On-line voting becomes increasing popular, and many competitions get people involve in it. It is beneficial to some people, so it puts others into a dilemma over whether vote or not.
In my opinion, on-line voting is a inseparable part of modern life and should be welcomed，since it is a way to participate in public life. There is no difference between on-line voting and ordinary voting events, in what candidates go around to seek support. In addition, the Internet makes surveying and voting easier and more convenient, regardless of time and space. Furthermore, voting on the Internet make instant feedback possible.
To be honest, voters sometimes feel annoyed, not because of they hate voting, but because we are divided between emotion and fairness. Things will turn for the better if we can work out some participations rules for people to obey. Therefore, I hold attitude towards on-line voting.

Dating back to the Qing Dynasty, traditional yum cha (饮茶) refers not only to drinking tea but also 1. tasting dim sum (点心), an abbreviated form of the phrase dian dian xin yi.

There are many interesting customs about yum cha. One is that 3. a teapot refill is needed, the lid 4. (leave) half-open, stemming from a folk tale set in ancient southern China.

As a result, teahouses started to ask diners to lift their own teapot lids as a signal for 6. (much) hot water. 7. is that when tea is served, it is customary to tap the table with two fingers of the same hind, as a way to say thank you to the person 8. (pour) the brew.

When he and his bodyguards stopped for lunch at a local teahouse, the emperor poured tea for his companions. In order not to draw any attention, his followers tapped the table instead of kowtowing (叩头) 10. (express ) their gratitude.

The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. 1.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe, 2.. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning: in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
3. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. 4. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the rain of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill together. “5. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
A.We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons.
B.Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture.
C.Fortunately, science has brought us with the greatest
D.It offers us less access to nature as well as social life.
E.The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said.
F.Many things caused the changes, but in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
G.It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development.
