    As one of "China's new four great inventions", China's high-speed rail eyes the world again with "Fuxing". It is proud of a top speed of 400 km/h and a continuous speed of 350 km/h. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (total) designed and produced by Chinese engineers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} any help from the West.

    China's high-speed train is not only known for its amazing speed, but also for its safety and comfort. Last year, it safely carried 1.4 billion {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, or the total population of Africa and South America {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (combine).

    In 2015, a video taken by a Swedish traveler became popular on social media both at {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and abroad. In the nine-minute video, a coin stood upright all the time on a fast-running high-speed train. It shows the steadiness (稳定) of China's high-speed train, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) visitors a comfortable travelling experience.

    In your daily life, there are many examples where your parents control hundreds {#blank#}1{#/blank#} things for you when you are a kid, such as the clothes you wear, the food you eat, where you go and how you get there. It is a good thing. Kids need this kind of{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (protect) and help because they are not old enough to take care of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and make decisions{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (correct). But with you growing{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(old), the part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(separate) from your parents'. Different attitudes towards events like partying may lead to arguments, because your parents will always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are. As {#blank#}7{#/blank#} result, your parents feel it hard to get used to the new situation with{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (increase) anxiety. What kids should keep in mind is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in most cases, your parents can relate to what you're going through because they {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) teens once.

    Diet and way of life are often a problem for teenagers. However, if you eat the right food and exercise {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(regular), you can feel better, look better and have more energy. So healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably {#blank#}2{#/blank#} first step to become fit.

    As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy {#blank#}3{#/blank#} needs. For a healthy diet, you should eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. The most important thing to remember when you choose food is to protect yourself {#blank#}4{#/blank#} some tricks. A number of people out there who want to make quick money are always fooling you into {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(believe) what they say so their products can sell well. Don't be tricked by them. What you need is just to trust a diet that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) right for your body.

    Exercise is also something on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you can depend to make you look good, feel good and be healthy. It is obvious that exercise is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (benefit) to you.

    Visiting Xi'an was once my dream. It became a reality when I was admitted to a training course in China along with two other {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lady). Finally, the day arrived {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I landed at Xianyang International Airport in early August. As soon as I landed, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (feel) a change in the atmosphere. I saw people standing in queues {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wait) for their turn at the immigration desk. Afterwards, we were transported to the office in the International Exhibition Center. China had invited participants {#blank#}5{#/blank#} twenty-three developing countries to share digital television broadcasting techniques with them.

    In my 20 days in Xi'an, I got the opportunity to observe Chinese Culture closely, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} thus it left an unforgettable mark on me. Now, Xi'an is like my second home. Since I came back to Pakistan, I have been missing Xi'an {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad).

    My 20-day stay in Xi'an was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} great experience. It was a learning opportunity, and also a chance to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (broad) my understanding of diversity. I learned that despite differences of colors, heights, races and religions, all human beings {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tie) by the bond of humanity, and that the future of nations is global with development and peace.

Every region in the world is easy to identify by the kind of clothing traditionally worn there. Clothing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is traditionally worn in Germany is unique too. The clothes that men and women wear traditionally tell us a lot about the country {#blank#}2{#/blank#}its culture.

To actually understand the German clothing of the years that have gone by, it is important {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (understand) the concept of clothing. It allows people to know certain things about another person. These details include the marital status, the place of origin, and the trade. According to these details, the clothing patterns changed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (slight). And as time goes by, these clothing patterns have become more complete, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (result) in common designs.

There are German pants called lederhosens. The pants are made of leather. The pants are also worn by young boys. Lederhosens worn in the Bavarian region have {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feature) such as suspenders (吊裤带)and front flaps? and these are quickly adopted by other countries. These pants {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(wear) with shirts and sweaters made of linen (亚麻布)or wool. Other clothes teamed with the pants are wool stockings and country shoes.

Today there {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) several clubs and societies that are devoted to the preservation of traditional German clothes. These societies are working towards reviving the clothing traditions so that more people choose to wear them {#blank#}9{#/blank#}occasions like weddings, festivals, etc. They think it is a patriotic (爱国的)sign to show {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) pride in motherlands.
