The China's future space.

 When I was a kid, I really liked eating candy apples, which are popular snacks in the United States and Britain. Every winter in Beijing, there is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} kind of candy I like to eat, too. The food is tanghulu and it's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the candy apples of my childhood. 

 It is a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( tradition) Chinese snack, with fruit, always Chinese hawthorns(山楂) on a stick of bamboo and covered with sugar candy. It first{#blank#}4{#/blank#}( come) from northern China, but it can be found in every Chinese city now. 

 Although it can be enjoyed year - round, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( foreign) often think of tanghulu with winter. This is probably because there are many tanghulu vendors(摊贩){#blank#}6{#/blank#}( ride) their bikes through the streets in winter, selling the sweet treat. 

 There is an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( interest) fact behind tanghulu's name. Tang means"sugar", which makes sense, because it is a sweet snack. But hulu means"bottle gourd(葫芦)". {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ? Some people think tanghulu has the same shape as a bottle gourd. That's the reason for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( it) name. 

 Chinese hawthorns are good for health. In China, it is used to make tanghulu. In many other {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( country), people also use the fruit to make different foods. For example, in Mexico, Chinese hawthorns are used to make jam and candy. In South Korea and Japan, they are used to make wine. 

 Today, we' ll look at a story about a street artist and a homeless cat in the book A Street Cat Named Bob.It is about how one man, James Bowen, and his cat Bob found a bright {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(将来) on the streets of London. 

 James Bowen is one of a street {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(音乐家) who busked(街头卖艺) around Covent Garden in London. It sometimes paid well, but not always. When Bowen found Bob {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(某个地方), he found the poor cat was injured and{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(饥饿的), and it's hard not to help the cat. Bowen already had trouble feeding himself. Still, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(选择) to help and look after the cat. 

 One day, Bob followed Bowen to Covent Garden. It made lots of people stop and listen to Bowen's songs. Bowen got more money that evening than{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(几乎) he would usually get during a day. Bob and Bowen had many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(绝妙的) stories, although there were many hard days to get through as well. 

 This book is an autobiography(自传), and the real James Bowen himself{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(写) it in 2012. Autobiographies tell you more about what the person is feeling. In A Street Cat Named Bob, Bowen not only tells you about his life with Bob, but also tells you about his {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(父母的) life and his own experiences. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(语言) is simple, so it is easy to read.
