Builders found a moth (螉) at least as big as a rat while     1     (work) at a Queensland school. The primary school,     2    has just more than 600 students, posted photos of the moth on social media.

Principal Meagan Steward said it was     3     “amazing discovery”. But the teachers and students weren’t     4     (surprise) because the school was next to a rainforest and they had seen many other     5     (thing) like this one. “We weren’t at school when the builders found the moth, but they took some photos for us,” Ms Steward said.

One of the teachers showed the students a picture of the giant moth and they used it as an    6     (inspire) in their writing. The class gathered around     7     (discuss) what could happen. Almost all students     8     (expect) a giant moth invasion (侵犯). They wrote some very creative and imaginative pieces of writing, including Mrs Wilson (their teacher) getting eaten by the moth.

According     9     Queensland Museum’s Dr Christine Lambkin, the moth is one of the world’s heaviest moth species. It is commonly found between North Queensland and southern NSW and is grey-colored. “    10     (sad), they couldn’t fly very well,” Dr Lambkin said on radio.

In China, 2022 marks the Year of the Tiger. The animal     1     (regard) in Chinese culture as “the king of all beasts”.

Most children here, when     2     (ask) to draw a tiger, would write on its forehead the Chinese character wang, as the markings on tigers’ foreheads resemble the character for “king”, who conquers the kingdom of animal.

Since ancient times, tigers     3     (indicate) power, solemnity(庄严) and     4     (brave) in our ancestors’ mind, with objects bearing tiger-related image created to drive away the alarming evil spirits and invoke good fortune.

To celebrate this year’s Lunar New Year, it is therefore necessary to prepare     5     advance a few traditional tiger stuffed toys — the classic type is usually made of cloth and comes in colors such as red and yellow —     6     (decorate) one’s home or to give to children as a fascinate mascot(吉祥物).

The eve of Lunar New Year is a time to say goodbye to the past and ring in the new year, with the reunion dinner an indispensable feature of the night.

Although the     7     (food) prepared for the feast vary throughout the country, jiaozi (dumpling) is     8     must-have for most families in northern China. Dishes like fish and chicken, the words     9     sound like “surplus”(盈余) and “good luck” in Chinese, are usually the centerpieces on dining tables. These could make a     10    (wonder) feast and show the host’s generosity and hospitality.
