“In the 1980s, Yangshuo became a popular place for Western visitors. Over 300,000 foreigners traveled to the county every year,” Liu said. “At the time, there were more foreign visitors on the streets than Chinese ones.”
Liu started to show interest in English when he was a child. when he was 5, he often saw foreigners in his village. They would greet him and he greeted them back. This planted the seed of his love for English.
In middle school, Liu was one of the best students at English. However, after finishing middle school, he had to drop out of school because his family had five children. He then became a cowboy, taking his family’s cows to eat grass on the mountain every day while he was studying English in a nearby cave.
He also asked English speakers for help in Yangshuo. He would show travelers the dictionary and ask, “Can you help me with this word?” In this way, he learned to speak English fast and helping foreign visitors became his job.

解析
一、（一）
1. 句中给出范围"in the world"，且空前有定冠词the，需要使用形容词good的最高级形式，表示“最好的”。
2. 形容词friendly后需要接名词作介词with的宾语，动词greet的名词形式是greeting，意为“问候”。
3. 固定结构It's + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth. 表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”，此处泛指群体意义上的孩子，要用child的复数形式children。
（二）
1. 方框中each可以和year搭配，each year和every year含义完全一致，意为“每年”。
2. 黑体词work此处表示“职业类的工作”，和方框中的job含义匹配。
（三）
1. 英语中表示“在……世纪……年代”的固定表达为"in the + 整十年份复数"，“20世纪90年代”对应in the 1990s。
2. “表现出对……的兴趣”的常用基础英文表达为show (an) interest in，本句主语是复数的most of the students，谓语动词用原形即可。
（四）
按照题目要求使用after+动词-ing形式作时间状语，将“拥有一个好睡眠”转化为having a good sleep放在after之后，整合剩余语义即可得到符合要求的句子。
