    Debbie is a very busy woman. She has ten children. Every morning she wakes up at 6: 00. The older children get up at 6: 30 and the younger children get up an hour later.

The school newspaper needed a new editor (编辑). Tara knew it was her c{#blank#}1{#/blank#} —she'd always expected to do something for the paper. There were not any nice pictures, but the real p{#blank#}2{#/blank#} was that the stories couldn't interest the kids. 

Tara came to meet Mr. Alvarez, the headmaster, and e{#blank#}3{#/blank#} her thought. "Editing the paper is a big job, even for an eighth {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(grade)!" he said, "And we may not have a paper much longer because of the budget (预算) cut."

Tara stepped forward confidently, "I'll change this, sir."

Mr. Alvarez finally nodded, "You only have three weeks {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the budget meeting." 

Tara then told her plan to the newspaper group, "Now we need two teams. The sales team will work on getting advertisers to help us afford (承担得起) the paper. And the editorial team need to d{#blank#}6{#/blank#}stories students like."

The group took action and things went {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (smooth). The editorial team made a questionnaire to know what students were interested in when the sales team visited many local b{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. A week later, the group created an online paper with more cool pictures and even videos. This new form was well r{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the school. 

The big day came. Tara's group presented their work at the meeting. When it was time to vote, every hand in the room went up for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (support) the idea. 

"Good job!" Mr. Alvarez smiled. 

 阅读下列短文,从每题 A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案

You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change - and he's inviting bikers to join him. 

Daan Ronscgaarde. 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog(雾霾)Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path. 

Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike - sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air - cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face. 

It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze(霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions(排放物) to cover areas of China. 

In 2016, only one - fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection " 

Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem, " Daan said. " But smog - free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities. "
