For the majority of fans, the NBA means a series of exciting games{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(broadcast) on TV, but for some students in China, the world's top basketball league means something closer to real life.

    On June 6, NBA China and the Chinese Ministry of Education said that their partnership{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) further to improve fitness and basketball development in elementary, middle and high school across China.

    According to China Daily,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (begin) in September, the pilot program(试点计划) in 500 schools in 10 provinces will give students basketball training{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a basketball curriculum created by the Ministry of Education and the NBA.

    NBA China will also host five coaching classes in August{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(train) PE teachers from 500 schools using the newly-designed basketball curriculum. The teachers will then share their knowledge with students through{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(week) basketball classes in the new semester.

    In{#blank#}7{#/blank#}NBA China and the Ministry of Education will start a guiding committee made{#blank#}8{#/blank#}of basketball experts from China and the US to advise schools on basketball programs.

    The two parties will work{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(close) to run school basketball leagues and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(compete) between classes. They will also share training videos and other programs online to develop basketball skills in elementary, middle and high schools.

    The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two choices are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(nature) gas or electric ­powered stoves.

    The World Health Organization warns that millions of people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(suffer) from indoor air pollution at present time, which results from the use of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(danger) fuels and cook­ stoves in the home.

    WHO officials say nearly three billion people are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(able) to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. As a result, more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Most of the deaths are in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(develop) countries, such as India, China and Latin American countries.

    WHO officials say opening a window or door {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(let) out the harmful air will not correct the situation. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}will only pollute the outdoors.

    Nigel Bruce, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool, says researchers are developing good cook­stoves and other equipment to burn fuels {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a more efficient way.

    But, this is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(clean) fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances (用具).

    Last Monday, the students at an elementary school welcomed a new student. He was not shy at all and seemed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (recognize) all kids by their names immediately. You may wonder who can do that. Well, the new student was not a human {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a robot. The 1.2 meter tall student is part of a robot experiment. The experiment is to test {#blank#}3{#/blank#}if robots can naturally deal with a group of people.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(compare) to other students, the robot appeared to be smarter than his “classmates”, because he was programmed with the facial{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(photo) and voiceprints of all kids and teachers there. Also, he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}design) with the contents of all the textbooks. As {#blank#}7{#/blank#}result, he impressed everyone by answering every question {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (correct).

    In fact, this is not the first time the robot {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) around humans. In the past years he has done many tasks, one of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} was accompanying patients at hospital.

    Your teeth may be part of your smile, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they have a more important job­they are the first step in the process of digestion. You have three {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(kind) of teeth. In the very front of your mouth are eight flat, thin teeth called incisors. They are used for cutting and biting food. Next to these are pointed teeth called canines, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} also help you tear food. The remaining teeth are molars. These teeth have flat tops for crushing and grinding the food.
