The giant panda {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby. She was a very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (care) mother. For 25 days, she never left her baby, not even to find something {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (eat)! She would not let any other pandas come near. She licked the baby constantly to keep it clean. Any smell might attract dangerous {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (animal) that would try to eat the little comforting pats. The mother held the baby in her front paws much the way a human does.  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it cried, she rocked it back and forth and gave it little comforting pats. The mother continued to care for the young panda {#blank#}7{#/blank#} more than two years. By that time, the panda no longer needed {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) mother for food. However, it stayed with her and learned about the ways of the forest. Then, after two and a half years, the mother {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (drive) the young panda away . It was time for her to have a new baby, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was also time for the young panda to be independent.

    The giant vending machine (自动售货机) is a new village shop

Villagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic supplies. However, help is now nearer at hand in form of the country's first automatic push-button shop. Now residents in the Derbyshire Village of Clifton can buy groceries around the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week.

    Peter Fox, who is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}electrical engineer, spent two and a half years working on the project. The machine {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (equip) with securing cameras and alarms and looks like a mini shop with a brick front, a grey roof and a display window.

    Mr. Fox said he hoped his invention,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} is set to be installed in other villages in the area over the coming months, will mark a return to convenience shopping for rural communities.

He said:“ I had this idea a few years ago but I couldn't find a manufacture who could deliver what I wanted, so I did it by{#blank#}4{#/blank#} The result is what amounts to huge outdoor vending machine. Yet I think the term “automatic shop” is far {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (appropriate)

    In recent years, the commercial pressure from supermarket chains{#blank#}6{#/blank#} force village shops across the country to close. In 2010, it was estimated that about 400 village shops closed,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (urge) the local government to give financial support to struggling shops or set-up new communities stores.

    Hundreds of communities have since stepped in and opened up their won volunteer-run shops, but Mr. Fox hopes his new invention will offer a solution{#blank#}8{#/blank#}these villages without a local shop.

    Beijing Opera is a traditional culture of China. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) Beijing Opera because it's formed in Beijing.

    Beijing Opera has a history of about 200 years, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} origin can date back to old local operas, especially Anhui Opera. In 1790, the first Anhui Opera performance was held in Beijing {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (celebrate) the Emperor's birthday. Later, some other Anhui Opera troupes (戏班) went on to perform in Beijing. Anhui Opera was easy to move {#blank#}4{#/blank#} good at absorbing the acting styles of other types of operas.

    At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Beijing Opera finally formed, and became the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (big) of all operas in China. Beijing Opera has a rich list of plays, artists, troupes, audiences, and wide influences, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (make) it the leading opera in China.

    Beijing Opera is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} all-round acting art. It mixes singing, reading, acting, fighting and dancing together by using acting {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (method) to tell stories and describe characters. The roles in Beijing Opera include the male, female, painted-face, and comedic roles. Besides, there {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) other supporting roles as well. In addition, the types of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (face) make-up, especially the color, are the most particular art in Beijing Opera.

    The Czech Republic really loves celebrations, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(include) anniversaries, national holidays and many other festivals.

    In the fall they hold their harvest festival in different regions. People basically celebrate the harvest, recognizing that they have enough food to survive through winter. It's a tradition that dates back{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the time when people didn't have enough food to eat, so many died from {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(hungry).

    I felt very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(luck) to go to a village, where a festival was being held. This village is known for its outdoor museum{#blank#}5{#/blank#} shows the lives of people from the past and the jobs they did.

    In the afternoon, there were not only performances of singing and dancing, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}also plenty of other activities to do. Bands started to play traditional Czech music on the stage. People in the garden{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(drink) beer and enjoyed {#blank#}8{#/blank#}wonderful music that everyone there relaxed.

    Through festivals Czech people remind{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) of their history, and at the same time have {#blank#}10{#/blank#}good time together with their families and friends.
