Recently, a very simple question became widely spread online: What should China be proud of? 61
Lanlan, whose real name is Negar Kordi, is from Canada. She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University. Now she has 120,000 fans on the Internet and the number is still growing.
Lanlan loves China and Chinese. 62
And thats why she is so well received among Chinese net friends. The following is China in her eyes.
“It is the easiest country in which to find a job. If you are not too lazy, it is really very simple to find a job in China. I believe therere more job chances here than in any other country in the world.”
“ 63 About 400 million Chinese are studying English. If they can speak good English in the future, China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non-English speaking country.”
“The speed of Chinese trains is fast. From Ningbo to Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595 yuan.”
“Its public security is great. 64 I have travelled in many countries, and I think China really is very safe.”
“There are much more things China should be proud of. Many Chinese people often criticize(批評) China. At first, I believed that they didnt like China or that they loved Western countries. But later, I realized that they just set a very high standard for China. 65 China must be much better than other countries.”
根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容,從下面五個選項(xiàng)中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項(xiàng),使短文意思通順、內(nèi)容完整。

[choose,life, with, what, different, work, say, be, because, change, find, difficult\&]
Life is difficult for most of people now. But it probably used 66 even more difficult. Problems now are more different than it was before. Poor people have now worse 67 than those 500 years ago.
Living now is probably easier, 68 we can do much more things people couldnt do in the past. Travelling to other continents was impossible for common people. Now we can fly around the world 69 aeroplanes and we are able to go to any place on earth, and go there in a day. But in the past it wasnt possible and people even didnt know that some continents are existing (存在). The biggest 70 was made in spreading (傳播) information. We can find almost any information we want in a few minutes, if we have connection to Internet and we know where 71 that information.
But life is difficult because we never have enough time to do 72 we want. In the past people didnt have to live so fast. But now we want to produce more and get more money, so we spend more time 73 .
Life today is much 74 than it was in the past. It is hard 75 which life is easier and better, this now or that in the past. I think we should take more free time in our lives, make our life easier and try to enjoy it as much as possible.
