Have you ever been to Zibo, a small city in Shandong province? Zibo is now a popular place for tourists around China. Every day,     1    （thousand）of tourists come to Zibo to enjoy a special delicious food—Zibo barbecue（烧烤）. Zibo barbecue has     2    （bring）more than 5 million tourists since February. You can see many people     3    （eat）and listening to music happily outside. In Zibo, you can spend less but enjoy more. That’s what everyone is looking for, right? Actually the     4    （good）time to visit Zibo is from April to October. The local government wants to encourage more people     5    （come）to the city. They have to make good preparation for the coming days.

This summer, my parents took Amy and me to different parts of China. It was a new, exciting experience for us to take Chinese Gao Tie. It was the     1     (safe), fastest way to travel around, and my parents took us to a lot of     2     (city), so I never had to say goodbye to the trains.

What I like about trains are     3     views you don’t get on planes. My favorite was Shanghai at night. The tall buildings and bright lights reminded me     4     New York.

When we were in Beijing, we visited Dad’s university, Tsinghua University. It was big and beautiful just like Beijing     5     (it). And the food was even more fantastic. Sure, food in America is really good especially for unpicky eaters like me, but     6     (actual) I like Chinese food better. I     7     (puzzle) why everything is so amazing. The answer immediately rushes into my mind—hard work pays. Things     8     (develop) rapidly in China now. China has changed for the better     9     everyone is working very hard     10     (create) a better future.

Tall buildings pop up overnight. Millions     1     people come to work and live. So far, a small fishing village     2    （turn）into one of China’s biggest cities. This is Shenzhen, a “city of miracles”.

On Aug.26, 1980, China’s     3    （one）special economic zone（SEZ）was set up in Shenzhen. “My father came from Sichuan to Shenzhen in his twenties,” said Li Jiayan. Li is a 16-year-old boy and he grew     4     in Shenzhen. “He got his first job as a salesman. Later my parents started     5    （they）own business.”

“In the early days, we     6    （live）in the small paint shop. Now we have our own factory and live in a     7    （much）comfortable house,” Li said proudly. “It’s all because of my parents’ hard work. They always tell me, “    8     you work hard, you won’t have a wonderful future.”

“I believe we will have a better life,” Li added     9    （confident）.

Today, many of China’s top     10    （company）are based in Shenzhen, including Huawei and Tencent.

Courage, innovation（创新）and hard work-these are what have made Shenzhen a miracle, and what will also drive China’s future.

My hometown is on a small island which is a very quiet place. There used to be many     1     of trees and flowers. The     2     swam in the blue sea happily. For me, one of     3     happiest activities is playing at the beach. But years later the sea was filled     4     rubbish and the plants disappeared. The blue sea became dirty and the lovely fish died. I really felt sorry for     5     had happened to my hometown. Luckily, the government has taken some actions to     6     these problems. The government cleared the rubbish in the sea in the next few months. Now many workers pull     7     and clean the sea every day. The environment in my hometown is becoming     8     than before.

In fact, protecting the natural environment itself     9     also protecting our hometown. We must act together,     10     we will regret one day! Only in this way can it give us a comfortable place to live in.
