In the western world, Chinese takeout with rice and forturne cookies(幸运饼干) is a popular kind of food. But this kind of Chinese food isn't very authentic(正宗的),it is very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} /`dɪfrənt/from real Chinese food. Now over the years, real Chinese{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(dish) have become more popular in foreign countries as well.

    Chinese people who live{#blank#}3{#/blank#} /ə`brɔ:d/introduced many of them. Some have been popular in foreign countries for many years{#blank#}4{#/blank#} others are new, like tanghulu. It is a traditional Chinese snack that is made{#blank#}5{#/blank#}fruit, usually Chinese hawthorns(山楂). The fruit is struck on a stick of bamboo. Then it is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cover) with sugar syrup(糖浆), which becomes hard after it cools down.

    Wang JiaLiang, a tanghulu vendor(摊贩)from China, sold 8,000 sticks in Russia {#blank#}7{#/blank#} one day. Tanghulu made him{#blank#}8{#/blank#}/ˈfeɪməs/ in Russia, with his picture {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(appear) in the local newspaper. In the Russian city of Vladiostok, the deputy mayor(副市长)is a big fan of the snack, always coming to buy it{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(he) from Wang JiaLiang.

Thank you{#blank#}1{#/blank#} {#blank#}2{#/blank#}me the news.

    Nowadays, many families keep a dog, a cat, a bird or a snake as a pet. Some c{#blank#}1{#/blank#}that live in big cities are very fond of keeping pets in the house, especially the old, because they always feel lonely at home. Thus, they can see the pets as their f{#blank#}2{#/blank#}members. Keeping pets around them is quite a good way for young parents to educate their children. What's more, pets can a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} look after the house when there's no one at home. Some of them even say that animals are as good as humans, and they should be r{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    However, others think that keeping pets is not good. They say that animals are noisy, dirty and dangerous. Taking the pets when taking public transport like buses is not so convenient, b{#blank#}5{#/blank#}other people might hate animals. They think some measures should be taken to stop people from keeping pets in cities and towns.

    I think that it depends on ourselves whether it's good to keep a pet or not. But if one keeps pets, he or she should wash pets r{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to keep them clean. In my opinion, pets are our good friends. Staying with pets, we shall enjoy happiness and feel relaxed. That is to say, keeping pets helps us to forget our u{#blank#}7{#/blank#}things for a moment. What's more, keeping pets lets us learn about life and death. We should love life.
