The integration of Eastern and Western drinks is not simply a    6     (combine), but a new flavor supported by new materials and processes.

A Beijing “silent” coffee shop is a big hit lighting up the life of hearing impaired (障碍的) youth. The café     1    (call) Beijing’s Rainbow Angel Cafe is founded by Lee Shao-hwa. The cafe trains hearing impaired youth to make snacks free     2    charge. Over the past six years, the coffee shop     3    (train) around 60 young people with hearing impairments. By doing this job, they are accepted by others and live a       4    (meaning) life.

Customers     5     enter the shop can’t miss the colorful, hand-painted signs at the entrance “Our chefs are hearing impaired. Please communicate with     6    (patient).” They can not speak,     7     they can communicate in a special way. Speech-to-text software has been installed on a computer at the front desk, which makes       8     easy for customers to communicate with them. When customers place an order, the hearing-impaired servers use the computer to read their requests. Then customers can     9    (delighted) drink cups of coffee in quiet corners and taste snacks available. If customers wish, they can even consult a booklet about basic sign language. For example,    10     (express) their thanks, customers can bend a thumb twice.

Citywalk is a new travel trend for youngsters to explore different cultural spots. Gather together a couple of good friends and take a walk through the streets — this is     1     many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, Citywalk means wandering around the city on foot. They can follow a fantastic urban route, experiencing the atmosphere,     2     (explore) old buildings, sipping a cup of coffee, or tasting a variety of local snacks.

In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from the first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai     3     the second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers     4     (take) part in. Some organizers invite folk culture    5     (researcher) and enthusiasts to act as tour guides. Citywalk not only     6     (offer) a way for young people to interact with a city but also provides     7     (they) with a new social scene.

In history, countless women     1    (fight) for gender equality. Mulan cut off her waist-length hair and disguised herself as a male warrior. Then came Marie Curie, who believed everyone was gifted for something and that that thing,     2     whatever cost, must be attained. In a time when stereotypes were placed upon women, their stories just empowered females.

It was these trailblazers     3     paved the way to the gender equality nowadays. In China, over half of the graduates today are women,     4    (surpass) males for the first time. At Tokyo this year, women made up 49 percent of     5     Olympic competitors. By comparison, in the 1908 games, men outnumbered women 53 to 1.

However, after the struggle of     6    (generation), are we seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? Nowadays, single women in their thirties are leftover women,     7     men in their thirties are golden bachelors. Women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman makes only 77 percent of what the average working man makes.

And my grandmother has just called me this morning to instruct me the stage etiquette of being sweet and     8    (adore). She did not know that over half of the national finalists are girls, and many of them have won the semi-finals by     9    (wear) black dark suits instead of the pink dresses, as she has said.

The power of ideals has enabled women to be equal counterparts to men. I believe the whole world will treat both men and women     10    (equal), just in the way that the judges have done to the contestants in this speech competition.

For the public, cultural activities are gradually becoming necessities of     1     (they) lives. For Liu Ziqi,     2     eight-year-old museum lover in Beijing, this winter vacation has proved a rather busy one, as she made a to-go list for newly opened exhibitions in the Chinese capital. The museums are changing their forms these days     3     (attract) more people.

During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday     4     (start) from Jan. 21, museums in Beijing received 1.01 million visits, up 34 percent year on year. Like Liu, more and more young people, some not     5     (necessary) big fans of museums, chose to spend some of their leisure time in a museum.

“There were more special exhibitions and more joint exhibitions, especially the one     6     the National Museum and the Palace Museum,” Liu said,     7     she was asked about the most notable change during her latest museum visit.

A     8     (profession) museum tour guide for over 10 years, Bai Xuesong observed that more visitors were expecting specialized introductions to the ins and outs behind the cultural relics. “Visitors     9     (begin) asking questions, and sometimes we couldn’t give an answer,” Bai said, adding that this indicated a change in the relationship between tour     10     (guide) and visitors — from “teaching” to communication and learning.

