The adobe dwellings(土坯房）{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(build) by the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest are admired by even {#blank#}2{#/blank#}most modern of architects and engineers. In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(able) to “air condition” a house without {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（use）exact equipment. Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that her{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（slow）during cool nights，thus warning the house. When a new day breaks, the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cool) the house during the hot day: {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the same time, they warm up again for the night This cycle {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (go) day after day: The walls warm up During the day and cool off during the night and thus always a timely offset（抵消）for the outside temperatures. As {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly{#blank#}10{#/blank#}thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.

    Have you ever imagined {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in 2116, 100 years from now? A recent study describes robots, underwater cities and holidays in space. City planners and experts on space and architecture were asked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) their ideas on life in 2116. According to them, the way people live, work and play will be totally different{#blank#}3{#/blank#} how we do these things today. They also said that 25 years ago, people couldn't imagine how the Internet {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the smart phones would change our lives. But today, both have changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things, and the changes in the next century will probably be even {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (great).

    Those{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (question) in the research said that people may not go to offices in the future but will work at home instead. People will have advanced 3D printers that will let {#blank#}7{#/blank#} download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then “print” the sofa, table or pizza at home. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} will also be less need for visits to the doctor. People will have a home health capsule that will “diagnose” what the problem is and provide {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (treat). They will also be going into space for holidays, and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hopeful), to get resources that have been used up on the earth.

    Can you imagine the world full of crying and shouting, covered in darkness? However, it's not just a joke. It's a real {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (describe) of a world without happiness and laughter.

    If you compare our life to a pie, what would you put in if you were in charge of making the pie?{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (obvious), many people would add as much happiness as possible. Do you know why? It's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} happiness stands for sweetness in most people's minds.

    Don't think of it just as a comparison. Happiness is a flower {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (live) in the sunshine, and it is not difficult to reach for it. We have a variety of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (emotion) like sadness, anger, fear, enthusiasm and happiness, and they all appear naturally when something {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(affect) our feelings. So, if we can change our attitude {#blank#}7{#/blank#}things in the world, we can certainly adjust our emotions. It means that we can choose to be happy if we want to, as long as we view everything in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} positive way.

    If we can be happy, why not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(choice) to be? Let's try together to create a world {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fill) with smiling faces and sunshine.

    A university in southeast China has a new server in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) canteen making noodles for the students. The video{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(show) a robotic chef working in the kitchen and making noodles {#blank#}3{#/blank#}dough (面团) at South China Agricultural University.

    It was given human-like facial features (特征) and can be seen{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（wear) a face mask, hat and chef's uniform. The robot was designed{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(improve) the traditional way of making “Dao Xiao Mian", {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is a specialty in Shanxi Province in northern China.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}traditional), a chef will hold a large piece of dough in one hand and a knife in the other before starting to peel strips(条) off the dough. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}dough will then fall into the pot of boiling water and cook into noodles. A student said: “I've heard that there are always long {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(queue) at the knife-cut noodle stall at the canteen."

    However, web users on Chinese social media said the robot chef{#blank#}10{#/blank#} （be） not something new. The use of robots in restaurants is becoming increasingly popular in China over the past few years.

    World Read Aloud Day is celebrated each year on the first Wednesday of March. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (start) by the LitWorld.org website in 2010 and has now reached 65 countries. The aim is to encourage people worldwide who cannot read to enjoy the benefits of a book. The website asks everyone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (celebrate) the day by taking a book, finding an audience, and reading out aloud. It is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and write {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(belong) to all people.

    The website asks {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(visit) to join in the movement to reduce {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  number of illiterate（不识字的）people in the world. It is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (absolute) necessary to help those who cannot read. The website says, “It's time to start by reading aloud to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} might like it. Share a book with a child who might need it, share a story with someone who would treasure it, listen patiently {#blank#}8{#/blank#} someone else's story as they share with you.” The United Nations says, “Literacy involves a variety of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to participate fully in society.” In that way, World Read Aloud Day does help make a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(different).

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(see) from outer space, Earth is a blue planet, due to the fact that the ocean covers over 70 percent of its surface. According to a new study published in the journal Science, the ocean plays a great role in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(slow)down global warming. It is" {#blank#}3{#/blank#}important buffer(缓冲物)", {#blank#}4{#/blank#}The New York Times put it.

    The oceans can absorb 93 percent of the heat trapped by the greenhouse gases {#blank#}5{#/blank#}humans release into the atmosphere. And the other 7 percent {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(absorb)by the air, land and ice caps, according to the Guardian.

    "If the ocean wasn't absorbing as much heat, the surface of the land would heat up much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fast) than it is right now," said professor Malin L. Pinsky at Rutgers University in the US. "In fact, the ocean is saving us from rapid warming right now."

    However, the ocean itself, as Discover Magazine noted, is heating up 40 percent faster on average than the United Nations {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(believe) five years ago. That means if the ocean temperatures increase {#blank#}9{#/blank#} this speed, the high water temperatures "will kill off marine ecosystems, raise sea {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (level) and make hurricanes more destructive (破坏性的)", the Guardian reported.
