My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong {#blank#}1{#/blank#} August 15, 2011. He had dreamed about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (visit) it since his boyhood and it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) the first time that he had been there. The following was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he had seen.

    Arriving there, he was happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (see) its beautiful scenery and tall buildings. It is said that Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (face) there. People in Hong Kong were easygoing and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (friend). To {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（he）surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} there were many people waiting in line for the next train at the subway station, they tried to talk in a low voice in order not to disturb(打扰) others. Chinese and English are their official(官方的) languages. English is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Mayun, founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, left his position as company chairman on Sept 10, 2018, according to an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (office) announcement.

    CEO Zhangyong would take over {#blank#}2{#/blank#} new chairman then. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) sure a smooth and successful transition(交接), Mayun would remain in his present role until Sept 10, 2019.

    Daniel Zhangyong, who will replace Mayun in 2019, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (call) an outstanding business leader by Mayun. Zhangyong has proven {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he) by leading Alibaba to realize thirteen months of  healthy and high-speed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (grow) over the past three years. He is also known as a key architect of the "Double Eleven" festival, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} has been copied by other platforms since then.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pass) the Alibaba torch(火炬) to Zhang yong and his team is the right decision at the right time," Ma yun said in a letter, "I feel {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) proud of this decision". When asked about his future plan, Ma yun said "I want to return to education because this is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I love to do".

    I crossed the street to avoid {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (meet) towards him, but he saw me and came {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（run） towards me. It was no use {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pretend) that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (come) with you. I had to think of a way of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (prevent) him from {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (follow) me around all morning.

    "Hello, Nigel," I said. "Fancy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (meet) you here!"

    "Hi, Elizabeth," Nigel answered. "I was just wondering how to spend the morning—until I saw you. You're not busy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (do) anything, are you?"

    "No, not at all," I answered. "I'm going to …"

    "Would you mind my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (come) with you?" he asked, before I had finished {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (speak).

    "Not at all," I lied, "but I'm going to the dentist."

    "Then I'll come with you," he answered. "There's always plenty to read in the {#blank#}12{#/blank#} (wait) room!"

    I felt butterflies in my stomach when I started calligraphy class ten years ago. I wondered what I was doing there. At that moment, I couldn't have known that I'd just made one of the best{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(choose) of my life.

    I sat down and listened to the teacher{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce) the tools of the craft. Then it was time for me to try my hand I took up the brush, using the correct gesture,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (dip) it in the ink, and carefully wrote "one"{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Chinese.

    After nearly five years of practicing. I started to make versions of well-known poems. Calligraphy seemed like a bridge,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}connected me to authors from centuries past. Stroke(笔画)by stroke, word by word, I could feel their emotions, cherished my own peace and learned{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(appreciate) my daily life.

    Now, calligraphy is not just{#blank#}7{#/blank#}hobby, it is a way to remove myself from the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (worry) of life. Rolling out the paper, I can write for a whole day. Calligraphy {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(able) me to balance my busy schedule and live{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(peace).
