Chinese writing is one of the world’s greatest writing systems. It is more w【1】 in use than alphabetic (字母的) writing systems. More than half of the world’s books are written in Chinese, including historical writings and novels, along with writings on government and law.

At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based l【2】. It dates back several thousand years to the u【3】 of animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved (刻) by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in t【4】 hanzi.

By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were d【5】 geographically, leading to different dialects (方言) and characters. This, however, c【6】 under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty.

Emperor Qinshihuang united (統(tǒng)一) the seven major states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great i【7】 in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still c【8】 in writing. Written Chinese has also become an important method to c【9】 China’s present with its past. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times.

Today, Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a g【10】 role in the world, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate (欣賞) China’s culture through this amazing language. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.

Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modem city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.

Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ____ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.

While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block.

A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is like

Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.

Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks(咔噠聲) with his tongue to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar(聲吶). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind(WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works.

“When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.”

Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using a sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. “It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way,” he says. “But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I’ve never had an accident and hurt myself.”

He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. “We’ve served over 10, 000 students in nearly 40 countries,” he tells the reporter. “Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn’t in the eyes. It’s in the mind.”
