Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept—the ant philosophy, an{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (amaze) four-part philosophy.

    First, ants never quit. If they're heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll climb over. they'll climb under, or they'll climb around. They never give up{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (look) for a way to get where they{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (suppose) to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. (prepare) for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in summer; think about rocks{#blank#}5{#/blank#} you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, they remind{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they), "This won't last long and we'll soon be out of here. " On {#blank#}7{#/blank#}．first warm day, the ants are out. If it{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (possible) can. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}we all know, cultural relics belong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the people all over the world. Nowadays, more and more people are interested in the topic about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}to protect cultural relics such as places of interest, old city {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wall), folk arts and so on. Some even advise {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(devote) to new culture exhibitions in order to educate the public. As {#blank#}6{#/blank#}matter of fact, the Chinese government has been {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(concern) about the topic and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) measures.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I've learned that an art exhibition is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hold) and that you're collecting suggestions on its location. I'm writing this letter to share{#blank#}2{#/blank#} you my opinions.

    In my opinion,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} is more advisable to hold the art exhibition in Shanghai Museum than in community libraries. My reasons are as follows.

    On one hand, it is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(convenient) for people to get to Shanghai Museum{#blank#}5{#/blank#}is located in the center of the city. Besides, the museum is much larger than commuity libraries, which {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(provide)visitors with more comfortable environment for{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(appreciate) art.

    On the other hand, as a well-known museum, Shanghai Museum is more professional and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience)in holding art exhibitions. Its professional security guards and advanced facilities can better protect those famous {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(paint)from being damaged {#blank#}10{#/blank#}stolen.

    Therefore, I suggest the exhibition should be held in Shanghai Museum.

    Famous British physicist Stephen Hawking，{#blank#}1{#/blank#} mental genius and physical disability made him a household name and inspiration across the globe, has died at age 76.

    Propelled(推动) to superstar by his 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which became {#blank#}2{#/blank#}unlikely worldwide bestseller, Hawking devoted{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) to unlocking the secrets of the Universe. His genius and wit{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(win) over fans from far beyond the world of astrophysics, earning comparisons with Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton.

    Hawking died {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(peaceful) at his home in the British university city of Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

    “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” professor Hawking's children said in a statement{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (carry) by Britain's Press Association news agency. “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live{#blank#}7{#/blank#} for many years.”

    Hawking refused to accept the predictions that he would only live for a few years after developing a form of motor neurone disease in his early {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(twenty). The illness gradually robbed him of mobility{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(leave) him confined to a wheelchair, almost completely paralysed and unable to speak except through his voice synthesiser(合成器).

    “His courage and persistence with his brilliance and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (humorous) inspired people across the world,” his family said.

    Some day, our world may {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fill) with driverless cars. But.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}will we communicate with them if there's nobody in the driver's seat?

    At present, drivers can make gestures like{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (nod) when they let us cross the street.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} self-driving cars don't have this ability.

    The US car maker Ford and its partner Virginia Tech {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (try) to solve this problem. The team is testing a method {#blank#}6{#/blank#}uses light signals. For example, a slow-blinking tight shows the car is coming to  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}stop, and a rapidly flashing light   tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (test) the method on real roads, the team has designed a special suit that looks like a car scat. When a driver wears it, it appears as if the car were driverless.

    The team has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (successful) collected more than 1,500 hours of data, which has recorded how people interacted with a “driverless” car. Ford says it plans to share the data {#blank#}10{#/blank#} 11 other car makers, which should lead to a signaling system that will be used in every driverless car.
