The last full moon of 2017 is going to appear a little bigger and brighter than most.

    Dec. 3 will bring a supermoon,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (mean) a full moon that happens at perigee—the same time that the moon is closest to the earth.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}this particular occasion, the moon will appear 7 percent larger and 16 percent brighter than usual. Not only will this be the only full supermoon of 2017,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it's also going to kick off a series of three full supermoons in a row. The full moons on Jan. 2 and Jan. 31 will be super {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(one) and even they'll be blue super moons,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}means the second full moon in a single month.

    While some moonwatchers might be getting excited, some people think the hype（炒作）around supermoons isn't all it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (regard) as being. A scientist slammed（抨击）the term last year as something made up {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (complete) and a waste of everyone's time. He acknowledged that supermoons would appear bigger and brighter, but that actually an amateur {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (observe) wouldn't notice the difference. Another scientist {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) a similar {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (argue) back in 2012.

    If the supermoon makes you want to go out and appreciate the sky's beauty, we say “Go for it.”

In order to offer him more convenience, his mother bought him a robot{#blank#}3{#/blank#} name is Jimmy yesterday. Jimmy accompanies Tom every day after his parents leave for work,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（take）care of him. Tom suffers from a rare disease. He can't stand up.  Instead, he has to sit on an armchair all the day. Jimmy shows sympathy to Tom and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(try) his best to make him happy. Some days ago, he took Tom to the park. He tried to protect him from {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(harm). He gave Tom encouragement to have a try to walk. So Tom {#blank#}7{#/blank#} But to Jimmy's disappointment, Tom fell on the ground, causing some other boys nearby to make fun {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him. “Don't laugh at the disabled!” Jimmy turned around, warning those boys. They felt sorry and ran away immediately. The next day, Jimmy took Tom to the park once again. This time, Tom was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (adapt) to the circumstance and didn't feel clumsy any longer.

    We all know that the Friday after Thanksgiving means a mad dash to the shopping centre for ridiculous sales. But how did this bargain shopping get {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) start?

    In fact, the first Black Friday had nothing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) with Thanksgiving or shopping. The origin of Black Friday as we know it today started in Philadelphia during the 1950s and 1960s. Crowds of people would come to town the day after Thanksgiving for the annual Army­Navy football game to be held the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (follow) Saturday. Streets and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (store) were always crowded, which was great for business but made easy­pickings for shoplifters (行窃者). Local police called this “Black Friday”. Not only did they have to deal with extra traffic {#blank#}5{#/blank#} shoplifting, but they had to work extra hours and couldn't request the day off.

    The term didn't go national {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the late 1980s, but the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) changed. While shopkeepers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (general) suffered financial losses most of the year, the increase of holiday shoppers marked the first day of real profit. In traditional accounting (会计) practices a few years ago, losses {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (record) in red ink, and profits in black ink. So the day after Thanksgiving, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} companies go “into the black” and make a profit, became Black Friday.

    Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (break) out.

    Every year, over 11, 000 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kill) or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (care) cause about 200 deaths and over 6, 000 fires. More than of those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 911 for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) into a room, check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (slow). If there is a rush of smoke heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (other) inside.

    Now open the window and shout "Fire!". See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (long) before dropping. Once outside, stay out outside and make sure the fire department is called.
