A recent study suggested that taking a bottle of water into the exam hall could help students improve their grades.

    According to the study those who brought drinks,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(especial) water, with them when sitting their exams performed up to 10 percent better than those who did not.

    Comparing their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades, scientists then found that all those who {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bring) drinks with them got better grades {#blank#}3{#/blank#} between 2 and 10 percent.

    It is unclear {#blank#}4{#/blank#} drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（help）effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut {#blank#}6{#/blank#}on anxiety,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} has a bad effect on exam performances.

    Whatever the explanation, it is obvious that students should try hard to keep enough water in their bodies during exams. So next time,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you are going to have a big exam, try {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bring) a bottle of water with you. Who knows — it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} help you pass the exam!

    William Wu, manager of Universum, said that banking remains {#blank#}5{#/blank#} attractive industry for young Chinese. “China's government is now emphasizing the revolution of the finance industry, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} leaves the younger generation with the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (impress) that though banking is a traditional industry, there are still a lot of development {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (opportunity),” Wu said.

    I was on my way home with a friend yesterday {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I found a mobile phone by the roadside. After picking it up, I started searching the contact list and called numbers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (see) whether I could figure out whose phone it was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fortunate), the only person who answered the phone didn't recognize {#blank#}4{#/blank#} number that I was calling from. My friend suggested that we go back to the street and the house in front of which we found the mobile phone. And we did so. I knocked at the door and two young men answered. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}of them had lost their phones, but as I referred to some names on the contact list, one of them said he also had those names {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that it must be the phone of one of their friends. Then, he took the phone and said how{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(wonder) it was that I took the time to find the owner. Afterwards, I left without leaving my name or address. I never considered keeping the phone. Instead, I immediately tried to find the owner. And I believed that was exactly{#blank#}8{#/blank#}I would want someone to do if I lost my phone. It couldn't have been {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good).

    Sometimes, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(help) others is just doing the right thing.

    Yuan Longping is one of China's most famous scientists. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) the land to do his research, he considers himself a farmer. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he has struggled for the past five decades. When he was young, he saw many people dying of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hungry), which was a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(disturb) problem in many parts of the countryside. Then, he devoted all his time and energy {#blank#}5{#/blank#}searching for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding {#blank#}6{#/blank#} area of the fields. In 1973, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (grow) rice that has a high output. Now, he remains {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(circulate) his knowledge in many less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. He is quite {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(satisfy) with his life. However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. In his view, spending money on himself or {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (lead) a comfortable life means very little to him. He therefore gives much money to equip others for their research in agriculture.

    Wilbur and Orille Wright are brothers famous for inventing the first aeroplane. Their interest in flight{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(start) on the day when their father brought home a toy helicopter for them. It was made of paper and wood. The boys played with it until it broke, and then made their own{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(replace) it. When they were older, they owned a bicycle shop where they started producing and selling their own bikes. This provided them with the money to pay for their experiments in flight. Eventually, they built their {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fly) machine.
