{#blank#}1{#/blank#}we all know, cultural relics belong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the people all over the world. Nowadays, more and more people are interested in the topic about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}to protect cultural relics such as places of interest, old city {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wall), folk arts and so on. Some even advise {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(devote) to new culture exhibitions in order to educate the public. As {#blank#}6{#/blank#}matter of fact, the Chinese government has been {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(concern) about the topic and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) measures. At the same time, more and more foreigners are coming to enjoy Chinese culture,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we are sure the interest in Chinese relics abroad will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great).

    There are two ways to look at this question {#blank#}1{#/blank#}relating to eggs in general or to the chicken egg specifically. Either way, the answer is the same: the egg came before the chicken.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the case of eggs in general, animals such as dinosaurs were laying eggs long before the modern chicken came into existence,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (mean) that in this sense, the egg predated (早于) the chicken by thousands of years. As for the chicken egg specifically , according to NPR's Robert Krulwich, the modern chicken{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hatch 孵化) from an egg, meaning the egg came first.

    The key to understanding the answer, and indeed the question itself, is to understand what the question is getting at. The dilemma is to understand {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a chicken-like bird transformed into{#blank#}6{#/blank#} is known as a modern chicken after being hatched or whether two chicken-like birds {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (lay) and fertilized an egg that then hatched a fully formed chicken. In this case, the latter option is the most realistic, therefore answering the question of which came first.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (essential), a bird that was similar to a hen and another bird that is similar to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} rooster combined their genetic material, leading to a gene mutation (突变) that resulted in the chicken that is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) known and loved today.

    Our experience at the Children's Medical Care Center was eye-opening. We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(treat). We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. The children, though {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(suffer) such great pains, were so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them than we {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(expect).

    One day, an incident deeply touched us. A girl suggested that she {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) us how to fold paper. She taught us with great patience, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(explain) each step clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended to know nothing about it. We followed her, step by step, doing everything {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she told us. Finally, when we finished our work {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(succeed), she gave each of us a big hug. We could see the pride on her face. Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. And it was not until then {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.

    Many stories happened at the center. It was really a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(value) experience to us all, enriching our life {#blank#}10{#/blank#}a positive way.

    There is no doubt that friendship is one of the most valuable things in our life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is very difficult to find a better definition(定义) of friendship. A true friend is the person {#blank#}2{#/blank#}can share all our sadness and double all our happiness. In time of trial(尝试) , he or she is always at our side to give us help and comfort.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(know) how precious friendship is, we should be very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (care) with our choice of a friend. Better choose those people with a good character {#blank#}5{#/blank#} our friends. Besides, we should forgive their mistakes and try to help them as much as possible.

    A true friend can always{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(trust), loved and respected. If you tell a friend your secrets, he or she won't tell {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Friends share their joys and sorrows. They help each other go {#blank#}8{#/blank#}difficulty, and cheer each other up when they are sad. The most important thing{#blank#}9{#/blank#} should be noted is that a friend always understands you. In {#blank#}10{#/blank#} word, a life without a friend is a life without a sun.

    One day, I was walking in the street when I noticed a woman {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(come) up to me with a nervous smile and said,“Sir, can you help a person out? I haven't eaten for almost two days.” I handed {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(she) a few quarters and watched her walk away.

    That area was so poor and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(rule) by drugs and crimes. I walked to the corner and stopped by the door of the ATM machine. Then I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(walk) inside and made sure that no one came in behind me.

    I put my card into the machine and deposited my money with a sigh of relief.60.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I turned to leave, I saw a wallet sitting on another machine. I had a look at it. The name on the license was one I could not pronounce, but whoever he was, he was going to get into a panic over a wallet {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his identification in it being lost in this city.

    I put it in my pocket and went home. In my apartment, I checked the online phone book {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(find) out whether there was someone who matched the name on the cards in the wallet, but without luck. I picked up the bank card and had {#blank#}8{#/blank#} thought. Because I wanted to help the guy, I called his bank. But the girl over the phone said they could not give out any personal information about their clients. So I left my contact information with her and asked her to tell the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(own) to contact me. Two days later, a very {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(thank) gentleman appeared at my office and I gave him back his wallet.

    Ahead of this year's London Book Fair in March, media reported a rise in interest in translated works among British readers. For translator Anna Holmwood, this signals the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (arrive) of a new era.

    "This is a big moment for Chinese fiction abroad," says Holmwood, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has translated Chinese literature for almost a decade.

    Her translation work, Legends of the Condor Heroes, a fantasy novel written by Jin Yong, and Liu Cixin's science-fiction book, The Three Body Problem, are shown in a Nielsen report {#blank#}3{#/blank#} examples of two of the most popular Chinese fiction works in Britain in 2018.

    "Languages in growing demand include Chinese and Arabic." according to the Nielsen report. It found that, against the commonly {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) "not more than 3 percent rule" of translated literature's presence in the English-language book markets, the number for 2018 was 5.63 percent in Britain {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the total annual sales was worth $27.1 million.

    Charlotte Collins, translator and co-chair of the British Translators Association, says: "As we can see, this proportion (比率) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (double) in recent years... This is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (real) exciting news."

    The Guardian quotes (引用) Fiammetta Rocco, administrator of the Man Booker International Prize, "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (read) fiction is one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) ways of putting ourselves in other people's shoes. The rise in sales of translated fiction {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) how hungry British readers are for terrific writing from other countries."
