I was nine years old when I learnt to ride a bike. The bike was a birthday present from my uncle. You can imagine how{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (excite) I was when I saw the bike, and I begged my uncle to teach me how {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (ride) it right away. However, before I got on the bike, I felt {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (extreme)  nervous and l  was  afraid  that l  would  fall  off and hurt {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (me).My uncle held onto the seat and helped me to get {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the bike. While l was riding, he was running along beside me, holding the seat so I would not fall over. I was so{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (grate) to him for his help.

    As I was practicing, I became more and more confident. Then, I heard my uncle shouting, "You are riding it by yourself now!" I was both excited and scared. I was really riding by myself, but{#blank#}7{#/blank#} if I fell off? Could I use the brakes to stop? As I was wondering about this, my uncle ran after me and got hold of the bike. I{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (slow) down and came to a stop. My heart was still beating fast when I got off the bike. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (late) that day, having learnt how to get on the bike and get off it, I felt like l was walking on air! I am still thankful to my uncle for teaching me to ride a bike on my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (nine) birthday.

    A television series is fast gaining its word-of-mouth {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (popular) among not only Chinese households but also some foreigners. The drama, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) In the Name of the People, offers viewers, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (particular) foreigners, an opportunity to better understand China's politics and culture and also the nations' iron-fist resolve in the fight {#blank#}4{#/blank#} corruption(腐败) among the country's officials.

Before that, the discussion of this topic was widespread {#blank#}6{#/blank#} mostly remains private in Chinese society.

    “I was quite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (impress) by the jaw-dropping scene {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the cash hidden on a giant wall was found in a low-level official's house. It is a bribe(行贿)he's accepted which is worth 230 million yuan (about 33 million U. S. dollars)”, said Eric Ivarsen from Norway, a master's student {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (major) in the public management and social development at the University of Chinese Academy of Science.

    “My subject has a very high requirement of knowledge about Chinese politics and culture.
