My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong{#blank#}1{#/blank#} August 15, 2015. He had dreamed about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (visit) it since his boyhood and it was the first time that he{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) there. The following was what he had seen.

    Arriving there, he was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (surprise) by its beautiful scenery and tall {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (building). As we all know, Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go), he saw many smiling faces. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easy-going and ready to help others. Much to his surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a great number of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such {#blank#}8{#/blank#} low voice as not to bother others.

    Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong. English is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Staying there for a week was a good experience for him, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he would never forget.

    Today, it is not rare that people may lose their jobs, so it is perhaps the time to consider the experience of unemployment. What are the first feelings? Well, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lose)a job, or not being able to find one, almost always causes sadness.

    If you've lost a job, the first feeling is often that of{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(disappoint)  The days seem{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be)getting longer and the time becomes {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hard)to fill in. Some people may {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(have)difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel depressed, often isolated and lonely. Others may lose confidence in themselves. They are no longer certain about {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they)own feelings. Despite all these problems, unemployment may bring good feelings, too. It's nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning, spend more time{#blank#}7{#/blank#}your family and relatives, and have more time to think. It can be a chance for a fresh start. You can use the time to consider{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you really want to get from life and how you can get it. Also you can use the time to plan how to find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} new job, learn a new skill, or see if you can run your own business and become a success. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(possible), a new and better job is already waiting for you.

    China Giant Panda Protection and Research center has three bases: Wolong, Dujiangyan, and Ya'an Bifengxia. The main function of the Dujiangyan base is the giant panda's nursing and disease control. Dujiangyan Panda Base was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (formal) open to the public in June 2013.

    China Giant Panda Protection and Research Dujiangyan Base {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (locate) in Sichuan, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (support) by the government of the Hong Kong special administrative region. China Giant Panda Protection and Research Dujiangyan Base is style of western Sichuan Linpan in Chengdu plain dwellings. With bamboo forest in the park and a piece of lawn and winding trails,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (visitor) may feel refreshed to walk into it.

    Dujiangyan Panda Base is the place {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you can be in close contact with a group of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (love) pandas. Dujiangyan covers the panda habitat in western China, so it is easy{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(carry) out protection, breeding, aid, and research work.

    It is worth {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mention) that China Giant Panda Protection and Research Dujiangyan Base is designed according {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the standards of green building three stars award. China Giant Panda Protection and Research Dujiangyan Base is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} first center rescue for a single wild giant panda species as rescue objects.

    The Agricultural Feast {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fall) after the Independence Day. It is not a worldwide celebration. Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its arrival for its {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (religion) origin.

    Long ago, man's ancestors were bad. They fooled and played tricks on each other and never kept their word. So annoyed was God {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he turned up and drowned all their crops. Consequently, many people starved to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (die). In order to gain God's forgiveness, a woman poet set off {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (see) God, and made apologies, which moved God. With God's permission, human beings finally had good harvests again. Thus to wipe sadness and remind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of the belief in God, people celebrate the festival. On the festival, people gather in the open air, such as playgrounds and parking lots, and have fun with each other energetically all night long, as though they were never tired. When a beauty {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (dress) in lovely clothing reads poems in memory of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} poet, everyone holds his breath. Then, it is the custom that the bone of a rooster head is given to her {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an award.

    Obviously, the story may not be true, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the festival is interesting.

    Zhang Lanping has been teaching for 33 years now, but {#blank#}1{#/blank#} makes her special is her pair of crutches(拐杖). The courageous teacher from Gansu province {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (suffer) from poliomyelitis, an infectious disease, when she was only one year old.

    Zhang is not able to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (full) recover and therefore has to use crutches for the rest of her life. This condition, however, has not weakened Zhang's spirit. As a student, Zhang devoted {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (she) to acquiring knowledge, which she believed would make her a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (success) teacher.

    After graduation, Zhang applied as a college teacher but she was turned down because of her physical {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (disable). Zhang did not give up and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (accept) as a primary school teacher in her hometown in Gansu province, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} then experienced a shortage of teachers. For able­bodied people, it takes only six minutes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (reach) school, but Zhang has to spend one hour from home to her work place {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(use) crutches. Zhang's efforts have not been in vain. The academic performance of her students is among the best in the district.
