As a child, I never dreamed of becoming famous on TV. My family didn’t even have a TV. Now I am the presenter for Universe TV news programmes. If I have achieved some success, then the key is 【小题1】 (curious), hard work and a strong belief. It was my mother 【小题2】 taught me to be curious and be interested in mankind and nature. My mother and I would look in old nests to find birds’ feathers and even turn over stones to look at the little creatures. All in all, my mom has influenced me greatly with her strong character and positive attitude 【小题3】 life.

After graduating from college, I 【小题4】(become) a reporter and was asked to inspect a(n) 【小题5】(legal) business. My report had helped people and also helped the government catch the guilty people. That was the special moment 【小题6】I realised the importance of being a journalist. 【小题7】(write) the report was not easy, but I didn’t give up. As you can see, my efforts paid off. So as long as I 【小题8】 (commit), I will produce high quality reports. Actually, although there isn’t much glory in a reporter’s 【小题9】 (exist), I find it interesting and challenging because I am 【小题10】(constant) challenged to learn new skills, go to different places and meet lots of people. And I am always curious, for what I have learnt from my mom has never left me.

An increasing number of young people in large Chinese cities are choosing to become so-called digital nomads (游牧民), 【小题1】 (hope) to achieve a better work-life balance by operating remotely.

Using smartphones and computers, digital nomads 【小题2】 (typical) have no fixed business address and often work in 【小题3】 (variety) cities and countries. They operate from coffee shops, public libraries and shared office spaces, with some even working from recreational vehicles.

Zhang Le, a former oil engineer, had long wanted to become a digital nomad after reading The 4-Hour Workweek 【小题4】 (write) by Tim Ferriss. The opportunity to change his career came in 2015, 【小题5】 Zhang launched a content creation company. He began publishing articles about digital nomads online.

Zhang’s daily work schedule is not strictly defined, but mainly involves reading, collecting and sharing information related 【小题6】 digital nomads. He also conducts field visits to digital nomad destinations, writes reports about his experiences, shares book notes, interacts with community members 【小题7】 answers related questions.

Thousands of people will become modern-day nomads, migrating from place to place, and living and working on the move, as their 【小题8】 (ancestor) did. So far, this vision 【小题9】 (become) a reality, with the digital nomad organization DNX Global estimating that by 2035, 1 billion people worldwide will have adopted such 【小题10】 lifestyle.

The person who set the course of my life was Miss Hurd. I was 13 years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I 【小题1】 (inform) to choose a hobby to pursue during “club hours”. The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the 【小题2】 (pretty) girl in my class. She led me into 【小题3】 presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.

A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and 【小题4】 (determine) eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience 【小题5】 lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and 【小题6】 (eventual) taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland,【小题7】 (make) me proud of my origins. Owing to her 【小题8】 (inspire), I became a reporter by profession years later.

Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she 【小题9】 (work) for a total of 41 years. Miss Hurd was the one 【小题10】 changed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn't have become a reporter.
