China reached a milestone in space exploration on January 3, 2019. Chang'e-4 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (successful) landed on the far side of the moon's surface.

    This is the first time in history{#blank#}2{#/blank#} any country has performed a soft landing on the back of the moon. It is also a huge win for Chinese scientists who have been planning out this work for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (year).

    Shortly after the lander's arrival, it sent back a photo of the Yutu rover (月球车) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (roll) slowly across the moon's dusty surface. As{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (expect), the lander will conduct a number of challenging tasks. It will observe the low-gravity environment and explore {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there is water or other resources. Later, soil samples{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (collect) and returned to the earth. Scientists believe that the back of the moon is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (ancient) than the front, so the soil age is valuable for studying the early history of the moon.

    Since the far side of the moon is quiet and free {#blank#}9{#/blank#} electromagnetic interference (干扰) from the earth, it's a perfect place to research the space environment. Everything {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear) to be working smoothly, and we can expect plenty of moon news out of China in the near future.

    Anna had a car accident when she was a teenager. She lost her arms because of that. What's worse, when she was twenty years old, she lost her parents. Her elder sister, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is ten years older than her, told her she'd take care of her. However, Anna refused {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) with her. Instead, she said she would take care of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (she). She managed to enter college and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) very hard. Four {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(year) later, she graduated and offered work. Once she wrote in her diary, "I am quite lucky. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I lost my arms, I still have my legs." Anna lost her arms, but she chose to face it in a positive way. Instead of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (feel) sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us {#blank#}8{#/blank#} good lesson.

    When something bad happens to us, we have two {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (choose). One is to complain, and the other is to face it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (brave). If we choose to escape, it will always follow us wherever we go. If we decided to be strong, new hopes will come. So choose wisely.

I think winter is a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(fascinate) season, especially when it snows. The snowflakes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fall) on the fields cover everything like white quilts. In the morning, many volunteers {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(wear) heavy coats come out to clean the snow. The roads {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (clean) now will not be slippery any more. What children expect most is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) a snowman. With so many children playing and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(laugh), the cold winter is full of warmth and vitality.
