A trip to China with the kids could be a test to your nerves,but also a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wonder)experience.This is an ancient civilization which is growing at great speed into the 21^st century,meanwhile holding onto the old traditions and way of life.

    As you travel from area to area,a sea of contrasts is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}makes it so fascinating.You can find an old fisherman on his bamboo boat{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(answer) his mobile phone,and modernity and old traditions existing side by side.The only constant thing in China is “change”.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}first it might seem challenging.But you{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(find)the people helpful,especially if you are traveling with children.Chinese love children,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}more the happier.

    But as far as children{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(concern),this isn't a light-hearted trip to Disneyworld.What if they get sick?Will the kids like the food?Is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pollute)really that bad?Will they be bored?Just relax.You can depend on{#blank#}9{#/blank#}that you'll end up with plenty of priceless{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(memory) of that country.

    This weekend I was delighted to show my parents around Seville, as they {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(come) for a short but sweet visit. Although the weather wasn't the best, we still made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} best of our time together.

    Being reunited with the people you love in a new place {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bring) excitement. Showing them around the new city makes you{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (extraordinary) happy. For example, as Seville is known for flamenco (弗拉门科舞), I took them to see a famous {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(perform) my friends recommended to me, which gave us such a wonderful visual feast. Furthermore, getting to show your visitors the places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (appeal) to you is a pleasant feeling, because you are eager to let them know where you love to spend your time. You are letting them get involved{#blank#}7{#/blank#} your new life. Also you have the opportunity{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (show) your beloved ones the new places that they may fall in love with.

    So, after a two-day trip, I feel pleased to have had the time to explore those {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(attraction) with my parents. I am already looking forward to their next visit {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I can show them more of what Seville offers and what I am still yet to discover.

    Examinations are of great{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(important) in Chinese schools and universities, so millions of the students take part in them every year. Almost all the students{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(teach) from an early age to understand the nature of examinations. It is true that some students can pass an examination{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) than others, although it doesn't mean they are better with their study.

    Quite a few students are afraid of examinations though they master {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they have learned very well. Sometimes the fear of examinations comes from pressure.

    People think pressure is good for students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}it can make the students{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(try) harder and make some school work more challenging. But too much pressure may even cause diseases {#blank#}7{#/blank#}will influence students' academic performance badly.

    No student succeeds {#blank#}8{#/blank#}hard work. If one spends little little{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(work) on their lessons every day, they can't expect {#blank#}10{#/blank#}good result at the end of the term. Developing study skills can get students to learn better and to pass examinations with ease if they understand the lessons and the work involved.

    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 half 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 119for 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's a rush of smoke or heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（other）in side.

    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 outside and make sure the fire department is called.

    Chinese are the first people to have tea. One thousand and two hundred years ago, Lu Yu wrote a book called “The Classic of Tea”, which is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#}“The Bible of Tea”．The book gives a detailed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.

    However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it). Take green tea for instance, the ideal temperature of the water should be around ℃. If the water is too hot, nutrients (营养) in the tea will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (destroy)．On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leaf) won't open and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor. So Chinese people are used {#blank#}6{#/blank#} drinking hot tea. When you visit a Chinese friend, your friend will {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (constant) add hot water to your empty cup of tea. It is polite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands. Of course, the guests should pay respect as well, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take)the cup with both hands.

    Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} saying: Wine full, full cup. Tea half, half cup. For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness. For tea, the half cup means modesty.
