China is a land of bicycles. People use their bicycles to get around. For many, it is the     1    (easy) way to travel around. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow     2     you want. It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. And bicycles allow people the     3    (free) move about that other vehicles can’t provide.

Last Saturday, I jumped up on my newly-bought bicycle seat and started home. It was the first time that I     4    (ride) a bike here. My first ride home was orderly. To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came     5    (run) swiftly out of nowhere. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride     6    (careful). Crossing the streets was challenging. As you know, the streets were wide. So crossing took time, skill and     7     little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling     8     the bicycle was excellent     9     felt the air hitting my face and going through my hair, it seemed as if I were on top of the world as I passed by     10    (place) and people. Biking made me feel alive.

China, once famous for four inventions in ancient times, has once again showed its ability     1     (change) the world with its “new four great inventions”: electronic payments, shared bicycles, high-speed railways and online shopping.

With electronic payments, people can buy and eat     2     they want simply with a tap of their phones. Electronic payments are so convenient that they are really popular with folks. Even pancake sellers are found     3    (use) Alipay. The bikes themselves are not new,     4    the operating model of bike-sharing is innovative. Chinese companies have surprised the world with the business model of bike-sharing which     5     (include) high technologies, and are entering overseas markets such as Singapore and Britain. The launch of high-speed trains has a       6    (big) influence on people’s choice of traveling than expected. The newly launched Fuxing Hao can travel at an    7     (amaze) speed of 300 km/h, making the 1,318km joumey in five and three-quarter hours. China also takes the lead in online shopping with various e-commerce platforms.     8     the 11.11 shopping day in 2018, sales hit 10 billion yuan in the first 2 minutes after midnight and     9    (reach) 213. 5 billion by the end of the day.

Thanks to the large amounts of capital (资金) China has invested in encouraging inmovation (创新), China has entered     10     new innovative time.
