    A rainforest is an area {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (cover) by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (warm) the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

    In the past hundred years, humans {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (begin) destroying rainforests in search of three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (animal). This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (obvious) have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees{#blank#}7{#/blank#} we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

    Rainforests are often called the world's drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (medicine) value. It is extremely likely {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our best chance to cure diseases{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (lie) somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.

    When I was young, I was not popular {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my classmates. If you'd asked me, I would have told you I was against bullying(霸凌).

    But one day, I was in the classroom, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(chat) with my friend Lizzie, when Kristina walked up to me. She was one of the bullies so I prepared {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(me) for more insults(羞辱). I looked at her, feeling {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(terrify). But she said that she was sorry for what she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(do) to me.

    I accepted her apology. Later, we became friends, laughing at people, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} even pushing them. People were noticing me in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} way they never had before.

    Then one day, Lizzie came up to me and shouted, "you've become a bully!" That night I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wake) thinking for a long time. The next day at school, I apologized to Lizzie and told her I would never hurt her  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(feel) like that again.

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#} took a while to earn back her trust, but eventually we got back to normal.

    Cultural TV programs have experienced {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  come-back at the start of the Chinese New Year. A new program, Readers, has become a hit.

The participants also {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(active) share stories from their own life explaining reasons {#blank#}9{#/blank#}particular pieces touched their hearts or shaped their lives. In the show, poems can{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(adapt)into songs. Since its broadcast, it has been considered as "a breath of fresh air” among various shows in China.

Invented {#blank#}1{#/blank#} early twentieth-century America by Richard Drew, Scotch tape can be used to fix almost anything. However, there is more to this fix-it-all than just that. Sticky yet easily removed, Scotch tape was designed for use in painting cars—to mask off areas that should not {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (paint). The tape soon found other uses. During the 1930s, people didn't have much money, so they couldn't throw away damaged things; they had to repair them. Drew's painting tape became a popular, money-saving fix for everything from torn clothing to broken eggs. Since then, people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (find) all sorts of creative ways to use the sticky tape.
