Liu Sijiang(teacher):The Net improves the speed of communication， but there are many people who lie on it Therefore, it is natural that some people are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(worry)about the girl in Nanjing, who made friends with an American teacher by email.

    Xu Yong (student) : These days, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make) friends online is a part of many people's lives. I think we can make good and helpful friends online, just like the girl from Nanjing. So don't be afraid to do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you think is right.

    Ding Yixiang ( student ): As the most {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(importance) communication tool at present, the Internet helps us to know and understand world affairs. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is also easy to make friends with foreigners through your keyboard {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, a “ friend” might lie to you. Only if young people can control themselves well and know what is good and what is bad, making friends on the Net should not be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} problem at all.

    Zhou Jian( student) : It is hard to say {#blank#}8{#/blank#} or not it is good to make friends on the Internet In fact, some bad and harmful things have indeed happened. However, I like to make friends online. I often share my happiness and sadness {#blank#}9{#/blank#} my friends there. They can offer me some advice {#blank#}10{#/blank#} tell me how to solve problems when I am in trouble.

    My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn't far from Chinatown,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

    That was the first time that I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food.

    When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why{#blank#}3{#/blank#}has this special feature.

    Many years ago, china had{#blank#}4{#/blank#}energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren't any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

    In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables{#blank#}7{#/blank#}small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fast) and they saved more fuel. The food{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor and it's this flavor{#blank#}10{#/blank#}attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

    A 14-year-old Chinese boy overcame two of humankind's most dreaded fears—getting stuck in an elevator and getting homework {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) in a single night, owing to his calm-witted character.

    Sun Yixiao was on his way up on Tuesday evening after school {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the lift suddenly came to a stop. A moment of panic followed before the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(teenage) could find a way out.

    Sun said he tried to open the elevator door, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(press) all the buttons in the hope to get the elevator to work again, but it didn't work.

    Without a cell phone at hand, Sun tried yelling to get attention of people outside, but no one responded as time passed by. He slipped a note through the door {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the message "people stuck inside, please ask the property management for help," and hoped someone {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(pick) it up and act on it.

    After exhausting all his options without knowing how long {#blank#}7{#/blank#}would take before someone found him, he took out his textbooks and started to do his homework {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient).

    Soon after he finished his duties, Sun heard loud {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(voice) outside. A large crowd including his teachers and other parents had come to the rescue, by which time he {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(trap) in the elevator for over five hours.

    We all know how good nature can make us feel. The sound of the ocean, the smell of a forest and the way sunlight dances through {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leaf) help us to relax and think more clearly. The idea {#blank#}2{#/blank#} humans own a deep biological need to connect with nature has been called "Biophilia", {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (mean) "love of life and the living world". Yet, according to the United Nations Population Division, so far the number of us going to urban areas {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (grow) sharply. By 2050, it is estimated that a shocking sixty-eight percent of the world's inhabitants will live in cities. Cities are wonderful places — full of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (excite), innovation and energy. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} living in a city can be stressful. And the more we live in them, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} more stress we have, leading to increases in mental illnesses {#blank#}8{#/blank#} depression and loneliness. The good news is that the global science community continues to explain the medical benefits of nature on the brain. Through conducting research and sharing information with different organizations, new ideas are being carried out that encourage us {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (step) out of the fast street and reconnect with nature in a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rapid) changing world.
