China’s best-preserved rainforest is in Hainan, the only place in the world     6     (find) the Hainan black-crested gibbon(黑冠长臂猿). Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park protects the gibbons and     7     (they) environment.

Unlike those three, Wuyishan National Park in Fujian Province and Sanjiangyuan National Park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau focus     8     (much) on preserving multiple animals than     9     (specific) protecting one species.

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.

Nowadays more and more people like to travel,     1     (especial) when vacations come.A great number of people rush out of their homes or companies to     2     (travel) spots. They either drive or take a bus, a train, a ship     3     so on. Some even ride bikes.

However, there     4     (be) another way of travelling—poorism. People have a tour in     5     poorest areas of the worlds Some people may take a one-day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods     6     (experience) the lowest living standards in the worlds Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world     7       (country).You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas.These tours may awaken people to pay     8     (much) attention to long-standing poverty, or the effects of war.

Some think that tours in the poor areas can raise social care. And the money from the tour can     9     (donate) to help the people     10     live there.

For the first time in 94 years, the Palace Museum has extended its opening hours, allowing the public to celebrate the Lantern Festival at night in the ancient palace.

About 3,000 lucky visitors received free tickets from the government, among     1     was Zhang Zhifu, a 77-year-old public security volunteer. It’s a mark of gratitude for her volunteer work. “It is       2     (true) an honor to be granted this special privilege,” Zhang said.

To guarantee the     3     (safe) of the palace, festival organizers     4     (plan) this year’s Lantern Festival event used LED lights rather than traditional paper lanterns and red candles. It’s a fascinating event for visitors to absorb     5     (they) in the festive atmosphere in the museum. Discussion of the   Palace Museum’s new look lit up social media following Tuesday’s display.

Since he became director of the Palace Museum, Shan Jixiang     6     (bring) many changes to the world’s     7     (large) royal complex (建筑群). Once in a speech the 64-year-old director shared his idea about how to make traditional     8     (treasure) come alive again. “     9     matters to a museum is not how many visitors they have, but how close they are     10     people’s daily lives,” he said.

This summer I travelled from noisy Beijing to Wuzhen, a beautiful village in Zhejiang Province. Unfolded before me was     1     unique image of this water country—the stone bridge and the water flowing, all like fairy tales to me.

However,     2     impressed me most was not the natural scenery but the scene of a grandma bathing a little baby in a wooden basin with the door open. My friends couldn’t help     3     (take) pictures of them. To my surprise, the grandma smiled and waved at us. All of a sudden, my heart was filled with     4     (warm).

I shared the photo and my     5     (forget) experience with my friends. They were     6     (simple) moved as I was, but at the same time they reminded me of the unpleasant experiences in big cities. We feel embarrassed to see people quarreling in public because they     7     (step) on accidentally by strangers.

According to a recent survey     8     (make) in November 2016: 45 percent of the residents don’t know the names of their neighbors; 63 percent have never devoted     9     (they) to talking to their neighbors; 67 percent think that the relationship between them and their neighbors is just so-so, or even bad.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful to say hello to our neighbors who just came back     10     work and give them a smile?
