3 . Since 2009, a small army of _________ in the Palace Museum have been receiving global social media attention. These hairy guards are _________ inside the museum walls. The purpose is to defend wooden structures and _________ relics against mice.

I visited the Palace Museum in the summer of 2023 to _________ the history of Qing Dynasty. I stayed in a small hotel in one of Beijin’s hutong areas for a whole month. It took me a 20-minute walk to the _________ every morning. Before _________ to Beijing, I had already conducted some background research on the history of the Palace Museum itself and managed to read an article about the famous palace cats. I was _________ to spot at least one of them during my stay there.

In the third week, _________ I was walking through the western gates, I was surprised to spot not one, not two, but three cats on the corner of a porch in front of an office. I _________ the furry guards in Chinese, “Hi! Kitties!” The cats ignored me, __________ to take a rest in the shade next to their white painted cat houses.

I __________ three more cats inside the bamboo garden of the employees’ exercise grounds. It wasn’t until my last week in Beijing that I __________ got to pet one. The slightly fat furry cat looked like the real “boss” of the palace as he made his way over to me, staring with his sharp yellow and blue eyes and letting __________ short, loud meows demanding attention. He was very friendly and __________ to be scratched behind the ear and even given a belly rub.

For those cat __________ planning on taking a trip to China’s capital, these absolutely adorable security guards are definitely worth spending a day in the palace looking for.

4 . Once, Sviatozar’s nephew came to see him. As a child, the nephew often ________ the old man, but now he does this ________. At that time, the young man was sad and obviously ________ about something. Sviatozar asked what had happened to him. The young man said that he had a serious ________ and then would never be able to achieve his goal.

The nephew asked the old man to give him ________ —what he should do next, but Sviatozar just asked the nephew to help him climb the hills. That road was difficult and long. But the nephew ________ agreed to help his uncle. When they reached the hills, Sviatozar said that he needed to go to the top of the highest hill. The young man was surprised, but ________ to help his uncle, because the old man had never climbed there.

With great ________, the young man helped his uncle climb the hill, and sometimes even dragged the old man on his back. At the top of the hill, ________, he put Sviatozar on the ground and laughed happily. “Once upon a time, you sometimes returned home ________,” Sviatoza r asked him, “The boys teased you. Do you remember why?” “Exactly.” The young man ________ and nodded. He ________ that as a child, he often played there with other boys. And they called this hill an Everest because few people could get to its top.

“At that time, you were unable to get here. This hill seemed an ________ rock to you. And today you not only climbed here, but also dragged me up.” the old man said and looked at his nephew, “How do you think? Why?” “Perhaps I just grew up,” the young man ________, “I became stronger and fitter.”

“And the Everest suddenly ________ a harmless mound,” said Sviatozar. “You got my advice.”
