One morning Wangpeng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) why there were no customers in his restaurant. Suddenly he saw his friend {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hurry) by. To figure out why Li Chang wasn't coming to eat in his restaurant just {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he always did, he followed him to a small new restaurant. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (curious) drove him inside. There Wangpeng met Yonghui, the owner of the new restaurant, whose diet was mainly slimming food to help people lose weight and be fit in a short time. After his research, Wangpeng discovered the weaknesses and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (strong) of the diets both in his andYonghui's restaurants. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drive) back home, Wangpeng rewrote his sign. The competition between them was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .

    A few weeks later, Wangpeng and Yonghui met again in his restaurant. Instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (quarrel) with each other, they combined their ideas and provided a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (balance) menu with food full of energy and fibre. Finally they got  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (marry) and lived happily.

    Mr. Johnson lived in the woods with his wife and children. He owned{#blank#}1{#/blank#} farm, which looked almost abandoned. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lucky), he also had a cow which produced milk every day. He sold or exchanged some of the milk in the towns nearly{#blank#}3{#/blank#} other food and made cheese and butter for the family with what{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave). The cow was their only means of support, in fact. One day, the cow was eating grass{#blank#}5{#/blank#} it began to rain heavily. While making great efforts to run away, she{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fall) over the hill and died. Then the Johnson tried to make a living{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the cow. In order to support his family, Mr. Johnson began to plant herbs and vegetables. Since the plants took a while to grow, he started cutting down trees{#blank#}8{#/blank#}  (sell) the wood. Thinking about his children's clothes, he started growing cotton too. When harvest came around, he was already selling herbs, vegetables and cotton in the market{#blank#}9{#/blank#} people from the town met regularly. Now it occurred to{#blank#}10{#/blank#} that his farm had much potential and that the death of the cow was a bit of luck.

    I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(terrible) shy I was with so many eyes fixed on me. I had no choice but {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(prepare) for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory—for to read from the paper {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(forbid). The real moment began when I stood on the platform with my legs {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tremble) and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) back, delivering my speech without difficulty. After {#blank#}8{#/blank#} seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding—I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before the audience disappeared. Actually with my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(confident) built up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great) difficulty on our way to success is our fear. Overcome it and we will be able to achieve our goals.

    Alex and Donna Voutsinas are like many couples; they met at work, fell in love and were preparing for the coming {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (marry). Days before their wedding, the couple was looking at old family {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (photo) when Donna came across a picture of herself as a child {#blank#}3{#/blank#} vacation at Disney and showed it to her boyfriend.

    But Alex was more interested in the man {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) in the background behind Donna's smiling family and the character Mr. Smee from Disney's “Peter Pan. Alex recognized the man in the background because it was his father, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was pushing a stroller (婴儿车) during their own family trip to Disney.

    Decades before they met as adults, the couple {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cross) paths at Disney as kids.

    “Just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) in the same picture with my wife when we were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (basic) babies, it's unbelievable,” Alex Voutsinas said. The chance meeting is more unbelievable because the two families lived countries apart. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the photo was taken, Donna's family was living in Florida and Alex's family called Montreal home. I was glad he asked me to marry him before the picture, Donna said, because I know that it's because he loves me and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} because he thought it was meant to be, it was fate.”

    William Campbell, Satoshi Omura and Tu Youyou jointly won the 2015 Nobel Prize for medicine{#blank#}1{#/blank#} their work against parasitic diseases (寄生虫病). 85-year-old Tu was awarded this prize for her contribution to{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reduce) the death rate of malaria (疟疾), minimizing patients' suffering and promoting mankind's health. This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} science is all about.

    As a matter of fact, Tu has won some attention when she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) the Lasker Award in 2011. But there is no way to compare her popularity back to the attention she is receiving today. As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu's winning {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (complete) surprised Chinese people, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} have long been wondering when the first Chinese Nobel Laureate in natural science would appear.

    Tu Youyou is the first Chinese scientist to win a Nobel Prize for work {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (carry) out within China. She has spent 40 years' time on scientific research. Although the Nobel Prize did not come to her until four decades later, it is definitely one of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} most privilege rewards that recognizes Tu's devotion and perseverance in discovering artemisinin (青蒿素). Her record-breaking winning  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) a reminder that science is never about instant success. There is no way to measure how much you spend on scientific research and compare {#blank#}10{#/blank#} with how much reward you get.

    Lake Titicaca, a famous lake in South America, lies on the border between Bolivia and Peru. But the lives of the ancient people, who once lived around the lake and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} culture was thought to be highly developed, have long remained a secret. Recently, however, scientists {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) part in an exploration project at the lake have found {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 1000-year-old temple beneath the water.

    Divers from the study group have discovered a building that scientists think is the remains of a temple {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(build) by the people who once lived beside the lake. The project leaders hope to begin raising {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(value) materials from the site later this week {#blank#}6{#/blank#} bad weather forces a change in their plans.

    "The scientists have not yet had the chance to study the materials {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(careful)," said the project {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(found), John Aubi. "But some have put forward the idea that the remains date from this period because they are similar {#blank#}9{#/blank#} those found elsewhere."

    So far, they {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(make) more than 200 dives into water 30 metres deep. During these dives, they have been recording the ancient remains on film. There will be a meeting, starting later this year to review the film.
