Long ago, there lived in Greece a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) man. He was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}well-known for his knowledge of almosteverything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn fromhim. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered theirquestions with great {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(patient).

           One day, a student asked him, “My dearteacher, didn't you say you yourself have many more questions about things thanwe do?{#blank#}4{#/blank#} I think we students have far more than you.”

           With a smile on his face, the teacher {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(draw) two circles, one as large as abig cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned muchmore. But {#blank#}6{#/blank#}is wrong to think ateacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles.The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of thesmaller one is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(you). Out ofthe circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(use) the longer line to draw thebigger circle. That {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mean) Ihave more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that's why I myselfhave more questions than you do. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(much) you learn, the more questionsyou have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

    Examinations are of great{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(important) in Chinese schools and universities,so millions of the students take part in them every year.Almost all the students{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(teach) from an early age to understand the nature of examinations.It is true that some students can pass an examination{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) than others,although it doesn't mean they are better with their study.

    Quite a few students are afraid of examinations though they master{#blank#}4{#/blank#}they have learned very well.Sometimes the fear of examinations comes from pressure.

    People think pressure is good for students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}it can make the students{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(try) harder and make some school work more challenging.But too much pressure may even cause diseases{#blank#}7{#/blank#}will influence students' academic performance badly.

    No student succeeds{#blank#}8{#/blank#}hard work.If one spends  little{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(work) on their lessons every day,they can't expect{#blank#}10{#/blank#}good result at the end of the term.Developing study skills can get students to learn better and to pass examinations with ease if they understand the lessons and the work involved.

    Last weekend we celebrated Jacob turning nine{#blank#}1{#/blank#}his friends with an art party. Instead of hosting it at our house, we{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（decide ）to try something new to celebrate it. It cost US $50,00 to rent a small restaurant. I worked with a store manager. And I bought{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(balloon) and a few other things from him.

    On the day of the party, the tables in the restaurant{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(cover) and waiters and waitresses were ready to get to work when we arrived. We started with helping the children paint their own canvases(油画){#blank#}5{#/blank#}then create their own T-shirts. I should have advised parents {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(take)some old clothes,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (unlucky)we did not. When one child got paint all over{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(him), I felt bad about that.

    Overall, Jacob had{#blank#}9{#/blank#}wonderful time. We were able to do the art parity for minimal cost. The smile on his face at the end of the day was all{#blank#}10{#/blank#}mattered to me.

    “Click!” That's the sound of safety. That's the sound of survival. That's the sound of a seat belt locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that's a fact. That's why I don't drive anywhere until {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(I) is on tight. Choosing {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wear) your seat belt is like choosing between life and death. Imagine you are driving at 100 kilometers per hour or{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fast) when somebody ahead of you puts on his or her brakes suddenly. What may happen to you?

    Someone think that seat belts are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(comfortable). Let's just take {#blank#}5{#/blank#} close look at your choice. You are not wearing your seat belt{#blank#}6{#/blank#} you can slide in and out of your seat easily. That sounds {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a lot of fun. But you are also more likely to die or suffer serious{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(injury).

    Wearing a seat belt does not make you completely safe. You can get killed or{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(hurt) while wearing your seat belt. But wearing them{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(prove) to be safer than without them. So why not take the safer way?

    Two new satellites of BeiDou Navigation(导航) Satellite System (BDS) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (send) into space on a Long March-3D carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, China at 2:07 a.m. on November 19, 2018. The satellites entered a Medium Earth orbit{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (safe) more than three hours later and will work with 17 other BDS-3 satellites already in space. They are also the 42^nd and 43^rd{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (member) of the BDS satellite family.

    China launched these satellites with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} aim of providing navigation services for countries and regions which participate in the Belt and Road Proposal by the end of 2018. “This is a key step for BDS developing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a Chinese experimental system to a regional and then a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (globe) navigation system,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. The positioning {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (accurate) of the BDS-3 system has been improved to 2.5 meters to 5 meters, said Yang.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (name) after the Chinese term for the Plough, the BeiDou system has been serving China for 18 years {#blank#}9{#/blank#} another six BDS-3 satellites will be put into the Medium Earth orbit from 2019 to 2020. The system is expected {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (provide) first-class services around the globe by the end of 2020.
