Disneynature's new true life adventure film “Born in China” takes a journey into the wilds of China {#blank#}1{#/blank#} few people have ever gone. Following the stories of three animal families, the film transports audiences to some of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  most extreme environments on Earth to witness some deeply moving {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (moment). A caring panda mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (independent) actively. A two-year-old golden monkey who feels unhappy with his new baby sister {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (run) away from home to join up with a group of free-spirited monkeys. And a mother snow leopard (雪豹)—an animal {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (rare) caught on camera—faces the real challenge of raising her two babies. Featuring {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (astonish), never-before-seen images, the film guides audiences through China—from the icy mountains {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  the heart of the bamboo forest—on the wings of red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤), smoothly tying the extraordinary tales together.

    “Born in China”,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (direct) by accomplished Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, is a co-production of Disneynature and Shanghai Media Group. Disneynature is partnering with World Wildlife Fund and donating a percentage of ticket sales {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (help) protect pandas and snow leopards in China.

    One night four college kids{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stay) out late, partying and having a good time. They paid no mind{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the test they had scheduled for the next day and didn't study.In the morning,they hatched a plan to get out of{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (take) their test.They covered{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) with grease（润滑油）and dirt and went to the Dean's office{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (nervous).Once there, they said they{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) to a wedding the previous night and on the way back they got{#blank#}7{#/blank#} flat tire and had to push the car back to campus.

    The Dean listened to their sad story and got lost in deep{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think).Then he offered them a retest three days later.They thanked him and accepted his offer.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the test day arrived, they went to the Dean.The Dean put them ail in separate{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (room) for the test.They were fine with this since they had all studied hard.Then they saw the test.It had 2 questions.

    One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(leave) a space between each name.Then she told them to think of the nicest thing{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}took the rest of the class some time to finish the work,and then each handed in the{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(sheet).

    That Saturday,the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper,and listed what everyone else{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(say) about that person.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}Monday she gave each student his or her list.Before long,the entire class was smiling.“Really?” she heard their whisper.“I never{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(know) that I meant anything to anyone!” No one ever mentioned those papers in class again.She never knew{#blank#}8{#/blank#}they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter.The exercise had achieved its purpose.

    Several years{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(late),all her students started to gather around.One of them,Vicki,reached into her pocket,took out her wallet and showed her{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(wear) list to the group.“I carry this with me at all times.I think we all saved our lists.”That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried.

    During a recent Senior Three English lesson, the teacher {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(notice)Xiao Ming, a student, busily typing messages on her cellphone. To the teacher's surprise, Xiao Ming wasn't just texting her friends the latest small talk. She was blogging about what she was learning in the classroom, sharing her opinions {#blank#}2{#/blank#} her classmates. She said she {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(true)enjoyed doing that.

    The case caused {#blank#}4{#/blank#} heated discussion among teachers and students citywide. Miss Li, another English teacher said, “I am amazed at how {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(create)the students can be when writing on their blogs. To me it's a great way for students to improve their writing skills while writing about personal feelings and experiences.” But {#blank#}6{#/blank#} made other teachers worried was the blog addiction which may disturb the students' study.

    A supporter and classmate of Xiao Ming said, “We love her blog！ We all read it each day and can't wait to see what she writes about next. Many of her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(suggest)on study really help to encourage us. And we can relax {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(we)while reading her blog.” Another student blogger admitted that he often works late into the night,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(write)his blog. He said, “Sometimes I don't even have time {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(finish)my homework. I can't help myself. I really have a lot to say.”

    Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (travel) in his or her own country. Then the person in the other country paid for that part of the trip.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a letter crossed several countries, the problem was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (bad).

    Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of a postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 1840.They were the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue. A person {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (buy) a stamp and stuck it on a letter. The post office delivered {#blank#}6{#/blank#} letter. When people received letters, they didn't have to pay anything. The letters were prepaid.

    Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (immediate).Other countries started making {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) own postage stamps very quickly. Today, post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (collect) stamps is one of the most popular {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hobby) in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue.

This is where my kids grew up

    For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is more than just a building. In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines. Every growth stage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mark) in pencils, with each child's name and the date.

    Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hard) to leave behind. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress. Friends I know have visited their previous home only {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(discover) their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about it.

    They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} work is about capturing the beautiful things in life. She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we had experienced in all those years. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(transform) them into a beautiful history of my family.

    Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me —{#blank#}10{#/blank#} life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
