Horses, SpongeBob and the Monkey King from Chinese legend — you probably wouldn’t expect to see this collection of animals, pop cultural icons and mythological creatures 【小题1】 (fly) together in the sky, but this event happens every year in Weifang, the World Kite Capital in Shandong Province.

Kites, which were invented over 2,000 years ago in China【小题2】 (believe) to be the earliest flying objects created by humans. After centuries of development, kites have become one of the country’s 【小题3】 (represent) handicrafts, and kite-making technique was included in 【小题4】 list of China’s national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

The city of Weifang is known as a global center of kite culture 【小题5】 it is widely regarded as the birthplace of these popular flying toys. Today in Weifang, the themes of kites are 【小题6】 (incredible) diverse, encompassing (包 含 ) animals, cultural relics, myths, and legends. Besides, there are virtually no limitations on the shapes or sizes of kites, which can be made【小题7】(show) people’s ideals and ambitions. This 【小题8】 (diverse) can be observed at the annual Weifang International Kite Festival, 【小题9】 has been held on the third Saturday of every April since 1984. More than 10,000 participants from over 30 countries and regions around the world compete 【小题10】 the festival every year.

Whether they are playing on our TV screens or printed in newspapers, advertisements are everywhere.

They 【小题1】(appear) since the 18th and 19th century when advances in printing techniques allowed more detailed images 【小题2】 ( produce ) in newspapers and magazines. Advertising often serves as an indicator for   【小题3】society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time.

In spite of being designed to sell 【小题4】advertise something, some ads can even have a【小题5】(tend) to become part of a society's dialect. For example, in the UK, if someone describes themselves 【小题6】a “Marmite Person”, this means that you may either love them or hate them, 【小题7】(base) on the British food Marmite’s slogan (标语), “Love it or hate it.”

The average person living in a city sees thousands of ads every single day. It seems that ads are a【小题8】(big) part of everyday life than we think they are. Instead of finding them【小题9】(trouble), however, at least we can be assured that future generations will have an interesting way to see how we lived—no matter how 【小题10】(great) today’s world may change to them.

The Great Wall of the ancient Qi State,the oldest【小题1】(exist) Great Wall in China, stretches across Shandong for more than 600 kilometers. It【小题2】(build) during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

“Historical records say the Qi State built the wall here to defend itself【小题3】its enemies, as well as to stop flooding【小题4】(effective),” says An Xingzhu, who worked at the town’s culture station for more than three decades. A key task of the station is【小题5】(protect) cultural relics.

In the 1970s，parts of the rammed earth wall(夯土墙)were dug out and used by farmers for their land, but since the early 1990s, the local government【小题6】(start) to take measures to protect the wall.

Rapid development and【小题7】(construct) have brought many new problems and challenges in protecting the wall.【小题8】is necessary to provide a solid legal guarantee for its conservation. To tackle the challenges, Shandong Province has passed a regulation protecting the structure【小题9】will take effect on Jan. 1.

It states that local governments will establish a dynamic conservation system using remote sensing satellites, drones, information platforms and other technological【小题10】(mean) to monitor the Great Wall.
