{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (locate) in a mountainous region of Chengde city, the Jinshanling Great Wall section is the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good) preserved part of the Great Wall from the Ming Dynasty with many {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (origin) features.

    Three towers are must-sees at the Jinshanling Great Wall. Each tower contains {#blank#}4{#/blank#} own legend. The General Tower was named to commemorate Wu Guihua, a heroine who sacrificed herself to resist invasions {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the north. The Black Tower and the Taochun Tower were named to commemorate two girls, Heigu and Taochun, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} made great contributions to the construction of the Great Wall.

    If you go, you will find yourself experiencing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (total) different scenery in four seasons. In spring, apricot flowers decorate the Great Wall. In summer, the winding dragon-shaped Great Wall {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surround) by a sea of green plants. In autumn, the Great Wall turns into a colorful place and in winter, heavy snow covers the Great Wall, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (add) a sense of magnificence and solemnity.

    The annual Apricot Flower Festival kicks off at the beginning of April. If you have time, you should witness the true {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (beautiful) of the China's landmark.

    It happened at a weekend in the 1970's. Mum gave me two tickets for a film, telling me she was too busy to go together with me with the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(end)housework. She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy. At that time, a ticket cost only 20 fen. But to me, a little girl of twelve, 20 fen seemed quite a lot.

    I reached the cinema {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hurry). Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. Just then a handsome young man, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} noticed me and the ticket, came towards me with a big smile, "You've got {#blank#}4{#/blank#} extra ticket？"

    "Yes, "I nodded.

    "That's great. Say how much？"

    "20 fen."

    "Oh, " he thought for a while and then took out a ten yuan note {#blank#}5{#/blank#} his wallet.

    "I'm terribly sorry, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I've only got this note." Seeing I was confused, he added, "Then how about waiting for a while {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I have changed it in the cinema's store？"

    Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked very fast. I could hardly keep up with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Soon he disappeared. I stood there {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(puzzle). Suddenly I realized the handsome young fellow {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cheat) me."

    Before long I found that he'd sold the ticket to a little boy. He earned 20 fen, but lost his honor!

    Many of us wake up {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (feel) tired in the morning. Many of us ignore the problem as the day goes on, forgetting that it might have a dangerous effect. Society even glorifies “burning the candle at both ends” as a sign of our {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(devote) to work and family.

    Believe {#blank#}3{#/blank#} or not, all this bad sleep has far-reaching consequences. We do not give ourselves enough chances to sleep. A survey of over 74,000 people found that 35% reported sleeping less than seven hours daily {#blank#}4{#/blank#} average. Furthermore, the quantity of sleep we allow ourselves {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (change) greatly over the past 15 years.

    This lack of sleep can lead to many serious {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (problem). One study found that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (simple) limiting yourself to six hours of sleep a night for two weeks made performance on a timed attention task as poor as if you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (stay) up all the night before.

    If you intend to try extending your sleep period, consider giving yourself a chance {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(sleep) longer for a full week. Your body clock might be programmed in a way {#blank#}10{#/blank#} keeps you from falling asleep quickly, but it might let you sleep longer.

    Hi, I've got something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (excite) to tell you. I was in an elevator yesterday and saw Robin Drexel, the famous movie star! I just stood there, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (freeze). I couldn't say a word. But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of a sudden, she turned to me, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (say), "Hello" too. Then she asked me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the restaurant was on the fifth floor, I told her I was going to the restaurant {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (my), and I offered to show her where it was. She said, "Oh, fine." Then she said, "Why don't we have lunch together?" Imagine! I never thought I would have lunch with a movie star! But I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do)! We had lunch together and talked for about half {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hour. She even paid for my lunch! Can you imagine? But that isn't all. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} lunch, she asked me if she could give me a ride to somewhere. I told her I was going home. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} she took me home in her big, black limousine (豪华轿车). It was an exciting day. That's all for now. I've got to run!

China successfully landed the Chang'e 4 lunar probe (月球探测器) on the far side of the moon on January 3, 2019, becoming the only country in history  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (touch) the lunar surface unseen by those on Earth. The far side of the moon has been seen and mapped {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(previous) by astronauts of the Apollo missions. But it is the first time that the moon's far side{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(set) foot on by spacecraft, and the successful landing of Chang'e 4 is seen as a major milestone in space{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(explore).

The Chang'e 4 spacecraft consists{#blank#}5{#/blank#}two parts: a lander and a rover (巡视器). Representing China's{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(new) step in the lunar probe project of all time, it landed at 10: 26 am of Beijing time. Then it sent back a photo of the landing place.{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(shoot) through cameras on the probe's lander, the photo marks the world's first image taken on the surface of the far side of the moon. One of the photos published by the China National Space Administration shows the place{#blank#}8{#/blank#}Chang'e 4's rover — named Yutu 2 — will be heading hours later for{#blank#}9{#/blank#}purpose of conducting further research. The name Chang'e has its roots in the Chinese goddess of the moon. In the ancient tale, Chang'e{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fly) to the heavens and landed on the moon as her final resting place.
