In the rush of industrialization, many traditional skills have slowly disappeared out of people’s sight. Luckily, there is a small studio     1     (name) “I’m Mr. Chu” in Beijing, where visitors can appreciate traditional handmade paper, showcasing the charm of the ancient skill.

As one of ancient China’s four great inventions, paper-making technology was     2     (original) invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Hail Dynasty. Then it spread all over the world, greatly     3     (promote) the development of human society.

Chu is a kind of deciduous (落叶的) tree. Its bark is a common raw material used in paper making in ancient times. Han Yu,     4     famous writer of prose during the Tang Dynasty, called paper Mr. Chu in his work Biography of Mao Ying. Since then it     5     ( use) as a nickname for paper.

Cui Zhenshuo and Yang Bo came in contact with handmade paper quite by accident. Cui and Yang discovered that due     6     the remote location of most paper workshops, their products were unable to directly reach the market. Therefore,     7     (connect) rural workshops with buyers, Cui and Yang came up with the idea of establishing their own studio. In 2019, Cui and Yang founded “I’m Mr. Chu”.

The two launched a series of handmade paper samples. Each volume consists of 30 types of handmade paper, each of     8     is sourced from its place of origin, “We expect that more people can learn about handmade paper in China,” said Cui.

“We bond with handmade paper not because we love paper,     9     because it has a tremendous charm that attracts us to dig deep.

There are also many stories related to this traditional craft that always interest you,” Cui told China Today.

The Shenzhou XVI crew returned to Earth on Tuesday morning,     1     (conclude) a historic five-month mission.

The spaceship’s reentry capsule, carrying mission commander Major General Jing Haipeng, Colonel Zhu Yangzhu and Professor Gui Haichao,     2     (touch) down at 8:11 am after flying nearly 12 hours on its return journey.

After safety checks outside, the astronauts     3     (carry) out and placed on chairs in front of the capsule, and they shared their     4     (experience) with a reporter in a live program.

Jing said they were excited to “return to our motherland” and that the orbital stay inside the Tiangong space station was     5     “very cool journey”. He said his teammates performed     6     (excellent) during the mission, they got along very well     7     one another and together managed     8     (honor) their commitment to the motherland and the people.

Teens can be hard to communicate with. There is     1     time when talking is almost impossible. Even walking near them, or in the same room can start an     2     (argue).    3     being a frustrating (令人沮丧的) period for the entire family, I believe there are always ways to solve it.

To communicate with them, we need some     4     (wise). So, I started writing to them how I was feeling. No matter     5     busy I was, I would take a notebook and write down why I was upset, which always calmed me down. I was able to get down in writing the feelings I probably would not have been able to say.

Then,I took the notebook with a pen, walked near them, and     6    (lay) the notebook as close to them as possible, often without any eye contact, saying,“I wrote you something”,and immediately leaving the room. Usually, the     7     (describe) of my feelings I wrote to them was     8     great use to our communication.

Each time, they would write back to me. So far, this type of communication has worked on us, and we still use it. When talking will just create     9     (much) trouble than it will solve, writing it down makes it easier     10    (say) what you need to say and to listen to what they need to say.

As one of the three major drinks in the world, tea is also the most consumed drink after water on earth. Since tea trees     1     (discover) thousands of years ago, the drink has become closely integrated with daily life and has developed into     2     unique culture.

How could such a little leaf from nature generate such great power? An ongoing exhibition     3     (focus) on tea culture manages     4     (explorer) the answer by offering visitors a comprehensive view of the drink.

The World of Tea: Special Exhilition of Tea Culture takes place at the Wu Men Exhibition Hall of the Palace Museum from September 2 to November 30 in Beijing. It displays 555 items       5     (attach) to tea culture, many of     6     are representative collections of 30 cultural institutions and museums at home and abroad.

Furthermore, it also provides insights into a cultural phenomenon’s origins, evolution and     7     (remark) achievements while emphasizing how it has acted as a unifying thread connecting diverse regions and fostering the integration of various ethnic groups. Using tea as a medium, it displays the essence of Chinese tea culture, and also embodies the Chinese philosophical     8     (pursue) of unity between heaven and humanity.

What’s honesty? Being honest is being open and worth     1     (trust). When people are honest, they can     2     (depend) on not to lie, cheat, or steal. If they tell you that they like you, you know they really mean it, because they wouldn’t say anything just to get their way or to make an     3     (impress).

If someone seems friendly, honesty means they are     4     (true) friendly, just because they want to be friends, not     5     any hidden reasons. With honesty, you can trust things     6     (be) as they appear.

Honesty is telling the truth even when the truth could make someone     7     (disappoint). Honesty means not exaggerating (夸大) something just to impress others. Being honest means you don’t make promises     8     can’t be kept. You do what you said you would do. Your actions match your words.

Why should we practice honesty? When someone lies, cheats, or steals, people around him can’t trust him. If someone makes up lots of     9     (story) to cover up a mistake, it’s hard to correct     10     mistake. Then he feels worse and worse about it.
