A 14-year-old Chinese boy overcame two of humankind's most dreaded fears—getting stuck in an elevator and getting homework {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do), in a single night {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(owe) to his calm-witted character.

    Sun Yixiao was on his way up on Tuesday evening after school,  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the lift suddenly came to a stop. A moment of panic followed before the  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teenage) could find a way out.

    Sun said he tried to open the elevator door, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(press) all the buttons in the hope to get the elevator to work again, but it didn't work.

    Without a cell phone at hand, Sun tried yelling to get attention of people outside, but no one responded as time passed by. He slipped a note through the door  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the message "people stuck inside, please ask the property management for help," and hoped someone  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pick) it up and act on it.

    After exhausting all his options without knowing how long it would take before someone found him, he took out his textbooks and started to do his homework {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient).

    Soon after he finished his duties, Sun heard loud {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(voice) outside. A large crowd including his teachers and other parents had come to the rescue, by which time he {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(trap) in the elevator for over five hours.

    In Africa, when the antelope（羚羊）wakes up every morning, the first thing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} comes into his mind is, “I must be able to run {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fast) than the fastest lion,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} I will be killed by a lion.” And at just the same time, the lion{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wake) out of his dream, and the first thingflashing into his mind is: “I must be able to catch up {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the slowest a ntelope, otherwise I will starve to{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (dead).” So almost at the same moment{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the antelope and the lion jump to their feet, and start{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) toward the rising sun.

    Such is life whether you are an antelope {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a lion, you ought to dash forward without hesitation when the sun {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (rise).

    Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth. Finless Porpoise (江豚) is one of these endangered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}that are dying out. As a student, I am asking you to pay attention{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the situation of Finless Porpoises. Finless porpoises in the Yangtze River are in danger of becoming extinct because they are seriously{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(affect) by human activities. To our disappointment, only about 1,000 are still living at present. We sincerely hope that WWF can play a role in{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(protect) this endangered species. Firstly, we find{#blank#}5{#/blank#}important to get sponsorship(赞助). If the government pays the farmers, they will allow tourists hunt only{#blank#}6{#/blank#}certain number of animals. But more importantly, we need information from experts in WWF to help us better understand the animal. In that case, we can take{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(good) care of them than before. And prizes will be given to the organizations{#blank#}8{#/blank#}can protect them well. What's more, more workers should{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(employ) to help us{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the task is challenging, we are confident that we will succeed sooner or later.

    McDonald's China changed its business name,and consumers aren't lovin' it. Chinese  media reported {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Wednesday evening that McDonald's Chinese business changed its company's name from Maidanglao, a loose transliteration of the English name, to Jingongmen, or Golden Arches, on Oct. 12.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the fast food chain promised its fans on its Weibo microblog that stores in China will still bear the old name{#blank#}3{#/blank#}new name was immediately laughed at by net users for sounding unsophisticated (不复杂的).

    Picking a Chinese name can be difficult for foreign brands.US home-sharing company Airbnb earlier this year chose 'Aibiying' or 'welcome each other with love' for its Chinese operations, but the name was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(bad)received for being difficult to pronounce. Last month, NBA team Dallas Mavericks asked{#blank#}5{#/blank#}fans to come up with a new Chinese name because the current xiaoniu is a mistranslation,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (mean) 'little cows.'

    McDonald's opened its first restaurant in China in 1990,and the brand, closely{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(associate) with a Western lifestyle, took off. Long lines formed whenever a new location opened.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} in recent years the fast food chain{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(struggle) to maintain its growth trend in China as more prosperous, health-conscious consumers seek alternative dining {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(option).

    Around this period, there was discussion for a new logo for McDonald's, and design consultant Louis Cheskin convinced the company to maintain its branding with the arches.
