Finally, in the 20th century, the southern part of Ireland     1     the UK, which     2     the full name we have today: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Most people just use the     3     name: “the United Kingdom” or “the UK”. People from the UK are called “British”, which means the UK is also often     4     as Britain or Great Britain.

The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history     1     (explore). Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you     2     (surround) by evidence of four different groups of people     3     took over at different times throughout history.

First, the Romans came. Some of their great     4     (achievement) included building towns and roads. Next, the Anglo-Saxons     5     (arrive). Then, the Vikings. The last group were the Normans. They had castles     6     (build) all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered     7     the English language.

International Workers’ Day is a day to show respect for the working people and advocate the spirit of hard work. The Chinese are known as hardworking and inventive people. Since its reform and opening-up in the late 1970s, China has lifted more than 770 million people out of     1    (poor). It is now the second     2    (large) economy in the world. The Chinese working people have risen to the challenges, working hard to overcome adverse circumstances such as the COVID-19 epidemic.     3    (realize) the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation relies on the diligent work of people from all walks of life. The working people should take the lead and have complete confidence in this great cause.

China has achieved a total victory in lifting the whole nation out of poverty(贫困). The poverty relief policy was put forward in November 2013.     1     (finish) this task, about 800,000 officials have been sent to work at local levels. In the past 8 years, China     2    (lift) 98.99 million poor rural     3     (resident) - a population larger than all but a few countries - out of poverty under the current poverty line.

9 . The year 2018 marks the 40^th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up. The past four decades has seen China shift its society from a farmers’ community to a digital culture     1     (successful). Under the leadership of CPC, many     2     (achievement) can be seen in every field. The life of the Chinese people has improved, with millions of people being lifted out of poverty. The country now has the world’s     3     (large) high-speed rail network. And with around 800 million Internet users, China has become the world’s fastest-growing online shopping market.

10 . On the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) — the Hadza. They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.

Their world is one of complete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.

We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry.

The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.

The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.

Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food — takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.
