William Campbell, Satoshi Omura and Tu Youyou jointly won the 2015 Nobel Prize for medicine{#blank#}1{#/blank#} their work against parasitic diseases (寄生虫病). 85-year-old Tu was awarded this prize for her contribution to{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reduce) the death rate of malaria (疟疾), minimizing patients' suffering and promoting mankind's health. This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} science is all about.

    As a matter of fact, Tu has won some attention when she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) the Lasker Award in 2011. But there is no way to compare her popularity back to the attention she is receiving today. As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu's winning {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (complete) surprised Chinese people, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} have long been wondering when the first Chinese Nobel Laureate in natural science would appear.

    Tu Youyou is the first Chinese scientist to win a Nobel Prize for work {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (carry) out within China. She has spent 40 years' time on scientific research. Although the Nobel Prize did not come to her until four decades later, it is definitely one of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} most privilege rewards that recognizes Tu's devotion and perseverance in discovering artemisinin (青蒿素). Her record-breaking winning  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) a reminder that science is never about instant success. There is no way to measure how much you spend on scientific research and compare {#blank#}10{#/blank#} with how much reward you get.

    More than 700 years ago, a 17-year-old Italian youth followed his father and uncle on a journey to the East, dreaming about the mysteries of China. The three set{#blank#}1{#/blank#} on a path that might have frightened even the most ambitious travellers. The young adventurer was Marco Polo.

    Having a talent for languages，Marco Polo learned to speak Mongolian and Chinese. Later under the orders of Kublai Khan, he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(travel) far and wide across China. Along the way, he stopped {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (record) detailed notes about the local customs, geography and values of the people, so as to report back to the Khan.

    Marco Polo returned to Venice 24 years later. With{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (count) treasures brought back from the East, he became{#blank#}5{#/blank#} wealthy man overnight.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he witnessed in China aroused much interest among his countrymen. Marco Polo's journey to China and the contents of his{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (vivid) written book, The Travels of Marco Polo, which{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think) to be a fairy tale in Europe at the time, triggered a wave of European interest in the Orient.

    Marco Polo's story is both one about an explorer's search riches and a Westerner{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (follow) his dream to reach China. More than 700 years later, China, the once mysterious Oriental nation，is igniting the Chinese dream of many modem Marco Polos, attracted by its rapid {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(develop) and its growing importance in the world.

    The first foreign language I studied was French, and I learnt it at a secondary school between the ages of 11 and 18. It was a compulsory subject for the first three years and I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (choose) to continue studying it afterwards because I enjoyed it, found it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (interest) and was quite good at it. Outside class I practiced {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (listen) to the French language radio and reading French books.

    Before going to university, I spent three months working on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} farm in southern France. This helped me become pretty fluent{#blank#}5{#/blank#} French and acquire a rich farming-related vocabulary.

    My French has also been {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (help) on holiday on Morocco and Portugal. French {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) as a second language in Morocco and in other countries quite a few people speak French in places {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a lot of tourists visit.

    In September 2009 I joined a couple of French conversation {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (group) in Bangor and I have been going to them ever since. It has resulted in my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (improve) in my spoken French.

    Now I can still speak French fluently and can also read it well, but my written French is not so good.

    If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识别)those of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(great) and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so you'll feel a real sense of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(achieve). Leaving the less important things until tomorrow {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) often acceptable.

    Most of us are more focused {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive {#blank#}5{#/blank#} possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.

    Recent {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} while, exercising, or dong something you enjoy.

    If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you'll be less likely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bring) your work home. It could be anything-gardening, cooking, music, sports—but whatever it is, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(make) sure it's a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

    China's homegrown sci-fi blockbuster (大片) The Wandering Earth scored at the Spring Festival box office. The film is an {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (adapt) of a novel of the same name by Liu Cixin, author of the Hugo Award-winning The Three-Body Problem. As {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (it) visual effects impress a global audience, a united human community when {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (face) a big disaster gets attention too.

    Director Guo Fan said that he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (conscious) avoided making a do-it-alone superhero; instead, the fight to save Earth {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (fight) by all humans. In The Wandering Earth, mankind is threatened by a dying sun, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} forces them to go on a generations-long space journey to look for a new one. At {#blank#}7{#/blank#} center of the story are a Chinese astronaut and his son, who join a global task {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (prevent) Earth from crashing into Jupiter. At the end of the film {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(come) international rescue teams who help the Chinese team and give a final try to save Earth.

    One online review reads, "It fits the Hollywood standard on presentation and visual effects, but the themes of family and love of homeland are typical {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Chinese sci-fi films."
