    As is known to us, the year 2016 has one extra day in it — February 29th. This is because it's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we call “a leap year”. Every four years, the year has 366 days in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  instead of 365.

    It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England, the extra day wasn't{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (legal) recognized. There is a well-known tradition in the UK{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (associate) with February 29th, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose(求婚) to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back in the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (five) century, when a famous Irish saint made a{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (complain) that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend, Saint Patrick said any female dreaming of a proposal could ask her boyfriend to marry her on this additional day in February. This so-called tradition{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) in law in the thirteenth century. Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to men in a leap year. It was said that if the men refused, they had to pay a fine!

    Now in 2016, there are calls{#blank#}8{#/blank#} February 29th to become a public holiday. Some people believe that it should be an{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (office) day off, because no one gets{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (many) payments for working an extra day in a leap year. For the moment though, the British still have to go to work on this day.

    Several days ago, a letter attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. It was written to NASA by 9-year-old Jack Davis {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask) to be considered for a job working with astronauts. He wrote to apply {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a planetary protection officer position at NASA. Despite his young age, he thought he would be fit for the job {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (perfect).

    With a pencil, he wrote: “I may be nine, but I think I would be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} good fit. My sister says I am an alien. Also, I.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (see) all the space and alien movies in the past years.” Jack ended the letter stating the other {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (factor) that would make him perfect for the position, such as his great video game skills and his youth,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} would make it easy to learn to think like an alien. He then signed the letter, “Jack, Guardian of the Galaxy.”

    The position of planetary protection officer is well-paid every year. The job, however, is more about science and biology and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (little) about fighting aliens. The officer must make sure that no new species or plants {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (bring) to other planets, and doesn't return from trips to space with anything that might harm Earth. The recent announcement of the position created in the 1960s has caused a lot of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (excite) in the public, according to a NASA's statement.
