Kevin Daly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sentence) to nearly three years in prison after losing control of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} partner Alice Hicks' car on a country road {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 80mph. She was a passenger in the Mini-cooper and was thrown from the car {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he crashed into another vehicle  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (move) in the opposite direction. Daly, 24, denied causing{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (die) by dangerous driving and was found guilty by a jury (陪审团) at Taunton Crown Court. The court heard that neither Daly {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Miss Hicks, 22, was wearing seatbelts at the time of the collision that happened on November 17, 2011. NBC New York reports Kevin Daly, was driving on County Road 83, when the road was blocked by a truck that was waiting {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (turn) right.

    We are what we eat because what we eat every day has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} great impact on our health. Therefore, we should make every effort to change our bad eating habits. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we all know, baked or fried foods may be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （taste）, but eating too much of them will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （probable）result in some illnesses. Moreover, some food that costs us a great deal of money and is not healthy is junk food.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (compare) with people in the West, Chinese people used to eat more grain and vegetables, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (little) meat, which is a good eating habit. However, things are quite different now. With the rapid economic {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (grow) of our country, we are now also eating a lot of food that is high in sugar and fat. We {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) the risk of eating out without {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) the balance of our diet .The food we choose affects our health, so we suggest that the food we choose {#blank#}10{#/blank#} give us the nutrients we need.

    Young sunflowers face the sun as it rises in the east and follow it across the sky until it sets in the west. Why does this happen? A team of scientists has finally been able to figure{#blank#}1{#/blank#} how and why young sunflowers move.

    Older sunflowers always face east. However, as it{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(turn) out, an internal（内部的）clock helps young sunflowers track the sun so that they can grow better. US biologist Stacey Harmer and her colleagues had it{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(explain) in a recent paper published in the journal Science on Aug. 5.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(depend) on the time of day, certain growth genes seem to work to different degrees on different{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(side) of young sunflowers' stems（茎）. The east side of their stems grows faster during{#blank#}6{#/blank#}day, causing the stems to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(gradual) bend from east to west. The west side grows faster at night, preparing them for the next morning.

    All this move is highly{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(benefit) to sunflowers. The team found that flowers kept away from the sun had leaves{#blank#}9{#/blank#}were 10 percent smaller on average. According to Harmer, sunflowers which{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (face) with the sun receive more bees and other insects because they like warm flowers.

    Millions of people in cities across Asia are using phone apps to borrow bicycles for local travel. This kind of technology is made for people who want to leave {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (car) and motorcycles at home, and avoid {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (spend) money on a taxi service.

    As {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (report) on TV, bicycle sharing has been rising in popular places like Beijing and Singapore. The two-year bike-sharing trend（趋势）has put over 16 million bikes in China alone, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} has cut car use and demand for gas. “I often use bike-sharing service because it's very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use),” said Wei Zhang, who uses a shared bike several times a week {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to work.

    “Bike-sharing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) crazy since late last year,” said Harry Liu, who works as an advisor for HIS Market. He added that more people are using public transport {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the reason that they can finish their trip with a shared bike.

    Last month, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Chinese bike-sharing start-up company opened offices in Kuala Lumper, Bangkok and Washington D. C. The company, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (found) in April 2016, is called Mobike. Another Chinese company, ofo, provides a similar service.

Chinese New Year, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} starts on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历), is considered as China's most important holiday. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (know) as the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival starts at the beginning {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the new moon. It often happens between January and February. It usually {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (last) about one month until the Lantern Festival (元宵节), which gives everyone plenty of time for celebration.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (traditional), red envelopes with money in are gifted during the Spring Festival celebrations. It's a custom which goes back to ancient times. However, when the tradition {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(start) is unknown. Whatever the reason is, the red envelope is an important part of Chinese New Year to this day.

The firework is another big part of Chinese New Year. A {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) shared the following story on a website. An old man saved a town from a terrible monster (怪兽)by throwing many bamboo {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (stick) into the fire. The explosion caused by the bamboo frightened off the monster. As {#blank#}9{#/blank#} result, Chinese people set off fireworks (爆竹)during Chinese New Year celebrations {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (avoid) the evil spirits of the past.
