阅读下列短文, 从下面每题的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案

    Every Christmas, my kids and I visit my parents who live nearly 400 miles away from us. It is always a tiring 9-to-10-hour drive, but that's the only time my parents get to see their grandchildren.

    This year I was the driver, my wife Adriana was in the passenger seat, and my three kids were all in the back seat and our dog Susie was by their feet. We travelled by night time to avoid the heavy holiday traffic. We left the house at about 9:00 in the evening. By around one o' clock, my three kids and Adriana were all fast asleep, including Susie who was lying on their legs. I was also very sleepy by that time, so I closed my eyes for a very short moment. What I didn't know was that I was slowly turning towards the other road and that a truck was coming very quickly towards us. I had fallen asleep at the wheel (开车) when Susie woke me up by jumping onto my leg. When I opened my eyes, I saw the bright headlights of the truck heading towards our car. I quickly turned the car back to our road. I had just missed hitting the truck and avoided a very serious accident.

    I looked around, and they were all still fest asleep. I drove the rest of the distance very carefully. As soon as we got there, I told them what Susie had done and we were very proud of our dog. She still gets special treatment (对待) up to this day.

"Our teas can help protect your teeth and your heart, possibly even helping to prevent cancer," said Luo Shengkai, one of four student hosts from Sichuan University High School. They 1 introduced three self-made health teas through a livestream (直播) on Douyin 2 March 27, 2022, and they 3 for several weeks by now. The livestream got over 60 4 likes and many online orders, with all profits (收入) going to local tea farmers.

"It's 5 first time we have sold tea online. We not only need to introduce 6 tea, but we also need to interact with the audience and answer their questions," said Luo. "We've learned a lot from the process, 7 it's tiring."

Luo is one of a group of students 8 take part in a two-year course on tea research. They learn about tea planting and picking, tea making, package design and marketing through research and fieldwork.

However, 9 a new and popular tea isn't easy. Luo and his team members 10 a tea to better protect students' eyesight. They first met with a professional from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and researched the properties (特性) of local tea. Then they learned 11 functions of ingredients such as goji berries (枸杞), mangosteen (山竹果) and cassia seed (决明子) and did experiments to find what would happen if they 12 all together. They ended up with a cassia seed tea and then added 13 ingredients based on people's feedback.

"Through the tea course, students 14 learn how to be creative and improve their hands-on skills. They also learn to respect tea workers and how to contribute to rural vitalization (乡村振兴). That's 15 our educational means." said Mi Yunlin, the principal of the school.

Known as "soft gold", Gambiered Canton gauze (香云纱) is the only silk fabric (织物) that's still hand-dyed (手染的) using natural plants in the world today.

The skill has a history of more than 500 years. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家非物质文化遗产). Ouyang Yongze is an inheritor of the dyeing skills from Guangdong. The man started learning the skills in 2017.

The dyeing process includes 30 steps. It can take up to six months and is done by hand with materials from nature. "The plant shuliang (薯莨), river mud, sunshine, and grass are all important in dyeing," Ouyang told China Daily.

To dye the fabric, workers put it in shuliang juice and let it dry on the grass. They repeat this many times until it turns brownish yellow. Then, they put river mud on it to help shuliang react fully. After washing and drying it again, the fabric turns black!

Mastering the skills is difficult, according to Ouyang, who put full effort into controlling the density (浓度) of shuliang juice. "Too much may cause color loss, and too little may nor lead to a dark enough fabric," he said. "Better control of the density comes after many failures."

Also, the job can be really tiring as workers have to be at work in the sun for 8 hours each day. Only a few people work in the industry, and skilled masters are getting older as fewer young people take part.

Considering this, Ouyang works harder to develop the traditional craft. He has got together other dyeing skills such as tie-dyeing (扎染法) and batik (蜡染) and has worked with famous fashion designers. They turn the silk into both traditional and fashionable clothes that are popular worldwide. He thinks this can help make the craft stay alive and drew people to the industry.

Clouds change every second, bringing nature's{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to us But can you see it?

Cloud spotting, by its name, is just looking at clouds. Some people do cloud spotting to simply relax {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Others do it to try and better understand clouds, from their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to their names. Ji Yun, 36, is a cloud spotting expert in Beijing. 

In October 2013, Ji got a message from a friend, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}that some rare (稀有的) clouds were heading toward southeastern Beijing. Ji then bought tickets and went on a high-speed train to chase after them. 

"As soon as I got the information, I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}out of my home. After guessing where they were likely to head. I took a train to Tianjin. In the end, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in taking several wonderful pictures in the Wuqing district of Tianjin, "Ji said. The cloud took pictures of{#blank#}7{#/blank#}out to be one of the world's top 10 rarest clouds. 

This experience made Ji famous among the cloud spotters. He set up a WeChat group later that {#blank#}8{#/blank#}year to put people with similar hobbies together. They then set up chat groups in 2019 to cover different areas of China. Now, there are plenty of cloud spotting chat groups. Together, they became known as the Sky Enthusiasts Association(天空爱好者协会). Three years after the association was set up, cloud lovers collected every kind of cloud in the International Cloud Atlas. The International Cloud Atlas is a reference (查阅) book made by the World Meteorological (气象)Organization. 

"We created a book with all of these {#blank#}9{#/blank#} photos. And then we published (出版) it in late 2023, " Ji said. "This is a gift to all{#blank#}10{#/blank#}who love clouds. "
