Taking the volunteer trip to the Wildlife Sanctuary project was something I had wanted to do for several years. Unfortunately, I was busy with work. As     1     result, it was always something that I might do eventually rather than actually doing. Then, I decided it had     2     (happen) because it was of great importance to me. I made preparations, booked my trip and slightly hesitantly headed off to the airport.

Literally after one day of volunteering, I was already regretting only having two weeks to stay. Every day was amazing and full of wonderful     3    (experience). The days flew by because we were so busy working on the farm, hanging out and making new friends, and     4     (learn) about the wildlife in a hands-on manner. In reality, the actual project was exciting and the people I met were similarly incredible.     5     is crazy that in just a few weeks you can develop friendships that seem like you     6     (have) for years. Leaving can make people sad, but still, I cannot recommend the trip enough to anyone     7     is considering it. I'm sure they will fall in love with it. Besides, volunteering can be really     8     (benefit) to people.

    9     (arrive) home, I always miss my days that were filled with things related to South Africa. I find myself     10     (constant) looking back at photos. I look forward to taking another trip.

Cold Food Festival is a     1       (tradition) Chinese holiday celebrated before Qingming Festival, which usually falls on April 4 or 5.

Legend has     2     that Chong'er, a prince of Jin, experienced many hardships while he moved around the warring states. Once, when the prince suffered from     3     (starve), Jie Zitui, offered him food. Later, when Chong'er became the duke of Jin, he ordered a search for Jie who had gone into hiding in the remote mountains with his mother. The duke wanted Jie to serve     4     one of his ministers. Contrary to     5    many people might assume, Jie, who preferred living a simple life in the Mianshan Mountain to     6     (become) a politician, refused the duke's invitation. Chong'er ordered the mountain to be burned down to force Jie out of hiding.     7     (fortune), Jie did not give in and the fire ended up killing him and his mother. Feeling extremely sorry, Chong'er required that the setting of fire     8     (forbid) on the anniversary of Jie's death. This meant all food was eaten cold. Therefore the festival is thus named.

Mianshan Mountain,     9    the tragedy happened, is now a famous tourist destination in Shanxi province. In many areas of Shanxi, locals still remember this tradition.     10    cold food is not the only choice for people during the celebration, the practices of making typical cold dishes for the event have been preserved.

When the Lebanese director NadineLebaki was doing research for her filmCapernaum (何以为家), she interviewed many children    1    (struggle) for survival in Beirut and asked them one question    2    the end of the conversations.

The question was, “ Are you happy to be alive?” Sadly , the    3    (true) is that most of the answers were in the negative. The children from poverty-stricken    4    (family) talked about their miserable situations    5    they were abused (辱骂) and badly treated.

The 2-hour film begins with a story about Zain,    6    12-year-old boy who asks the parents why heis brought to the world with flashback shots about his sufferings appearing constantly. He is indeed a strong and wise character, although    7    (physical) smaller than his real age.

Besides, most of the other actorsfound it easy for them    8    (act) because similar experiences even happened in    9    (they) real life. So far, the film which premiered (首映) at the film festival    10    (receive) a lot of praise.
