Research has become both simpler and more complex. It's simpler because, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you have computer, you can find information you need by searching the Internet. For all you information, you don't have to go to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} library to find the relevant resource and take notes on it. Instead, you can find some sources from the Internet {#blank#}3{#/blank#} print the copies needed. Remember, however, that you should usually consult different types of sources. That is, you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} always rely just on the Internet for you research.

        While findinginformation is easier than ever, at the same time, researching has become {#blank#}5{#/blank#} complex. There is a lot more material available, which means you may be overwhelmed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the amount of information. You need to learn {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to sort through and find the relevant information for your particular project. Also, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} need to check the accuracy of it.

    Fishermen and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sail) sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (know) that many of these ‘monsters' which have at times been sighted are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (simple) strange fish. Occasionally, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (usual) creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing boat {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (carry) miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (realize) that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shinning silver skin and a bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (live) by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.

    The giant panda loves bamboo. An adult panda requires 12.5 kilograms of bamboo, which it{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hungry) pulls out with its powerful paws, to satisfy its daily needs. Wild pandas live only in the high bamboo forests of Central China. These mountain forests are cool and wet--just as pandas like it. In the summer, they may climb as high as 4000 meters to help themselves to bamboo {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（grow) at higher altitudes. Frequently, pandas{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(see) eating in a relaxed sitting position, with their back legs stretched out before them.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} they may appear inactive, they are in fact skilled tree-climbers and efficient swimmers.

    Giant pandas are unsociable. They have a highly developed sense of smell that males use{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(avoid) each other and to find females for mating in the spring. After a five-month pregnancy, a female gives birth {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a cub. The blind baby pandas weigh only 142 grams and cannot crawl(爬行){#blank#}7{#/blank#} they reach three months of age{#blank#}8{#/blank#} are born white, and develop their much loved coloring later.

    There are only about 1000 giant pandas left in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} wild, with perhaps another 100 in zoos. Because they are so rare, much of{#blank#}10{#/blank#} we know about pandas comes from studying these zoo animals.

    With the development of modem technology, people can stay {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (connect) with their families and friends easily, however far apart they are from each other. WeChat is one of the most {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (frequent) used means of communication in China. It is reported that the number of the WeChat users {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reach) over 1.1billion so far.

    Once joining the WeChat, people can find more and more people start to add them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} friends. They don't have to consider time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (zone) when communicating. Another reason why ifs so popular is that it costs nothing. It's also very convenient for people to immediately update {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they are doing by WeChat.

    However, addiction to WeChat will rob people of the time that should otherwise {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (spend) on something more important. And the many so-called friends on it are not really friends at all, who simply want {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (put) ads or sell items on Moments. Besides, people on the Wechat are more likely to compare {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) with others, which will make them feel bad when finding some people seem to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (success).
