My wife and I like watching plays, so we will go to the theater whenever we have time. But before we buy tickets, we would like to know if the play is good or bad. When a new play comes, we{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) read the newspaper to get information about it. Last week a new play was put on at the theater. The newspaper said it was very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (interest) so we decided to go on Saturday night. My wife took a long time to make her {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (decide) about what to wear and we left our house a little late. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the time we got to the theater, the first act had already{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (begin). After the play was over, we met some friends,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} lived next to us several years ago. Then we went dancing. By the time we got home, it was about two o clock in the morning. I'm not used to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) out so late and I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (extreme) tired.

    When I was younger, I did not have the money to go out for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}evening like this. Though I can afford it now, I don't have the energy{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (enjoy) it.

    It's never easy for {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Asia athlete to shine in track and field events. But Su Bingtian 28,  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. (know) as the "Chinese flying man", became the first male Chinese sprinter to win a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (globe) medal in an individual event. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}March 3, he took the silver in the men's 60m final at the World Indoor Championships in the UK. In the final, Su Bingtian ran his personal best of 6.42 seconds,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (break) the Asian record of 6.43, which he also set last month in Germany.

    The last time a Chinese athlete achieved a milestone was in 2004, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . Liu Xiang won a gold medal in Athens in the 110m hurdles. Inevitably, Su{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(compare) to Liu. "Liu Xiang is my idol and also my friend," Su told Xinhua News Agency.

    As a matter of fact, Su had expected {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (win) a bronze during the final. "There is no difference between silver {#blank#}9{#/blank#}bronze. Even a bronze could prove that Chinese sprinters have made breakthroughs in major world {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(compete)," he said.

Trees, plants and flowers are all around us and we enjoy their beauty every day. However, we are so used to them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we may even take them for granted without {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(realize) how much inspiration they have given us. In fact, nature has inspired many of the most {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fascinate) designs around us, including those in architecture. Nature {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (present) in various architectural designs.

Today, architects continue to explore ways {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (capture) the beauty of natural forms, to mimic the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building. ArtScience Museum, Singapore was designed to show the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (connect) between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits. Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(true) captures the beauty of natural forms. Harare's Eastgate Centre is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} superb example of biomimicry (仿生学). To use biomimicry is to create structures {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(base) on natural forms and processes. Creating buildings such as these enables us to live {#blank#}10{#/blank#} closer harmony with our environment.
