Before the day I stepped into junior high school, I had always thought that as long as I could read, speak, and listen well, English will be a "no problem" 1 for me, and that English grammar was a piece of cake. My father 2 to tell me the importance of grammar but I just wouldn't listen. I didn't understand what's so important about the whole "grammar" thing.

I really learned a lot from it! Now, I'm still on my journey of learning grammar, and I am enjoying it.

I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
"Excuse me," suddenly a soft voice came into my ear.
I looked up and 1 a nice-looking woman standing before me.
"Is your name Roger?" 2 asked.

In many space films, whenever the Earth faces danger, humans always leave the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese science fiction movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a 1 idea.
The film is based on a short story by a Chinese science fiction writer, Liu Ci xin. In this film, the Earth is in 2 of being damaged by the dying sun. In response, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system (发动机系统) that will push the Earth 3 the Sun. Instead of giving up the Earth, this time we will 4 it with us.
For thousands of years, “homeland” has played an important role in the h earts and minds of Chinese people.

The special cultural background of Chinese is probably what sets The Wandering Earth different
from Hollywood-style space films.
"What is Chinese science fiction?" Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview. "There is no more about superheroes to save humans alone. In Chinese culture, we 7 try our best to bring everyone together. This is what we saw in the movie. So the way that can really express our culture and spirit can be called a 8 science fiction. Otherwise, we just copy others and tell the same American stories."
And the makers of The Wandering Earth chose the best time to tell its Chinese science fiction story. The film was shown on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the 9 journey back to their hometowns no matter how busy the traffic they had to face. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: The 10 goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.

5. A. leaving for B. setting off C. returning to D. getting to
6. A. parents B. space C. children D. homeland
