Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For     1    , it is a useful way     2    （release） their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students.     3     many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that     4    （manage）one’s micro blog will take a lot of time and energy,     5     should be used to study.

In my view, I am greatly in favor of this activity. Today the Internet is playing     6     important role in our life. Therefore, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this valuable tool to communicate and display ourselves. What’s more, opening and organizing micro blogs need     7    （vary） abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we improve ourselves while     8     （organize） our micro blogs.

In fact, micro blog     9     （it） is of little harm. It is your attitude     10     it that matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

Every year in China, a day is set aside to honour, and show respect for, the elders and senior citizens in the entire nation. As China has more than 297 million people     1     (age) 60 and over, according to the latest statistics, this day     2     (grow) in popularity over the years.

In the early 1980s, the Chinese government declared that the Chongyang Festival would be the day     3     we celebrate the lives of China’s elder citizens. Of course, showing respect and admiration to     4     old is a Chinese tradition     5     (date) back to ancient times, and therefore the people easily and readily support this day. On this day, the government and local communities hold     6     (variety) activities for the elders, like free hair-cuts, cultural performances and health-care consultations.

However, respect for the elders should     7     (keep) in mind firmly and not restricted to one special day only. According     8     historical records, elders over 70 years old enjoyed special treatment and anyone not showing respect to them would be punished, which proves that respecting the elders was set in law back then.

Apparently, respect for the elders is the     9     (found) of the Chinese moral system. Today, throughout China, we find many examples of young people     10     (carry) on this tradition of respect.

“Military-style” travel has become the     1     (late) fashion among Chinese college students. Videos of them taking such trips     2     (trend) on social media platforms in recent years. The reason why it has become so popular is     3     college students can spend as little money as possible traveling to as many places as they can during the weekend. They usually hop on a regular-speed train on a Friday night, arrive at the destination city and travel     4     (extensive) there on Saturday. Then, they can repeat the same busy schedule     5     returning to their universities on Monday morning.

Different people have different views, with some netizens     6     (praise) these college students for their high ability to implement their plans. However, others doubt     7     such a tight schedule is healthy.

According to some experts, the “military-style” travel is a form of budget travel appealing to specific groups of people who are less     8     (concern) with in-depth experiences and more focused on checking off popular tourist destinations. Therefore, this has led to the emergence of a type of tourism     9     travelers are willing to sacrifice comfort for     10     (affordable) and convenience.

For some people in China, the aim of travel is to create 15-second videos. It’s not about where you’ve been, but about where you’re seen to have been.

Situated on cliffs above a river, Hongyadong is a stilt house complex (建筑群) in     1    city of Chongqing. The bars, restaurants and golden neon lights    2     (be) a popular draw since it was built in 2006. Last year the number of visitors increased    3    (sharp).

The main reason, it seemed, was Hongyadong’s sudden popularity on an app, Douyin,     4    aim is not to produce a well-crafted video, but simply    5    (show) that you have also been to the popular places. The beauty of the    6    (attract) is less important than the fact that people are flocking there to daka.

A subculture of young people who embrace daka as a lifestyle has developed. So-called daka Zu—“daka tribes”—can    7    (find) roaming various scenic spots, checking out as many hot locations    8    possible within a single day.

The daka craze may have    9    (practice)origins. China’s young urban professionals don’t have so much free time. Sometimes, they need to work overtime. So they have to make the best use of their    10    (limit) leisure time. Douyin captures the mood with its slogan.“ Make every second count.”

Recently, an Internet slang word foxi - or “Buddhist” - is becoming increasingly popular as it encourages people, especially     1     young to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflicts as much as possible - in other words, to live like a Buddha.

The word     2     (create) for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men     3     no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without     4     (disturb) and care little about passion and success.

In this fast-changing and competitive world, many people are     5     heavy pressure. It’s only natural that people are seeking a spiritual bay.

However, some would compare “foxi” with “demotivational (无动力的) culture”- a phrase that describes young people feeling     6     (aim) and incapable. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending     7     (keep) a healthy and wise attitude towards     8     (fail) simply because they have no ability to succeed.

All in all, there is one thing that “Buddhist Youngsters” should     9    (basic) keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset,     10     you should never stop fighting for yourselves!

Young Chinese consumers are becoming fans of home-made brands and turning their back on foreign products.

According to a recent survey by weniuan.com, about 96% of the     1     (interview) young people said they were willing to purchase guochao products, which refer to products produced by homegrown brands. At the same time, 91.6% of them expressed their     2    (expectation) for more video programs digging deeper into traditional Chinese culture than before. Over the past decade, Chinese food, drink and personal care brands     3     (expand) their market share by 3.3% to nearly 70%.     4     (gradual), the opinion that foreign products are superior has been abandoned by Chinese youngsters.

The age group of the interviewees ranged from the post-90s generation     5    the post-2000s generation. Unlike older generations     6     might favor Western culture and brands, young Chinese people     7     (raise) when the country’s economy was taking off, so they tend to have strong confidence in their     8    (nation) identity and culture.

The young people, who nowadays have access to     9     wide variety of China’s cultural heritages, are carrying the responsibility of       10     (spread) Chinese culture. Obviously, they’re really doing well.

Every year, around 9. 4 million Chinese students take the college entrance examination. Although young people have more choices nowadays     1     in the past, the examination is still an important, life-changing event. That’s why local authorities and parents have done everything possible to make sure the examination    2    (go) smoothly.

One measure     3     (take) lately is traffic control around examination sites. It aims to create a peaceful environment so that students taking the exam are not distracted. Some are willing to cooperate. They understand students are all    4    great pressure. What’s more, they say traffic control is just temporary. It doesn’t last a very long time. So, it’s not a big deal.

However,     5     everyone thinks so. Some people argue that the first and     6     (important) lesson students should learn before graduation is     7     (respect) other people’s interests. It is not     8    (reason) to disturb other people’s lives for the college entrance examination. The second reason is     9     they think many parents are too sensitive to the college entrance examination. One’s future depends on one’s self, not on society.

Anyway, the whole society has done a lot for students and the exam. In my personal opinion, I take this sacrifice as a sign of special caring for students by society. It is very common to see some traffic     10    (policeman) at the crossroads near high schools during these two special days.
