Yu Min is a famous Chinese nuclear physicist. He was born in Tianjin in 1926. When he was in high school, he was an excellent student. Later, he studied in Peking University.

    In 1951, he became a researcher and began to study nuclear physics. In 1965, he started to work at the 9^th Research Institute. He solved a lot of problems of the hydrogen bomb. His research helped China test the first hydrogen bomb successfully in 1967, just three years after China's first successful atomic bomb test. Since the 1970s, Yu Min has been a pioneer of many research projects. However, his name remained the top secret of China until 1988. ______.

    Yu Min is called "the father of China's hydrogen bomb". "Whenever the nation needs me, I'll do my best," Yu Min says. Because of his hard work, Yu Min has won the National Scientific

    Progress Prize three times. He became a national labor model. He got the Guanghua Special Prize in 1992. In January, 2015, he received the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award for 2014 from Chinese President Xi Jinping. The award itself includes a prize of five million yuan. He used almost 4.5 million yuan for the future scientific research.

    The film Forever Enthralled was directed by the director(导演)Chen Kaige, and famous stars acted in it, such asZhang Ziyi and Chen Hong. This film shows Mei Lanfang's life.

    Mei, a master of Beijing opera, grew up in a family of Beijing opera performers. He began to perform on the stage(舞台)in 1904 when he was 10 years old. He learnt his acting skills and played female roles and became highly good at singing, dancing and acting. He turned himself into a performer of almost all types of the "Dan" female roles.

    In July 1937, the Japanese army occupied(占领) Beijing. The officer of the army told Mei to perform for them and promised to give him a lot of money. Mei refused to do so, and from then on, he gave up performing on stage during the war. This made him poor until the war ended in 1945.

After 1949, he made the Dan have an important place in Beijing opera through many years of hard working. In his 50-year stage life, he used new acting skills and made lots of good operas. So he became the symbol of Beijing opera.

Betty is a biologist. She studies brain diseases that come along with aging. Her 1 is not an easy one. She is trying to understand what goes wrong with the brain over time, and how people can age in a healthy way. It is very important, especially when people are living a 2 life now.

Betty does not have a natural gift (天赋) for math. She never 3 that she could be a scientist one day when she was little. Now, she has got a doctor's degree in biology and become a famous 4 researcher. Betty has made it partly because she is curious about everything. This is a very 5 quality for a scientist. Another 6 is that she is a creative thinker. "After all, science is all about problem-solving," Betty said.

Betty thinks the best part of her research is trying out an idea to see if it will work. Her heart is filled with joy when her idea is proved right and 7 by other scientists. But when things don't go 8 as she plans, she feels no disappointment. She says mistakes may 9 a new idea.

Few are born to be a 10 . According to Betty, curiosity and creativity play the biggest role.

Nüwa is an ancient goddess in traditional Chinese stories. She is best known for creating human beings and repairing the pillars (柱子) of heaven. 

In Huainanzi, the four pillars supporting heaven were {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, a fire burned and a flood troubled human beings. Nüwa smelted (熔炼) a five-colored stone to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the sky and saved plenty of lives. Then, she {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the rest of the stone on the earth, which turned into all kinds of jade (玉). The five-colored stone stands for the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} basic elements (元素) making up life: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. 

According to the tale of the five colored stone, many stories have been created in Chinese {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. In A Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin, the hero Jia Baoyu {#blank#}6{#/blank#} an incarnation (化身) of a piece of the magical five-colored stone left by Nüwa. He was named Baoyu, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he was born with a beautiful jade in his mouth. In Journey to the West, the main character Monkey King was described as a creation out of a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} from at mountain and had super powers at birth. 

Nüwa is believed to be the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of Chinese people. In traditional Chinese stories, human beings nearly disappeared after terrible natural disasters (灾难). Nüwa and Fuxi were the only two left on earth. To remain reproduction (繁衍), she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Fuxi and gave birth to the earliest Chinese.

It's always a good thing to have a hobby. For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community (社区). 

Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her free time to help the students. After a talk with one of the students, things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more hats. 

"The one boy gets on the bus, and he asks 'what are you doing?', I said, ‘I'm making a hat. 'He said, 'That would be great fun having such a warm hat in icy winter. 'So I said, 'What color would you like? That started everything, " Miss Patty told the local newspaper. 

Miss Patty has already knitted 7, 083 hats for students in her free time. Sometimes she will get the student's favourite color before she begins the project. 

What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials (材料) using her own money. Some people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own money. 

Along with making hats for the students that will keep them warm, Miss Patty also gets praise (表扬) for being a trusted (可信的) friend to the students. 

I have a happy family. The {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(关系) between my family members is great. When I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(完成) my everyday study, I often talk with my parents. My mum always gives me love and  care, and my dad never {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(拒绝) to help me. They always give me lots of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(支持) to help me grow up. With their help, I can s{#blank#}5{#/blank#} many problems in life. Family love is so warm and important.
