    As you know, science plays {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very important role in our education. Do you want to keep up with the latest research and discoveries in science? There are many good websites {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you can check out the latest in the science world.

    One great site is Science News for Kids. This site reports science news {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cover) a wide range of subjects. The articles are aimed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} younger readers, but adults will find this site {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (suit) for them as well. Another wonderful site, one that I check out every day, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (call) Science Daily. The site is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (constant) updated with news, often about exciting {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (finding) that change how we view the world.

    These sites post the latest stories and also keep all the past articles they post{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (early). That way you can find articles just about anything that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) related to the science fields you are interested in.

    Tea is one of the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(much) popular drinks in the world. You make it by pouring hot water over the dried leaves of a tea plant. For {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hundred) of years people believed that tea could cure illnesses, and they used {#blank#}3{#/blank#}as medicine. Today scientists know that tea contains chemicals that prevent cells from dying. Most teas have caffeine in them, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}makes you feel more active. Some people have problems{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(drink) tea because it can cause sleeplessness.

    The tea plant{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(grow) best in tropical and temperate places where rain falls throughout the year. Teas can be grown from sea level {#blank#}7{#/blank#}about 2,000 metres, but the best quality grows in higher regions.

    Tea comes from the leaves and buds of tea plants. Wild plants can be up to 9 metres high, however, on tea plantations,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}( pull ) the leaves {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (easy), people cut them back to a bush of about a metre in height. It takes a plant three to five years before it is ready for picking.

    A picker can harvest about 20 kg of tea {#blank#}10{#/blank#}day. On large tea plantations the leaves are harvested by machines, but the quality of tea is higher when the leaves are picked by hand.

    In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the message runner like a prince if he brought good news. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (prepare) for an outing. As we walked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cheerful) out of the door, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, "Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic for it's going to rain." I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strike) him in the face in my mind not for his stupid weather report {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for his smile.

    More often than not, what makes someone angry is not the unpleasant news but the unsympathetic attitude with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it's delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, but big winners know they should share the feeling of the receiver when {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (deliver) any bad news. If my neighbor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tell) me of the upcoming rainstorm with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sympathetic), I would have appreciated his warning. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸) person is sure {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have).
