However, the full stop has a different meaning to teenagers and those in their early 20s,     3    interpret it as sign of anger. And there is a reason for that.

The younger generation has grown up using the texts as their primary means of communication. When sending messages ,they tend to break up their thoughts by sending each one as     4     separate message, instead of using a full stop.

In his book, he says that the full stop has become an emotion marker that     7    ( remind) the receiver that the sender is angry or     8     (annoy).

In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of.

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 in the wild. In the summer    5     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 3,000 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.

In the 18th and 19th centuries,     1     (wealth) people travelled and collected plants, historical objects and works of art. They kept their collection at home until it got too big     2     until they died, and then it was given to a museum. The 80,000 objects collected by Sir Hans Sloane, for example,     3     (form) the core collection of the British Museum     4     opened in 1759.

The parts of a museum open to the public     5     (call) galleries or rooms. Often, only a small part of a museum’s collection     6     (be) on display. Most of it is stored away or used for research.

Many museums are lively places and they attract a lot of visitors. As well as looking at exhibits, visitors can play with computer simulations (模拟) and imagine     7     (they) living at a different time in history or     8    (walk)through a rainforest. At the Jorvik Centre in York, the city’s Viking settlement is recreated, and people experience the sights, sounds and smells of the old town. Historical     9     (accurate) is important but so is entertainment. Museums must compete     10    people’s spare time and money with other amusements. Most museums also welcome school groups and arrange special activities for children.

The harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important    1     (agriculture) festival takes place after all the crops    2    (gather) in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful    3     the year's supply of food. Today in European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together    4     (celebrate) over a meal. During the Mid-autumn Festival in China, families usually gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.

With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may die out and others may be established. In order to avoid air     5     (pollute), many big cities have given up     6     custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits during the typical Chinese Spring festival.

Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with business    7     (take)advantage of the celebrations.

Just like coffee, tea grown in different areas     3     (have) different flavors. Some needs drinking with small and delicate tea cups, and some can     4    (drink) from a big bowl.

Chinese people believe tea needs drinking quietly,     5    many of the tea shops are located in a corner of a Hutong, providing customers     6    a very quiet and comfortable environment---but the fast pace of life sometimes doesn’t allow that. So there are tea shop owners who, just     7     Starbucks does, locate their shops in the downtown area to provide service for quick customers.

But in only 5 years, it     9    (expand) 83 stores over China, including big cities like Beijing. Waiting in lines for more than an hour for their tea is a common     10    (occur).

Move over, mochaccino — Chinese tea culture is coming! If a group of senior high school     1    (student) get their way, the world will quite soon be drinking Chinese tea instead     2     coffee. The students created     3     project to make Chinese tea and tea culture     4     (popular) at home and abroad. They     5     (give) speeches on the history and traditions of Chinese tea     6    organized a lot of exciting activities, in     7     people could taste different kinds of tea and even try     8     (pick) tea leaves. The students also used the internet     9     (make) teenagers more interested in tea culture. The project was so     10     (succeed) that the students won second prize in a big international competition. Best of all, they learned to work as a team and use their creativity.
