The Jade Emperor, the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(high)god in Heaven, was angry about this. He{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (plan)an attack on Earth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with orders to destroy all people and animals. But the other celestials {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (disagree) with him and risked their lives {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(warn)the people of Earth. As {#blank#}8{#/blank#}result, before and after the fifteenth day of the first month, every family hung red lanterns outside their doors and set {#blank#}9{#/blank#}firecrackers and fireworks(烟花爆竹), giving the impression that their homes were already burning. By successfully {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(trick)the Jade Emperor in this way, human beings were saved from destruction.

    Hi! Welcome to my webpage. My name's Tom Wood and I'm an English teacher. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (design) this webpage last week so that my students can learn more about me. I think it is important{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (know) my students well. And it is only fair{#blank#}3{#/blank#} my students know me well, too.

    I was born in London, England, but I've lived and worked in China for the past 15 years and I really like living here.

    I can speak Putonghua and even a little bit of Cantonese{#blank#}4{#/blank#} is my wife's dialect (方言). I practice{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(speak) Chinese every day and I am improving{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fortunate), there are one or two million people in my town who are ready to help me with my Chinese! I particularly enjoy talking to my neighbors.

    My favourite sport is football. I play football once a week with some of the other teachers at the school. We're going to organize a(n){#blank#}7{#/blank#} (compete) with teams of teachers from other schools this summer.

    My other great love is my motorbike. I love getting on my motorbike and riding out to the countryside. But my wife thinks it's too{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (noise )and dangerous. If anyone wants to send me an email, just{#blank#}9{#/blank#}do) as you like. I'd love to hear{#blank#}10{#/blank#} you.
