Although most people believe that formal schooling is required for scientific success, a college degree is not always necessary.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}excellent example of a man who won fame as a scientist {#blank#}2{#/blank#}academic(学术的) training is Vincent J. Schaefer. His formal education ended {#blank#}3{#/blank#} two years of high school when he had to go to work in an untrained job at General Electric. Because {#blank#}4{#/blank#} his inventive mind and his skill as a model maker, he was soon allowed to try his own experiments in the company laboratory. His natural {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (curious) made him wonder about clouds. He developed, after many tries, a method of making clouds rain {#blank#}6{#/blank#}they would not normally do so. This method, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (call) seeding, has been very  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (help) to farmers, and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}made him win much fame.

    There was once a small boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}would he wear what they wanted him to. He preferred unusual clothes, but above all, he liked taking his time. His parents were always in a rush, and wanted him to be much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (quick), but the boy didn't like this, and he would slow down even more.

    One day, his parents got so angry when he refused to dress that they told him to go out without any clothes at all.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (surprise), the boy followed his parents out of the door. He held a belief {#blank#}4{#/blank#}nobody could do anything to him.

    As the boy stood outside his house with nothing on,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wait) for his parents's car, along came the local pig farmer. The farmer,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}was almost deaf, had very poor eyesight. Not only that, but also he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(forget) his glasses that day. When he saw the boy's pink skin, he thought it was one of his pigs. Shouting and pushing, the farmer forced {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(he) into a pig cage. The boy begged him to stop but the deaf farmer couldn't hear.

    When found by his parents, the terrified boy never again wanted to be mistaken{#blank#}9{#/blank#} anything other than a human being. Now he's the first {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get) dressed, and always looks neat.

    Moving silently through Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's "FlyZoo" hotel, black disc-shaped robots about a metre in height deliver food and drop off fresh towels.

    The robots are part of a set of high-tech tools that Alibaba {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) extremely cuts the hotel's cost of human labour and removes the need for guests to interact {#blank#}2{#/blank#} other people.

    Inside the hotel, softly-lit white panelled walls bring to mind {#blank#}3{#/blank#} insides of Hollywood spaceships. Guests check in at reception desks that scan {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) faces, as well as passports or other ID. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (visit) with a Chinese national ID can scan their faces using their smartphones to check in ahead of time.

    At the hotel's restaurant, taller capsule-shaped robots deliver food that guests {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (order) via the FlyZoo app while at a separate bar, a large robotic arm can mix more than 20 different types of cocktails. Facial recognition cameras add charges to the room rate {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (automatic).

    The hotel does employ humans, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Alibaba refused to tell how many. This includes chefs and cleaners as well as reception staff, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} will assist with conventional check-in procedures for guests unwilling to have their faces {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (scan) and want to use electronic key cards.
