I was living a life in my screen and hardly noticed what{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be)around me. I was always checking the time and thinking of future{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(plan). My thought was:“Who's going to text me now? What will I do next?” My bedtime routine was usually centered

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} one thing: my phone. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I went to sleep, I browsed through news websites and checked my emails. When I woke upin the middle of the night. I did the something. The problem with this was that I felt anxious every night.

        So when my friends invited me {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(go)for a long weekend camping withoutthe cell service, I thought this was {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(exact)what I needed. Here's how {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (keep)away from my phone for 48 hours changedme and my way of life.

        Without my phone, I {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fall) asleep listening to the songs offrogs and crickets. In the  morning, I woke upenergy．Sitting by the river, riding a bike, or singing theold songs, I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (true)enjoyed what I was doing.

        I felt free without my phone at weekend camp, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} changed me completely. I listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me to do.

     How time flies! I will be a senior high school student this term. I am very excited and nervous. I feel excited because I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) more knowledge from my new teachers.  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (especial), I can learn more about English, math, physics, chemistry and biology. I think they are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(interest). I can meet many new {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) in senior high school as well. I think they,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (I) new friends, will be friendly and kind-hearted. I believe I will get along well {#blank#}6{#/blank#}all of my new classmates. As {#blank#}7{#/blank#}saying goes, “A friend is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) to be lost than found.” If you want to make friends with others, you should treat them true-heartedly. It is really hard,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} I will try.

I feel nervous because I heard that it is difficult{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(study) in senior high school. I think I will meet many problems. But it's nothing serious, because I know if I work hard, I will be successful at last.

    If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is Wikipedia. This online encyclopedia is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (write) by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they are not university professors.

    What is more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 253 languages. This fact makes it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the few websites (网站) on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( put on) Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles are in English. Wikipedia is also a place {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people can find the latest news.

    However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate and some important subjects are not included. This has led to arguments between the writers of the articles. The people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) Wikipedia say that the accuracy of the information is improving and that it is one of the top 20 visited websites on the Internet.

    So, if you are looking for some information, why not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (try) Wikipedia?

    Across the world people prepare and drink tea in many {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(difference) ways. The handmade purple clay teapot (紫砂壶) is one of the most popular{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(item)among tea lovers in Asia. But the skill of making that particular teapot faces a lot of challenges in modern times.

    Chinese people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(drink)tea for thousands of years. And {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(recent), these handmade teapots have become popular. As an old saying goes, "A thing is valued if it is rare."

    Tea sets (茶具) have been a key part of Chinese culture. Gao Dezhi, 99, has been making purple clay teapots since he was 13 years old. Usually, this kind of skill {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(pass) down from generation to generation or taught to those {#blank#}6{#/blank#} are crazy about the craft. Gao says that his son and daughter are not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(interest) in learning such skills. They already earn a lot of money by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) in other jobs. People cannot make such things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they have no interest in learning the skill, he says.

    In order to protect skills {#blank#}10{#/blank#} disappearing, local people have built a special museum where masters can show their craft.
