—Nothing new. Everything is going on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it was years ago.

    Last October, while tending her garden in Mora, Sweden, Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer, and she noticed a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.

    Pahlsson screamed{#blank#}3{#/blank#}loudly that her daughter came running from the house. "She thought I had hurt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(I)," says Pahlsson.

    Sixteen years {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters — then ten, eight, and six — had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. "I gave up hope of finding my ring again," she says. She never replaced it.

    Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden{#blank#}9{#/blank#}it remained until the carrot's leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was{#blank#}10{#/blank#}wonder.

    The Chinese Lunar(月球) Exploration Program is designed to be conducted in three stages: The first is simply reaching lunar orbit(轨道), a task{#blank#}1{#/blank#}complete) by Chang'e 1 in 2007 and Chang'e 2 in 2010. The second is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(land) on the Moon, as Chang'e 3 did in 2013 and Chang'e 4 in 2019. The third one is collecting lunar samples and sending them to Earth, a task for the future Chang'e 5 and Chang'e 6 missions. It{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) China's first sample return mission in December 2019.

Smiling

    Smile is a universal language, which is widely used throughout the world. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(amuse), but it can also indicate embarrassment. The following examples show this point of view:

    In an attempt to be open and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(friend), people in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other and this nonverbal communication shows being polite in the United States. But in China, smiling is not only {#blank#}4{#/blank#} expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer(嘲笑).For example, when a child {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fall) from a bike, the adults in China may smile, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.

    Related {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the smile is the laugh. Also, different cultures have different {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (meaning)about laugh. Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt belly laugh that comes from the deepest emotions while most Chinese may think {#blank#}10{#/blank#} silly to laugh that way.

    New Year in Chinese eyes is a family reunion. However, in foreigners' eyes, it is not only a kind of homesickness, but a spring migration(迁徙).Every year {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (see) the largest annual mass migration on the planet {#blank#}2{#/blank#} one sixth of the world's population travel home to celebrate {#blank#}3{#/blank#} their families. That is around a billion people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) 3.5 billion journeys in a 40-day period. Meanwhile, over 250 million rail journeys are made across China during the festival.

    Last year, 5.6 million rail tickets {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sell) in a single day. Every new year in the heartland of industrial China thousands upon thousands of motorcyclists brave the weather and hit the road, determined to make {#blank#}6{#/blank#} home.

    The Chinese New Year {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (celebrate) is also known as the Spring Festival. It lasts 15 days. It is the main holiday of the Chinese calendar. In modern China, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (search) for work, many people have to move away from home. And they will travel home to be with the loved ones during the Spring Festival. In Chinese New Year, modern and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (tradition) customs are brought together when the Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival. Nowadays, not only does China have the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (fast) growing modern cities in the world, but the landscapes are also truly diverse.

    "We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each other's minds. We know {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the other wants without asking. Sometimes we annoy each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (luck) I am to share my life with the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(great) woman I ever met."— Johnny Cash.
