※Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was 【1】, but under the beauty 【2】（這首曲子格外地美, 但在這種美的背后我感受到了一種強烈的悲傷和痛苦。）。

※If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you're expected to be there at noon. If you're even 15 minutes late, your friend may get mad. So I【3】when I meet my friends（所以當(dāng)我和朋友會面時, 我會努力守時. ). I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think 【4】（為了避免交通擁擠, 我總是早早地離開家, 因為我認(rèn)為讓別人等特是不禮貌的。）.

※Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are城they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright【5】（它們被看作是幸福和美好祝愿的光明象征。）.

Garbage sorting is a big project worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it. People are asked to sort garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable（可回收的）, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is things you don't want but that pigs can eat.

Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine and batteries.

Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the "dry waste" bin.

If you don't sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾填埋場）. These landfills will take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things.

Dear students,

What do you do with the garbage? If all the garbage is put into one bin and go to a landfill, it will not only waste land but also 【1】 the soil and groundwater. Garbage【2】 can solve the problems. We can sort our garbage into 【3】 bins: the used batteries should be thrown into the“【4】”bin；The metal parts of the broken pens should be grouped into the "recyclable" bin; When we have some leftover food, we should throw them into the “【5】.”bin; The other waste will go into the "dry waste" bin. In a word, let's take action!

Sincerely,

The Student Union

If you can dream it, you can do it. It is what they say in the United States. American Dream is the idea that anyone can become【1】（success). There are lots of stories about American Dream- Here is one of them.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland, UK, in 1835. He moved to America at the age of 13 with a few dollars. But by 1400, he owned millions of dollars. It seemed that he was a man 【2】was born with the ability to do business.

When he arrived there, he started working in 【3】 small factory, making just $1.20 a week But he 【4】(behave) excellently and impressed his boss deeply. So he got lots of 【5】 (chance) in the factory. Then, he 【6】 (offer) a job in Pennsylvania Railways Station. While there, he was promoted(升職）for his good work.

【7】, it was during the 1870s that Carnegie really began to make his luck. Then he built his fast steel company in 1892. In 1901, it became one of【8】(big) company in the world.

After Carnegie became a millionaire, he was known 【9】 giving away a large number of money to help the poor. He also wrote a number of books 【10】（make) people know more about the history of America, including Triumphant Democracy. His spirit inspired a lot of young people in America.

Development in technology now brings us closer than ever before. We can keep in touch with our friends 【1】（通過）calling or e-mailing from a thousand kilometers away.

However, did we ever think about what we are losing? As a person who likes writing letters, I often feel 【2】（沮喪, 悲哀）. These days, few people give letter writing a fair chance. Maybe you think it is out of 【3】（樣式, 款式）. But in my mind, I【4】（更喜歡）writing and sending letters more often.

To begin with, there's lots of love in handwritten letters. And they bring much more 【5】（溫暖）because we spend more time. Writing letters helps us to 【6】（表達(dá)）how much we care about them in a special way.

So when we 【7】（收到）a letter, we feel we are loved, remembered and missed. In fact, the 【8】（過程）of writing a letter can make us feel happy, too. When we sit down and think about what we are writing, we allow ourselves to relax our【9】（大腦）.

April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. If they were teased, they were called fools.

Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle, so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that the person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, 電動車). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.

"Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging (充電) an electric car，" said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充電樁) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014，China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging piles in total.

Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.

"As China goes, so will the world's car industry," The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.
