {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (approach). In fact he is very kind and considerate. I believe my father is a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (gift) man. He is decisive and efficient in doing things. By his own talents and years of efforts, he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (provide) his children with good education and a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (relative) rich life. Besides, he lives in harmony with others and never quarrels with anyone, so people from all walks of life come to my house, from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I've gained lots of social experiences. But at home he is a strict parent who is hard on me and has a high{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (expect) of me. I can see that my idling away time hurts him deeply, while {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I have done something great and meaningful, such as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (write) a book, he will be more excited than me. I always remind {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(I) I must go on and on, and never shall I give up halfway.
