“Equal pay for equal work” is a phrase by the American women who feel they are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(fair) treated by society. They think it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}amount of work. Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man has to earn money to support his family and make important {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (decide), so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(work) at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (give) no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take up jobs, they will not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (able) to do the things that they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing {#blank#}7{#/blank#}children. Women who disagree say that they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and have {#blank#}8{#/blank#} freedom to choose between a job and home life,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} a mixture of the two. In fact women have the right not only {#blank#}10{#/blank#} equal pay but also to equal chances.

    Confucius(孔子) is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#} setting the tone for much traditional Chinese music for thousands of years. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) to be a music teacher and a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talent) musician who was able to play several instruments expertly. Perhaps for other people around the world, music was meant mainly for amusement.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500 BC, music had an important role in making society stable.

    How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate) somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.

    Musical knowledge was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (subject) to study, ranking music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.

    Music was so important because the ideal society was to be governed by ritual (礼制) functions, but not by law. In a culture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people function according to ritual, music is used to help govern them. So music wasn't really {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain), but a means for musicians to accomplish political and social goals. Music is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eventual) a means for social happiness.

    When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poets{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (think) when they wrote or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we'd created the poem{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (we). Will a poem still mean as much if a compute writes it?

    By{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (use) algorithms (算法) , computers can now create all kinds of text, including research papers, books, news, stories and even poems. Computer-generated poems might be correct in both grammar and style, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}some say they still lack {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (create) and true meaning.

    Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz created a website{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(call) "bot or not". On his site, you can read poems and guess whether they{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(write) by a human or a computer. Schwartz recently gave a speech at TedX Sydney, in {#blank#}8{#/blank#}he stated that some of the website's poems were able to{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(foolish) 65 percent of human readers.

    He said that on his website, he hoped people would question the difference between humans and machines—and be able to identify what it is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}makes us human.

    The Great Wall was grand, a little rainy at first, but grand all the same. The mist covered the far ends of the wall,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(give)it an almost mysterious feeling. The fog rolled in and out of the high mountains, revealing new parts of the wall as {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick)as it covered them. I kept on walking, seeing watchtower after watchtower {#blank#}3{#/blank#}my way. To my {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(relieve), many people had decided today was not the best day {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(climb)the wall, and I was there with very few people. I walked for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}seemed like miles. Then I saw just how long the wall I was standing on stretched for.

    It was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(end)! I walked and walked, but after every hill I climbed, there was another long stretch of wall. I eventually came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} long staircase. Later I found out that it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(call) “Chairman Mao's Challenge”.I accepted, and after climbing the hundred plus stairs to the peak, I had to admit that the Great Wall truly lives up to its reputation. So if I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(have)another chance to travel to China, I would never hesitate to visit the Great Wall again.

    Tons of waste is being left on Mount Qomolangma by a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(grow) number of visitors, which bothers many people. A team will deal with the task{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the climbing season ends this May, by which time there will be fewer visitors. Garbage{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(collect) on Qomolangma requires two to three years of training, according to Cering Dandar, a mountaineer and guide.
