I've lived in three Asian cities,and they all surprised {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(I) on the upside.In the case of China,here's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}I like it.

    It's modern and continues to develop all the time.They have modern {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(city),and excellent transport facilities, including their unmatched high-speed train network.They have excellent hotels,restaurants,and beautiful parks etc.

    There's a feeling of safety and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(free) in Chinese cities.There's no need to tell you what to do and you can see from the behavior of the diverse crowd.People just do {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they want.In most places no policemen {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(see).Do you know that police in China don't have firearms? They usually do their job silently and behave reasonably, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (add) to the security and order.

    The Chinese people are friendly.You will always get help even if you can't speak a Chinese word besides nihao, or they can't speak English.They'll spend time and go out of their way {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(explain) to you how to get somewhere,or how to buy {#blank#}9{#/blank#}train ticket.They'll {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(patient) and enthusiastically explain how to get what you need.They'll be positive and practical all the time while helping you.

    Charlie Chaplin was considered to be one of the most popular {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (star) in the early days of films. He brightened the lives of people throughout the world {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) his perfect acting.

    Charlie was born in a poor family and lived {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hard life in his childhood. His parents were both poor hall performers,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} didn't make much money. Therefore, at a very young age, Charlie had to learn {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(sing) and dance. By his teens, his subtle acting had become so entertaining{#blank#}6{#/blank#} no one in England was ever bored watching him mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. In 1972, he won a special Oscar {#blank#}7{#/blank#} his outstanding work in the films that he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in. He made people laugh even when they felt depressed. And no one has done {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (well) than him up to now.

    Charlie lived in England and the USA but {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(spend) his last years in Switzerland, where he died of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (nature) causes on December 25, 1977.

    If you walk through the park in the morning, you are probably used to seeing{#blank#}1{#/blank#}series of beautiful movements performed in a slow, focused manner with deep breathing.

    Today, Tai Chi's incredible powers are shown in its popularity. Millions of lovers of Tai Chi around the world are using the form of martial arts (武术){#blank#}2{#/blank#} an important healthcare practice to get control of their health, manage stress and slow down the process of gelling old. On Mar3, a new report from London showed that Tai Chi had helped hundreds of older people in Britain's capital to Slav{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fit) than ever.

    In traditional Chinese culture, often Tai Chi {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (link) to the Chinese idea of yin and yang, the idea that one can see two sides in everything. According to a legend, one day Taoist Zhang Sanfeng saw a hawk attacking a snake in the Wudang Mountains.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (inspire) by the snake's defense, he created a set of 72 movements{#blank#}6{#/blank#} used softness and power from inside to defeat brute (残暴的) force.

    Tai Chi can be practiced anytime and anywhere without{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (equip) or gymnasium. Of course Tai Chi's benefits go beyond physical {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. For Marleni Calcina from Peru, who has practiced Tai Chi for more than 10 years, it's not only a sport, but also a way of life, It's Tai Chi{#blank#}9{#/blank#} has taught her how to “gain peace and inner harmony”. “For me now, practiced Tai Chi is like{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (speak) with my soul,” she says.

    We all make mistakes more than once. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hope), we learn from them finally. We all have wishes that we can't make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(come) true. We all make a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (judge) of other people and then find out they are really nice people. And we don't know what difficulty they have gone through in life {#blank#}4{#/blank#}has made them who they are. We all get jealous(嫉妒的) of others even if we shouldn't. We should be secure enough in ourselves and our partners and we should be happy for our friends when they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(success) in something.

    We are all humans and have human{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel). That doesn't make us bad people {#blank#}7{#/blank#}that's part of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}makes us human .We just have to remember: when we have bad thoughts we have to turn {#blank#}9{#/blank#}into positive ones.

    We all have to be{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(thank) for what we have. Be kind to yourself and others and you will be happy.

    Have you ever wondered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}children always seem to have bags of energy and never run out of steam? Researchers have discovered that children have the levels of recovery of endurance athletes. In fact, scientists say children's muscles recover from "high-intensity exercise" a lot{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick) than athletes. A study looked at the performance levels of children when they were cycling, and compared their fitness to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of athletes. Researcher Dr Sebastien Ratel suggested they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (find) the children used more of their aerobic metabolism and were therefore less tired during the high-intensity physical activities. The children also recovered very quickly-even faster than the well-trained adult endurance athletes.

    The researchers hope that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they) findings will help scientists have a better{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand) how the human body changes with age. It could lead to advances in the fight {#blank#}7{#/blank#} diabetes and other diseases. Dr Ratel said the research was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(particular) important as more children were become less active. He warned: "With the diseases related to physical inactivity{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(rise), know the changes with growth that might contribute to the risk of disease. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is helpful for children to maintain their fitness as they grow up and play as much as they could so they remain healthy as adults.

    Wallace's giant bee is the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (large) bee, with a body the size of a human thumb and wings that can spread to about 2.5 inches. That may sound {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (frighten), but the bee isn't likely to hurt anyone. It uses its large jaws (嘴) to collect a sticky goo, called resin, from trees. The bee {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) its home in termite mounds (白蚁丘) found on trees, using the resin to protect its nest from the termites. Until recently, the bee had been seen by scientists only {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (two), once in 1868 and again in 1981.
