What is the most popular communication tool today? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}your answer is QQ or MSN, I must say you're a bit old fashioned. Today, a new form of communication “Wechat”, which {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (own) a Chinese name Weixin, is becoming the most influential text and voicing tool all over the world.

What advantages does Wechat have? First, Wechat is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}relatively cheap way of communication; that is to say, it uses network traffic instead of telephone fare. Next, we can know {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is going on at any time. And we can have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (easily) access to information available than other messaging tools.

What roles does it play in our daily life? According to the latest report, the number of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (register) users on Wechat platform has topped 200 million and it has expanded its business to overseas market. Can you imagine that a mobile phone ‘app' works so {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (power) that it reaches 200 million users within 8 months? Wechat itself has become the most popular mobile chat application in the world. A large number of people have become “Wechataholic”, which means they keep staring at the mobile phone all the time and can't live {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it.

However, while enjoying its great {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (convenient), people should not ignore the danger of  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cheat), for information on Wechat is publicly known.

    As is known to us, the year 2016 has one extra day in it — February 29th. This is because it's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we call “a leap year”. Every four years, the year has 366 days in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  instead of 365.

    It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England, the extra day wasn't{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (legal) recognized. There is a well-known tradition in the UK{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (associate) with February 29th, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose(求婚) to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back in the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (five) century, when a famous Irish saint made a{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (complain) that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend, Saint Patrick said any female dreaming of a proposal could ask her boyfriend to marry her on this additional day in February. This so-called tradition{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) in law in the thirteenth century. Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to men in a leap year. It was said that if the men refused, they had to pay a fine!

    Now in 2016, there are calls{#blank#}8{#/blank#} February 29th to become a public holiday. Some people believe that it should be an{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (office) day off, because no one gets{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (many) payments for working an extra day in a leap year. For the moment though, the British still have to go to work on this day.

    Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (break)out.

    Every year, over 11，000 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kill)or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (care)cause about 200 deaths and over 6,000 fires. More than of those {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 911 for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go)into a room，check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (slow)．If there is a rush of smoke heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (other)inside.

    Now open the window and shout “Fire!”. See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (long) before dropping. Once outside, stay out outside and make sure the fire department is called.

     Siva, the wise father of Ganesh,once called his two sons and suggested a small contest.

    “I will give this sweet to{#blank#}1{#/blank#}goes around the world faster,” he said, holding out a large,delicious milk sweet. Murugan,Ganesh's brother,glowed with pride knowing the prize would soon be{#blank#}2{#/blank#},for he could fly{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(swift) in his chariot（敞篷双轮马车）,circle the earth,and be back in only hours,while his big,clumsy brother Ganesh would take so much{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(long) to do the same.

Bidding farewell to his parents,Murugan set off happily.Ganesh thought for a moment,then smiled and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (begin) to move.His large elephant with its heavy trunk did slow him down,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}he did not have far to go.For he simply walked carefully{#blank#}7{#/blank#}both of his parents.In a few minutes he had circled them,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (stand) respectfully in front of his father once again.

    “Father, please give me the prize,”he said.

    “Why? You did not go around the world.You stayed right here,”replied Siva.

    “But Father,” argued Ganesh, “I have just gone around the world.You see, my parents are indeed the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}world to me.”His parents smiled, well pleased.

    Much later, a tired Murugan returned home.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, the prize was already eaten up.And now you know who won it and why.
