    Of the key aspects of Classical Chinese poetry is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(it) close inter-relationship with other forms of Chinese art, such as Chinese painting and Chinese calligraphy (书法). Classical Chinese poetry{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (prove) to have a strong influence on poetry worldwide.

    China has always been famous for being a “State of Etiquettes (礼仪)”. According to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (history) documents, as early as 2,600 years ago, this nation has already established a thorough set {#blank#}2{#/blank#} dining etiquettes. A famous 19th century Russian writer, Anton Chekhov, once invited a Chinese man {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) a drink in a bar. Chekhov said, “Before drinking from his cup, he held {#blank#}4{#/blank#} with his hands and presented to me and the bar owner and bar tenders, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (say) “qing (please).” This is the custom of China. They are not like us to finish it in one drink, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} prefer to drink by taking a small amount at a time. With every sip (一小口), he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (eat) some food. Afterwards he handed me some Chinese coins to show {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (grateful). This is a rather interestingly polite nationality. This was the most valuable opinion of a Chinese person {#blank#}9{#/blank#} was given by a foreigner two centuries ago. Chinese traditional dinner procedures used to be long and dealt seriously with. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (important) the occasion, the more complex the procedures were.

    Because deaf people can't hear, they have special ways of communicating. For example, they can learn to understand{#blank#}1{#/blank#}someone is saying by looking at the mouth of the speaker. This{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(call) lipreading. Also, speaking is very difficult for the deaf, because they can't hear{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) own voices. However, it is possible with special training. According to many deaf people all around the world, the most {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(practice) and popular way of communicating is with sign language.

    On the afternoon of 11 March 2011, Tetsu Nozaki watched helplessly as a wall of water {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(crash) into his boats in Onahama, a small fishing port on Japan's Pacific coast.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(spend) the past eight years rebuilding, the Fukushima fishing fleet is now confronting yet another menace — the increasing likelihood {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the nuclear plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), will dump huge quantities of radioactive water into the ocean.

    "We strongly oppose any plans to discharge the water into the sea," Nozaki, head of Fukushima prefecture's federation of fisheries cooperatives, told the Guardian.

    Currently, just over one million tonnes of contaminated water is held in almost 1, 000 tanks at Fukushima Daiichi, but the utility has warned that it will run out of space by the summer of 2022.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(release) the wastewater into the sea would also anger South Korea, adding to pressure on diplomatic ties.

    Seoul, which has yet to lift an import ban on Fukushima seafood {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(introduce) in 2013, claimed last week that discharging the water would pose a "grave threat" {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the marine environment — a charge rejected by Japan.

    Japanese Government officials say they won't make a decision {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they have received a report from an expert panel, but there are strong indications that dumping is preferred over other options {#blank#}8{#/blank#} vaporising, burying or storing the water indefinitely.

    Critics say the government is reluctant {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(support) the dumping option for fear of creating fresh controversy over Fukushima during the Rugby World Cup,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} starts this week, and the buildup to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

    China's first artificial intelligence (Al) textbook for high school students {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(bring) out last week, following a plan by central government {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(include) Al courses in primary and secondary school.

    The nine - chapter textbook, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(name) " Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence" , was written by outstanding {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(scholar) from well - known schools nationwide, under the joint efforts by the research center for MOOC at East China Normal University and Al startup SenseTime. It includes the history of Al and how the technology can be applied in areas such as facial recognition, auto driving and public security.

    "The textbook focuses not only on basics of Al, but on {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(practice) use of Al in daily life," said Chen Yukun, a professor at East China Normal University, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is also a contributor to the book.

    Up till now, about 40 high schools across the country {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(undertake) the task of being the first group of Al high education pilot program {#blank#}8{#/blank#} introducing the textbook in the curriculum. "The Al sector is facing a talent shortage {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(global). The publication of the book is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}breakthrough as it takes Al technology out of the 'Ivory tower' and makes it part of high school learning," said Lin Dahua, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
