Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one   (3)    by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the    (4)    to learn to read.

Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it    (5)    to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread    (6)    than ever before.    (7)   , we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.

   The condition for our national artists is similar to that of Chinese writers and scientists   (4)   Mo Yan and Tu Youyou won Nobel Prizes in 2012 and 2015. Just as Chinese people are used to seeing their fellow citizens (同胞们) taking home Nobel Prizes from Stockholm, it is time for them to see that   (5)   an Oscar is also achievable (可实现的).

   There are good reasons for the Chinese people to   (6)   such a bright future.

   First, China is one of the fastest growing film   (7)   in the world. Lots of businesses from home and abroad are willing to invest(投资) here. It will   (8)   more talented people to get into the industry because of more and more relaxed environment for development.

   The latest survey   (9)   Chinese cinemas took a record 6.87 billion yuan (about $1.05 billion) in ticket sales in February, with the monthly box office (票房) going past that of North America for the first time.

Although the smallest hongbao had only 0.01 yuan,in it, my friends and I still had great  (8)  giving and receiving the red envelopes. No matter in which way people send red envelopes, the meaning behind is the same.

However,some people,especially the youngs, spend too much time  (9)  with their mobile(移动的)phones to get the virtual hongbao.This not only makes them lose the time they spend with their family but is  (10)  for their health.So what do you think of the virtual hongbao?Are you for or against it?

English names and Chinese names are quite different in some   (1)   ways, but it's not hard for us to know．Unlike Chinese, most English people have   (2)   names． One is their family name, both of the other names are given names． Their family name is   (3)   the given name． They use Mr, Mrs or Miss with the   (4)   name, but they never use   (5)   with the first name． For example, we can  (6)   a man named James Allan Green Mr Green,   (7)   we can't call him Mr James or Mr Allan． People usually use Jim   (8)  James． Jim is short for James because it's   (9)   to remember．But Chinese names are the opposite． A girl with the name Han Limei   (10)   her family name Han first． Of course, she can be called Ah Mei for short in China if you wish．
