Zibo city in Shandong province has gone viral on Chinese social media since late February for its local barbecue specialty, and the local government takes the opportunity     1     (promote) tourism and spending.

Barbecue is popular in China, but Zibo’s barbecue differs     4     three ways-it’s made on a stove, and is served with flatbread (小饼) and dressings (蘸料). The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, on     5     diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, leading to     6     sense of participation. Diners are served flatbreads and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble     7     (they) own barbecue parcels, in much the same way Peking duck is eaten.

The barbecue     8     (unexpected) went viral after a group of college students shot videos of themselves     9     (enjoy) a meal and posted them on social media in late February. Since then, many people, mostly the young,     10     (attract) to the city from all over the country to try the dish.

There are     2     (vary) theories about the origin of Singles Day in China. One of the popular theories     3     (be) that Singles Day originated from campus culture. In 1993，four senior students at Nanjing University came up with     4     idea of organizing activities on Nov. 11 as a day for single people.     5    (gradual) accepted by society, this festival attracts more and more people.

When shopping day meets Singles Day, what will people do?

It is the young consumers     10     have strong desire to buy that day. They like the discounts of the goods.

My wife is addicted to shopping on the Internet.     1     seems that she can’t stop herself from clicking with the mouse. Let me tell you what happened last night. It was the     2     (three) time that she had shopped online for hours. I had already asked her     3     (think) twice before buying anything,     4     my wife ignored what I said and replied     5     (confident), “With the Chinese New Year     6     (approach), preparation is necessary.

China’s TikTok, which     1    (take) the world by storm in the past three years, is working its magic in its home nation, too.

In the annual report of     2    (it) parent company ByteDance this week, the Chinese version of TikTok, called Douyin, has accumulated(积累) 400 million daily active users. This is an     3    (impress) growth for the addictive video app, which had 250 million daily active users in January last year.

The report not only describes the user behavior and trends,     4    also shows the cultural difference     5    China and the US.

Also, in the US, it seems that it’s mostly teenagers     7     are creating the dances, but in China those who produce the most dance videos are users born in     8    1960s.

With Douyin, users can record videos, edit them and share them online. It is a great way to spend the leisure time     9    (watch) these funny videos. Now, Douyin has established itself as one of the largest knowledge, culture and art     10    (platform) in China.

This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article,     1    (vary) people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some     2    (advance) in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease     3    (accept) technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident,     4     the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.

    5     the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world     6     live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians     7    (live) in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They     8    (live) mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate     9     simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued     10     the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities.

Some consumers still tend to focus on labels,     1     (feel) proud that they have a product made in Italy. They don’t know that a growing number of Italian products come from Chinese-owned factories. The products     2     were marked “Made in China” gave buyers an     3     (impress) of “low pride and low costs, low technology and development”. The statement used to be true,     4     now it has changed. “Made in China” is becoming a leading part in the world market. China’s garment (衣服) industry has been investing in producing technology and training for     5     (decade), and its workforce has gotten better at sewing garments. As a result, the quality of Chinese-made clothes is rising fast. It has been home     6     a highly-skilled, highly-specialized garment industry, one that supplies even some high-end labels and offers the     7     (good) mix of price, speed, and quality in the world.

Nowadays, products made in China     8     (recognize) by luxury fashion brands.

Rising sea levels are threatening coastlines in China, for example in     1    (city) such as Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou.     2     sea levels rise by one meter, more than 92,000 square kilometers of China’s coast could be flooded.

Almost two-thirds of the ice in Asia’s glaciers (冰川) could disappear if average global temperature rises beyond 1.5℃ by the end of the century. If that happens, the impacts     4     China will be felt in many areas, from water availability, to agriculture, and to biological surroundings. The good news is     5     China is becoming a global leader on climate action. For example, over the last five years, China     6    (use) more solar and wind energy than any other country in the world. China is also the     7    (large) clean energy investor in the world — spending $130 billion in new energy in recent years. The development of electric vehicles is particularly inspiring in China.
