Suddenly, old-fashioned road trips are in style again. Websites, newspapers, magazines and even 【小题1】(book) are featuring road trips, even though they are actually 【小题2】long-standing American tradition in pop culture, from the 1950s Beat Generation literary classic “On the Road” to the 1983 comedy movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation”. In some ways, the comeback of this 20th-century style vacation 【小题3】 (be) surprising in an age when “time has become far more 【小题4】 (value) than money”, writes Richard Ratay in his coming book, “Don’t Make Me Pull Over!: An Informal History of the Family Road Trip”. In other words, 【小题5】do you spend 18 hours driving 1, 200 miles when you could get there in two hours 【小题6】 plane?

Here is why: flying is expensive, and the more people taking the trip, the 【小题7】 (cheap) it is to pile very one of your group in a car. Flying is also unpleasant. Getting to the airport, allowing time for 【小题8】 (secure) checks and dealing with delays and baggage an easily turn a two-hour flight into a trip that takes up most of your day and all of your soul. For some travelers, it is more appealing 【小题9】 (get) up early, hit the road and spend all day driving. At least you can bring more than one bag without 【小题10】 (pay) extra. And you can stop where you want and when you want.

Hanfu, or traditional Chinese clothing, has a long history dating back 【小题1】 thousands of years. It represents the traditional cultural heritage of the Han ethnic group in China. Hanfu embodies the elegance, grace, and beauty of ancient Chinese civilization. In the last few years it 【小题2】(make) a comeback. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the number of people using hanfu products in China will reach 6.89 million, with total sales 【小题3】 (expect) to reach 10.16 billion yuan.

【小题4】(satisfy) the diverse tastes of today’s youth, sellers are putting fancy decorations on this ancient costume. Certain hanfu has a 【小题5】(color) reflective effect, as shiny decorative powders are stamped into the cloth. Although the young fans of hanfu generally agree 【小题6】 is no need to strictly follow the ancient rules, their opinions differ significantly. Some said they can match hanfu from different dynasties together, or with modern clothing, according to their own 【小题7】(prefer).

But others said clothing with fancy and modern decorations can’t 【小题8】(see) as hanfu at all. Meanwhile, fans disagree on 【小题9】 often one should wear the clothing, every day or on special occasions like festivals and weddings. But one thing is for sure, young people have become 【小题10】(increasing) interested in activities to promote and display the traditional Chinese culture.

During   the     past   ten   years,   traditional     Chinese     medicine   (TCM)     has     been     gaining 【小题1】 (popular) across the world. This style of health care has spread to 183 countries. Up to now, approximately 100 international agreements 【小题2】 (sign) with Chinese government on TCM cooperation. One of the reasons for such a growing trend is probably due to the increase of 【小题3】 (science) research into TCM. Since Tu Youyou, a Chinese scientist was awarded Nobel   Prize   for   her   discovery   of   the   drug   qinghaosu   ,   TCM   has   become   even   more【小题4】(globe) famous. While quite a few 【小题5】 (explain) have been given to support TCM theories, it is still faced with the challenge in 【小题6】 (prove) to the public that it has certain effects when used in medical treatment. That’s to say, it is significant in 【小题7】 long run for TCM to team up with Western medicine. Scientists hold the belief 【小题8】 using the collective knowledge, rather than regarding the two approaches 【小题9】 being in competition is where the potential for its enormous effects 【小题10】 _(lie) in.
