For you, the“Clear and Bright”day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday—the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students  (1)   (much) than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms (二十四节气).

But this ancient system that Chinese people have used   (2)   (keep) track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）on Nov. 30.

To be fair, the terms do sound old; they   (3)   (invent) thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural   (4)   (activity). But the truth is  (5)   they still have an influence on our lives today, even if we don’t realize it most of the time. For example, people from  (6)   (north) China are in the habit of eating dumplings   (7)   the day of Winter Solstice (冬至). And on Start of Autumn, some treat   (8)   (they) to a big feast, especially of meat, something they call“putting on autumn weight”, or tieqiubiao. According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun, the system is a philosophy of time,   (9)   applies to everything. And this means they are   (10)   (likely) to die out.

Being raised in a family of teachers, I   (1)   (get) plenty of chances to connect with literature since a young age. So I have many stories about me and reading.

It was my father who took me on the road to reading and made me appreciate  (2)  (it) beauty. When I was a little girl, he bought me a book   (3)  (name) The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I was too young to read this difficult work, so my father explained it to me   (4)  (patient). From then on, I started to enjoy reading books.

When I became a middle school student, I began to read some simplified English classics on my own. Sometimes, I would write down my thoughts and  (5)  (feel) and share them with my father. Among all the books that I read during my middle school years, Jane Eyre left the   (6)  (deep) impression on me. I was having some difficulties with my studies at that time,  (7)  Jane Eyre’s persistence (坚持) and courage inspired me a lot. Thanks to my reading habit, I managed  (8)   (overcome) the difficulty of my studies.

Now, I’m a senior high school student and very busy with my studies. But I still keep on reading in my spare time. My mother told me that I should be absorbed   (9)  my studies, but in my point of view, I regard reading as an oasis(绿洲) that can make me relax.

Recently, I thought about the benefits  (10)  reading could bring us. Reading can clear our minds and motivate us. In addition, we may broaden our horizons and gain more knowledge through reading. I hope that my story can inspire you to start your own reading adventure.

I was at the store yesterday and bought some lovely flowers. One bunch was for me, one bunch was  (1)  (thank) a friend for welcoming me into the community where I am living now, and the third was for a stranger. I left the store, bought some beautiful wrapping paper, and   (2)  
 (wrap) two of the bunches.   (3)   I got through the mall, I saw a lovely old couple walking
  (4)   the opposite direction hand in hand. I noticed on the lady's suit the words   (5)  (be) "school cleaner", so I walked to her and presented her with one of the   (6)   (bunch) of flowers.

   I said, "These are for you, have a wonderful day!" The couple expressed their thanks. I smiled and kept   (7)   (move) on. I did glance back for a moment only to see her filled with joy looking at the flowers and smiling   (8)   (happy) with her husband. I felt so happy! What a lovely day it was. It is so   (9)   (wonder) to give something daily. Great for you and the recipient. I believed that I made her afternoon more colorful. Have   (10)   beautiful day!

When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy. I have forgotten what it was about, but I have never forgotten what I learned that day.

    I   (1)  （think） that “I” was right and “he” was wrong, but he argued that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided   (2)  （teach）us a very important   (3)  . After she brought us up to the front of the class, she placed the boy on one side of her desk and     (4)     （I）on the other. In the middle of her desk, there   (5)  （be）a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. But the boy said it was white! Another argument started   (6)   us. The teacher told me to stand   (7)   the boy had been standing and told him to stand at my former place. We changed   (8)  （place）, and now I could see the color was “white.”

    It was an object with two differently   (9)  （color） sides. From his viewpoint it was white, but from my side it was black. Sometimes we need to look at a problem from the other person’s view in order to   (10)  （true） understand his or her view.
