So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think)about all these changes made me nervous and I was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(worry)about my new life. But studying abroad was a decision that I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge. I looked forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(visit)my family in the summer vacation.

    Fake news has long been {#blank#}1{#/blank#} serious problem, and social media {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (blame) for allowing fake news stories to spread. US tech{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (company) Facebook and Google have been using {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (analyze) technology to fact-check stories and add labels {#blank#}5{#/blank#} dubious (可疑的) ones to warn their readers.

    But recently a survey {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (find) that as many as 60 percent of people in the US still think that not enough is being done{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (keep) internet users away from fake news.

    Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (probable) say that they go to learn languages, history, science and some other knowledge. That's quite true, but do you know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they learn these things?

    We send our children to school to prepare them {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the future when they grow up and have to work for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they). Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} only reason why they go to school?

    There is more in education than just {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} really knows how to learn will always be {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success), because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will also be able {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (teach) others how to do it in the best way. So the purpose of schools is not to teach languages, history, science, etc., but to teach {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (student) the way to learn.

    Dujiangyan was built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} oldest man - made water system in the world. This amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometers of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for fifty {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (city) in the province.

    In ancient times, the region in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (cause) by the overflow from the Minjiang River. Li Bing, the governor of the region, together with his son, decided to find a way to solve the problem.

    The simplest way was to build a dam, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this would ruin the Minjiang River. So Li designed a series of channels that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (free). Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (suit) for farming.

    Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and people were able to live peacefully. Today, Dujiangyan {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (admire) by scientists from around the world because of one feature. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (like) modern dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, making it possible for ecosystem and fish populations {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (exist) in harmony.
