    Switzerland is famous{#blank#}1{#/blank#}its watches. However, this country didn't invent the watch. It was the British who did it. Here is a story of how the watch{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bring) to Switzerland.

    Many years ago,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Englishman traveled to Italy and on his way he stopped in a small town{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call) Geneva in Switzerland. This Englishman traveled in a carriage(马车) inside which there was a carriage watch. This was the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(early) kind of watch. A native shop assistant(售货员) happened to see the watch. He wondered what it was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}asked the Englishman about it. “It is a carriage watch.” answered the man. “This machine can tell the time but now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} isn't working.” At once the shop assistant offered to try repairing it. So the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (travel) handed him the watch. The man was very clever. It was easy for him {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (repair) it. He even remembered{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was made. And he made a watch of exactly the same type.

    When we mention the most famous Chinese painting of the Northern Song Dynasty, the image coming into people's mind{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) Qingming Shangle Tu or Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

    This painting is important {#blank#}2{#/blank#} several reasons. First, up till that time, almost all Chinese paintings were landscapes, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (contain) no or only a few images of people. Second, this is the first scroll（卷轴）painting {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (describe) both Chinese urban and suburban life during the period in the capital, Bianjing (now Kaifeng in Henan Province). Third, the painting is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (high) detailed and features shops of all kinds and different economic {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (activity) in and out of the city. People are able to see the Chinese technologies of the time, which helps them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} great deal in understanding {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the Chinese lived.

    The Beijing Palace Museum keeps the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (origin) Song painting and one of its famous copies-the Qing version {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hold) in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

    Should naps(小睡) actually{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain{#blank#}3{#/blank#} your body. But naps can actually be{#blank#}4{#/blank#} double-edged sword because while we're awake during the day, we're building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when you try to fall asleep at night, you'll fall asleep quickly and then you'll stay asleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(refresh).

    So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep soundly throughout the night. So the advice would be if you don't struggle with your sleep and you can nap{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(regular), then naps are just fine.

    But if you do find it difficult{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fall)asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.

    The ideal nap depends on{#blank#}9{#/blank#} you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep actually give you different types of brain and body{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (benefit).

    Once when Kevin was selling hats under a big tree, the monkeys in the tree picked some hats and put {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (they) on. Kevin took off his own hat and threw it onto the ground. The stupid monkeys also threw their hats! Kevin collected all the hats and left{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (happy).

    Fifty years later, young Tony, grandson of Kevin, also sold hats for a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live). After a long walk, Tony was tired, so he put his bag of hats beside him and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lie) down under a big tree. He soon fell asleep.

    When he woke up, Tony found that there weren't any hats{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leave) in his bag! Tony looked up and found some monkeys in the tree wearing his hats.

    Tony didn't know {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to do. Then he remembered the story of his grandfather "Yes! I can make these foolish monkeys {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （return） all my hats," said Tony.

    Tony then waved, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} did the monkeys. Tony started dancing, and the monkeys were dancing, too. Tony threw his hat on the ground…

    Just then, one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (monkey) jumped down from the tree, picked up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hat and said to Tony, "Do you think only you had a grandfather?"

    Chinese might be heard when you take a ride on the street. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant.

    Western countries {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (enjoy) Chinese food for a long time. Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) local people's tastes.

    Some Chinese{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (brand) are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. They're not simply made in China, but {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (design) in the country.

    In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap but not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rely). Things have changed greatly, though. For example, Huawei. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is one of China's major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in worldwide smartphone sales for the first time in June and July, behind only Samsung. "They are{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (beauty) and offer some unique features American phones don't have, " CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
