The first time I saw her  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She always keeps so calm through the show, which is very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for her age.” said Huang Zijin after watching the final show.

    Mr. Huang also said we would find Chinese cultured and taste the beauty of life by enjoying poems.

    When I was a little girl, every time my dad was repairing something, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}ask me to hold the hammer, and meanwhile, have a conversation with me. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.

    I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning, no matter what. Several years later I bought a house, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my dad painted by himself for three days in the 80-degree summer heat. All he asked was for me to talk to him. But I was always busy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(able) to find any time for conversation with him.

    One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(forget) some things we discussed {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(late). I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Later that day came a call {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say) my father was in hospital. Immediately I bought a ticket for a flight and on my way I was thinking about all the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss) occasions to have{#blank#}8{#/blank#}talk with my dad.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the time I got to hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I know about my dad, his deepest thoughts and dreams. After his death I learned more about him, and even more about myself.

    Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（break）out .

    Every year, over 11, 000 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（kill）or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（care）cause about 200 deaths and over 6,000 fires. More than half of those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 119for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（go）into a room, check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（slow）. If there's a rush of smoke or heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（other）in side.

    Now open the window and shout “Fire!”. See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（long）before dropping. Once outside, stay outside and make sure the fire department is called.

    Felicity Miller, a 32-year-old British woman, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} has a Chinese husband, still remembers the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (excite) when she first learned to use the "red packet" function on WeChat in 2015. She sent and grabbed some red packets in her Chinese family's group. The rule in her family was that the person who grabbed the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (high) amount sent the next.

    Attracted by the unique way of communicating, many foreigners {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (join) in sending and grabbing red packets so far. Usually, the money in each packet is random. Thus the amount of money one can grab {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (large) depends on his or her luck, from 0.01 yuan to less than 200 yuan. Many foreigners get more familiar {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese culture through "red packets". Two years ago, when Felicity Miller was sent 5.20 or 8.88 yuan red packets, she had no clue about the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (hide) meanings. Now, she has not only known about {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, but also has sent a few.

    However, the popularity of virtual red packets doesn't stop people sending paper red packets {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (contain) real cash during the Spring Festival. It is called lucky money. In Chinese tradition, people take giving children lucky money as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} blessing.
