I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in my country in Indonesia. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

When I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport，the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop. Finally，I found a nice coffee shop with many people queuing(排队) to order. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me. I said that I would like to have a cup of tea. The she asked me, "{#blank#}3{#/blank#}"I thought she was making a morning joke with me. So I said "Red tea，please." With a very unfriendly face, she asked me again，"Black or white tea，please？" {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I didn't know what actually black or white tea was. I only knew that having tea is normally with or without sugar.

One day I had a cup of tea at the University tea room. I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it. Then I asked her，"{#blank#}5{#/blank#}"She smiled and said，"Yes，you can." At that moment, I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk. How big is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!

    It is a fine Sunday morning. Ann and her mother are on a big bus. There are many people on it. Some of them come from America, and some come from England and Canada. They are going to the Great Wall.

    There are only two Chinese on the bus. One is the woman. She is driving the bus. The other is a young man. He is their guide and can speak English very well. Now he is talking with an American girl. Other people are listening to them. They are very interested in the Great Wall. They want to see it very much.

    I have just finished reading the lovely book called Daddy Long Legs written by Jean Webster.

    Judy was a girl who was always positive about life though she was an orphan(孤儿) living in a small village for 18 years. Then one day a man came and decided to send her to college, which later totally changed Judy's life. He asked Judy to write him a letter once a month to tell him what she had learned at school. But he would never reply to her letter. The different life between the village and the college made Judy fully realize the beauty of life and she cherished every moment of her life. She never asked too much about life. Her only quarrel (争吵) with life was that time ran too fast. She caught up with other classmates so quickly although she had a quite different childhood from them, which at first did cause her a lot of trouble. The story of Judy was told in the form of letters which were also written by Judy herself. When I was reading the letters, I was touched by Judy's character.

    I am wondering whether you have ever read it and I am sure that you will be deeply moved by the unexpected and romantic ending if you are a teenage girl. In a word, Daddy Long Legs is worth reading.

The music starts. A Sichuan Opera performer(表演者) dances to the music and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} changes face masks(变换脸谱). 

 The performer is Yin Qiuhua. Yin is 19 years old. She is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} from other performers. She was born with Down syndrome(唐氏综合征). 

 Zhao Haiying is Yin's mother. She wanted {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her daughter life skills(技能) and took Yin to learn different things. Zhao said, "She is young and I can't take care of her all the time. My biggest wish was to find a useful skill for her so she can make a living. " Yin {#blank#}4{#/blank#} many things like the violin and the folk dance. But she didn't do well {#blank#}5{#/blank#} any of them. 

 Things began to change in 2021, when Zhao met Lin Chun, a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese opera teacher. Lin Chun took Yin as a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and taught her the face-changing art of Sichuan Opera. The face-changing skill is difficult to learn {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it was also difficult to talk with Yin. Lin had to show the moves over and over again. During the first year, Yin practiced for up to eight {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a day. After about 18 months of training, Yin gave {#blank#}10{#/blank#} first show at an activity in Nanchong. "The performance went very well. Yin is excellent, " Lin said. 

 Yin's story {#blank#}11{#/blank#} the hearts of many people. "We should not give up on our children. We should try our best to bring out what they are good at, " Zhao said. 

I was at the grocery（食品杂货） shop picking up last-minute thing for dinner. When I was about to leave, I 1 noticed from the corner of my eye some flowers. They were the most 2 flowers I had ever seen. They were, as I later learned, peonies（牡丹）.

I was going to buy myself flowers that I'd never done this before. On the way home, I wondered 3 I had never really been attracted （吸引） by any flowers before.

Growing up in England, my immigrant（移民） family never regarded flowers as 4 since being alive was the most important to us. Our small garden was filled with 5 , as Mom and Dad often said, "These will keep us alive if we can't get them from the shop, 6 flowers won't."

Though Mum was badly ill, she would also make flatbread. The 7 of the bread really comforted us. The taste of the flatbread 8 the pressure of our life. All these let us live in England 9 .

When Mother's Day came, Mom would say, "Why not avoid 10 money on flowers? They'll just die. Buy shoes or coats instead." So, we kids made food for her at home.

My mother passed away years ago after a long 11 . I was trapped in great pain. If she were still alive today, she'd probably 12 her head when she saw me buying flowers. She wouldn't come back. But still, I wish I'd had the chance to 13 her this beautiful flower and buy it for her on Mother's Day.

"Look, Mom," I raised my voice. "I bought myself a peony. Thank you 14 giving up your home and life to come to this country. Because of that, I could have chances that 15 never had, and so I could give myself these unnecessary but beautiful flowers."
