Earlier this month, a short video swept over the Internet, 【小题1】 (show) a Chinese schoolgirl who analyzed the Russia-Ukraine crisis with reference to Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

This video even attracted attention from the Philippine Foreign Secretary Teddy Locsin Jnr.He was so impressed by 【小题2】 Chinese classic that he 【小题3】 (report) to have even thought of sending his granddaughter to study in China.

Indeed, some Chinese ancient classics consist of Chinese 【小题4】 (wise) and philosophy which still have referential significance for contemporary society. For example,Teddy told the Global Times 【小题5】 he took away from The Art of War are three lessons. The first is only to enter battles you know you can win completely, the second is to do everything you can 【小题6】 (achieve) your goals, and the third is to make plans 【小题7】 (secret).

According to analysts, these books share universal 【小题8】 (value). The core of 【小题9】 (they) is peace, harmony and a win-win attitude 【小题10】 which the Chinese nation attaches importance. They are in the DNA of Chinese people and people in other countries should learn from them.

A couple of years ago, on one of 【小题1】 hottest days of the year, I was pulling my car into my home when I saw a man cutting the grass at the bank next door. I didn’t know him, but I 【小题2】 (realize) he needed a cold drink. I【小题3】 (quick) went in the house and took a drink 【小题4】 my fridge and went back outside. Then I stood on my sidewalk where he could see me when he turned the mower (割草机) around. I held up the drink and pointed to him. He nodded. When he came over to accept the bottle from me, he thanked me again 【小题5】 again and said he was just now considering 【小题6】 (go) to the nearby gas station to get something to drink. Ever since that day, he 【小题7】 (do) a lot of things for me. He often cuts the grass around my sidewalk, and gives me good 【小题8】 (suggestion) whenever I need help. However, he refuses 【小题9】 (take) any pay for all these things. He just shakes my hand and gives me a smile each time. I’ve been repaid in 【小题10】 (kind) so many times.

She was sure the fish was bad. 【小题8】 would happen to her friends? She at once telephoned the family doctor for help. The doctor wanted each guest to meet him. Once again Mrs. Wilson was alone in her chair still tired   【小题9】 no longer happy. Just then the telephone rang.
