This summer has been full of unforgettable     1    (moment). Among them, Su Bingtian, a 31-year-old runner, set     2     new Asian record of 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics semifinals (半决赛) although he finished sixth in the final with a time of 9.98 seconds, he still made a victory.   “    3     (actual), I’m very happy to run under 10 seconds twice in such a short time”, Su said after the race. “Making it into the finals, I have already given all I have.”

After that, Su competed in many international events and won a number of medals. Sadly, at the same time, he suffered greatly from his     6     (injure) and his determination to go on running was tested. He even     7     (plan) to the leave the field in 2017,     8     the wish to run in the 100m final in the Olympics brought him back on the field.

Now in his third Olympics, his    9     (amaze) performance has excited people both at home and abroad. Su Bingtian is really a living legend    10     will surely encourage more young players in their sporting career (事业).

Tea is a simple drink. And it is central to the lives of millions of people worldwide.

There are six major types of tea in China-green tea, black tea, Oolong tea, dark tea, white tea, and reprocessed tea, distinguished     1    (main) by different methods of production.

China,    2     (recognize) as the homeland of tea, is a leading producer and consumer, and the     3    (discover) and the usage of tea have a history of 4, 000 to 5, 000 years. Drinking tea first    4    (start) to become popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The origin of tea is lost among history and legend.    5     can be roughly confirmed is that tea originated in southwest China. In Yunnan and elsewhere, some wild tea trees that     6    (be) over 1, 000 years old still exist.

Many traditional Chinese families drink tea after dinner or when     7    (greet) visitors. This is not only a     8    (health) habit but also reflects rich culture and history. Chinese people can chat with a friend or enjoy themselves for a whole afternoon     9    a pot of good tea.

It was in the Tang Dynasty that teahouses came into being, and in some big cities then, there were also tea shops,    10     stored large quantities of tea leaves and prepared tea for their customers.

The use of chopsticks has been     1     big part of Chinese food culture for centuries. When cooking food or picking it up, a pair of chopsticks always comes for use.

So how did chopsticks come into being? It’s said that a leader of ancient China, Dayu,     2     helped his people fight floods, invented them. In those days, people     3     (eat) only with their hands. But Dayu was busy    4     (prepare) for flood control work and often had his meals     5     the wild. In the summer in particular, he hurried to deal with unexpected accidents and didn’t want to wait to eat. The meat     6     (cook) in the pot was too hot to pick up with his hands. So one day Dayu picked up some twigs (细枝)     7     (help) him hold the meat. Then the twigs     8     (final) became the chopsticks we know today.

But of course, this is just a story. The     9     (early) chopsticks archaeologists (考古学家) have found so far are more than 3000 years old, dating back to the Shang Dynasty. The six bronze chopsticks were found in Yinxu, one of China’s oldest archaeological     10     (place), in Anyang, Henan province.

Yu Rong, a Chinese artist, thinks of a new way to introduce     1     ancient story of Hua Mulan in her picture book. In the book, I Am Hua Mulan, she tells the story by     2     (combine) Chinese paper-cutting with international artistic styles. She places Shaanxi papercuts over western-style pencil sketches (素描)    3     (create) typical presentation of Chineseelements (要素), which turns out to be a     4     (success) and impressive breakthrough.

Hua Mulan,     5     story has been told by generations in China, was a fighter from the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534). As a devoted daughter, she dressed herself as a man to serve in the army     6     place of her father. Mulan’s character, such as courage, kindness and a disinterested attitude towards fame and fortune, made     7     (she) one of the most respected historical Chinese heroines. Mulan’s story has been adapted     8     (frequent) in modern media. For example, in 1998, Disney produced a film named Mulan, which     9     (consider) a great success by critics and the public right after its release.

To better tell the story, Yu Rong takes inspiration from her several     10     (visit) to sites of ancient battles and Henan Province’s Yu Opera. After years of preparation she finally makes this extraordinary work.

The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes     1     striking is that it shows a thin figure     2     an expression of fear——the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a     3    (power) scream. The figure covers his or her ears and looks    4    (direct)at the viewer. This figure is     5    (set) on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and    6     a burning orange-red sky. In his diary, Munch talked about     7     inspired him. “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the sky turned as red as blood. I stood there     8     (shake). Then I heard the scream of nature.” Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s     9     ( mentally ) health problems,     10     caused him a lot of pain.

It’s well known that pound notes show the face of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.However,something     1     (interest) about British money is that there are also faces on the back of the notes.Did you know that the picture changes every few     2     (year) to show a different famous person from British history?

At the moment,we can find the face of Charles Darwin on the ￡10 note.He is a(n)     3     (science),famous for his theories about evolution (进化).From 1992 to 2003,Charles Dickens     4     (be) on the banknote.He is one of the country’s favourite authors,     5     novels like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield were voted as some of Britain’s best works of literature.     6     (recent),it was announced that Jane Austen would replace Darwin on the ￡10 note.She is one of my favourite authors,     7     (remember) for books like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.People think     8     a very good choice to put Jane Austen on a banknote because most of the people on British money are men.
