To breed snails (蜗牛) well, you need to spray water to the container every morning and evening, change soil every two weeks, and feed them with cabbages and sweet fruits—this is what Sun Youxiang, a fourth-grade primary school student in Hangzhou{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(conclude) after breeding snails for one year.

    From three small white snails at the very beginning{#blank#}2{#/blank#}more than 60 snails of four generations now, he has done a great job in his assignment for his science class{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(witness) the reproduction of animals is a precious experience for kids. Their{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(create), patience, and respect for life will be stimulated (激发) as they learn to take care of animals on their own.

    Sun's teacher said the assignment served as a good example of life education. Practice{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) an essential step in leaning, which will benefit the kids for{#blank#}6{#/blank#}life time. Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures in a friendly way.

    Starting from this year, Science will become an{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (equal) important subject as Chinese and Math in primary schools{#blank#}8{#/blank#}aims to improve students' knowledge about the surroundings{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(draw) by curiosity, more kids will be willing to observe and think through practicing, which will add to{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) recognition of the world in the long run.

    In the US, April is National Volunteer Month,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} recognizes and thanks volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to causes they care about in their{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (community).

    The very nature of volunteering means choosing to work without being paid for it. As a result, people tend to do things they feel strongly{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (concern) about.

    For students, valuable lessons may be learned outside class.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (consequent), in many parts of the US, volunteering is often taken into consideration when vacations{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (plan). Unlike his classmates, Andrew Makhoul,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} university student, spent his 2012 spring break volunteering at an orphanage (孤儿院),{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (locate) in one of the poorest and most violent parts of Guatemala and depending{#blank#}8{#/blank#} volunteers to stay open. Makhoul's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (will) be back soon—because he saw love and hope. “If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, and you will fill{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (you) with hope,” former US president wrote on social media in 2016.

    Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(recent).

    In their paper, researchers in the United States and Japan{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce) their experiment and conclusion.

    Scientists invited 36 volunteers{#blank#}3{#/blank#}were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(show) pictures like broccoli(西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task really was quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(challenge),” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study. “ We used very similar items to see if they would remember {#blank#}6{#/blank#}it was this exact picnic basket versus that picnic basket.”

    Researchers also scanned brains of some of the participants during the experiment.

    They found increased communication between parts{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(involve) in the storage and recollection of memories in brains of those who had exercised.

This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise might have a positive effect {#blank#}8{#/blank#}memory power.

    As all{#blank#}9{#/blank#}volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(look) at the influence of light exercise on older people. “Our main goal is to try to develop an exercise way that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities,” said Yassa.

    From The Reader to National Treasure, TV programs seeking to take advantage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Chinese audience's growing interest in traditional culture had a great year in 2017.

    During a time {#blank#}2{#/blank#} hiring famous pop stars and using silly gimmicks (噱头) have become major trends in drawing younger Chinese viewers, no one ever expected that these slow-paced and serious shows focused on Chinese tradition and culture would {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (accept) so widely. But the fact is that shows like Chinese Poetry Conference and Letters Alive quickly climbed to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} top of the national TV ratings. The popularity of this type of program shows that many Chinese {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) eager to learn more about traditional culture.

    While Letters Alive and The Reader invite people from all walks of life {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (read) letters, essays or poems written by respectable writers and other great people, National Treasure focuses on the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (attract) stories and history behind national-level cultural relics (遗物).

    One reason for these shows' being {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (huge) successful might be their human focus. Literary works {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (share) in these shows talk about real life and they also appeal to regular viewers rather than just literature lovers. Though National Treasure focuses on introducing ancient {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (treasure), it focuses more on the human stories behind them.

    There are more and more cases of drivers behaving violently towards other road{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(use).

    Research has shown that this new form of crime{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(call) road rage (路怒) is a growing worldwide problem. Road rage can happen to anyone at any time. A survey has shown that the morning rush hour appears to be{#blank#}3{#/blank#}most likely time for a road rage attack, and attackers ate most likely to be{#blank#}4{#/blank#}their 20s or 30s. Driving too close and sudden braking (刹车){#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) the biggest causes of road rage. Irresponsible drivers{#blank#}6{#/blank#}drive too close often make the driver in front {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(respond) by sudden braking.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fortunate), most road rage incidents don't  lead to death or injury{#blank#}9{#/blank#}they can be extremely unpleasant for the victim. My advice Keep cool. If will only make things{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bad). Mobile phones can be useful to you. You should telephone the police immediately if you feel an aggressive situation could get out of control.
