At the back of King's College there is a memorial stone in white marble to honor the Chinese poet Xu Zhimo. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (move) to the UK in 1921, Zhimo spent a year studying at King's where he {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fall) in love not only with the romantic poetry of English poets like John Keats, but also with Cambridge {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it).

    His poem, Second Farewell to Cambridge, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is considered to be his most famous one, is now a compulsory text on Chinese literature, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (learn) by millions of school children across our country every year. The poem {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (clear) paints a portrait of King's and the River Cam, and serves {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a reminder of Xu Zhimo's fondness for his time in Cambridge.

    While the poem had been set to music many times before, the English composer John Rutter, one of the mainstream classical {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (musician), was invited by King's College to make the first musical setting of the text. The new piece, written and recorded in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (celebrate) of the near 100-year link between King's College {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Xu Zhimo, has been released on a new album on the King's College Record Label.

    Wuzhen Water Town is a typical ancient town in southern China. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lie) in the northern part of Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, it can be easily accessed {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a number of express ways. On a recent business trip to Shanghai, a local friend {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (invite)me to Wuzhen.

    It was 9:00 am when we arrived there. With its houses made of black bricks and gray tiles (瓦) against the white walls, the small town is like a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tradition) Chinese ink wash drawing. Wandering along the riverside, you will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (deep) impressed by the great scenery and slow lifestyle. During lunchtime, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (treat) to the steamed white fish, a well-known dish served at most{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (restaurant) in Wuzhen. It tasted so good. But I think it is the combination of culture and food that makes it so outstanding.

    After lunch, we continued our walk, enjoying the sights and learning about its history, a history {#blank#}8{#/blank#}is full of good stories and unique traits (特色).

    It's really fortunate for anybody {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (explore) such a beautiful place. We hope there will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}second chance to visit this wonderful town!

    As the plane circled over the airport, everyone sensed that something was wrong. The plane was moving {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (steady) through the air, and although the passengers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fasten) their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward. At that moment, the air – hostess presented. She looked very pale, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was quite calm .Speaking quickly and almost in a whisper, she informed everyone that the pilot had fainted and asked if any of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (passenger) knew anything about machines. After a moment's hesitation, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} man got up and followed the hostess into the pilot's cabin. Moving the pilot aside, the man took his seat and listened carefully to the urgent instructions that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (send) by radio from the airport below. To everyone's relief, the plane, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was dangerously close to the ground at the moment, soon began to climb. The man had to circle the airport several times to become familiar {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the controls of the plane. The {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (critically) moment came when he had to land. The man, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (follow) the instructions, guided the plane toward the airfield, and it landed safely after a long run along the runway.

    A pale, yellow moon was rising as I was walking home from my friend's house. We had spent the evening taking care {#blank#}1{#/blank#} her younger sister and had watched two really frightening horror films on TV.

    Imagine my shock when, suddenly, from the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (distant) I heard a loud cry and saw a strange white form moving towards me at top speed through the air. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (open) my mouth but no sound came out. The terror I felt stopped me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (scream) for help. I fell to the ground and kept my eyes tightly shut, in case I would end up staring into the eyes of a terrible beast.

    After a couple of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (minute), when I realized that I hadn't been hurt, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (careful) opened my eyes and looked around. It was then {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I heard some sounds coming from a nearby tree. I looked up and saw a large, white owl sitting on a branch, watching me with what seemed to be a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (puzzle) expression on its face.

    I could have kicked {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(I) for being so stupid. It's strange how the mind can play tricks on you. I promised myself that that was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} last time I would go wandering around late at night after watching horror films!
