At 11, she joined the local Kunqu Opera troupe (表演团). At the age of 15, to go after her Kunqu Opera dream, Pei went to study at Shanghai Theatre Academy. At that time, she was a fan of Wang Zhiquan, the "Queen of Wudan" in Kunqu Opera. So she chose to learn to be a Wudan actor at college. However, during her third year of college, Pei faced a health problem—her waist (腰) was seriously hurt. Because of it, she wasn't able to perform on stage (在舞台上表演) as an actor anymore. That was a big blow for Pei. But Pei didn't forget her Kunqu Opera dream. In June 2021, she became interested in video broadcasting and started to broadcast on the Internet. The live broadcast room has been her new stage since then. There she can sing without doing physical movements (肢体动作). Surprisingly, in the first month of broadcasting, the popularity of her live broadcast room increased quickly, and she got fans of all ages.

Every day after the classes were over, we would directly go back home and have something for dinner and start doing our homework. This study would go on until we became sleepy.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and people can easily find them. Those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bikesharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily. In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharingbikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. Before riding these bikes, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it? At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Hundreds of bikes are found destroyed every month. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen. Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bikesharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use. 1．_______ makes it possible for people to know where there is a sharingbike nearby.

It is a bit late to start learning a language. Of course the age is not a problem if you really want to learn something, and I support (支持) lifetime learning. However, it is also a fact that kids learn languages much faster than adults (成年人). Anyway, I studied English first and then studied Translation (翻译) in the US. I had to first finish the sixmonth long English study and score 550 on the TOEFL (托福) in order to go to the US. It was challenging to score 550 on the TOEFL in six months for an English learner from the start. However, the sixmonthlong study was very successful. In order to do well, I moved to a different city and I rented (租) a house with a friend who was also studying English. We did not have any distractions (干扰因素) such as televisions or computers or smart phones, and anyway there was no smart phones in 1995 and we were lucky to get fewer distractions. We had classes every weekday from 8:30 to 16:30 with a lunch break only. Every day after the classes were over, we would directly go back home and have something for dinner and start doing our homework. This study would go on until we became sleepy. I remember this went on and on for six months, the only distraction was the weekend movie break. Finally, both my friend and I were very excited about getting a TOEFL score of 550 and went to the US.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and people can easily find them. Those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bikesharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily. In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharingbikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. Before riding these bikes, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it? At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Hundreds of bikes are found destroyed every month. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen. Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bikesharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use. 1．_______ makes it possible for people to know where there is a sharingbike nearby.
