My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong    1     August 15, 2011. He had dreamed about     2     (visit) since his boyhood and it    3    (be) the first time that he had been there. The following was     4     he had seen.

Arriving there, he was    5    (impress) by its beautiful scenery and tall buildings. It is said that Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling     6    (face) there. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easygoing and ready to help others. Much to    7    (he) surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places.     8    crowds of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such a low voice as not to disturb one another.

Chinese and English are their official languages. English is     9    (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.Staying there for only a week was    10     good experience that he will never forget.

Last week I had a holiday from work, but     1    (unfortunate) none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved a bed in a hostel for one week. One week by myself! Would I be bored? Quite     2     opposite! I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums,     3    would have seemed dull to my friends. I discovered my     4     (independent) and developed map-reading skills that I didn' t know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn't have to wait for anyone else     5     (get) ready every morning.

However, I found there were also some disadvantages of travelling alone. I missed     6     (have) someone to talk to. Experiences are often more     7     (enjoy) if they are shared. In addition, eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hostel     8     (be) less fun on my own.

I am very proud of myself for travelling alone and I had a good time in Toronto. However, in the future, I     9     (prefer) to travel with another person     10     in a small group.

Going to a British high school for one year     1     a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me.

On the first day all of the new students attended an assembly. I sat next to a girl     2     name was Diane. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect from the school was to devote ourselves to     3    (study) hard and achieve high     4    (grade). This sounded like my school in China.

My English improved a lot,     5     I used English every day and spent an hour each day    6    (read) English books in the library. I     7    (usual) went to the Computer Club during the lunch break,     8     I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had     9     extra French Class on Tuesday evenings.

I was very    10    (luck) to experience this different way of life, and I really hope to go back to study in Manchester again.

Up to 82 percent of children with healthy mothers are not easy to be obese（肥胖的）, according to research. A mother,     1     has a healthy weight, exercises regularly, eats a healthy diet, doesn’t smoke and only     2    (drink) wine in moderation, is significantly less likely     3    (have)a fat child, scientists say.

And research suggests it could be more to do with nurture(养育)    4     nature, as a mother's lifestyle appears     5    (direct) linked to the health of her child. When both mother and child follow a healthy lifestyle, the risk of obesity     6    (reduce)even more, the study of more than 24,000 children found.

The study examined the medical history and lifestyles of more than 24,000 children aged nine     7     fourteen, born to almost 17,000 women in the US. Researchers looked at the link between overall mother health and likelihood of a child     8    (be) obese.

The mother's health was judged on her height-to-weight ratio(比例), her diet, amount of physical     9    (active), smoking status and how much alcohol she drank. A healthy weight and diet, regular exercise, no smoking and moderate drinking all reduce the chance of a woman having     10     obese child.

In recent years, many original Chinese children's novels and picture books, with moving stories and Chinese elements,     1    (reach)great heights in the international markets. Children's books have clocked 7.3 million volumes,     2    (account) for 50.33 percent of all books exported.

Three factors have     3    (great) contributed to the     4    (grow): the depth of the story, traditional Chinese elements and emotions of the characters.

The meaning of children's books lies in conveying the profound connotation (内涵)behind the story. Through the unique interpretation of the humanity and the environment,     5    (write) share the same feelings with Chinese and Western readers.

Mr Cao,     6    is the writer of Bronze and Sunflower, even won Hans Christian Andersen Award. The English version of the book was published in 2015 by a British company,     7    republished in 2017. It was included in "the voice of the world -- the world's     8    (beautiful) novel series".

The book tells the story of the growing relationship     9    a city girl, Sunflower, and a country boy, Bronze. The author displays the extreme struggle of the characters in     10    face of hardship, and describes the true, the good and the beautiful in human nature with vigor(活力) and warmth.
