July 20, 1969 was an important day. Two {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (美国) astronauts planted the first human footstep on the moon. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (他们的) names were Armstrong and Aldrin. They went into a spaceship whose name was Apollo. As Armstrong reached his left foot {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （touch） the moon's surface, he said, "That's one small step for a man, but one big leap for mankind."

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} two hours and twenty-one minutes, the man carefully at first and then {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (勇敢), walked on the moon, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （take）photos and picking stones.

    After eight {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (day) stay in space, Apollo returned to the earth successfully. People everywhere were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (excite) by this moon trip. "This is the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (伟大) week in the history of the world since the Creation(创世)," President Nixon told the travelers. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（多亏，由于）what you have done, the world has never been closer together before."

    Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities, where people are able to make full use of the rapidly-developing Internet technology. Nowadays, can we find a person {#blank#}1{#/blank#} has not experienced online shopping? Definitely not.

    Online shopping {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (welcome) by most people due to various reasons. For the consumers, it can save some time for people who don't have much spare time. Just click the mouse, they can get what they want while {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(stay) at home. For the retailers (零售商), it can cut some costs for those who don't have lots of funds. Compared with the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tradition) trade mode, it doesn't need to rent a house.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, there are still some disadvantages in online shopping. First, a face-to-face deal makes online shopping {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (little) reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose {#blank#}7{#/blank#} fun of bargaining.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is undeniable (不可否认的) that shopping on the Internet has become a popular trend in modem society. We need to make the relative laws in agreement {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (convenient) of online shopping without the concern of being cheated.

    Chengdu has dozens of new millionaires, Asia's biggest building, and new fancy hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (attract)．

    So it was a great honor to be invited backstage at the not for profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (allow) to get close to these cute animals at the 600­acre center. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (official) given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes back {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my days on a TV show in the mid­1980s, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I was the first Western TV reporter {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (introduce) British visitors to the 120­plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.

    On my recent visit, I held a lively three­month­old twin that had been rejected by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) mother. The nursery team switches him every few{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (day) with his sister so that while one is being bottle ­ fed, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} other is with mom—she never suspects.

People eat rice all over the world

    Rice {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (believe) to have been first grown in China or possibly somewhere else in eastern Asia around 10,000 years ago. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} earliest evidence of rice farming comes from a 7,000-year-old site near the lower Yangtze River village of Hemudu in Zhejiang province in China.

    Rice is a kind of food which requires much labor. In developed countries, the planting and harvesting is done {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(most) with machines. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, in much of the world, these things are still largely done by hand. It takes one farmer 1,000 to 2,000 working hours {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(raise)a rice crop on 2.5 acres of land. The fact that rice needs so much labor means{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(keep)a lot of the population on the land.

    Rice is also a crop {#blank#}7{#/blank#} need of lots of water. The wet rice grown in most of Asia needs hot weather after a period of rain and conditions provided by the rainy seasons affect many of the places {#blank#}8{#/blank#} rice is grown.

    Rice straws(稻杆）{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave)in the fields add nutrients(营养物)to the soil after rice is harvested(收割). For the next crop, rice farmers can often enjoy a good harvest by adding little {#blank#}10{#/blank#} no fertilizer.(肥料)

    Ne Zha, China's animated blockbuster hit of the summer, is ready {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hit) North American theaters later this month.

    Well Go USA Entertainment, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} distribution company specializing in bringing top Asian film titles to US cinemas, will release the film in select 3D IMAX theaters across North America on Aug 29, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (follow) by a nationwide expansion on Sept 6.

    Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Yang Yu, also known {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Jiaozi, the film {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (tell) of Ne Zha, a boy born as a social outcast (弃儿)because of a divine prophecy(神的预言) {#blank#}6{#/blank#}he would destroy the world. He tries to change his predetermined fate and people's views of him by choosing good over evil and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (become) their true hero.

    Built on a successful{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (adapt) of Chinese folk tale and excellent word-of-mouth, the film - the first Chinese animated film is proving to have long legs at the box office.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} a total box office of 4.1 billion yuan ($582 million) and counting, Ne Zha is the best-received animated feature ever in China, and the fourth{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (large) theatrical release in the country's box office history.

How to Become a Morning Person?

You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.

Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something {#blank#}3{#/blank#}matters.

It's not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(become) a morning person is more doable than you think.

I first learned that mornings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer's schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.

Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Getup an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.

But many will argue：I'm not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they're spending the hours before bed, they'll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don't mean {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn't like in high school anyway.

A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.
