World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31, 2010. If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, China Pavilion(馆)is a must - see area for you.
China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown, is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor's crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion is made up of a national hall and a regional(宗教的 ) hall. Buildings on the China Pavilion began on Dec. 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion has both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo; "Better City, Better Life. For example, it is red in appearance, which covers the traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy - saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to hold so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent(长久的) landmark.
During the Expo, the main structure(结构 ) will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of “ Chinese wisdom in urban （城市）development” by explaining the values of harmony（和谐 ）, nature and spirit. The three - story pavilion has three sections. The top floor's “Footprint of the East” will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, “Journey of Wisdom” will explain China's four great inventions. And the ground's “ Blossoming” City will display scenes from cities of the future.

My wife and I bought a secondhand car for our tour. During our two months on the road, Lucy and I had a really 36 experience with a good, honest garage and some helpful 37 .
We were driving west on Highway 101 when our "check engine" light came on. We limped of (拐入) a (n ) 38 into Las Cruces. We had a real car 39 . Lucy pulled the car into a local garage. By this time the car was 40 so badly that it was shaking all over. This was the 41 _ time to arrive at a garage--late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Olivia was busy 42 paper work and customers as we explained our problems. 43 there were already “ten cars behind”, he told us to 44 the car into the garage.
Evelyn, who we later 45 was one of the top motor technicians, took 46 of our car repairing. He and Olivia and some other repairmen stayed several hours after closing, 47_ the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was 48 closed on Saturdays) , Evelyn finally located the problem and fixed it easily within only 49 .
Later Olivia pointed out to us that it was our 50 that helped. " You didn't come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an 51 of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer's attitude 52 a lot. He was right in some way, customers should show politeness and understanding to people who 53 them. Even if people were extremely busy, they found way to 54 try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that 55 for other people can always help.
