Being a veterinarian(兽医), I had to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their boy Shane, loved Belker very much.

    I examined Belker and found him {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(die) of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia(安乐死) procedure in their home.

    As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought {#blank#}3{#/blank#}would be good for six-year-old Shane to watch. They felt Shane might learn something.

    The next day, Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting(拍) the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was happening. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(peaceful) away.

    The little boy seemed to accept it without any difficulty. We sat together after Belker's death,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (wonder) why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, having listened quietly, said, “I know {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.”

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(surprise), we all turned to him. What he said next amazed me. It has changed my life.

    He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live {#blank#}9{#/blank#}good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”

    The six-year-old boy continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} they don't have to stay as long.”

    The computer began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. It could make difficult sums much {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (simple). In 1936 Alan Turing wrote a book about how the computer could be made to work as a "universal machine"   {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (solve) any difficult mathematical problem.

    At{#blank#}3{#/blank#} beginning, the computer was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}large as a room. This really worried the designers. As time   {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (go) by, it became smaller and smaller. With artificial {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (intelligent), it is getting cleverer and cleverer, quicker and quicker.

    In the early 1960s, computers could{#blank#}7{#/blank#}connect) by a network,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} enabled their users to share information {#blank#}9{#/blank#} others. Since the 1970s, computers have had many new{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(application) and become very important in communication, finance, trade and even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars.

    Experts have started working on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} unbelievable project to make a robot made by NASA act like a human.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(name) Valkyrie, the robot looks like a woman and may be used to explorer Mars one day. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (invent) by NASA scientists to compete in the DARPA Robotics Challenges(DRC). It is 1.9 meters tall and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (weight) 125 kilograms. It comes with a series {#blank#}5{#/blank#} cameras, sonar, and other sensors spread across its body to help it move around.

    Valkyrie is powered by a battery on its back, which can keep it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (operate) for an hour. It can walk on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (it) own, pick up objects and control many objects and tools, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}is part of the requirements for the DARPA challenge.

    The machine can walk on two legs and perform basic{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (move) at present. However, the team from Scotland's Edinburgh University wants to give it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (many) skills. It is hoped that the new and improved robot will work along with astronauts in space.

    There are many festivals in Guizhou Province. One of them is Dong New year, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} falls in the eleventh lunar month after the harvest. In some villages, the festival {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) place in the tenth month. Dong New Year is as {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(importance) as the Spring Festival. In the days {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lead) up to the new year, the Dong people make new clothes, clean their houses, and make rice cakes. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the eve of the New Year, the prepare “cold dish” with bean curd and homemade vinegar. It {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) as an offering to one's ancestors. Dong New Year is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (usual) celebrated in many Dong villages in the area of Rongjiang in Guizhou Province. The exact date varies but falls during the period late October to early November. Public {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(celebration) include the Lusheng Festival and water buffalo fighting.

    Another one, Miao Sisters Festival, is celebrated from the 15^th to the 17^th day of the third lunar month calendar, when {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(marry) women make a return to the homes of their mothers. At home, they prepare and eat {#blank#}10{#/blank#} special kind of food, black rice cake. When they return to their own homes, they bring with them some of it and give it to their husbands as gifts.

    The Wandering Earth is a Chinese science fiction movie, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is based on the novel of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} same name by Liu Cixin, and was released on February 5, 2019, the Chinese New Year's Day.

    After learning the sun is dying out ,people all around the world feel {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (panic), so they build giant planet thrusters(星球推进器) to move the earth out of its orbit and sail {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to a new star system. The 2500 years' journey comes with unexpected dangers, but in order to save humanity, a group of young people come out bravely and fight hard for everyone's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (survive).

    We {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(impress) to see the theme of this film. It does not particularly show somebody's ability to save our world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} shows all the human beings are working together,  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (spare) no effort to save this world.

    The Wandering Earth is seen by people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the dawn(开端) of Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China's sci-fi movies have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (official) set sail.
