Once there lived a rich man {#blank#}1{#/blank#} wanted to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out whether they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (actual) deserved his help.

    In the centre of the main road into the town , he placed{#blank#}3{#/blank#} very large stone. Then he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

    “Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not attempt {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (remove) the stone. {#blank#}6{#/blank#},with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone but nobody tried to remove it. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (say) to himself; “The night {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be)very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

    The he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (strong)to move it. To his amazement, he found a bag of money under the stone.

    China has splendid culture with a long history. Chinese opera is one of the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(old) dramatic art forms in the world. During the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Taizong established an opera school {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the poetic name Liyuan (Pear Garden).Since the Yuan Dynasty, encouraged by court officials and emperors, it{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(become)a traditional art form. During the Qing Dynasty, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}became fashionable among ordinary people. Performances{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(watch) in tearooms, restaurants, and even on temporary stages.

    It developed from folk songs, dance, talking, antimasque（滑稽戏）and especially distinctive dialectical music. Gradually it combined music, art and literature into one performance on the stage.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(accompany) by traditional musical instruments, actors present unique melodies which may sound strange to{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(foreign)as well as beautifully written dialogues, which are of high literary{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(valuable).These dialogues also promoted the development of distinct literary styles, such as Zaju in the Yuan Dynasty. For Chinese, especially older folks,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(listen) to this kind of opera occasionally is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}real pleasure.

    Traditionally, we usually get a general impression of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stranger) by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. However, in the age of social networking, first impressions are sometimes made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} looking at their profile photos on social platforms like Twitter or WeChat.

    These social images say a lot about our personality, according to a recent study, in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} researchers used a software to analyze the profile photos to find out whether there was a connection between a person's personality and his profile photo.

    The result reveals that open-minded people are more likely {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pose) with an object in their profile photos. Their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (excite) faces can tell how much they enjoy their experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic (神经质的) people tend to choose photos of objects rather than selfies to avoid {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) too miserable because of the strong social practice against a sad or angry {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (appear) in profile photos.

    Apart from the objects in profile photos, the colors used in them also show {#blank#}8{#/blank#} outgoing the owner is. For example, extroverts (性格外向者) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (find) to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality.

    Next time choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) first what kind of image we'd like to convey. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
