In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV programme     1     (call) Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story     2     the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wu kong is the main character in     3     (tradition) Chinese book Journey to the West.

The story tells what happens along the way when the Monkey King protects Monk Tang to find lost Buddhist classics (佛经). The Monkey King is not like other monkeys. In fact, he sometimes does not even look like     4     monkey! This is because he can make seventy-two     5     (change) to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects.     6     (fight) bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small     7     he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.

The children of China     8     (love) the Monkey King for many years.     9     the TV programme came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became quite     10     (interest) in reading this story because the clever Monkey King always fights to help the weak and never gives up.

7 . It was a warm spring day, Chen Beier, a TV host from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small Atule’er in Sichuan.

The small village sits on a cliff of eight     1     (百) metres high. People could only get up to it by climbing a 2, 556-step metal ladder. Chen Beier was making a program about it.

In     2     (十月), 2021, Chen reached an important goal. It had done away with extreme poverty. Many people outside couldn’t believe it. After all, China has a large number of poor villages. In order to find out the     3     (真相) and show it to people, Chen set out to make No Poverty Land.

It was     4     (困难的) to finish the trip. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule’er, for example, Chen felt so tired that she could     5     (几乎不) go any further. She was also afraid of heights. Some people     6     (建议) her to give up on the climb. But the woman set her     7     (牙齿) and continued her climb. This metal ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, it wasn’t     8     (方便的) to climb the mountain and villagers used a ladder made of with plants. The government (政府) also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain.     9     (通过) the program No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor places of China has been improved.

China has changed (改变) a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe. Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don’t just tell people about the great changes, show them     10     (无论何时) you can.