Recently, residents in a youth apartment building in downtown Shenzhen have planted the seed, cultivating (形成)     1     unique city lifestyle. They can farm their own land, which can     2     (access) just an elevator ride away to the top of their building. There they can grow vegetables, while     3     (communicate) with other renters and taking in the skyline of the city.

Huang Suyun, the founder of the youth apartment building,     4     (see) positive changes in her own life since “farming” and other social activities were introduced to the rooftop of it.     5     (additional), the experience of tending the gardens allows her     6     (make) friends and get to know others who cither live in the building or visit from outside.

The rooftop heaven covers a total area of 450 square meters and consists     7     a sightseeing zone, a shaded leisure area as well as the urban farming section. “There’s space to exercise, like doing yoga at the leisure zone, and then to walk over to check the vegetables,” says Xie Jing, an architect     8     undertook the project.

An increasing number of urban     9     (resident) at home and abroad have started to seek a social life that promotes environmental     10     (protect) and personal health, which is good news for sustainability and community activity development, experts say.

“A barbecue restaurant owner I know told me to come back on Monday, so as to leave the weekends to out-of-town visitors.” said Huang Yang, a native of Zibo city in Shandong province     1     works outside his hometown. He recently returned home for a visit and wanted to have some barbecue,     2     he failed to find seats in four different restaurants.

Thanks to social media recommendations, Zibo has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms.    3     (video) on sites such as Xiaohongshu show thousands of people traveling to the city to try its local barbecue, which they say     4     (wrap) in a pancake and has a “distinct taste” .

Taking advantage of the barbecue craze, Zibo has gone all out to promote local tourism resources, while     5     (work) to ensure the safety of visitors and the quality of tourism products. To provide visitors     6     a happy experience, market regulators have carried out inspections on barbecue restaurants to ensure food safety. Police have increased     7     number of patrol (巡逻) personnel to ensure visitors’ safety. Railway authorities have even added two additional high-speed trains between the     8     (province) capital Jinan and Zibo on weekends to meet the growing passenger demand. The local government now has released a map of barbecue joints and added 21 new bus routes     9     (facilitate) urban transportation.

According to data from on-demand service platform Meituan, Zibo has seen an 800 percent increase in accommodation bookings for the upcoming holiday     10     (compare) to 2019, ranking first in Shandong province in terms of growth rate.

Provinces in China are putting efforts into the construction of digital villages. Through e-commerce, the government has taken measures     1     (increase) sales of local agricultural products. The online sales channels have been     2     (effective) expanded through brand recommendations, online and offline agricultural festival     3     (activity). Some farms are equipped with “planting brain”, with the basic conditions of agriculture in the district     4     (display) on the screen. This brings about lower cost and     5     (high) labor efficiency. Xu Yuejin, a 66-year-old grain farmer,     6     (witness) the technological advancement in the past years, and he is now skilled at using not only conventional tools,     7     drones (无人机) and other unmanned machinery to realize automatic farming. Agriculture in the digital village is     8     industry that is more than just     9     (apply) new advanced technology. Villagers’ lives are     10     vital importance as well. Therefore, digital healthcare and digital education have been promoted in villages. Soon digitalization will greatly shape the direction of the rural agriculture and rural modernization.

Society is changing at a rapidly increasing rate in this present-day age. This speed of change     1     (believe) to be creating a direct impact on our mental as well as physical health in our life.

Society observes the rules of nature and law and is changing to be     2     (good) than before. It is reasonable as the survival of the fittest is the need of the development of the time. For instance, an     3     (employ) working in a company is unable     4     (deal) with working overtime while the rest of his fellow workers are not only ready but are very     5     (excite) to work and acquire new skills and abilities, then it is a matter of concern for that person as he will be left behind in the race of progression (发展). This instance describes     6     clear picture of how important it is to keep up with the rapid development of society.

Despite the professional satisfaction associated with rapid changing, the idea     7     it brings any other kind of satisfaction is false. Some statistics have shown that the percentage of people getting ill due     8     workload pressure and continuous changes has increased from 5% in 1995 to 50% in 2020.

In a word, it is     9     (necessarily) to keep a good balance between catching up with the pace of social development and     10     (maintain) a healthy lifestyle.
