    West Lake Dragon Well tea has topped list of  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ten most famous teas in China. The superior geographical environment and good quality water resources around West Lake have contributed much to the growth of Longjing tea.

    Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (visit) Lion Peak Moutain during his Hangzhou travels, and he saw several  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lady) picking the tea at the foot of the mountain. He was so interested in it that he decided to have a try himself.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} picking the tea, he received the news of his mother s illness, so he  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (careless) put the leaves in his right sleeve and left Hangzhou for Beijing. He visited his mother immediately upon his  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (arrive) in Beijing, and Empress Dowager smelt the fragrance of the leaves in his sleeve and wanted to have a taste. Emperor Qianlong ordered some tea for Empress Dowager, and she found  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she) completely refreshed after  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (drink) a cup of tea, and she even praised it as a treatment for all ills. From then on, Shi Feng Longjing tea  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (list) as the tribute tea (贡茶）especially for Empress Dowager.

    In his book, Intentional Living, author John Maxwell shares that back in 1976, he received a gift from one of his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(assist). As he unwrapped the gift, he saw that it was a book {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(name) The Greatest Story Ever Told. He couldn't wait{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(read) it.

    But when he opened the book, he was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(astonish) to see that the pages were blank. Inside the book was{#blank#}5{#/blank#}note that said, “John, your life is before you. Fill these pages with kind acts and good thoughts of your heart. Write a great story about your life.” The intention of writing the story of his life excited him. Then, he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(begin) to write his book.

    Every day we live out our story through our words, actions and decisions. But we must remember to live with intention to focus on what{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(matter) most in life and to regain that focus when we get changed. Without intention, we can become unfocused in things{#blank#}8{#/blank#}needn't add to a life of significance and difference in our world.

    Life isn't perfect and it's always hard,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we need reminders in our life from a friend, author, blogger, pastor or our inner spirit to re-focus us on the things that matter and make us live{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(positive).

Gerrard Street in London's Chinatown

    Gerrard Street, which is between Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue, is the most important street in the area. There is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} unique community with many Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and shops.

    In the 1950s, it{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) a poor area and everything there was very cheap. With the world rice market changing, thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(move) to work in some restaurants in London. Many British people liked Chinese food, so the restaurants became popular. The workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (learn) English. Due to the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (arrive) of more Chinese, more shops and businesses grew up. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (wife) came and joined their husbands with their children. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.

    Since the 1970s, economy has changed for the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good), and the education state of British-born Chinese started to improve. Many families moved out {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinatown. Gerrard Street became a street only for visitors.

    London's Chinatown is very popular in Chinese New Year, during {#blank#}9{#/blank#} time thousands of Chinese go into the street with national flags. Londoners and tourists go there {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (main) for the food in the Chinese restaurants. Their favorite restaurants are where the Chinese eat.

    The more advanced technology becomes, the more it seems to have control over our lives. We shop, work, play, search for information and seek {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (chat) with each other online. Yet people are not arguing about this astonishing condition. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (believe) that people have readily embraced technology, seeking only the benefits but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (ignore) its drawbacks.

    It does not matter whether your home is in a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (noise) downtown or in the remote countryside. If you have a screen {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it can pick up a signal, your mind is still in the same placeless place. This place is the zone {#blank#}6{#/blank#} your mind will go when you stare at a screen, and it feels like your mind stops thinking.

    Recent developments in technology also led to a decline in normal social behaviors. In past ages, you could walk around town for a whole day without seeing all the people you know. Now, everyone you know is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} arm's reach, taking that certain psychological feeling out of seeing people. You can see them every second of every day, and hear nearly every single thought of theirs just as they hear {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you).

    In {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (conclude), modern technology can be a double-edged sword. They do have their advantages, but they can change our lives {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (complete).
