Have you ever imagined {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in 2116, 100 years from now? A recent study describes robots, underwater cities and holidays in space. City planners and experts on space and architecture were asked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) their ideas on life in 2116. According to them, the way people live, work and play will be totally different{#blank#}3{#/blank#} how we do these things today. They also said that 25 years ago, people couldn't imagine how the Internet {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the smart phones would change our lives. But today, both have changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things, and the changes in the next century will probably be even {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (great).

    Those{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (question) in the research said that people may not go to offices in the future but will work at home instead. People will have advanced 3D printers that will let {#blank#}7{#/blank#} download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then “print” the sofa, table or pizza at home. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} will also be less need for visits to the doctor. People will have a home health capsule that will “diagnose” what the problem is and provide {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (treat). They will also be going into space for holidays, and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hopeful), to get resources that have been used up on the earth.

    What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with "normal" faces.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the movie Wonder shows us that there is no such thing as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(base) on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (畸形) and has spent most of his life being home schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with judgmental classmates and learn to accept{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) as he is.

    In the US, most kids{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) that it is OK to be different. Most people in the US celebrate being unique.

    But some kids have difficulty{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) uniqueness. It's easy to pick on someone who's different,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(especial) if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(center) theme from the movie—even the kids {#blank#}8{#/blank#}pick on Auggie have their own personal struggles.

    As Auggie's classmates get to know him better, they come to find that he's a nice kid {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude toward him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

    She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course. But unlike her school friends, 16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term rest. Instead, she is earning £6500 a day as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}model in New York.

    Sarah {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(tell) that she could be Britain's new supermodel{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (earn) a million dollars in the next year. Her father Peter, 44, wants her to give up school to model full-time. But Sarah, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}has taken part in shows along with top models, wants to prove that she has brains as well as beauty. She is determined to carry on with her{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate).

    She has turned down several {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (invite) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree {#blank#}7{#/blank#}engineering or architecture.

    Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}at the moment, school comes first. I don't want to get too {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (absorb) in modeling. It is certainly fun that the lifestyle is a little{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (real). I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model any more."

    The Chinese Culture Center in Paris, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(locate) in downtown areas opposite the celebrated historic sites of Grand Palais and Petit Palais across the Seine River, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sit) next to a large number of grand handsome and elegant classical architectures that have witnessed the evolution of Paris at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (vary) historical stages. It conforms to(符合) the status of China, a great power with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lasting civilization of several thousand years in the East, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (set) the Chinese Cultural Center in this exact place.

    The amazing progress in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (smooth) selecting the site for the Chinese Culture Center and putting it into {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (operate) in downtown Paris in such a short period was due to high priority of the Chinese government and constructive cooperation of the French party. Wu Jianmin, Chinese ambassador to France,  said {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excitement, "We have our own cultural center in Paris at last, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}we have eventually realized the long cherished wish of my predecessor(前任) in the Chinese embassy." Hou Xianghua, the first director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Paris, said the center will stick to its "non-governmental" nature and greet people from all {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (walk) of life, in addition to serving the mainstream society.
