By the time Jill got to a little town, every hotel room {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（take）. “You've got to give me a room somewhere,” he said to the manager at the hotel, “{#blank#}2{#/blank#}just a bed — I don't care where.”

    “Well, I do have a double room with one guest,”{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (admit) the manager, “and he might be glad to split（分担）the cost. But to tell you {#blank#}4{#/blank#}truth, he snores {#blank#}5{#/blank#}loudly that people in the next room have complained {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(late). I'm not sure if it would be worth it to you.”

    “No problem.” Jill assured him, “I'll take {#blank#}7{#/blank#}”

The next morning Jill came down to breakfast bright-eyed.

    “How did you sleep” asked the manager.

    “Never better.”

    The manager was impressed. “No problem with the other guy snoring, then?”

    “No, I shut him up{#blank#}8{#/blank#}no time,” said Jill.

    “How did you manage that?” asked the manager. “Did you give him some medicine to stop the snoring?”

    “No, I didn't. But here is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}I did. He was already in bed when I went into the room,” Jill explained. “I went over, gave him a kiss on the forehead, and said, ‘Good night, beautiful,' and he sat up all night {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch) me.”

    As we all know,Hangzhou, a beautiful city, won the bid{#blank#}1{#/blank#}September 16th 2015. Thus, it will be the third Chinese city{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(host) the games.

    Hangzhou is a beautiful city with a long history. Hosting the Asian Games will give it a new look.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the event will cost the government a lot, the benefits are easy for us to see. To the citizens in Hangzhou, the best part of it is that it will give us the chance to watch world-class matches and{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(compete) close to home. Secondly, there is no doubt{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the event will attract more visitors to enjoy{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(visit) this wonderful city. At the same time, it is good for the development of the tourism. Meanwhile, as the construction goes on, more roads{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(build) and the Metro system will be expanded,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}can reduce traffic jams.

    In the next few years, Hangzhou will try its best to prepare{#blank#}9{#/blank#}for the big show.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}splendid Hangzhou is waiting to see you in 2022.

    People are having a debate about whether {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (develop) the economy or protect the environment. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Lin Shuiqing's opinion, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is our duty to cut back on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (produce) and reduce the quantities of things we make and buy while Qian Liwei thinks that businessmen are not greedy and they don't hide from their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(responsible), either. As far as he is concerned, the people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (operate) these factories are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (deep) concerned about the environment, and should {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (give) more credit. As {#blank#}9{#/blank#} matter of fact, many people are willing to pay a little higher price for things {#blank#}10{#/blank#} are friendly to the environment.

    Cao Yuan, a 22-year-old Chinese doctoral student in physics, was on top of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} most important scientists named by the journal Nature in 2018 for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (discover) a "magic angle" in graphene (石墨烯).

    Cao's discovery takes a huge step in the decades-long search for superconductors (超导体) in the world. Why was Cao able to make the discovery? His teachers think it is Cao's independent learning ability and interest in doing experiments {#blank#}3{#/blank#} matter. His high school physics teacher said Cao had a strong ability to study on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he) own and was brave to challenge teachers and ask difficult questions. "Cao is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (deep) curious about laboratory equipment," his college teacher told Nature. "Every time I go into Cao's office, it's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a huge mess, with computers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (pull) apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk."

    At 14 he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (admit) into the University of Science and Technology of China's School of the Gifted Young, a special school to cultivate {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (teenager) into world-class talents. But Cao doesn't think himself special and often stresses that he is just an ordinary kid who {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (love) reading about science and doing experiments. "After all, we are all humans, with shortcomings and emotions," he once said.

Photographers Turn Their Cameras on Pets

In 2019 photographers Kendrick Brinson and David Walter Banks visited 14 countries on assignment. When the couple described the adventures {#blank#}1{#/blank#}they had experienced when photographing, people invariably asked, "But who takes care of your four cats and dogs?" They joked that the pet siter made a lot of money.

But 2020 couldn't have been {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(different). Due to COVID-19, Brinson and Banks never left the United States. Often, they didn't even leave their Los Angeles neighborhood. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} {#blank#}4{#/blank#}spending long hours in airport security lines and waiting-for the perfect lighting, the pair stayed along with dogs Tux and Tia and cats Rex and Kudzu. "Our pets became emotional therapy animals, and our only friends we could safely hug in a world {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(strike) by a deadly pandemic," Banks said.

As COVID-19 lockdowns swept across the world in March of 2020, the change made an especially great impact on photographers, who are accustomed to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(spend) long periods abroad. And so many cameras {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(turn) on a domestic subject: the pet.

Research suggests that pets have offered emotional support during the pandemic, helping {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) the long days of isolation more bearable, says Emily MeCobb, a clinical associate professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. In fact, the pandemic has sped up a trend, according to McCobb's and other scientists' observation, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the pet is becoming a member of the family. "In the past 20 to 30 years, the role of the pet in the family {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(take) on a whole new role," says MeCobb." It really hasn't been that long {#blank#}11{#/blank#}these furry child substitutes gained this kind of importance in American society."
