My trip to Tibet is so wonderful that I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you of it.

    I'm not sure {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩）that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching {#blank#}7{#/blank#} these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

    When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) alive. True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mean)me no real harm. He was just saying: "I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder!" Once his message was delivered, he allowed me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (stay)and watch.

    A university professor and his elderly mother have become social media stars in China. Prof Hu has been bringing his 80-year-old mother. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} has Alzheimer's, to his classes. Freshmen at the university at first assumed that she was a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (retire) professor sitting in on classes, before {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (realise) it was Prof Hu's mother. She is very quiet during his classes and the students have come to accept her with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (warm).

    It is reported that Prof Hu's father died in 2011, and although he has {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (young) sisters, he has taken on the responsibility of looking after his mother, because her brain disease means that he is the only one she recognises. He said that her symptoms were now so severe {#blank#}6{#/blank#} “she cannot tell the difference between when she is holding a soft drink, sugar, salt, or washing powder”.

    Weibo users have praised Prof Hu {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a filial son (孝子), as well as a good educator - not just in economics, but in life.

    Respect towards parents, elders and ancestors {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (consider) a key value in Chinese society and culture.
