Jiang Wen and his new film are at the top of the world - the world of Chinese cinema. His Let the Bullets Fly has just broken the box-office record for a Chinese film with some 700 million yuan ($107 million). It is such a big success that wherever you go, you can hear people talking about Bullets.
This time, he is not just the leading actor in the film, ______ also the _______ himself. Young people believe he was playing himself because to them, he himself is a true man. And experts also think highly of his way of telling stories. It seems that he does not need others to tell him how great he is ––– not any more.
That does not mean he is not proud of Bullets. It's just that Bullets, for him, is fun. He has heard of all the political interpretations（政治隐喻的解读）of his story that have up across the Web and mainstream media（主流媒体）.
The most wonderful scenes in his movies all seem to have something to do with reality, for example, in Bullets opens with a train pulled by white horses.
"I did not invent this set-up. For 30 years in the early 20th century, there was a part of rail line in Northeast China that was powered by horses," he explains, "You may come up with the most unlikely scenes, and you'll find that fact is stranger than fiction."

    It was Jimmy's birthday, and he was five years old. He got a lot of nice birthday gifts from his family, and one of them was a beautiful drum. "Who gave him that thing?" Jimmy's father asked when he saw it. "My father did," answered Jimmy's mother. Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his father didn't mind. He was working during the day and Jimmy was already in bed when he got home in the evening, so he couldn't hear the noise. But one of the neighbors(邻居) didn't like the noise at all, so a few days later, she took a knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him, "Hello, Jimmy, there is something very nice inside your drum. Here is a knife. Open the drum and let's find it. ""No, I know there isn't anything in it, "said the boy.

Whales are known as the largest animals in the ocean. It's a pity that they are in danger. The reason behind this is that some people kill them for their meat and oil. People want to protect these great animals. Every year, they go swimming along with whales in the ocean. People from various corners of the world come to watch. It's known as "The Great Whale Trail (GWT)". It raises money to protect the whales.

You can join in by helping us raise money. You have the chance to swim 10 kilometers in the sea with the large animal. The activity will take place on the 20th of July. The water can be cold, so it's important to wear a wetsuit (潜水衣). After the swim, there will be a party with music and food. You can bring your family and friends to join in the celebrations.

The activity only costs $50. This includes (含有) the swim, the party, and a T-shirt. Please help us to protect these great animals. We all love whales and understand their importance to our world.

Have you ever heard of the US Labour Day? It is one of{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(important) festivals in America. The first Labour Day parade{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hold) in New York City in 1882. Thousands of workers walked through the streets to show the strength of labor organizations. In 1894, the government made Labour Day a national holiday{#blank#}3{#/blank#}they wanted to create a holiday for the working people.

The most difficult thing about learning English is to remember new words. I study the words and remember them, but a week later I have forgotten most of them. When reading something in English, I always get into trouble when I come across a new word. There must be a better way to learn new words.

Li Qiang {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

I have been studying English for so long now, but I don't enjoy it anymore. I used to like it, but now I feel that I'm not making any progress. I'm just not motivated anymore. I wish there was something I could do to make me interested in studying English again.

Fang Zhe {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

I wish I could improve my spoken English. Every time when I take part in a group discussion or try to speak English to someone, I find it difficult to express myself. I don't know what to say and I can't think of the words I need.

Huang Wei {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

I don't like English at all. Why do we have to study English? I'd rather spend more time on math and science, because I think those subjects are more important.
