Before coming to China to teach, I wrongly assumed that there would be much     1     (difficult) for me since I couldn’t speak Chinese well. Nevertheless, while it presented some interesting challenges, I cannot stress enough how warm the majority of people I met     2     (be).

Making friends was my big concern     3     first but I soon settled in and became good friends with the fellow teachers. There weren’t many foreigners at the school in     4     I was teaching, but I had plenty of friendly neighbours     5     (keep) me company. They often had me round for dinner!

In China, teachers     6     (normal) get several weeks off for Chinese New Year, so I was fortunate enough to travel a bit. I loved walking along the Great Wall and visiting the Forbidden City.

When it comes to my favourite Chinese food, how can I possibly choose?! Every meal was a feast, especially with the low cost of living which meant eating out wasn’t just something     7     (luxury). While I loved the big crowded dinners with 20+ dishes on the table, I was     8     big fan of the homemade dumplings my friend made for me. I'd strongly consider going back just to taste them again!

Overall, it can't be     9     (good) if you can have the chance to teach in China for some time. I’d absolutely do it again if     10     (give) the chance.

2 . Every year on the third Sunday in June, Father’s Day is celebrated by families all around the world. We celebrate and honor fathers and their influence in our lives. Apart from your biological father, you can also celebrate grandfathers, stepfathers, and others you consider father figures.     1    

The history of Father’s Day goes back to 1908, when a church in West Virginia honored 362 men killed the previous year in a coal mining explosion. The following year, a woman named Dodd started her quest to establish Father’s Day as a national holiday.     2     So she thought fathers should be honored in the same way as mothers.

    3     It was finally declared a national holiday in 1972. It took more than 60 years from the birth of the idea to Father’s Day actually being recognized as a holiday.     4     In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a national movement to get rid of both Mother’s and Father’s Day and replace them with one “Parent’s Day”. Meanwhile, many fathers didn’t want such a holiday. After all, as the only breadwinners at the time, they didn’t particularly want their hard-earned cash spent on flowers and chocolates.

    5     Struggling businessmen pushed the gift-giving holiday during the Depression, and during the War, Father’s Day became a way to honor the many fathers serving overseas. By the time President Nixon signed the Father’s Day as a holiday, it was already a national institution.

A．Dodd was one of six children raised by their single father.

B．Therefore, the history of Father’s Day isn’t straightly accepted.

C．A lot happened to threaten the parent-celebrating holidays then.

D．We have the answers to your wonder about this dad-centered day.

E．Give them a nice dad gift to show how much you appreciate them!

F．Dodd’s home state of Washington celebrated Father’s Day in 1910.

G．The Great Depression and World War II helped boost the idea of Father’s Day.
