I live in Bangalore, India,     1     the traffic is heavy for most of the day, and drivers can be pretty impatient.

When I was in Singapore about seven years ago, I stepped off the sidewalk (人行道) and     2    (quick) jumped back upon seeing a car. To my     3     (amaze), the car stopped. I waited. So did the car. Then, the driver waved at me to cross. That was an     4     (forget) moment for me. A pedestrian (行人) was more important than the car — something we are just not used     5    in India.

Now, I try to slow down as often as possible and allow pedestrians     6     (cross), or even invite another car to go ahead of me. And I always wave when someone gives me space to go ahead.

In fact, another way of     7     (create) goodwill is in airport queues or at the train station. I’ve found that the moment I step aside for the people in a hurry, they are always thankful, and often give me a smile or offer back what I     8    (offer) them. There is an instant connection when we offer space for others.

In a busy world, the very same people will smile back at us when we offer     9     kind gesture. Taking the time to give others the chance to go first     10     (make) these small moments of connection that brighten my day.

“Traveling to China seems like traveling to another world. Its many famous scenic attractions impressed me     1     (great),”an American said. The following is     2     he wrote on his website.

My friends and I had a family visit in Xi’an,     3     old city with a long history in China. The hosts were retired or stayed at home without a job, and they were friendly to     4     (visit) from different countries coming their homes.

We     5     (taste) the true home-cooked dishes in the home of the family that we visited. For in-homing dinner, the host would prepare a list of menus in advance (提前). Our tour guide asked     6     (we) for advice about the food, so the host would try to cook what we wanted     7     (eat) at his home. We just enjoyed the locally cooked dishes. It was quite a different and exciting experience.

Many foreigners enjoy     8     (learn) how to make Chinese dumplings. We were also     9     (offer) a general cooking class in the local family. The host taught us to make dumplings step by step with lots of patience. And we didn’t need to pay any money     10     this. Travel China Guide offers this kind of service free of charge.

The family visit in Xi’an was a good chance for us to get to know Chinese people’s daily life.

When someone has     1     (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly     2     (benefit) to your physical, and mental health. So far research     3     (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show     4     (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people to feel more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something     5     gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for them     6     (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in     7     same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”

Next, keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean     8     (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and     9    (kind) around you.Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective (视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter    10     yourself from that person’s point of view.

Mount Wuyi lies at the junction (交叉点) of Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces. It is among     1     first group of China’s top tourist cities. In December 1999, Mount Wuyi     2     (list) as World Heritage-Mixed Property by UNESCO.

With rich tourism     3    resource), Mount Wuyi is a famous tea center in China. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046—771 BC), it was well known     4     a place of interest. It has a species-rich ecosystem, with 2,527 kinds of plant species     5     about 5,000 species of wild animals. Mount Wuyi belongs to the typical Danxia landform. Except for the     6     (amaze) Danxia landform here, the Daoism culture and tea culture also attract tourists at home and abroad,     7     (especial) those coining from Singapore and Malaysia.

The Mount Wuyi scenic area     8     (be) quite large. Attractions in the mountain are dotted(布满的) and the distance between each other is quite long. It is not recommended     9     (visit) all the sites in the mountain, but some main attractions.

In the closing ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, China put on       1     eight-minute performance See You in Beijing in 2022,     2    (direct) by Zhang Yimou. The show centered on the talents of a team of 24 roller-skating     3    (perform) from Beijing Sport University. Two of     4    (they) dressed up as “Panda Captains” led the performance. It reviewed China’s ancient times,     5    (show) the country’s rich cultural heritage (遗产) and praising the present as well as the future.

Towards the end of the performance, the Olympic rings     8    (appear) on the stage, as well as images of a global village, children’s smiling faces, olive branches and plum blossoms (梅花), which represented China’s promise     9    (build) a better future for mankind. Finally, the skaters travelled a path to draw the “Winter Dream” sign of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The performance     10    (successful) sent China’s goodwill and invitations to the world for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

In the past few years, more than half of bookstores in China have closed down,     1     is the result of the     2    (compete) with online bookstores. But the success of Sisyphe Bookstore, one of the     3    (big) privately-owned bookstore chains in China, may serve     4     a great example .

    5    (found) in 1993, Sisyphe started to transform and upgrade its business in 2009 to seek its profitability. Now, it not only devotes itself to     6    (sell) books , but combines the functions of the bookstore, cafe and the sale of     7    (create) cultural products. Sisyphe opens its bookstores in shopping malls in order to take advantage of the large number of consumers of shopping malls to sell its books, and it also     8    (able) people to enjoy spending time reading and drinking coffee. In return, bookstores have improved the cultural atmosphere of shopping malls, so     9     is mutually beneficial to have such cooperation.

So far, the government     10    (offer) tax reduction for bookstores to encourage the development of physical bookstores. Perhaps it is early to say the boom of physical bookstores has come, but definitely, we see the turning point to them.

Every culture has its own way to show friendship. On     1     islands of Hawaii, friendship is part of the “aloha spirit”. In the language of the Hawaiians who first     2     (settle) on the islands long ago, aloha has a very special meaning: to be with happiness. Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land, they are ready to love their people or community. This is one of the     3    ( important ) signs of friendship . It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language,which means oneness(和谐)with all people.     4    (enjoy)the land,you should not be selfish. The land is     5     everyone who lives on it. Today many different peoples call Hawaii their home. Indeed, Hawaii is a place     6     people make one big community from many smaller     7     ( community ) . Each person gives kokua ( help ) to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed that the islands can be a paradise(天堂)when people live peacefully. People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea. When problems happen, people     8    (ask) to solve them with understanding. So when the people of Hawaii talk about family, they are     9     (actual) talking about all those     10    (live)on the islands.

With the development of economy, how to balance progress and the protection of cultural heritage     1    (be) a big challenge we are facing. Great solutions, however, tend to arise from the challenges.

In the 1950s, in order to control the flooding and to get electricity from the flow of the Nile River, the Egyptian government made    2    proposal to build a new dam across the Nile. It would cause the water levels to rise high enough    3    (flood) a number of ancient temples,    4    were among Egypt’s cultural heritage. So the government turned to the United Nations    5    help.

Soon, an international committee    6    (establish) to help Egypt to find the solution. Finally, they made a decision that all cultural relics should be removed. With the unprecedented (前所未有的), international effort, the government    7    (successful) moved the temples and other cultural sites to a new    8    ( locate ) on higher ground .

The project was considered a greatly successful example by UNESCO to prevent world heritage from       9    (disappear). More importantly, the success shows that if a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can make a big    10    (different). The fact proves it is possible for countries to work together to build a better future.
