Today I want to share my terrible trip with you. I visited the marine park with my friends yesterday. I am sorry to say that I was disappointed with the service provide by the staff. When I came up to one of the waitresses to ask the way, he was rather impatient, respond slowly and unwillingly. What's worse, the waitress even laughed me when I was about to leave. Besides, the steak 1 was ordered in the restaurant was so tough and salty which I could hardly enjoy it. Al that time, the service also makes other customers disappointed. I sincere hope that the person in charge will take measure to improve the service.

10 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

When Zhang Lingshan was a child, she would watch the Chinese period drama Palace on television, attracted by the characters’ ancient clothing. She didn’t know what these beautiful clothes     1     (call)—only that they were from some     2     (distance) past. “They looked fairy-like, dreamy,” she said. “I was     3     (complete) drawn by the beauty of these clothes, and then eventually came to understand the culture of Hanfu, and I liked it more and more.”

Now aged nineteen and     4     (live) in Beijing, Zhang is     5     member of China’s growing “hanfu movement”—a renaissance (复兴) of the ancient clothing traditionally worn by ethnic-majority Han Chinese before the Qing dynasty. Tight-knit Hanfu communities and university clubs often meet for themed activities. Zhang and her friends sometimes visit places with ancient architecture, like Beijing’s Forbidden City,     6     emperors once lived, to take     7    (photo) in costume and post them on social media. They have more than 20,000 fans who often ask them     8     more pictures.

Nowadays, Hanfu is seen as a way     9     (celebrate) Chinese culture and improve national self-esteem. In the past few years, Hanfu clubs and social media platforms     10     (help) to bring the Han clothing back under the spotlight. “It’s the confidence of the younger people, the confidence of the country,” said Christine Tsui, a fashion columnist and researcher in Shanghai.
