    The day that you enjoy all{#blank#}1{#/blank#} satisfaction of having all the housework done by a robot might still be a few decades off. But increasingly engineers are saying that{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (robot) are going to make the leap from the factory floor to your family room.

    Bill Gates once predicted the “Dawn of the Age of Robots”. What's behind this new era? It's{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (part) a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (move) around. They can walk crawl or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller these days and also {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (become) more and more efficient.

    A bigger part of the story depends{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the consumers. People around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (lazy) from the 1950s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the television remote control was invented. Also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) the increasing wealth of people ，engineers believe the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives. Robots will do most of the basic housework {#blank#}10{#/blank#}just help you have more fun on the basketball court.

    It was a windy night. I had just turned {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the TV, brushed my teeth and was reading my favorite book, Wuthering Heights (呼啸山庄)by Emily Bronte. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (absorb) in the book when Cathy's ghost(幽灵) appeared.

    As I looked through my book, some strange noises were coming from the window. I walked towards the window {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (see) what was going on there. All I observed were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (branch) of trees waving wildly. All of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} sudden, I heard the noises again. They sounded like someone was knocking at the window. But I knew that was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (possible) because my room is on the second floor of the house.

    My heart was beating {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (violent) as I quickly opened the window. At that moment, a cold, white hand caught my arm {#blank#}8{#/blank#} tried to pull me out of the window. I screamed and tried to free {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I) but in vain.

    Suddenly, I heard a gentle voice saying, “Tommy, wake up.” Then, I opened my eyes and saw my mother was standing by my bed, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hold) my book in her hand. I was so glad that Cathy's ghost hadn't been real!

    The ratio of overweight people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} participated in a survey increased from 29% in 2012 to 31.5% in 2016, and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} number of highly overweight people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (rise) to 550,000, creating a serious headache for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (medicine) services. The increase of highly overweight people was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (particular) sharp among those in their 20s. The numbers came from a study of physical examinations {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (publish) by the Health Insurance Service.

    According to the survey, the highly obesity (肥胖) rate among young people can be a result of their {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (addict) to salt intake and soft drinks from childhood. Eating too much salty food is considered {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a main factor leading to health problems. Besides, drinking soft drinks is also to blame because it makes people more likely {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (gain) weight.

    The result may affect the new lifestyle of those people. Cutting down on salt can be hard, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} repeated training to prefer less salty food is necessary. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do.

    Going to museums has become a trendy thing to do during the holidays in China. A popular choice this Spring Festival was the Palace Museum,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a special exhibition was staged to provide a virtual royal experience for visitors. The entire museum{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(decorate) with newly-restored ancient royal lanterns and spring couplets, including a set of the Chinese character "Fu"{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) by five Qing Dynasty emperors.
