    Hello, everyone! Up to now, we have finished learning the first three units of Book 1. Now let's review what we have learnt together.

    In Unit One, we have learnt about what kind of friends we should make from our friend Anne {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was killed by the German Nazis during World War Ⅱ. It was the first time in her life that she{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(keep)diaries in the hiding place. So she had great difficulty{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(set) down what she and her family had gone through. Though she grew so crazy about everything to do with nature, it was no pleasure looking through the dusty windows any longer.

    In Unit Two, we have known that there is more than one kind of English in the world and in some important ways they are very different{#blank#}4{#/blank#}one another. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. However, today the number of people learning English in China{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(increase)rapidly, although they find{#blank#}6{#/blank#}hard to learn English well. As high school students, we should make full use of our time{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) a good command of English in order to pass the College Entrance Examinations in three years.

    In Unit Three, our friends Wang Kun and Wang Wei made up their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mind) to take a great bike trip along the Mekong River. They both bought {#blank#}9{#/blank#} expensive mountain bike. Finally they got the chance after graduating from college. Soon they got their cousins{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(interest) in cycling too. After making preparations, they together started their journey and realized their dream to take a great bike trip.

    A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher. These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy). The teacher asked them the difficulty they had{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (achieve) their dreams. Then their talk soon turned to complaining about the stress in work and life. The teacher went to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups-china ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they)to the coffee.

    When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the plain and cheap ones? You want only the best for yourselves,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}is the source of your problems.”

    “What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other's cups.”

    “Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) the cups. They are just {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (tool) to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we fail {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(enjoy) the coffee. So don't let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”

    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
